BEER PAYS MILLION
DOLLAR DAILY TAXES
Beer has become a revenue pro-
ducer of more than a mi.11- n
dollars a day for the Federal,
state and local government—mor ■
than $500 a minute* to the U. S.
Treasury alone—according to of-
ficial figures in “Beer and Brew-
ing in America,” the 1938 edition
of the industry’s economic text
hook. The study is a revised edi
ition Iby Standard Statistics Co.,
Sher- late Warren M Persons, former
! professor of economics at Harvard
j University, and is published by
I the United Brewers Industrial
Foundation.
Federal taxes, which totaled
$273,192,458 for the fiscal year
1938, have exceeded $1,300,000,-
! 000 for the five and one-half
I years of relegalization of beer,
while state and local fees have
totaled another half-billion. Thus
public revenues for the five and
c ue half years I ave exceeded the
aggregate for the 25 years prior
to prohibition, when beer sales
were even higher. This is ex-
j.la ned by the fact that current
tuxl on beer are seven times as
high as in the former days, when
1 he cx-ise was $l pe»* -barrel, in
contrast to the current $5, end
