Outlay for Drinking
In 1914 Estimated
Al 7,OOO,0OO,OOO

| By the Associated Press.
Government economists said to-
day the record breaking spending
Of $1,000, 900 10000 for alcoholic bev-
erages in 1914 is convincing evi-
dence that income taxes are not too
high.
They said unofficially this shows
that wartime income tax rates have
not had the effect of holding down
consumer spending-and they hint
ed it shows that the total economy
might be helped if the tax rates
were higher.
This Interpretation of the eco
nomic significance of liquor buying
was only one of the reactions to the
estimates of the Commerce Depart
ment, announced yesterday, that
Americans spent more than $7,000.-
900 900 for spirits, beer and wine last
year.
The estimate is 81 900 ,000, 900 above
such spending in 1943. More than
half of the increase was due to
higher excise taxes, but the actual
quantity of distilled spirits consumed
was greater than in 1943 and beer
drinking reached an all-time high.
Church, temperance and anti
saloon organizations made ready to
use the new figures in their cam
paigns.
Distilleries, which have devoted
most of the last two years to max
ing alcohol for war purposes, were
hoping to put even more whisky on
retailers shelves in 1945. They were
given permission to make beverage
alcohol last August and again this
month.
The public still could not get all
the whisky it wanted in 1914 The
|continuing-though easing-whisky
shortage is believed to be one rea-
son a new record was set for beer
consumption.
