Federal taxes on wine and beer
remain at 1951 levels, although
the tax on liquor was raised in
1951 and again in 1985. While ne-
gotiators have not said exactly
how it will be done, they have
agreed to tax drinkers an extra
$13.6 billion over the next five
years.
The plan is expected to in-
crease taxes somewhat less than
an earlier proposal, which, for ex-
ample, would have raised the
$1.96 tax on a fifth of 80-proof
vodka to $2.54; the 16-cent tax on
a six-pack of beer to 81 cents and
the 3-cent levy on a 750-milliliter
bottle of table wine to 76 cents.

proposal would redefine luxuries
to accommodate the electronics
age and, presumably, the wom-
en's movement, since no one has
dared suggest a new tax on
cosmetics.
Specifically, the plan would
raise $9 billion over the next five
years by imposing a 10 percent
levy on part of the cost of certain
luxuries. The tax would apply
only to the portion of the pur-
chase price that exceeds $30,000
for cars and boats; $1,000 for
electronics; $5,000 for jewelry,
and $500 for furs. The tax would
hit private planes under 5,000
pounds regardless of price.

“I think there are two factors at
play.
“One is our voters have heard
from the media elite, the political
elite and business elite that in-
cumbents are wrong for so long
that they are starting to believe
it,” Copeland said.
“Also, it is fresh faces that
make the news,” he said.

officials say they are worried the
oil-laden vessels might head for
nearby Iranian waters and unload
the oil to be sold through Iran.
“So far we have no indications
of Iraqi tankers in Iranian wa-
ters,” said State Department
spokeswoman Margaret Tutwiler.
“We would expect Iran would
take appropriate measures to pre-
vent circumvention of the embar-
go in their territorial waters,”
Tutwiler said.
The CIA estimates that the na-
val blockade by the United States
and its allies has stopped most of
Iraq’s oil shipments.
The small amount of oil that
escapes the naval blockade goes
mostly to neighboring Jordan, of-

“Four years later, people who
would not normally be elected
were elected under easy circum-
stances,” Copeland said.
He said this “backlash” against
incumbents has continued into
the 1990s.
“The most extreme example of
this anti-incumbency is the pas-
sage of the state question to limit
legislators’ terms to 12 years,”
Copeland said.
cials say.
Jordan, which had been getting
oil from Iraq at cut-rate prices,
will be unable to buy much of it
elsewhere unless it gets a large
infusion of foreign aid, say the
officials.
U.S. officials say they are con-
sidering how best to help Jordan,
which has also been inundated
with thousands of refugees from
Kuwait.

The tax on a pack of cigarettes
would rise by 4 cents, to 20 cents,
next year and by an additional 4
cents in 1993. This would cost
smokers $5.9 billion over five
years.
The tobacco tax was raised
from 7 cents to 8 cents in 1951
and staved at that level until it
was doubled in 1983. Republicans
especially are wary of raising this
tax this year because two GOP
senators from tobacco states -
Jesse Helms of North Carolina
and Mitch McConnell of Ken-
tucky - are in tight re-election

could result in ‘lame-duck legislators

One death case was closed this
year, along with 21 other cases.
The city opened 18 workers’ com-
pensation cases.
“The death case was Merle Gill
vs. the City of Norman. He (Gill)
had a stroke in 1985 and the case
was tried in workers’ compensa-
tion court. They denied him the
case, but it was appealed,” Bryant
said.
He said Gill died during the
appeals process, so the workers
compensation claim turned into a
death case.

“The officer will help in imple-

Bryant said the city uses a
“common-sense” approach to
safety.
“Workers use safety vests, pro-

for whatever piece of equipment
they are using,” he said.
Fuchs said if a worker is in-

to get medical attention for that
