Lattimore Sees Bone Dry Proviso in State Law
Oklahoma official Sam Lattimore announced the last legislature reenacted a federal aid clause allowing import of alcohol under a bone dry provision. He notes the provision, once a sleeper in the 1947 beer tax act, reemerged in a House Bill on alcohol and sacramental wine imports. He recalls drafting a model bill in 1947 and warns the act seeks a permit system and federal protection for two decades. The report cites legislative figures such as James Clarence, Leonie Brown, Gene Stipe, and Roy J. Turner.
