Dear Sir:—
The principle topics discussed at
the present time are beer and
wine, balancing of the budget, de
pression and technocracy with a
few friendly wars thrown in. The
New Year is well on it® way, but
no beer yet. We wer« promised
beer for Christmas, now it is for
Easter. It reminds me of the
prospector in the hills, who, year
after year, expeats to Ut the pay
streak. My personal opinion Is
that we will have no beer until
the 18 th Amendment is repealed
and that event is a long way off.
if ever, but don't bo discouraged
as Nome is said to have very good
beer, so why worry.' -
Tremendous efforts are being
made, both in and out of congress,
to legalize 3.5 per cent beer and
■wine and to get around the Con
stitution to make it appear that
such beer and wine are non intox
icating. The more this question
is studied the greater are the dif
ficulties encountered. An eminent
authority says. "If such a law is
sustained it will be the first docu
ment in human history in which
* beer is treated as anylthing but an
intoxicaiting liquor. It Is so treat

It seems that we are debermin-:
ed to drink ourselves to prosper
ity and pay the taxes of the mill
ion* rie brewers, not only In this
country. but in Europe as well.
The German Brewers have moun
lains of barrels of beer ready for
shipment. France has due billion
gallons of wine in cellars and the
Scotch distilleries are running ov
ertime. They are willing, yes
eager, to ship their products to us
and help us to regain our pros
perity and balance our budget.
Our legislators say that the sa
loon must never return. If beer
and wine are legalized and de
creed non intoxicating, they, of
course, can be sold in the soft
drink parlors, and the question
pops up. What will those places
be? A professor of psychology In
the medical school of Yale Uni
versity was called before the com
mifctee and he testified that he had
experimented on seven young men
for several days and that the re
sult showedpositively that 2.75
per cent beer does intoxicate.
That of course, is nothing new;
we all know
The brewers have been called
into consultation and it has been
suggested that a campaign be in
augurated to teach the American
youth to drink beer and provide
«n estimated~revenue of $300,000,
-000.00. Such a campaign might
/be successful, but 1 hove my own
doubts about the revenue as the
largest amount of revenue from
beer and wine during the pahny
days of the saloon was only $125.
000,000.00. If the people con
sume enough beer and wine to put
the Government on its feet they
will hardly be that way themsel
1 ves.
The balancing of the Budget is
too intricate for me to pass on.
It is about as conflicting as the
‘beer tangle with which it is inti
j inately connected. It seems now
(that this baby will be handed over
jto the New Administration, which
I disowns it, but which, ‘‘nolens
ivolens.” will have to adopt it.
The government proposes to put
| a tai of $5.00 a barrel <?n wine i
and beer. The consumer wants;
;a five cent beer. The brewer to
pay an excess profit tax—a finan-'
]oial barrier to the manufacture of
| “thin” wine and "gentle” beer.
• The minor must be protected from j
[this non intoxicating beverage and j
it must not be advertised over the :
radio in- those states where it is !
prohibited.
To remove from wine and beer j
the two prime reasons for their:
interest to man—kick and profit—
■will leave the situation very much
as it is now. The forgotten man
ie not going to be overlooked, but
not ip the way he expected. His
salary and tax-exempition is to be
reduced, and he is going to oe
made to understand that it is a
privilege to pay something to sui>
0>ort his Uncle Sam.
The only ledeeming feature about
the whole thing is the supposed
depression. It is the real sliver
lining In the nefbulae. which fs
going to blaze the trail to a bet
ter social life and a more equal
and economic distribution of the
fruits of labor. There are ttupw
who say that they are feeling bet
ter since the depression. Some
say that they have had more fun
since the depression started than
it hey ever had before. They are
beginning to know what it is to
have real friends, and what it is
like to eat common every-day
food. They are getting acquaint
ed with their neighbors and are
beginning to love them. Since
their salaries have been cut to
where they can’t afford to buy
filet mignon, roast breast of guinea
hen, frozen deserts and bootleg,
which have killed more good men
than the World War, they are eat
ing plain every doy food and en
joy it, in (dot, some of them are
glad to get sow bosom with the

and going to clubs, they were sel
dom at home. Good many have
oome down from their pedestal
now and are living at home. The
twin beds are stored In the gar
age. the old family affair is being
used and they are enjoying life.
The thing that is going to bring
forth a better state of being for
all concerned to "Technocracy.'*
This word is now on the *lips of
everybody, Sts exact definition has
not been agreed on, but the fore
most economists the world over
are discussng it. Broadly speaking
it is a government by technicians.
The lawyers, politicians and the
hunkers are to be tobooed and the
government taken over by techni
cians. composed of resource engi
neers. production engineers and
economists and distribution engi
neers, They say we are falling be
hind the machine: For my part I
think this better than falling in
front of it. This new doctrine
contends that the experienced and
capable men of today aTe to be
rated as "well-intentioned deaf

does not mean anything as soon
as the purpose of industry shifts
from profits on absentee Invest
ment to that of a serviceable out
put of goods.
