Lower LIQUOR
DUTY IS URGED
IN COMMITTEE
Reduction Would Aid
Fight B~ootleggers,
Is Plea Made Before
Tax Group

WASHINGTON, May i4-LR-An
assertion that q cut In imports duties
ON liquor would tend TO discourage
bootlegging came from the Federal
Tariff commission Tuesday as the
house ways and means committee
went forward with its analysis Of
the administration Of the 1894 liquor
taxing act.
Dr.. James N. Doran, head Of the
Distilled Spirits Institute, went to
the house committee session to
plead for lower taxes.
In a report devoted to the relation
Of whisky, wine, beer and other
alcoholic beverages and the tariff"
the tariff commission presented
figures TO show that the total liquor
revenue has mounted from $751;
e43,900 In 1900 to $299. l27, l27 In
1884.
/ Total revenue from all commod-
titles In 1900 vas $528,493,0O0 and in
1884 Il was 81. 600,9 89 900.
Speaking Of the tariff problem on
distilled liquors 1t said the duty In
1884 was SIS per proof gallon. When
applied to 7,l78!0O0 gallons OF i'm
ports. this yielded $35, 78S, 600 In
customs revenue. The 81 excise tax
that was superimpoSed on this
brought in $14.356.000.
The report continued 1T seems
probable that the current consump-
ton Of legal liquor is being restrict
ed BE- the present high prices. re-
sulting from a combination of short
domestic stocks and the level Of
present duty in conjunction with
the excise tax. A lower rate Of duty,
with or without exemption Of i'm
ported liquor from the excise tax,
would result in reduced prices at
which imported liquors are sold on
the American market and mt@ht
lead also to reduced prices on
domestic liquors"
