The legally-regulated beer
industry pays nearly 81 mil
lion a year in Mississippi
taxes nowadays. Last year,
1t paid nearly one-fourth the
amount needed to sustain
Homestead Exemption, and
provided a substantial source
of funds for Old Age pensions,
school and rural road pro-
grams, and other necessary
government functions.
There is ample evidence of
increased public acceptance
of beer as the light, bright
beverage of moderation. For
instance, beer sales in food
stores are third largest among
all beverages exceeded
only by milk and coffee.
Increased sales could mean
greater tax yields in Missis-
slppi. Probably because our
malt beverage taxes are
among the very highest in the
nation, such increases have
not developed.
