I UKEfm _ leorge Barr McCutcheon's 1 Blackville 0 Seats nc ] lLL LIQUOR RECORDS SMASHED j ireatest Production During the Past Year, Says Commissioner Cabell. Washington, Nov. 26.?The anmal report of Royal E. Cabell, comlissioner-of internal revenue, given ut here to-day, makes several starting declarations. All records were broken in the ast fiscal year in the production of lcoholic liquors. The smoking of opium is a widepread vice in this country and opiim "joints" exist in every city of onsiderable size. The double system of taxing <|leoaargarine is corrupting grocers and ross frauds are being perpetrated n the butter buying public. The internal revenue receipts last ear were $322,526,299, the greatest i the history of the government. Corporations making returns upon tie new corporation tax law, No. 70,202, with an aggregate capital f $6,886,430,519. The aggregate et income to the stockholders was 3,360,250,642. The year's production of distilled pirits amounted to 175,402,395 galins, nearly 7,000,000 gallons more ian in the previous banner year, 907. The production of beer, ale, tc., amounted to 63,216,851 barrels, early 4,000,000 barrels more than i the previous record year, 1910. The amount of liquor held in onded warehouses for ripeningmow eaches the enormous total of 249,79,346 gallons. To remedy the oleomargarine sitution, Mr. Cabell suggests that fraud rould be wiped out if a single standrd of taxation for the colored and ncolored products be established, nd if the manufacturers be requird to put their product in small ealed packages instead of selling it l bulk.
