Missouri beer tax law upheld by supreme court ruling
The Missouri Supreme Court upholds the 1609 beer inspection law as constitutional. The divided court, with Judges Brace, Gantt, Marshall, and Valliant concurring, rejects challenges alleging home product discrimination and improper enactment. The act imposes eight cents per barrel tax on beer made or sold in state, free inspection for beer shipped out of state, and is seen as a police regulation enabling potential prohibition if desired. Revenue is projected at about $600,000 annually.

Reports mention Indian trouble with the Sacs and Foxes and a protest to Washington over agent interference with tribal marriages. A Knoxville jury convicted John Davis of murder tied to a Weir City dispute, while scarlet fever concerns hit LeMars and Grinnell. Accidents include a major derailment near Comanche and a Clinton head-on collision injuring two. Capt Burton, former head of Osyyns and veteran of the Philippines campaign, died at Lake last week.
