  • July 29, 2013 Alcohol Policy in Wisconsin History
    July 29, 2013 Alcohol Policy in Wisconsin History No single aspect of Wisconsin’s history, regulatory system or ethnic composition is responsible for our alcohol environment. Many statements about Wisconsin carry the implicit assumption that our destructive alcohol environment (sometimes called the alcohol culture) has always been present and like Wisconsin’s geographic features it is unchanging and unchangeable. This timeline offers an alternative picture of Wisconsin’s past. Today’s alcohol environment is very different from early Wisconsin where an active temperance movement existed before commercial brewing. Few people realize that many Wisconsin communities voted themselves “dry” before Prohibition. While some of those early policies are impractical and even quaint by modern standards, they suggest our current alcohol environment evolved over time. The policies and practices that unintentionally result in alcohol misuse are not historical treasures but simply ideas that may have outlived their usefulness. This timeline includes some historical events unrelated to Wisconsin to place state history within the larger context of American history. This document does not include significant events relating to alcohol production in Wisconsin. Beer production, as well as malt and yeast making were important aspects of Wisconsin’s, especially Milwaukee’s, history. But Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance, its late President, Edmund Fitzgerald, industrial giant Allis Chalmers, shipbuilding and the timber industry have all contributed to Wisconsin’s history. Adding only the brewing industry to this time-line would distort brewing’s importance to Wisconsin and diminishes the many contributions made by other industries. Alcohol Policy in Wisconsin History 1776: Benjamin Rush, a physician and signer of the Declaration of Independence, is considered America’s first temperance leader.

  • Carry A. Nation Hatchet Brooch Catalog #: 1975.1.80 Donor: Marjorie Bryant
    Donation of the Month Object: Carry A. Nation Hatchet Brooch Catalog #: 1975.1.80 Donor: Marjorie Bryant Legend has it that in May 1881 the first business to open up shop in the newly founded town of Rogers was a saloon. Even though it only consisted of a couple of jugs of homebrew sitting on the back of a wagon, the new business was sure to have pleased some and dismayed others. Over a century later alcohol is still a hot topic in Benton County as leaders, business owners, churches, and residents debate the wet/dry issue. Should the county remain “dry” and continue to prohibit the sale of alcohol except in private clubs or should it go “wet” and allow liquor stores to open up shop? The late 19th and early 20th centuries were troubled times. Laws weren’t enforced, corruption was epidemic, and there were few social services for addicts or the poor. Women became reformers because of their perceived societal roles as moral guardians and defenders of the home and family. Female activists used speeches and demonstrations to educate the public and encourage male lawmakers to legislate morality at a time when women didn’t yet have the right to vote or serve in public office. Carry Amelia Moore Gloyd Nation (1846-1911) was one such reformer. Born in Kentucky and raised in Missouri, in 1865 she met and married Dr. Charles Gloyd, a medical practitioner and school teacher. His love of drink, picked up during times spent idle in Civil War camps and continued during social activities with the Masons, caused a rift in their marriage.

  • On the Study of Governor's
    Governor’s Task Force on the study of Kentucky’s Alcoholic Beverage Control laws Governor’s Task Force on the Study of Kentucky’s Alcoholic Beverage Control Laws EXECUTIVE SUMMARY ollowing the repeal of national Prohibition, Kentucky lawmakers Fenacted legislation governing the sale and licensing of alcoholic beverages in the Commonwealth. Over time, incremental changes were made, but only to address specific one-time issues. The result has been a patchwork of laws and regulations that are duplicative, outdated and cumbersome to administer. In July 2012, Governor Steve Beshear appointed a 22-member task force to look at this issue. Those members included legislators from both houses of the General Assembly, industry representatives and other groups that deal “Many groups, including each day with alcoholic beverage control issues across the Commonwealth. licensees, state regula- Primarily, the task force was to address three areas of concern—licensing, tors, law enforcement local option elections and public safety. and private citizens have called for statutory Public Protection Cabinet Secretary Robert Vance was appointed to chair reform.

  • Infant Mortality and the Repeal of Federal Prohibition* Running Title: Infant Mortality and Repeal
    Infant Mortality and the Repeal of Federal Prohibition* Running title: Infant Mortality and Repeal David S. Jacks Krishna Pendakur Hitoshi Shigeoka September 2020 Abstract: Using new data on county-level variation in alcohol prohibition from 1933 to 1939, we investigate whether the repeal of federal prohibition increased infant mortality, both in counties and states that repealed and in neighboring counties. We find that repeal is associated with a 4.0% increase in infant mortality rates in counties that chose wet status via local option elections or state-wide legislation and with a 4.7% increase in neighboring dry counties, suggesting a large role for cross-border policy externalities. These estimates imply that roughly 27,000 excess infant deaths could be attributed to the repeal of federal prohibition in this period.

It has been accepted for inclusion in Tampa Bay History by an authorized editor of Scholar Commons. For more information, please contact [email protected]. Alduino: Prohibition in Tampa PROHIBITION IN TAMPA by Frank Alduino Tampa in 1880 was a sleepy southern town of 720 people. By 1920, however, it was transformed into a modem thriving city with a population of over 50,000.1 Despite its rapid growth and the influx of outsiders, Tampa retained its predominantly southern norms and morals. Nowhere was this adherence to tradition more evident than in the city's acceptance of the prohibition of alcohol after World War I. But Tampa's cultivation of the tourist trade, physical accessibility to rumrunners, and civic corruption combined to make this southern boom town leak like a sieve in the 1920s. The prohibition of alcohol was an attempt by reformers to legislate morality and impose sobriety upon the citizenry of the nation.2 The movement against demon rum was led by various temperance organizations and fundamentalist Protestant churches. Locally, these groups exerted considerable political pressure on Tampa’s state representatives to outlaw the sale and consumption of intoxicating beverages.

  • Harm Reduction and Sin Taxes
    Harm Reduction and Sin Taxes: Why Gary Becker is Wrong Dr. Mark Thornton Senior Fellow Ludwig von Mises Institute 518 West Magnolia Avenue Auburn, AL 36832-4528 334-321-2106 Fax=321-2119 [email protected] Comments are welcome. Please do not quote without permission. Harm Reduction and Sin Taxes: Why Gary Becker is Wrong1 I. Introduction Much progress has been made in public opinion regarding drug prohibition. The policy has been an utter failure, very expensive, and increasingly disliked by people around the world. As a result several states have passed drug reform legislation that reduces penalties for the production, distribution, and consumption of previously prohibited substances such as narcotics and marijuana. Other states have placed more resources in drug treatment programs (demand reduction) instead of drug interdiction efforts (supply reduction). In North America, several states in the US and Canada have passed medical marijuana legislation to take advantage of the well-known medical benefits of marijuana.2 The advocates of drug policy reform generally promote the idea of “harm reduction.” This approach to reform rightly sees prohibition as a failed and highly destructive policy. Their “harm reduction” approach involves removing some elements of prohibition and replacing them with a variety of other policies, with the goal of reducing both the harm of drug prohibition and drug abuse. Their proposals typically include such measures as anti-drug education in the public schools; public service announcements warning against drug use; subsidies for drug treatment; drug maintenance and substitution programs (e.g. methadone); regulations on production, distribution, and consumption; restrictions on selling to minors; commercial zoning restrictions; 1 The author would like to thank Paul Wicks, Chris Peros-Tanaka and Jeffrey Tucker for helpful comments and suggestions 2 Piper et al (2003).

Executive Summary The academic literature on the topic of legal alcohol sales is vast; from the effects on crime to population health outcomes. The economic development impact of alcohol sales, however, remains relatively unexplored. This research examines county-level data from the State of Arkansas between the years 2009 and 2014 in a cross-sectional time- series regression analysis to determine whether economic development benefits exist that can be attributed either directly or indirectly to legal alcohol sales. Ultimately, this study finds that alcohol sales are positively and significantly related with food service and accommodation employment as well as higher per capita personal income. II. Introduction For most Americans, the thought of not being able to buy alcohol where they live is a foreign concept as the vast majority of American counties fully allow the sale of alcoholic beverages. Many states do not even allow counties to have the option to regulate or completely prohibit alcohol sales at all. Of the states that do allow counties to have a say in the matter, counties are generally considered wet if alcohol sales are permitted, dry if alcohol sales are prohibited, and moist if alcohol sales are permitted with some exceptions.

  • Inmate Information Handbook Federal Bureau of Prisons
    MCFP Springfield, MO Inmate Information Handbook Federal Bureau of Prisons Introduction The purpose of this handbook is to provide newly committed inmates and others interested in the Federal Bureau of Prisons with general information regarding the Bureau, its programs, institutions, and the rules and regulations they will encounter during confinement. It is not a specific guide to the detailed policies of the Bureau or all procedures in effect at each Bureau location. The U.S. Medical Center for Federal Prisoners (USMCFP) is temporarily your community. What kind of community it is depends on you! If you and every other inmate take the proper attitude toward each other and the staff, you can be assured you will not encounter any problems while you are here. Conduct yourself in such a way as to not interfere with the rights of other inmates. If you have a proper regard for the staff, you will be able to work with them instead of against them. Also, remember the accepted rules of good conduct, good manners, common sense (in other words, the Golden Rule), do not possess any contraband, and you will not have any difficulty. This booklet contains general information procedures and regulations developed to help you become better acquainted with the operations of your new community. Many of the most frequently asked questions have been answered in this booklet. If you are concerned about something not covered, you are urged to ask any staff member. If they cannot help you, they will refer you to someone who can. You are encouraged to read this booklet and YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR KNOWING THE CONTENTS.
