THE TRAFFIC
IS ENORMOUS
, ....... , .
RESULT OF INQUIRY INTO PRO*
POSEI) CHANGES IN EXPRESS
CLASSIFICATIONS?ALL COMES
FROM MAIL ORDER HOUSES.
THE GOVERNMENT REPORT.
Washington, June ?4. ? Approxiy
mately 20.000.000 gallons of liquors
annually are chipped by express
principally from mad order houses
direct to consumers In prohibition
states.
This startling (act was developed
today in* an Inquiry conducted by
the Inter-state commerce commission
into proposed changes in express
classifications which reaulted In an
advance of rates on packages con
taining liquors.
The commlsaltm held that the ex
preas requlrment that liquor con
tainers should be packed in corru
gated paper cartoons was reasona
ble; but that the charge for transpor
tation based upon arbitrary weights
?eighteen pounds for the gallon of
whlskep packed ? waa unreasonable.
Commissioner McChord. who con
ducted the inquiry and prepared the
opinion of the commlsalon, points
out that the Industry directly con-,
cerned la that of the mall order 11- J
quor housee. "It waa the spread of
the prohibition movement," the opin
ion aays "that gave vitality to this
character of traffic in liquor. With
state-wide prohibition came the in
ter-state traffic In liquor. The decis
ion of the Supreme Court that this,
traffic waa inter-atate and, there
fore, superior to interference by the
state governments gave the industry
a tremendous impetus, and eatab
llshed the express companies aa the
cancers of practically the whole of
this traffic.
"Jacksonville. Fla., probably the
largeat shipping point for liquor 1%.
the 8outh, sends out between three
and four thousand packages of one
or two gallons dally, or a total of
about one and one-half million gal
lons a year. Chattanooga ships
about 786,000 gallons; Richmond
546,720 gllons: Petersburg, 268,122;
Pensacola. 267,760; New Orleans,
255,866; Augusta, 215,150 and Nor
folk, Va., Carlo 111., Emporia Vs.,
Louisville, tfCy., Portsmouth. Vs.,
Roanoke Va., and Savannah, Ga.,
ship more than 100,000 galolns each,
annually.
"The movement Is much more ac
tive in the South than in other sec
tions of the country partly becauae
of thte extent of the prohibition ter
ritory in that section, partly because
of the large quantities of very cheap
whiskey manufactured and shipped
there for the consumption of the
negro population.1?
The opinion concludes with the
statement that although It Is ..ot the
function of the commission to dwell
on the moral aspect of the question.
It la cor*-' ??---?* that the trafllc la an
evil one, and Is one of the important
factors in the race problem of the
Soath.

DEMOCRATS HAVE IT IN THEIR

ENT TARIFF LEGISLATION
SAYS CONGRESS WILL REMAIN
IN SESSION THREE MONTHS
MORE.
Washington, June 24 ? Represent
ative David E. Finley, of the Fifth
Scuth Carolina district, who 1b dean
of the South Carolina delegation and
one of tell moat Influential and ex
perlenced Democratic leaden in the ^
House made some very interesting
analytical comment when asked his
opinion about the developments of
the past few days In the Senate,
where the Democrats and Insurgent
republicans, voting together, show^
ed their ability to control the pro
ceedings of that body.
After pordictlng that congress
would remain in session not less
than three months longer, and pos
sibly until the opening of the next
regular session. Mr. Finley express
ed the vley that It would be a great
mistake for the democrats in the
Benate to permit the amendment ofx
the reciprocity bill. If, said Mr.
Finley, the free list bill or the wool
bill, or both, should be attached to
the reciprocity pact, the president
would probably veto the whole prop
osition, and the result would be that
tho present oppressive Aldrich Payne
tariff would continue in force for
another two years at least. He
thought that such an outcome would
be bad not only for the prealdent,
as the patron of reciprocity, but for
the democratic party as. its policy
has been wisely outlined In the
house under the level-headed lead
ership of Speaker Clark and Chair
man Underwood.
Mr. Finley emphasized the fact
that the democrats In the senate
have It in their power to secure a
definite line of legislation for the
relief of the American consumer. It
is wsll known, he said, that ihe dem
ocrats will have the support of the
I regular republicans to a sufficient
extent to pass the reciprocity bill
without amsndment. But they are
also ss sure, declared 'the Sooth Car
olinian, of the aupport of enough
insurgent republican senators to
pass substantial free list and wool
revision bills after the reciprocity
measure has gone through. The pas
sage of reciprocity wll anger the
insurgents to such an extent that
they will take pleasure In voting for
tariff revision measures slong these
lines, not merely to carry out their
own previous doctrines, but to hit
back* at the regulars for support
ing reciprocity. By taking advant
age of this situation among the re- >
publicans, concluded Mr. Finley, the
senate democrats can insure trlum
phant achievement instead of a
mure nullity which will do them no
good.
