Dole tariff plan risks gasohol market and imports
The Hays Daily News notes Senator Bob Dole proposed a 10 cent per gallon tariff on alcohol imports in 1981 to shield a domestic gasohol industry. Treasury warns the move would curb competition, hurt consumers, and benefit Archer-Daniels-Miamond, whose ADM accounts for 80 percent of alcohol fuel. ADM's Iowa plant expansion could boost distilling capacity as tariffs rise.
