IN CASE OF IR
THE PROHIS
WASHINGTON, March 6.—Every
saloon, bar and other retail estab
lishment in the United States will be
put out of business in the event of
war with Germany if a movement now
being organized by national dry lead
ers and dry members of congress
prevails.
It is proposed the United States
adopt absolute prohibition as a war
measure as Russia has done. The dry
plan, if executed, would establish na
tion-wide prohibition immediately by
an act of congress without the de
lay incident to submitting an amend
ment to the federal constitution to
the various state legislatures.
Wayne B. Wheeler, of Columbus,
national counsel for the Anti-Saloon
League of America, has pledged the
support of that organization for the
plan and a number of influential
members of congress, including Rep
resentatives Fess and Cooper, of Ohio,
declared themselves in favor of the
proposal.
The plan, in brief, is to so increase
the federal revenue tax on retail li
quor dealers as virtually to tax them
out of existence. The tax is now $25
a year for each dealer. It is proposed
to increase it to $1,000. As the state
tax law in Colorado is now $1,000 as
in most other states, this measure
would have the effect of doubling the
tax burden of retail establishments.
Breweries and distilleries would not
be directly affected, but dry leaders
say the fatal effect the increased fed
eral tax would have on retail estab
lishments would put them, as well as
all wholesale companies, out of busi
ness.

PROSPEHin IS
BEING FELT IN
ALASKA TODAY
SEATTLE, March 5.—Alaska is
now enjoying prosperity on a more
stable basis than ever before, accord
ing to D. Vucetich, an officer of the
Bank of Anchorage, and the Alaska
Importing company, who is a guest at
the Frye Hotel. He will leave within
a few days for San Francisco on a
business mission, says The Times.
“The people of Alaska are mak
ing money and they are banking it, as i
is very clearly shown by the increase
in the banking business,” said Mr.
Vucetich. “The Bank of Anchorage
has increased to twice its formed size,
both in deposits and outside business,
and is preparing to move into its new
concrete building, within a few
days.
“Farmers of the north are begin
ning to realize excellent returns from
their crops—potatoes and beets being
the most important products of the
northern farmers. The mining and
the fishing industries are growing
rapidly and plans are now under way
by the government to improve the
harbor of Anchorage, and w’ith the
advent of labor and capital every
prospect points to one of the biggest
years Alaska has ever experienced.”
Fred Carlquist, who is a graduate
optician from San Francisco, is per
manently established with George Os
born, the C. St. Jeweler, and will ex
