Fordney Says Revenue Tax Will Meet Lost Beer Revenue
Washington lawmakers debated ways to cover revenue losses from beer ban and national prohibition. Representative Fordney argued the $8,000,000,000 revenue bill already raised about $4.5 billion and could gain another $1 billion, making further taxes unnecessary. He urged duties on coffee, tea, and sugar and a 1 percent gross sales tax, claiming it would raise up to $2 billion with little consumer hardship. Fordney criticized the estate tax as too high, noting potential 80 percent burdens after existing state taxes.
