Prohibition measures were laid before the House Ways and Means Committee with two proposals from prohibition supporters and one from Representative Joseph R. Fordney. Wayne B. Wheeler urged a 500 dollar per gallon tax on whisky, confiscation of bonded stocks, and strong federal enforcement. John Kramer recommended concentrating 29 million gallons in a few Kentucky warehouses guarded to prevent withdrawals, leaving 40 million in storage. Fordney floated selling the whisky to buyers and letting drinkers have a single grand drunk to clear the issue, a suggestion Kramer said had already been considered. Tilson of Connecticut opposed heavy enforcement in communities opposed to the Volstead Act.
