FEBRUARY 12, 1935 PAGE F1YPJ HEAVY DUTY HITS BUSH LIQUOR EXPORTTO U. S. Only 40 Or 50 Distilleries Operating In Scotland Compared To 133 Before War Ask Reduce Duty, By H. h. PBHTY (United Press Staff Correspondent.) LONDON. (UP) Parched Amer ican throat during 1034 were sooth ed by tre times sa muo whiskey aa they were during the days of pronl bitton. according to official Brlth figures, Yet distillers In Britain, America's chief source of supply, are grumbling that their exports are down! Statistics show that In October, 10.14, the latest return available, tne total Imports of whiskey from all countries were 645,008 proof gallons. This compares with 320,582 proof gal lons In August. Imports Up, Jor the 10 months ending October the total was 3.871,834 proof gallons Against 1,404,047 proof gallons for all spirits, Including whiskey, gin. bran dy, etcetera, In 1933 . On a modest average of 380.000 proof gallon ;or each month of 1934, the total for whiskey alone topped the four and a half million mark. The distillers here .are reluctant to give any figures to support their clAlms of decreased expoits. . In 1932 they shipped practically nothing. In 1933 they sold 328,279 gallons. Their 1034 sales will not be known until official figures are available, possibly In February. There la little doubt they will be up. The distillers explain that the 1033 figures really were considerably high er due to unofficial Imports. They, themselves, of course, had nothing to do with them, but, as they point out, there was nothing to stop a private Individual buying large quantities of liquor nnd bootlegging it Into the United States. Even with a home duty of about $18 on every proof gallon there was a profit ln It. 1914 It word. The distillers also oalm that the depressed state of the Industry pre vents them resuming the big annual trade of pre-pTohlbltotn and pre-wxr days the United Kingdom shipped Just over a million gallons of whis key to the United States In 1914. They point out that only 40 or 50 distilleries are operating In Scotland now, compared with 133 before the war. The plight of the barley grow er, particularly the Scottish ones, la extreme. The reason for It all Is the par ticularly heavy duty of 118 on every proof gallon, compared flth (3.75 be fore the war. The trade for several years nai petitioned the government to reduce the tax. Once again they are p reel ing for some relief In Neville Cham berlain's 1935 budget. At the moment It seems possible that Chamberlain will make a out If he does the trade will begin to boom. Scores of distilleries will re open. More whiskey will Tow across the Atlantic and down American throats.

ARMY OFFICER'S DEATH PROBED DENVER, Feb. 12. (fy Secretary Ickes termed the Taylor grazing ot a Magna Charta for the ranges of the wAt, In a Brest ling addreaa today outlining a tentative plan for Its operation and pledging protection to the amall stockman. "Political Influence will be of r.o a vail, 'J proclaimed the secretary of the Interior to a conferenoe on the publt; domain which attracted representa tives of a dozen states. "Size will not count as against this dedication I to the common good. It Is to take counsel with you as to the best means to protect and build up the range that I have come from wash lngton." Proper t'w to Plctate. Grazing privileges will be eppor-, tloned under the act, the secretary aald. on the principle of aiding In thi "proper use" of land or water ownod or controlled by each applicant, "For example," Ickee told his audi ence, "a man may file an application for range sufficient to graze 100 head of cattle or 500 head of sheop, or some multiple of those numbers, for a given period of months. "If he owns or controls property sufficient to support that number of stock for the remaining months the year he will be given preferential consideration. Where the range Is Inadequate to take care of all such preferences. It must be apportioned on a pro rata basis, with special con sideration given to small operators. Respect Rights. "Where water rights control the use of the range, the owner of such rights rmist be given a preference rating depending on local conditions and the customary range practices of the locality. "There must necessarily remain a large acreage of land In small scat tered tracts Incapable of administra tion In grazing districts under the Taylor law. Such lands will be need ed to satisfy outstanding grants that may hove f'illed for any reason. In some states there will be a desire to exchange for government land scat tered school sections within a graz ing district for the purpose of con solidating ownership. The Taylor law authorizes such exchanges on appli cations from the states. Reasonable Fees. "I ccme now to a discussion of feee to be paid for the use of the rane. The interolr department will h&ve no quarrel with stockmen on that siibject. You are willing to pay reasonable fees and that Is all we will expect. "Between 78 and 100 grazing dis tricts will be organized In regions containing sufficiently extensive open areas," the secret tary said. "It is estimated that not less than 75,000 applications will be filed for grazing prlvlllges in such districts." Applications expected included 3,000 from Arizona, 4,000 California, 10,000 Idaho, 15,000 Montana, 5,000 Nevada and 1000 from Oregon. . A v 1 ! , ' i . .
