Eidredge Opposes New Tax On Liquor At House Hearing

Strong opposition . . increases in the federal tax on alcoholic beverages was voiced this week by Laurence H. Eidredge, president of the Pennsylvania Alcoholic Beverage Study, Inc., before the House Ways and Means Committee of Congress. Mr. Eidredge, a Cape May native, is professor of law at the University of Pennsylvania and is one of Philadelphia’s most prominent attorneys. “If the present retail prices of liquor are boosted by increased taxes 1 predict that the profits of bootlegging will lure the criminal gangs back to it on a large scale and we shall see again the deplorable spectacle which respectable citizens sought to end with repeal,” Mr. Eidredge declared at the hearing in Washington Tuesday. “The only way to prevent large scale bootlegging is to keep the profit out of it. During prohibition it flourished despite the best efforts of countless thousands of federal and state enforcement agents and police to stamp it

out.

“Aside from workers in defense industries the impact of higher income and other taxes and higher living costs have already hit the average citizen hard. What he has left, after taxes, is much

less than he had before.

‘This condition is bound to in-

crease as time goes on and it wall — inevitably drive even respectable redge concluded.

LfVERY WEEK over 2,000 telephone, in New Jersey are temporarily out of service—not because there is anything mechanically wrong with them— but because tile receiver has l>een left off the hook (or is held up by a book or other object that prevents the switch hook from going all the way down). • • • When this hap]»ens. these telephones register "temporarily out-of-order" at the central office. No one can reach them until the trouble is corrected,

which may he a few miuutes or even hours.

• • • Today, keeping every telephone always ready for service is highly important, for the telephone is being used to a record-breaking extent to

help speed our nation's war effort.

citizens to patronize bootleggers if the price dUferentiel between ' gal liquor and bootleg liquor is ■bstantial,” Mr. Eidredge point-

l out.

“Any law, whether a tax law. or any other law, which makes lawbreakers of respectable citizens is a bad law and can remit only in serious social eviL In these war days it is particularly important that our laws, and law enforcement agencies, should be looked up to with respect by, and given the hearty support of, our people. We are waging & war to preserve law and order, and a decent respect for it in our land

and in the world.

“Perhaps an increased tax on liquor will produce more revenue, though 1 doubt it. But what we shall get for our money will be more crime, the flouting of the liquor laws by our citizenry which will breed disrespect for law in general, and the placing of great wealth and sinister pbwer in the hands of gangsters. “Most of the increased revenue frbm an increased liquor tax will go to the bootlegger. He is the man who is hoping for another, and the fifth, increase in federal liquor taxes since repeal. As a student of the social effects of law, I hope that you gentlemen will not be the answer to the bootleggers’ prayer,” Mr. Eld-

Hints For Homemakers

BEAN STALK OF JACK’S DREAM TRACES ANCESTRY YEARS BACK By Virginia Reynolds, of Cape May / — Some of us/ feel “high and mighty” wheir able to trace our ancestry Iwrk three centuries. But suppose you could trace your history in/unbroken succession to ancestojar 3000 years ago? If you could, you would dislike having the word “humble” applied ttr you; yet this is how we designate the bean, after such worthy and age-long service this friend to man has * rendered. “Mighty" instead of “humble’’ is the proper word. The bean of prehistoric time was not the bean we know best today, but it was a near relative. In some paits of Egypt superstition prevented the priestly caste from eating beans. They regarded the bean as unclean and refused to even look at it. But in other parts of Egypt it was a highly valued food The bean was introduced into Europe by the Aryans. Dioscorides tells us that cooked in the shells and eaten like asparagus they were a favorite delicacy. The Romans considered the bean a symbol of good luck. When they sowed grain they brought a l>ean to the field to insure a good harvest. The merchants at the ports mixed beans with their goods in order to bring good fortune to the seller. Roman judges often came to a decision by a system of drawing beans—a white bean signified acquittal, a black one condemnation. In France, when a plant appears bearing only white or yellow leaves, the peasant knows that death is hovering near. Pythagoras' belief that the eating of beans dulled the mind seems to live in the idiom of the Ger-man-speaking people, who say of someone who will not listen to suggestion, “He has been eating beans”. Today, the bean’s easy culture and keeping qualities make it one of the most economical and thus one of our most valuable foods, being high in proteins. Dried beans afford a great deal of n ishment for a small amount of money and should be more generally used than they are.
