State liquor dispensary proposal eyed by Arkansas fair group
AP dispatch from Blytheville reports Arkansas Fair Managers association will push for a state owned liquor dispensary. The Star endorses the plan.

Arkansas hopes to boost public funds by replacing private liquor dealers with a state system, potentially generating over 10 million dollars annually for schools and welfare. The piece criticizes current taxes and argues for a modern public dispensation.
