PAGE EIGHT THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA THURSDAY, JUNE 1, 1950 TAXES, FEDERAL AND TERRITORIAL, KEEP LIQUOR PRICES UP It is not the hqunr dealers mul the government that is making money on the retail price of liquor, according to Al Shyman, Alaska Distributors, and Bernard Badrian, | Hiram Walker representative in Ju-| neau over the weekend | Consultations with T. C. (Bud)| Whiteside, their southeast Alaska | representative, and, for Mr. Shy-| man, a meeting of the Baranot| Hotel board of directors, kept the| Seattle men busy while here. Mr. Shyman left for Seattle by Pan American Monday and Mr. Badrian was a passenger for Sitka and re- turn by Alaska Coastal before con- tinuing his trip to Anchorage, Fair- banks and Kodiak. “Federal and Territorial taxes represent the largest cost in the re- | tail price of liquor,” Shyman said “On every bottle of whiskey sold, the federal tax is $1.80 to $2.25 and the Territorial tax is 60- to 75-cents. | And under the present plans of Congress, we understand that there is to be no reduction on liquor taxes | as is expected on excise taxes on| luggage, furs, jewelry, cosmetics and | so forth.” A falling off in the use of] straight whiskies, was noted by: Badrain. “Before the war, 70 per- | cent of the whiskey sold nationally | was straight whiskey and only 30l percent was blended. During the v\ar| the position changed, due to short- | ages of straight whiskey, and 10 percent straight and 90 percent | blended was the way the public| was drinking. Now that large Stocks | are aging in government warehouses | - and lots of straight whiskey is be- ! coming available, it looks like the blends have captured the consumer demand and it is doubtful that| straight whiskies will recapture more than 30 percent of the whiskey | business.” And, in case the amount of liquor consumed in the country is a worry. | n Mr. Badrain said that “In spite ot the increased population of the United States, liquor consumption is not increasing.” Baranof Board Meets Shyman, who is Vice President of the Baranof Hotel, said that ex- tensive renovation, started during| the year, wili continue until the property is in shape as good as new. | The Board meeting was held with Wallis George, secretary and trea- surer. “Plans for this year call for a plant to soften water, improved re- frigeration in the food department, papering and painting and remodel- ling of the coffee shop. “Patronage of local people en- title them to the best we can pro- vide, and we want the people of Juneau to be just as proud of the Baranof as are the stockholders.” Shyman expressed pleasure with results of the Baranof’s manage- ment by Will Hughes. Shyman will return to Juneau in July for a meeting of Baranof stockholders. 60 COUNTS HANDED DOWN ON GAMBLER BY GRAND JURY NEW YORK, June 1—M—A New York County Grand Jury has returned a 60-count information against Frank Erickson, gambler who recently testified before a Senate investigation that he netted $100,000 a year from gambling en- terprises.
