LIQUOR DUTY CUT
POLICY SUGGESTED
Tariff Commission Also
Sees Move as Curb on
BootIeggers.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
An assertion that O cut In imports
duties on liquor would tend to dis
courage bootleggtng came from the
Federal Tariff Commission today as
the House Ways and Means Commit
tee went forward with its analysis OF
the administration Of the 1884 liquor
taxing act.
Dr.. James M. 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 al
coholic beverages and the tariff" the
Tariff Commission presented figures
to show that the total liquor revenue
has mounted from $l9l .843, 800 in
1900 to $299,127, ,127 in 1894.
Total revenue from all commodities
in 1900 was s528.4s3, 900 and in 1884
1t was $1,000, ,9s9. 900.
$4,000, 900 From Imports.
Speaking of the tariff problem on
distilled liquors, it said the duty in
1884 was IS per proof gallon. When
applied to 7,l7a,000 gallons of i'm
ports, this yielded $35, ,783 900 in Gus
toms revenue. The 81 excise tax that
was superimposed on this brought in
1856 GOO.
The report continued: 'It seems
probable that the current consumption
of legal liquor is being restricted by
the present high prices, resulting from
a combination Of short domestic stocks
and the level Of present duty in con-
junction with the excise tax. A lower
rate Of duty, with or without exemp-
ton of imported liquor from the ex-
else tax, would result in reduced prices
at which imported liquors are sold on
the American market and might lead
also to reduced prices on domestic
liquors"
Sees Twofold Benefit.
On the question Of the relation OF
taxes and bootlegging, the report said:
"A rate of duty which would make
mature whisky and other liquors
available at o lower price would tend
to discourage bootlegging by diminish
ing the bootleggers' profit margin. This
would probably produce . twofold
benefit to the Federal Government:
% It would increase the volume Of
tax-paid liquor and 90 it would re-
duce the cost of enforcing liquor tax
laws"
Turning to protection Of the Amer
lean industry. the report continued,
Using the tariff as O means of pro-
tecting the domestic industry during
the period in which i is unable to
furnish an adequate supply Of mature.
aged American-type liquors may not
In the long run prove benefit.
THE higher price and lower quail
ity which would result from a pro-
tective policy might discourage the
consumption Of American-type prod
ucts and result in an impairment Of
future markets for these goods"
