BEER HAS CUT FEDERAL TAXES
Saves Everybody A Cents Recent Survey By
 Assn Shows
EXCEEDS BELIEFS

New York, N. Y., Aug 26-Beer has produced enough Federal rev enue to save each man, woman and child in the United States A cents in federal taxes in the fifteen weeks since its legalization on April 2, according to statement to-day by c. D. Williams, secre- tary of the United States Brewers Association.
 'When the Federal Beer Bill was signed, said MT Williams "goyernment officials predicted that beer would pour from $100,- 100000 to $125,000,O00 into the national coffers during its first twelve months. The figures re- leased by the treasury department this week show receipts in federal beer taxes of $54,119,739 from April z to July 31, the equivalent of A cents for everybody in the United States or "A cents for every person of voting age.
 ''In other words, beer has pro- duced in fifteen weeks approxi- mately half of the reduction in the government financial burden it was expected to produce in its first full year of public enjoyment. This is in addition to the millions of dol lars it has brought to states and communities in taxes and other forms.
 eff the present rate of beer con sumption is continued, its federal tax revenue will have reached $1S5.OO0,O0O by April. 1884, truly a welcome contribution to the pub- lie purse. The American people never paid a tax with greater en' thusiasm."
