nastics Tuesday in following- the many
subjects presented hy a dozen or more
witnesses. The discussion rang"ed
from canary birds to cows, and from
near beer to champagne, with onion?,
spaghetti, candy, nuts, tomato paste
and other items mixed in.
The 8Decific schedules under cnni.L
oration were those dealing with agri
cultural products and Provisions and
spirits, wines and other beverages.
Liquor importers, through Levi Cookt,
protested against the proposed rates
of $5 a gallon on brandy and ?fl a gal
lon on champagne, pointing out thnt
these were in addition to the internal
revenue tax of $2.20 a gallon.
Calling-attention that under the law
iliquors could not be imported'for bey
lerage purposes, Mr. Cooke said 'most
of it was used for medicinal purposes,
adding that the tax was very steep for
a medicine, frhis led to a discussion
of the medicinal use of liquors, and
Senator Smoot, Republican, Utr.h, re
marked that he recently haa seen
