Couiuel for Lipke contended that
the section was invalid because it
imposed in the name of a tax and

V. Willcbrandt presented the cae

it importance a a precedent not

prohibition but also in the matter of
raining revenue. Congress intended
in enacting the VoUtead law. she
contended, to continue the practice
which had prevailed before national
prohibition and impose a tax upon
thoi.e who manufactured or sold
liquor. This, she admitted, had the
cifrct of compelling them to share
with the government a part of the
profits derived from their illicit prac
tices. The amounts assessed under
the section were taxes and not tines,
she added, directing the court's at

Rats are a menace to the community
a band of robbers, like thieves in the

UniUp will prevent hidden losses caused
by these animal pests.
Do you know that each female rat is
capable of producing from sixty to one
hundred rats per year if allowed to breed
unmolested. BurnUmUp compound will ex
terminate the scavengers.
Experimental tests with live rats held
in captivity has proven that rats will eat
BurnUmUp in preference to corn, oats,
wheat, mill feed, etc., which makes it a
wonderful accomplishment.
With the use of BurnUmUp compound,
which is a finished product in powdered
form, ready to use, rats become mummi
fied, thus preventing decomposition and
bad odors.
