A Chicago dispatch reviews a 1947 National Beer Wholesalers Association survey on beer taxes and consumption. Keeley notes low taxes align with high per capita use in ten states, while high taxes align with low consumption. Wisconsin shows 29.1 gallons with $1.00 tax per barrel, Alabama 4.7 gallons with $3.30 tax. The study suggests taxation may curb consumption, serving a temperance role.
