No Meet to Be Held Without Legislature Action in Arkansas
Governor Futrell warned that the Hot Springs horse race meeting on February 22 will not occur unless a bill to legalize pari mutuel betting passes both houses. He proposed a daily $4,000 tax on racing and empowers revenue officials to halt races until paid. Senate temperance actions favor private liquor sales. lawmakers return Dillon’s package store bill with amendments and consider Evans’ state-owned liquor store proposal. The Rev. Arden Blaylock opposed legalization, accusing Futrell of reversing his stance on liquor and gambling.
