State Legislature Debates Liquor Fees and Highway Funding
The draft state supply bill proposes amending liquor control laws to allow medical liquor provisions under a national act. It would require prescriptions filed with the State Tax Commission, licenses expiring December 1, fifty cent taxes per prescription, and license revocation for noncompliance.

Other bills seek higher revenue from insurance premiums and motor buses, plus biennial-session study. The week featured heavy legislative activity focused on killing measures and advancing a few fiscal bills.
