Only 40 Or 50 Distilleries

Compared To 133 Before

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.

LOCAL DEBATERS
FACING ASHLAND
TWICE TOMORROW
By John flnlder.
Holding their first defense debate
for the Oregon state championship,
the Medford high school forenslcs
team will meet the Ashland team In
double contest tomorrow afternoon
and evening.
The Medford negative team, with
Catherine Ford and Luclen Smith,
will fire the opening allots tomorrow
afternoon when they debate the Ash
land affirmative at the local auditor
ium at 2:30,
Tomorrow evening, the Ashland
negative team will play host to the
visiting Medford affirmative couple.
These two will be Caroline Cook and
Jeannette Thatcher. A contest was
to be held this afternoon between the
Ashland and Orants Pass teams. For
the past two years, Medford has had
a championship debate team, and It
U the hope that another will be cred
ited to the students again thla year.
The Judge chosen for this confer
ence la James Carrel of the speech
department of the University of Ore
gon. He will also Judge the Medford
aeries with Grants Pass on Thursday
afternoon and evening.
A meeting was called earlier In the
season to make all arrangements for
dates, localities, and to choose an ex
pert Judge or critic.
Those present at the meeting which
drew up the schedule were George
Briscoe, Ashland superintendent ot
schools, who acted as chairman, rep
resenting the State High School De
bating league; B. C. Forsythe, Ash
land high school principal, and Rolla
Reedy, Ashland debate coach; Princi
pal J. F. Swlgart of Grants Pass high
school, and Howard Barrett, Grants
Pass debate coach; Principal Norman
Ashcraft of Talent high school, and
Miss Mary McLarnan, Talent debate
coach; and Principal Paul Menegnt ot
Medford high school, and Rex Robin
son, Medford debate coach.
The question being discussed this
year Is, "Resolved: that the federal
government should adopt the policy
of equalizing educational opportuni
ties throughout the nation by means
of annual grants to the several states
for public elementary and secondary
education."
"No members of last year's cham
(jlinshtp team are available for ser
vice thU year," said R. E. Robinson.
"Although the squad Is seriously
handicapped by lack of exiwrtence In
actual lnteracholasttc competition, we
hope to compensate for thla by nu
merous practice encounters before
different audiences. Almost all mem
bers of our squad are showing vevy
definite Improvement In platform
work ."
Many weeks of preparation are nec
essary to turn out a finished debate
speech and much credit Is due Rex
Roblnaon, coach. The winner of the
Southern Oregon conference will
meet the winner of some other con
ference In an elimination contest.

Taylor Act Called Magna
Charta For Ranges Of
West Political Influence
Declared Of No Avail.
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.

with is a little fuel for the perennial
fires of that old-time argument about
the value of a college education.
University of California under
graduates Included In their final ex
amination papers the following:
" love to sit In a qutet wood and
commute with God."
"The poet Daniel compares his love
for Delia to a half-blown nose."
"Daisy Miller's greatest misfortune
In life was to have an affair with the
Collosseum In Rome."
"A siren Is a virgin from the waist

"She was equally gracious to fools

"The mould of man's fortune Is In

"Bacon says studies are of no use

"The Lotus Eaters ate the lotus

"The men were tossed and battered
Into unconsclentlousness."
"Browning believes that one mo
