NEW LIQUOR TAXES
EFFECTIVE TODAY
President Signs Measure Be.
fore Midnight-HaIf Billion
Revenue Seen.
By the Associated Presx

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt announced today
that he signed the $500, ,0eO 900 liquo,
tax bill shortly before midnight, thus
making the major provisions of the
measure applicable on today's sales.
The measure raises the levy on whisky
from $l.10 q gallon to 81.
This was the first bill passed this
session, and Mr.. Roosevelt lost no time
in making 1t a law.
The legislation reached the desk oi
Mr.. Roosevelt just before O'Clock last
night. He referred it to Treasury ON
cisls for a quick check-up and signed
it at 11;50 pm.
The stamp provision requiring Q l.
cent internal revenue stamp to be at
tached to every container of liquor to
show the tax has been paid. takes effect
in 80 days, but If the Secretary of the
Treasury finds within 20 days 1t would
be impracticable to do that he would
be given an additional month to put
1t in force.
After the Senate had reconsidered its
approval Of the measure yesterday and
rescinded its action in approving an
amendment to place excise levies, in ad-
dition to the tariffs. on imports from
debt-defaulting countries, the bill was
repassed and the House quickly con-
Cured In Senate changes to complete
legislative action.
The liquor bill, which House leaders
have estimated would raise $470 900 600
in revenue and Senate supporters said
income from existing tariffs, contained
few changes from the text originally
passed by the House last week.
1t places a tax Of 81 a gallon on
distilled spirits and wine over "a per
cent alcoholic content, SIS barrel on
beer, wine up to IA per cent alcoholic
content, 10 cents gallon; up to 81 per
cent, 20 cents; "a per cent, 40 cents
and over "a per cent. the same as spir-
its, So.
Champagne, s cents half pint; arti-
fetal carbonated wine and liquors, cor
dials and sweet wine, fortified with
brandy, 21a cents half pint; grape
brandy and wine spirits used in fortify-
ing wines, 20 cents gallon.
Amendments added by the Senate and
concurred in by the House later would
permit newspapers and periodicals to
circulate in dry States with liquor ad-
vertisements and reduce the brewery
occupational levy from $1,000 to 500
If brewery produced less than 500
barrels a year, the tax would be only
$50.
