A—12 INCREASE IN BEER TAX RECEPTS SEEN Dr. Doran Expects Larger Revenue With More States Legalizing Sale. With beer sales increasing, with more Btates going wet, so beer may be mld,} and with the prohibition repeal move- ment rapidly growing, by a vote of 16 | States wet and none dry, Dr. James M. Doran, commissioner of industrial al- cohol, foresees a big increase in the| Federal tax receipts on beex. The May beer tax amounted to $12,- 000,000. If multiplied by the 12 months of the year this would total $144,000,- 000, as contrasted with the original es- timate of $125,000,000 yearly. The number of States where beer | may be sold has increased rapidly since the Federai beer bill became effective, | April 7. There are now 36 States ‘where beer may be sold, with others coming into the beer column soon. Beer may now be sold in the follow- ing States: Arizona, California, Colo- rado, Connecticut, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, Maine, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Ore- gon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Soutn «Carolina, Tennessee, Vermont, Wash- ington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, ‘Wyoming, Idaho. Among these States is Kentucky, where the Court of Appeals recentiy held that the prohibition law of the State does not apply to 3.2 per cent beer, which. it found, was non-intoxi- cating in fact. The Nebraska beer law becomes effec- tive August 9 and the New Mexico act September 19. North Dakota passed a law authorizing the sale of beer through municipal stores, which would have been effective July 1, but the act has been suspended on a referendum peti- tion. Oklahoma has passed a law which will be submitted to the people on ref- erendum on July 11, provided sufficient funds are donated to pay the expense of the election, no appropriation having been made therefor from the State treasury. In Texas, the House has passed a bill calling for an election on August 26. In Utah, local brewers may. manufacture beer for out-of-State con- sumption. A special session has been called in Virginia for August to deal with both beer legislation and a con- vention for repeal of the eighteenth amendment. ‘The number of breweries making beer | has increased from 125 licensed when beer sales started April 7, to 349, ac- cording to a revision by the Govern- ment up to July 1. Many more breweries are understood to be organizing, or planning to open. TO BE AT BIRNEY SCHOOL Produce in “Unemployed” Gardens May Be Taken to Site Tomor- row for Preserving.
