THE Kentucky legls-
lature, states the Louis
vile Courier-J journal,
has received a measure
proposing to raise the
excise tax on distilled
spirits from Is to IS
cents a pint. Excise taxes
are reflected instantly in
retail prices, and it is
of some importance to
know if an increase of
five cents a quart IN re-
tail prices might further
encourage bootlegglng
andmoonshining,which
already cut deeply into
the sales of legitimate,
tax-paying distillers. 1t
is our impression, more
over, that the present ex-
else taxis high enough"
What is bad for Ken
lucky is bad for Mary
land where the excise
tax is II cents a gallon
more than in Kentucky.
