OF TAX DON'T
INFLUENCE BEER SITUATION

Brewers have not yet decided
whether they will reduce the price of
beer when the tax is taken off by the
government the LIST of July. In nearly
all cities the brewers have agreed that
they will retain the 60 cents added
70 the price of barrel beer to recoup
against the tax. claiming that the
price of the materials used is 50 much
higher this year that they are justi-
fled in this course. and as natural
sequence considerable of a wall is
going up from the retailers. who had
hoped that the price would be re-
duced when the tax was taken off.
notwithstanding the fact that the
retail trade has. as rule. made il a
practice to get $50 for barrel of beer
over the bar. the retailers are af-
fecting to believe that the retaining
of the so cents by the brewers will
work them great injustice. and
they say that the S11 To S13 which
they make on barrel of beer. if they
get 500 for ii is eaten up in the
handling of it.
On the other hand. the brewers are
claiming that the reduction of the
tax will not recompense them for the
losses they have incurred i'm keeping
the price of beer where it has re-
manned since the tax was imposed.
and especially during the past fall and
winter. They say that the cost of
hops and barley has increased more
than twice. and that when the tax is
rescinded they will be making but
fair profit on their output.
However. there * no denying the
fact that brewers are prospecting be-
yond their fondest dreams. 1t is
owing to the dual fact that they have
quit fighting each other and that the
country is turning To beer and away
from whisky. despite the popularity
during the cold weather of the high
ball
1t takes only three or four hours
to make beer, but the capacity of the
plant is limited by its storage room.
New beer is not palatable. Ninety
days is the earliest that it is fit to
drink. BY the aid of some tricks of
the trade this can be cut down a
fortnight or so. but three months
are generally required to age" beer.
With this time limit breweries have
to check their output.
