RAISES ISSUE
Samuel Wilson, in Letter to
Governor Edwards, Chal-
longing Statements

Samuel Wilson, of the Depart
ment of Law Enforcement, has writ
ten to Governor Edward I. Edwards
a letter which challenges the figures
the governor quoted in his address
at Morristown when ne said that a
stamp tax on wine and beer would
net the government at least $780,
000,0 annually. Mr.. Wilson goes
into the matter of statistics n
shows quite conclusively that, were
Governor Edwards figures correct,
the income tax would be a mere
bagatelle compared with the beer
wine tax. In fact. each family in
the United States would have to con-
sumo two gallons of beer or wine a
day, says Mr. Wilson. His letter in
its entirety follows:
HON. EDWARD 1. EDWARDS,
Governor of New Jersey.
Dear Sir:
Were you in earnest, or only try
ing to fool the public, in your address
at Morristown advocating light wines
and beer, when you said that a small
stamp tax on wine and beer would
net the government at least $1,75O,-
10000 annually?' You are classed
as a banker, and financiers ought
never to juggle with figures. Kind
~ permit an analysis:
"One billion, seven hundred and
fifty million dollars would mean a
tax of $16.55 on each man, woman
and child in the nation, or $82.75
on each family. You have forgotten
that before the Eighteenth Amend
ment became operative thirty-three
states, containing over fifty-five mill
lion population had adopted prohi-
bition laws, and your tax could not
be forced upon them. so that the
old wet states would have to pay
your $1,750, 900 600, or-in round
numbers-$175 to each OLA million
families; half of these being nom
drinkers, the tax would be doubled,
or $3.50. Again, some ten other
states, including New Jersey, would
be free from your Federal beer and
wine tax, because they have adopted
stringent prohibition laws, and
Sam couldn't collect a cent un-
til those laws are repealed. This
would swell the figures enormously.
The income tai would be a bagatelle
with your beer-wine tax
so far as plain people are concern
ed. AS a ~financier, have you con-
sidered. Governor, how much booze
the people would have to drink to
raise this revenue?
I'm the fiscal year, ending June
30, 1919. the last before wartime
prohibition, the total consumption of
and beer in this country was
34.639,S70 barrels, and the total rev.
at high war prices was $118.-
III, 211. This is only $1,631,588,789
short of your figures.
"At the Ia rate of $3.50 per bar
rel on beer. the current rate, the
public would have to consume one
one hundred and sixteen mil
lion barrels to earn your promised
revenue, or-in round numbers

man, woman and child in the ma
