WHISKY WAR TAX ADDS
TOLIQUOR MEMS PROFIT
Boost of Five Cents a Drink
Gives Them $1.65 More Than
the New Revenue

Saloon men have turned the war tax on
whisky into a source of revenue, and the
man who puts his foot on the brass rail
pays the shot. To take care of an added
tax Of S2.10 a gallon the price per drink
was raised five cents, which means an In
creased profit OF about S3.60 a gallon.
Almost every saloon in Philadelphia and
its environs now has a scale of prices
figured on the above basis.
The distiler or importer must pay an
added tax of $2.10 a proof gallon on the
whisky when IL is withdrawn, and this tax
he passes on to the saloonkeeper. At the
lowest estimate the saloonkeeper serves
eighteen glasses of whisky fro ma quart
At an extra nickel a glass he then takes In
ninety cents more for the quart than before
he raised his price to take care Of the
tax"
The saloonkeeper pays s21o tax.
His added profit. this minimum csti-
mate because Of the tax, therefore Is $1.50.
But hosts of saloonkeepers are making
an even larger profit because Of the tax.
In the first place, the tax is paid on
proof gallons" and, as most Of the whisky
sold over the bar" will average about
ninety proof. the tax of S2.10 actually
covers a quantity equal to about one an.
one-tenth wine gallons--the unit of meas
ure used by the saloonkeeper in his deal
