Few will doubt 'that. But get inside the big tent and listen to the brewery champions. Some or tne ablest in tneir ran are in wasu jnglon. Congress knows It, and as the demands incnease for some modification of the Volstead law, congress in weighing some of the brewers' claims. While congress Is pulling Its collective hair, trying to wiggle In and around the bonus problem, the brewers step right In and point tho way out of the dilemma. The brewers have bombarded congress with a neat digest or the tax problem and how to solve it. The brewers say the way out is to increase the alcoholic content of cereal non- S-nT beverage to 2 per cent and tnereoy enricn tne unuea ...... i.., tcun not) nnu n war.

Tax of "Wet Duya." Prior to prohibition heavy beers and ale were produced at the rate of 60,000,000 barrels a year. The tax was $1 a barrel. A few other special taxes were added, which increased the taxes slightly. Now the tax actuaries are cited as authority for the statement that if palatable cereal beverage could be manufactured and sold as substi tutes for the varied concoctions now paraded about through legal and Il legal ways. 100.000,000 barrels would be produced annually In the United Stutes. and the taxes collect- iblo from that Bource would be as high as $600,000,000, besides the varied forms of taxes collectible in other ways, through taxes on deal ers" permits, etc. It is contended that carbonated soft drinks, manu factured by compounding flavors, sweetening and carbonic-acid gas, have less physiological valuo than would be the case of the cereal bev erage of a higher alcoholic content. The drys. In the present com plexion of congress, are sufficiently if)' lo use poisonous substi- j strong to defeat any such proposal.

It is proposod that the .tty buy this block and convert It into a recreation center for the city. The Hast heirs agree to donate a certain strip of land belonging to them and lying within the blocK. ine ciiy owns a portion of the land where Its stable are now located, but would be required to buy the Tipton prop erty and the Young properly. About 400 people who signed tho petition asking the council to place tins mai ler on tho ballot agree to donato time and labor lu improving the park and Installing plnyi ground apparatus afler tho land has been cleared. The matter was first brought to the council In the form of a petition signed by ubout 400 resident of the city but the petition waa not techni cally correct and the council Is now asked to Initiate a measure at a spe cial elecllun to be called at the same time a tho primary eloctlon. Last night a large delegation BP neared before the council and urged Hint action bo taken to Pluco the project on the ballot. John Flurry, commander of the local American Legion post, called the council's ntteution to the peti tion. He stated that there was a sufficient number of signers to Indi cate that there Is a general senti ment in favor of the proejet and that Ihe measure should not be kept from a vote merely because of a techni cality. Tho wishes of the citizen In this matter should lie respected, ho said, nnd nn opportunity to vote up on the matter should be given. He directed tho council s attention to Ihe need of a playground nnd recreation park and slated that at pre sent the children of Ihe city have no placo lo play excepl upon Ihe streets. The proposed site, he snv. Is Ideally situated in that It adjoins the camp grounds and could be made a great beauty spot. Other speakers favoring fhe park were Charles W. Clark, County Judgn Qulne, County Treasurer Saw yers. Mrs. J. K. Sawyers, Mrs. Stan ley Kidder. Tho only opposition expressed nt that llnio came from City Attorney Wlmberly, who elated that he Is not iu favor of the park. He said thnt It was a project to get the city to Improve the streets there for the benefit of private property nnd thnt the park would rot Ihe city a grent sum of money. Ho stated thnt al though offers lo donate work In Im provement might now be forthcom ing, thnt when the time actually camo to Improve tho pnik that Ihe eltv would be required lo pay the bill. He also slated that he has not (lie time to prepare tho necessary paper In order to get Ibn mailer on pare the papers, but that he ha not the time to do so before tho 2!lth, by . which time they must be turned In. Mr. Wlmberly staled that he doe net believe tho people would vota any more taxes and that they would quickly disapprove a bond Issue for Ihe purpose of buying a purk and that It would be a useless expense for tho city to call an election. Exception was taken to the city attorney' statements and it was claimed that the city would be asked for nothing but the actual cost or buying the property and removing the buildings. Mr. Sawyer took the attorney to task for his claim that he did not have time to do tho work, claiming that he had put off the ac tion of requiring the gas plant to slop allowing gas to escape nnd bo como a nuisance to the community, although Instructed to do so threo yeurs ago. 1 This precipitated an argument over tho ga plant and the digression led the cily attorney to agree to bring suit at once, if necessary, to abate the nuisance. Afler considerable discussion the council decided that there should bo some fungible proposition to work on. There have been no options pro cured on any of the land and the council doe not know how much money will bo needed. It wa shown that ir bond are to be Toted that the voter hould know exactly how much money will be needed and the council decided to grant the support ers of Ihe proposition two (lays In which to secure options and outline a definite proposul which will be considered at an adjourned meeting , !. a. ll Tl... v nli.1,1 (IF!
