Held Stocking Up
Against Dry Day
Py the Associated Press

| Fy the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Sept. 9. - Mary
landers may be building up private
stocks of liquor against dry day
of liquor rationing or higher prices
That, at least, is one supposition
Controller Joseph O'C. McCusker
advances to explain the reason for
the climb in the States liquor-tax
receipts. Gross tax receipts last
month were S620,597, against S444.-
779 in August, 1941.
We can only guess at the reason
llquor-taX receipts are climbing, but
We don't believe the increased busi-
ness they reflect represents current
consumption" Mr.. McCusker said.
Last spring tax receipts were
falling. But matters are different
now; conditions are not normal A
tax bill providing a 50 increase in
the levy on liquor is pending in
Washington, and there is some pros
pect that liquors may be rationed
for consumption, or that the Federal
Government may stop their manu-
facture altogether. So we believe
the consuming public is stocking up.
Perhaps the retailers also are adding
to their stocks"
Some retailers, however, said thev
think the gain in population in
Maryland is responsible for the in
creased consumption.
