Beer Dealer Fights
County Beer Tax
In Circuit Court
Raney Challenges Right Of
Liquor Control Board To
Impose Levy Under State
Law

Eugene ]. C. Raney, Kensington
beer distributor, this week advised the
county liquor control board that he
would continue to pay the beer hand
ling tax of 10 cents case and 81 a
barrel pending adjustment of his suit
against the county liquor board chal-
longing their right to collect the tax.
The letter from Mr.. Raney, how
ever, said the tax would be paid under
protest, indicating that if his suit
against the county is successful, the
beer dealer may take action to recover
the tax already paid.
Receipt of the letter from Raney
agreeing to pay the tax set at rest
rumors that he would defy the liquor
board and continue to sell beer with
out paying the tax, which would have
forced showdown on the question
Immediately.
Raney filed suit early last week
against the liquor control board chal-
longing their right to collect the beer
handling tax. Shortly thereafter
Raney voluntarily relinquished his
Class "a" county beer tax, and an
nounced he would rely solely on his
state beer tax which also licenses him
as an importer.
The beer importation clause in the
State license is the keystone of the
present beer fight. The county liquor
control board has been levying the
beer handling tax under authority of
the law which gives it sole control
over the sale of alcoholic beverages in
Montgomery county.
The beer dealers declare, however,
that passage of the state license act
by the last legislative assembly repeats
the county act, and that the county
beer dealers can operate solely under
the State authorization. If that is the
case, the importation clause would
permit a beer dealer to bring beer
into Montgomery County from Wash
ington or any other out-of-county
area and automatically avoid the
county beer handling tax.
Raney's agreement to pay the tax
pending settlement of his suit, while
temporarily quieting the issue, does
not settle the controversy. Now at
stake is the right of the county to
collect some $4,000 from county beer
business which represents more than
2 cents on the county tax rate.
The local beer handling tax is con-
siderably less than the tax fixed on
the beer business in Virginia where
the State Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board fixes a tax of one-cent on each
glass or bottle of beer sold.
The county liquor control board, it
is understood, has authority to impose
a similar tax in Montgomery County
If it so desires. 1t has been indicated
that the tax has not heretofore been
imposed because it would have the
effect of either taxing the consumer
OF the numerous retailers of beer
throughout the county. The theory of
the beer handling tax that has been
collected here since 1898 is that it
would be paid by the distributor and
would not be a burden on the ultimate
consumer or the small retailer.
