HIT BOOTLEGGER
CHOAOMICE
$2.20 Per Gallon Mentioned
as Probable Recommenda
tion to Congress Legal
Liquor to Retailer at $1.20
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. ( AP) A
liquor tax "somewhere between $2
and 93 a gallon" and low enough
to squeeze out tn bootlegger waa
advocated to a Joint congressional
committee by Joseph H. Ohoate, Jr.,
chairman of the lederal alcohol ad
ministration. He was followed by Edward O.
Lowry, Jr., chairman of President
Roosevelt's interdepartmental com
mittee, who expressed the opinion
wAiisky of rather low quality might
eventually be sold for 91.50 a quart
under a $2.60 a gallon federal tax.
The committee had recommended a
levy of this amount.
$2.20 Probable Figure
Choate did not mention a specific
figure, In line with the administra
tion's policy of leaving a decision
up to congress. A 92 20 a gallon
levy waa frequently mentioned aa
probable.
President Roosevelt waa represent
ed as being more Interested In driv
ing the bootlegger out of business
than In boosting the amount of liq
uor revenues.
Lowry exjlalned the committee's
recommendation for a 92.60 tax was
based on tU accompanying sugges
tion that the federal government
take over the entire field of gallon
age taxation, and divide the revenues
with the states.
He said If this suggestion was not
followed and the gallons ge tax field
left open to the states the federal
tax should not be more than 92 or
92.20 a gallon.
He estimated revenues from a 92
tax would be 9170,000,000 and from
a 93 tax $218,000,000.
Might Cost Over $1.50 r
Questioned by Representative Mc
Cormack (D Mass.), Lowry agreed
there was some doubt in his own
mind as to the possibility of selling
whisky for 91.60 a quart with a tax
of 92.60 a gallon..
McCormack asked if It wouldn't be
better to fix the tax rate at 91.75
In order to assure elimination of the
bootlegger.
Lowry agreed the committee had
kept the tax as high aa it could In
order to raise as much revenue as
possiblea nd still permit the legal
liquor Industry to outsell the boot
legger and that It might have
"steered too close to the line.
The witness said the committee, In
considering the differences in cost
between the legal and illegal sellers,
had taken into consideration two
factors that the public would rather
buy legal than illegal liquor and
that the Illegal operator must make
a wider margin of profit.
Cost to Retailer Si. 20
Lowry said the best evidence the
committee coma obtain was that le
gal liquor could be placed In the
hands of retailers $1.20 a gallon, but
that Illegal spirits cost 94.20 a gal.
Ion In the retailers .hands because
of "protection, bribery, gunman and
everything down the line."
Lowry explained the 94.20 figure
waa baaed on large scale operations
but that It probably would be im
possible for legal liquor to compete
with the small bootlegger with a
couple of bottles in his satchel." He
explained that for the latter the
only cost, of distribution waa his
shoe leather."
Representative Crowther fR., N,
T.) suggested that 9170,000.000 es
timated to result from a 92 tax
would not make up for the reve
nues automatically lost when pro
hibition waa repealed.
. Revenue From Imports.
Lowry said in addition to an ex
cise tax of 9170,000,000 the treasury
estimated 20,000,000 gallons of lm
portatlons would pay a tariff of
8 1 20,000.000 and wine revenues
would amount to 930,000.000.
Lowry agreed there were many
"complications" in carrying out his
committee's recommendation for di
viding revenues with states that re
frained from levying a gallonage tax.
Representative Evans R., cal.) sug
gested the plan was "impractical"
but Lowry dissented.

Charles Farrell
Comes Wednesday
In Craterian Hit
The most glorious romance since
"7th Heaven."
That Is how "Man's Castle,' which
starts lta four-day engagement at
the Craterian theater tomorrow, has
been hailed. And like "7th Heaven,"
this latest romance was directed by
Frank Borzage, whose directorial
genius waa responsible not only for
the sudden start to stardom of Janet
Gaynor and Charles Farrell. but also
for James Dunn and Sally Ellers,
whom he directed in "Bad Girl." A
lore born of the fragile dream of two
hungry hearta is unfolded In the
contsastlng setting of the somber,
poverty-stricken depression commun
ity and portrayed by two of the
screen's most appealing players, Spen
cer Tracy and Loretta Young.
Spencer Tracy, fresh from his tri
umph in "The Power and the Glory,"
plays the role of "Bill." an irrespon
sible, gruff, kind, but charming fel
low. Loretta Young is "Trlna,
hungry, homeless, helpless girl, who
la befriended by Bill and taken into
his miserable shanty home In the
squatter community on the river
front. The ecstatic love of these
two young people is the story of
"Man s Castle."
Others in the cast are Glenda Far
rell, who plays a role similar to that
she had in "Lady for a Day," that of
a musical comedy star. During the
course of the picture, she sings sev
eral songs. Arthur Hohl. well-known
character player, is cast as the brag
gart, a powerful and vivid character,
Walter Connolly as the preaching
night watchman; the ever-colorful
Marlorle Rambeau. as a broken-down
prostitute, and Dickie Moore aa
lovable and appealing crippled boy.
FOR ANOTHER TRIAL
It has been stipulated between
counsel that arguments In the mo
tion for a new trial of Ted Haines,
Rep Top district father, now serving
three years In state prison on con
viction of a statutory crime Involv
ing a 15-year-old gtri, will be sub
mitted in briefs. Monday. December
11 has been set for submission of
the briefs by District Attorney Geo.
A.' Codding and Attorney Rawles
Moore, for the defense.
The defense contention is based
upon the claim that Vie name of the
foreman of the grand Jury doe not
appear on the indictment; that suf
ficient time was not granted for the
preparation of the defense, and ex
ceptions are taken to the rulings of
the court, and the remarks of the
state attorney In his closing state
ments to the Jury. .
The defense also contends that in
troduction of testimony setting forth
a trip to Butte Falls of Haines and
the girl in the case was improper,
and that new evidence has been
found. , It is also claimed that feel
ing existed against Haines in the
Red Top district.
Haines, in his own behalf, pro
duced a witness to show that he was
in Grants Pass with the complaining
witness and another girl at the time
the state .holds the crime waa committed.
First half of the Elks' club bridge
tournament will be completed to
night at the temple, play starting at
8 o'clock. Keen competition la de
veloping aa the tournament pro
gresses and it la expected that the
remaining half of the schedule will
see even better scores than .have been
chalked up in the first four night
of play.
