36th Anniversary Of
Repeal of Prohibition
* On September 15, at one min-
ute post midnight, Texans ob-
served the 36th anniversary of
_ a landmark In Texas and nation-
al history. Repeal of Prohibi-
Loned ended 15 years of may-
hem, economic and moral de-
. gradation which had character-
ized the “noble experiment.”
The nation had learned that
there was no nobility in taking
away a man's intrinsic right
to Freedom of Choice. Not, at
feast, in this democracy.
By 15 minutes past midnight,
36 years ago, beer trucks were
rolling down streets in major
Texas cities amid wildly cheer-
ing thronngs of Texans who
lined the afreets. Deep in t h e
I throes
! Texans saw
as a sign of h; ppier times and
' healthier business.
The brewing industry’s reviv-
al breathed new life into a na-
ti<m’s limping economy. The
nation had suffered a long, dry
thirst for the frothy suits, a
thirst not to be quenched over-
night.
Glass factories, printers, truck
and tire makers were the first
to breathe this fresh air. Res-
taurants and hotels increased
their business greatly and even
the grocery' stores profited by
the new business in beer for
home consumption. Grain farm-
ers planted bigger crops as

beer’s demand for new raw
terlals Increased.
In the first 3 years rj legal
tieer, breweries around the na-
tion spent almost $100 million
on plants and equipment. $20
million was spent on advertis-
ing in 1034 alone. Last, but by
no means least, new taxes were
reaped by federal, state and lo-
cal governments. In the first
year of repeal, Uncle Sam ex-
pected to collect some $125 mil-
lion. By the time beer had
again established itself as a
staple in everyday life, it h a d i
given employment to millions
and put over a billion dollars
back into circulation.
The seven breweries now op-
erating in this state employ
thousands of Texans and repre-
sent one of the state's largest
industries.
Since Repeal, beer lias pro-
vided over $300 million in state
taxes which have gone to t h e
support of schools, teachers’ re-
tirement benefits, old age as-
sistance, tlie blind, road and
highway conetruction and other
civic, improvements.
Until recent years two-thirds
of all the beer consumed In Tex-
as came from tho great brew-
ing states to the north and east.

during July, contributing to the
welfar# anil progress of the
state’s industry, agricCiItuurc
and public services.
Beer pays tile highest tax of
any commodity produced in
fexaj. In addition to the prop-
erty taxes, income ■ taxes ad
valorem taxes, and other taxes
paid by all businesses, 51N of
what the Texas breweries get
for beer goes just to pay 1 w 0
taxes. $4.30 per barrel in Aus-
tin, and $9.00 in Washington for
state and federal excise taxes.
Ani because of toe “dry” in-
fluence still very evident in the
state, tills dIspn>jlortionate tax
burden shouldered by the brew-
eries In Texas seems destined
to grow even greater.
hTe six states that produce
more beer than Texas have an
average state excise tax of only
$1 34 per barrel. That’s $2.96
lose than Texas.
Perhaps tho economic ixxun
caused by Repeal started a tra-
ditional of looking first toward
J beer when new monies are need-
ed to meet the rising cost of
government. But this tradition
has been reinforced by the agi-
tation of the remaining ”drv”
element in the state. These
“drys” h /e managed to deny
109 counties in Texas of the legal
sale or purchase of beer. .
Interestingly, these counties
which have not legalized beer
sliare equally in the beer tax
benefits for their schools, teach-
ers, blind, aged, and needy cliil-
dren, wliich are derived from
the beer consumers In the 145
counties where the beverage is
legal. Further. 54% of all beer
taxes in Texas go directly to
support schools and teachers.
The early Germans wIk> began
to settle in South Texas in the
tnid-1840's had but one major
complaint about the hardships
of the frontier. There was no
beer.
Prince Carl, 'Prince of SoJms-
Rrminfels, who headed the set-
tlement of Now Braunfels, wrote
, that it wasn’t so much the hard
I work that got them down. Farm-
' era in Germany worked just as
hard. But at least in Germany,
I after h:s daily toil the farmer
could refresh himself In the eve-
ning with a "strengthening
drink of beer.” But at that
loud his cry.of
lie today if ly. were
to contemplate the fact that
i though the brewing of good beer
| is one tit- the state’s most im-
| portant industries, a great many
Texans cannot partake of the
! ix-nefits It offers
j Negation of the brew itself
would be enough to chagrin the
Prince, hut disregard of sound
i economic contribution* would
! be unpardonable.
