D. Haskell, Laurel, Nebraska, farmer and vice-president of the Nebras ka Federation of County Taxpayers Leagues, mem ber of the Committee of Men and Women Against Prohibition, was given to the newspapers of the state ^September 14, 1944: # Every branch of state and local government prob ably would suffer if we remove the alcoholic beverage industry* from the tax rolls. Tax authorities estimate that Nebraska collects about $3,500,000 annually from beer and liquors in state, county and local taxes and fees. Not only would the state lose this annual revenue, which would have to be made up from other sources, but additional hundreds of thousands of dollars would be needed to set up and maintain some kind of enforce ment organization throughout the state. Government costs in every county, village and city would probably; be increased. The state liquor tax paid $2,216,173.26 for Old Age Assistance and other functions of the State Assistance Department in the fiscal year 1942*1943. I know the people would not want to do away with state assist ance, so this revenue would have to be replaced, which’ would mean an increased property tax or some new. form of tax, such as a sales tax or income tax. Many people do not realize the importance of the liquor tax revenues to the state. Many of us forget that the Federal Government matches the spirituous beverage taxes used for old age assistance, which means that the actual loss to Nebraska would run around $4,500,000 if the tax were not replaced. It would have to be replaced, no question about it. And this means higher taxes, new taxes for everyone. Another thing few people realize: County, city and other governmental subdivisions of the state also col lect large amounts of revenue from the industry, in addition to the direct beverage tax collected by the state government. Approximately $500,000 yearly is paid to counties and cities in license fees and occupa tional taxes bv retail dealers. To all of these revenues must be added real estate, personal and miscellaneous taxes paid by brewers, distributors, dealers, etc. This makes a total in the neighborhood of $3,500,000 a year. This is not “pin money.” It’s big money to me, anyway. I do not believe the people of Nebraska want to deliberately vote a big increase in general taxes on themselves. But that is just what they will be doing if they go back to prohibition in November. History plainly shows prohibition is not enforceable and doesn’t prohibit anyway, and would require hundreds of thousands of dollars to make even a show at enforcement.
