Senate amends chain store tax bill and votes on liquor convention
Senate sent back the chain store tax bill to committee after Senator Henderson urged Governor Kump be given a chance to study it. A House clash centered on McClintic’s amendments to convert a game fish and forestry bill into a conservation measure with parks and a publicity division, all rejected. The Senate passed a repeal resolution for the state amendment by 26 to 3. A state report convention plan took shape with a June 27 delegate election and a July convention, proposing unpledged delegates to satisfy a Supreme Court view that the convention be a deliberative body. The Senate also gave sweeping authority to regulate liquor, contrasting with the House’s prohibition on distilled liquor sales.
