OFFICIAL EXPLAINS LAW
REGARDING BEER AND WINE
(Anchorage Times)
E. M. Pulley, tax clerk employed in
the office of the Tentorial Treasurer,
arrived in Anchorage on last Satur
day’s train. Mr. Pulley’s mission in
Anchorage is primarily for the pur
pose of explaining the “beer law,”
and he states he wishes it understood
that he is not here to citicise or de
fend the law, but only desires to have
Everyone understand some of its an
gles in the same way all over Alaska.
Certain sections of the beer law
have caused a little controversy in
some communities as to just what
they were intended to cover, and tifr.
Polley is informing all those licensed
to sell, he stated, as follows:
What is the difference between a
“wholesale license” and a “retailer’s
license”? That was one of the first
questions presented to the Attorney
General for interpretation, and he
has advised the Governor of Alaska
“that it is the opinion of this office
that the wholesale dealer must sell
to licensed dealers only and the retail
dealer must sell .to the public trade
and not to licensed dealers, otherwise
the retailer would become a wholesale
deaer in violation of the plain pro
visions of the law providing for the
licensing of the two classes of deal
ers,” In other words, the wholesale
dealer sells to other persons for re
sale, and he is prohibited fom selling
direct to the consumer, and the retail
dealer is prohibited from. selling to
anyone who is not a consumer. In
any event he can not sell to another
( person who is licensed under this law
and who would be purchasing for re
sale. This means, says Mr. Polley,
that a grocery store must refuse to
sell beer to restaurant where it would
be finally sold to the consumer.
A restaurant license will allow the
holder thereof, continues Mr. Polley, j
the right to sell beer which must be i
consumed on the premises where sold
asd it cannot be sold without food. If
Beer is consumed in a restaurant
without food it is done in violation of |
a restaurant privilege and is being
sold under the privilege of a “bever- '
age dispensary” license. One person
cal hold as many licenses to sell beer
as he desires, and a retailer can sell
to a consumer in any quantity.
Any person purchasiny beer in a I
place licensed to retail beer, explains j
Mr. Polley, cannot drink it on the j
premises and any person purchasing
beer in a place licensed as a beverage
dispensary must drink it on the prem
ises.
The consumer can best understand
the apparent confusion which the
foregoing paragraph causes, says the
speaker, if he will remember that the
only place where he can purchase
beer which he desires to consume
away from the. {dace where it is pur
chased is in a. place licensed to retail
beer. All other places are prohibited
from selling if it is not to be con
sumed on the premises.
In addition to the license feature of
the beer aw, says Mr. Poley, there is

an import or manufacturer’s tax im
posed on beer and wine. While the
iaw is commonly referred to as the
“beer law,” it is intended to cover the
trafficking in legal beer and wine, and
when beer has only been referred to
it is intended to include wine except
in matter of a beverage dispensary
license. Beverage dispensaries are
permitted to sell beer only, either
draught or bottled, and are not al
lowed to sell wine.
The tax imposed is one-half cent
per trade pint, one cent per trade
quart, and $1.55 per barrel (31 U. S.
standard gallons), or five cents per
gallon. If the beer, or win^, is man- |
ufactured in Alaska, the person or!
firm manufacturing must pay the tax j
direct to the Treasurer of Alaska and
must make a return on or before the
10th of each made, which is made
under oath and pay the tax on the
tota (amount of beer or wine manu
factured during the previous calendar
month.
Any person or firm who imports
beer or wine, either from some place
in the United States or Canada, must
make a sworn return and send it to
the Treasurer of Alaska on or before
the tenth of every month and pay the
tax called for on the total amount im
ported during the previous calendar
month.
An import tax will he demanded
from the person or firm in whose
name the beer or wine is shipped in
order that duplicate payments of the
tax may be avoided.
M. Polley wishes it understood by
all concerned that the law provides *
penalty for any violation o fthe sec
tion which prohibits the selling of
beer or wine t oany person less than
eighteen years of age, unless such
person is accompanied by a parent or
legal guardian.
Mr. Pcdley believes that the com
plete cooperation of the consumer
will permit dealers to conduct the
business for which the yare licensed
with less friction, and it is for that
purpose, he states, that he is in An
chorage at this time.
