Beer Measure Passes House As 3.2 Percent Content Bill Advances
The House voted 250 to 165 to approve the Collier bill legalizing beer with 3.2 percent alcohol by weight, sending it to the Senate. Supporters expect action before January ends and anticipate possible veto battles over repeal of the Eighteenth Amendment. The measure would raise an estimated 200 to 300 million dollars in federal revenue and imposes a 5 dollar per barrel tax, with higher occupational taxes for brewers, while continuing protections for dry states against transport of intoxicants.
