Federal Dispensary Plan of Action in Doner Colorado
Dr F W Buck travels with associates to advocate The Federal Dispensary Tax Reduction League. They seek federal and state legislation to end bootlegging, oppose saloon returns, expand penalties under the Volstead Act, push a federal licensing tax plan with revenue sharing, and support an amendment permitting home production and sale of wines beers and liquors. The effort is nonpartisan and nonsectarian.
