BEER
 POUR BILLION
 INTO TREASURY
Federal, State, and Local Governments Benefit
 From Wet Revenue

Copyright, 1885, by United Press)
 Washington, August = (UP) - Legal beer and liquor have poured their first billion dollars revenue into federal, state and To- cal government treasuries, esti- mates supplied the United Press revealed today.
 This new source of revenue cov- CTS the period from legalization of high-alcoholic content beer on April z, 1893, followed by repeal in many states on December D, 1893. It includes excise taxes, h- cense fees and customs duties on beer, liquor and wine.
 Figures Tell Story
 Nearly complete figures on rev. enue collections on manufacture and sale of alcoholic beverages from date. of legahZation to June 30, last, are:
 Excise and license fees (federal government) $705,082,59S; Gus toms duties (federal government $64,55S,194; Estimated state anc local tax collections $175, ,000. 900 Total sliQior revenues $944,640.792. H Officials said collections have passed the billion dollar mark over the past month. They continue to show a rising curve because of "progress'' in the fight on boot logging,
 Two Year Collection
 Tn, less than two years these beverages have supplied as much revenue as was collected in the en- tire calendar year in federal in- come taxes.
 Administration officials empha- sized the social implications of the rising beer and liquor tax coliec- tions. Much of the revenue was believed to represent a diversion of this amount of money that otn- erwise might have flowed into bootleg channels.
