TAX CUTS irish
WHISKY USE

DUBLIN, April 80, Whisky is
no longer the popular drink in Ire.
land that it was thirty or forty
year ago.
For one reason, whisky is too
costly. 1t has become a luxury
which only the wealthy can afford.
This is due to the excessively heavy
taxation imposed upon it and, in
consequence. it would seem that
both the drinking and the distilltnG
OF whisky are on the point OF
coming to an end. ~
If this result were due to a wave
Of temperance, prohibitionists might
be glad; but it is not so-at least
to any great extent.
Drink in various forms is still
consumed in large quantities, but
it is generally admitted that there
Is less drunkenness than formerly.
The consumption of beer and porter
is larger. Notwithstanding the fact
that these drinks are also more ex'
pensive than in pre-war days.
The only black spot Is the in
creased consumption Of Illicit
whisky, called poteen, which, ow-
ing to the fact that It pays no duty.
can be sold very cheaply. It's
effects on the consumer are mad
dening and, in many cases. deadly.
because it is spirit in a new" state
and without the softening influence
Of age.
The figures relating to the tax on
whisky are astounding, and the
surprise Is that the article has been
able to bear 1t SO long. The taxes
are not the imposition Of the new
Free State government. but are a
heritage from the British regime.
From 1900 to 1909 the tax on
whisky was IL shillings a proof
gallon. In 1909 1t was increased
to IA shillings, in 1913 to 80 shill.
ings. in 1919 to so shillings, and in
1920 to 70 shillings pence, al
which it remains. This virtually Is
an increase Of seven times the duty
Of twenty-siX years ago, while the
retail price has increased by nine
or ten times
