SUGGESTS A TAX ON BRITISH WINS Idea In Drought Up by Ono Member of Parliament Ah Mcana of Knifing Money Dr AlMcUted PrM to Com Hit Tlmei.J LONDON, Jan. C. Tho sugges tions mado by n member of Parlia ment to tax British wines as a means of increasing tho revenues has de veloped tho fact that tho public nt largo does not exactly know what Is meant by tho torm "Ilritlsh wine," In vlow of tho fact that only tablo grapes aro raised in England, mostly in hot houses. Ilritlsh wines nro ordinarily mado by country people in their dwn homos out of elderberry, currants, blnck borrlcs and frqlts. Thoy nro cordials rathor than wlnes.jand aro strongly fortlfiod with alcohol. On account or their being so lnrgoly a homo pro duct, thoy havo novor boon taxed. Rut these drinks aro also manufactured by distillers under rovonuo supervis ion, although untaxed. Thoy can bo sold only by licensed retailors. Local wines of this kind do not seriously compoto with grapo tablo wines, unless It bo an imitation port mado out of raisins. Objection Is mado that a tax op thorn would not ylold enough rovonuo to mako It worth whllo, as special licenses would havo to bo issued, to cottagers nnd a Btrlct watch kept to prevent ill icit distilling. Tho cldor Industry, if hotter dovolopod, might ylold somo rovonuo, but n tax at this tlmo would probably kill tho trade SAMOA PLANTATIONS HAVE BEEN RAIDED Sailors Too," celebrated tho 2Bpth anniversary of its formation at Wlll cuiBoord on December 10.
