from drinking and empty your wallet chances are youre right CrossCanada Survey by The Canadian Press looking at wine and liquor prices found most governments set prices to increase revenue and dis courage drinking But while government reve nue figures indicate success in reaching the first goal the growing number of alcoholics suggests the provinces have long way to go toward the sec ond However the provinces are not alone in controlling the price and therefore the amount of alcohol consumed by Cana dians The federal government has two levies which take chunk of the drinkers dollar The first is excise duty on liquor wine and beer There also is fed eral sales tax of 12 per cent on the value of the product An official with the federal fi nance department said the levies serve dual role to de ter consumption and provide revenues This is an economic policy going back to the days of the Romans ASKS Wilt DECIDES ln Ontario following two re cent increases one due to tax increases in an April budget and the second to pass on higher production costs leg islative committee asked the head of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario who decides when prices should go up William Bosworth board chairman blamed his political masters He said the treasurer sets prices as high as necessary to gain the amount of revenue he wants And the business is profitable In 1978 the Ontario board had gross income of $428 million arid turned profit of $333 million Board officials said that on an imported bottlc of spirits the board adds up the distillers price freight and insurance the federal levies and sales tax to get its basic price It then marks up the price by about 100 per cent and adds provincial sales tax of it per cent to get the selling price The factors affecting produc tion costs are even more con fusing The devalued Canadian dollar has raised the price of all foreign products and inflation and variable weather add to the problems AVERAGE PRICE RISES ln Quebec spokesman
