TAX Continued from Page 1 Although tin* increase in 5 cents per drink, the tax will lie bv the barrel. For a 3 J gallon barrel, the tax would equal about $16 53 Currently, beer distributors pav about $2 60 per barrel in taxes, said Gary Gibson, general man ager for General Distributing Int in Portland The new tax would be unfair, he said. Tlii:* distributors bad their federal taxes doubled in 1991, which caused the industry to lose 30,000 jobs. Gibson said. Wavin' we could get through this, hut small businesses won't." Gibson said. But Shibley said anyone engag ing in the manufacturing of "these drugs" should have to pay the tax. Shibley said. Some students do not think the new tax would be a goswt idea Kevin Williams a junior koci ology major said he would not support the tax If a person is a responsible drinker they should not be responsible for funding a drinker, he said Matthew Hoff man. a junior theater major agreed Mi gut reaction is that I would be paying for someone else'* problem,‘ said Hoffman "Although if I am drinking 1 am part of the problem ** Relax i a Faketty. a junior Eng lish major, di«>* not support a tax increase, but because the man ey would go to fund rehabilita tion programs, she said she could at least understand the need for the money, Shiblev also proposed an increase in privilege tax for high alcohol mailed beverage* “If you are going lo sell forti fied malted beverages then you are going to [xn an im lease." Shi blev said ‘ It's really a users fee ' Hoffman said there is a danger with adding a las to items such as beer "You could find a social evil for anything you buy,'' Hoffman said But one of the purposes of the tax is to make the alcohol harder to obtain Most stn*et alcoholics are addicted not through any olh er kind of alcohol but fortified wine, which contains more than H percent alcohol In volume, Shipley said No hearing date has been set for HH 2056 Shibley said she hopes to have the bill heard before the end of the session.
