Tax On Beer Seen
AS Endangering
Five Cent Glass
Contributor Points Out That
nickel Beer" Is Surest Way
To Real Temperance

Editors Note - The folL0aDimq
article 9UGs submitted to this paper
aVith request that 1t be published,
not as q boost for beer but for the
soacadness of the reasoning. We
are glad to present the article.
The legislature, in putting seven
ty-five cents a barrel State Tax upon
beer, undoubtedly chose what is, at
the moment, the lesser of two evils.
That the tax itself is definitely an
evil is clear. That it had to be put on
to solve the still more pressing prob
lem of relief, is also clear. But the
moment that the problem of relief is
solved, this tax should come off.
Maryland has always been state
in which the mass of people are tenn
perate and moderate. We have learn
ed, long ago, that the sins of excess
result from both extremes-the ex-
treme of wetneSs and the extreme of
dryness. And it is historic that when
the mass Of people are deprived of
wholesome, mild and normal food bev-
erage in the form of well brewed and
well aged beer, the trend is markedly
toward the strong, high-powered
liquors. That this condition still pre-
walls was definitely demonstrated dur
ing the tragic years when the Eigh-
teenth Amendment was in effect.
With the return of legal beer, Mary
land accomplished wise forward step
when it decided to forego a state tax
on beer and with the cooperation of
brewers who undertook to operate on
a low selling price basis, saw to it
that the people of this state could
buy good, sizable glass of beer for
a nickel.
Economists have proved over and
over again that in the good glass of

which is apt to have far reaching
detrimental tendencies and one which
the tax experts in the Legislature
should arrange to set aside at the
earliest possible moment.
Let us guard with jealously our five
cent glass of beer as the real protec-
tor of true temperance. Let us keep
common sense facts and real condi-
lions in mind and not permit ourselves
to be swayed by the theories of i'm
practical utopians or unduly influenced
by those who think only Of collecting
taxes without due regard to the price
that must be paid.
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1936-04-24

beer for five cents lies the greatest
safeguard of true temperance.
Now we are confronted with the
drastic reduction in the size Of the
glass of beer it is possible to sell for
five cents. The working man, no long
er able to buy satisfactory glass OF
beer for nickle, will be influenced to
the lower priced hard liquors.
To the student of economics and
sociology, the inclusion Of the beef
tax in the relief fund may well be re-
garded as the lesser of two evils and
the immediate solution of temporary
problem, but nevertheless, as tax

A FAIR PRICE FOR THE FARMER

The principal interest Of agriculture is fair price for
its products plus stable market in which demand is
closely atuned to supply The farmer wants to know when
he raises crop that he find buyer for it-and that
the price paid will leave him something above the bare
cost of production.
The successful farm cooperaves of the country have
gone long way toward achieving that ideal It is true
that during depression markets shrank and that prices
paid sometimes under production COSTS But it is the
opinion of many experts that conditions would have been
much worse had the co-ops not existed.
The cooperaves through organized business methods
now obtaining fairer prices for the farmer They are
bringing stability out of the marketing chaos They are
showing their members how to produce better and larger
crops small acreages and at lower COST They are the
strongest influences for beterment of the farmers
nomic and social condition.

NEW YORK, April 18.-Securities
markets tilted downward again today
as foreign and domestic developments
apparently were less reaSsuring.
The stock list turned heavy fol-
lowing a sharp break in Johns-Man-
vile on an earnings statement that
was considered somewhat unfavorable.
The major building material issue
was weak from the start and finished
at its low of the day at 102, off 10
points.
The rails, motor equipments and
most other groups felt the pressure
of trading sentiment that leaned
toward the theory that it might be
better to run away and live to fight
another day"
Losses of fractions to 2 or more
points were general at the close. al
though support appeared for some
categories in the final few minutes.
Several new years lows were recorded
in the retreat.
The Associated Press average of
60 stocks was off 4 of point at 62.7.
Transfers of 800, $50 shares, compared
with 798,280 last Saturday.
First-quarter corporation reports
on the whole, were interpreted as
satisfactory, but there were sufficient
exceptions to dim the ardor of some
recovery proponents, and to again
bring forward the question as to
whether business improvement might
not have been discounted at least in
scattered instances.
A drop of 1874 per cent in aggre-
gate profits under the first three
months of 1885 was disclosed by the
first 10 reporting manufacturers of
automobile parts. The recession was
attributed partly to the fact that a
few motor car makers haves installed

ALEXANDRIA, Va, May. IS.
Alexandrians living In houses
renting for $40 per month or less
will have to continue their sponge
baths as far as the city council is
concerned.
A plumbing ordinance recently
adopted would have ordered In
stallation Of baths or showers in
all houses in the city, but for an
amendment which Is expected to
be added to the ordinance at q
special meeting Of the council
Tuesday.
This amendment, sought by
owners of small houses that bring
little rents, will exempt all houses
not renting for more than $40
from the mandatory provisions Of
baths or showers.
Protests Of the many property
owners was led by Thomas L.
Carter, real estate agent, who told
city council that such provisions
necessarily would increase the
rents on many small properties.
After a lengthy discussion last
night, the city fathers decided to
hold the matter over until the
special session Tuesday, but in
structed City Attorney Carl Bud
