TWENTY YEARS OF REPEAL MEANS TAX PROFIT FOR STATETwenty years of Repeal have been profitable to Illinois. Since the state authorized legal sale of liquor almost two decades ago, taxes and duties on distilled spirits have amounted to more than $256,794,000. This amount is exclusive of the federal excise tax of $10.50 per gallon. Illinois collected $17,021,108 in taxes on legal liquor in the latest calendar year, says Morris, and this year the state's 20,120 retail liquor outlets will contribute $201,507,000 to Illinois' economy through the annual payroll of their 54,324 employees. It is estimated the state's lisuor dealers will spend an additional $100,600,000 in Illinois this year for goods and services. Illinois voted to repeal the 18th Amendment on July 10, 1933, becoming the ninth state to da so. In December of the same year, after ratification by the necessary thirty-six states, the 21st Amendment became effective and ushered ih Repeal. In February of 1934 legal liqpor was, again in Illinqia, BUSIEST ? ctBtxttst WORKERS IN TOWN! PLAINDEALER WANT AOS <wwirN',gllfii RY PLAUfDEALEB UBS. H. D.
