Government revenue trends show beer tax lift and tariff gains
In May final figures show miscellaneous internal revenue at 93.3 million, up sharply from 36 million in May 1932, with beer tax contributing a larger than expected monthly average. Customs duties rose in April and May 1934, totaling 20.5 million versus 18.0 million in 1932, aided by lower prices. Experts warn ad valorem duties fall with price declines, while imports likely grew in volume. Roosevelt cites economy through agency reorganization, aiming for 25 percent cuts in next year, though savings hinge on eliminating duplications.
