Compromise Road Fund Split Is Challenged
A pair of bills in Arkansas challenge the compromise to reallocate highway funds, risking a shift of power between county judges and the Arkansas Municipal League. One measure would add 14 million dollars to counties from the State Highway Department, while another would raise the gasoline tax and divert proceeds to counties. The plans modify the 75 15 10 revenue formula and repeal the auto license fee, with effects set for 95H and tied to a road usage proposal from J B Lambert.

Sales Tax on Liquor Upheld in Senate
The state Senate rejected a proposal to remove the 3 percent excise tax on liquor. Senator Milun of Harrigan’s district argued the tax benefits his constituents, with a 10 to 1 vote in favor of keeping the levy. The measure would have reduced the net loss in November. A separate House bill defining $55 as the basis for old age welfare payments passed unanimously.

No Teacher Hike This Year Says Faubus
Gov Orval Faubus says he will fund teacher salary increases only if both houses pass the measure, but he cannot approve the bill now as it would cut into new tax money for a proposed 6 million dollar construction fund and hinder a cushion for raises next September. He noted 22 million in annual state taxes and 14 million for public schools, with boosts deferred until the next school year. Sen Roy Milum Harrison proposed a one million dollar supplemental appropriation to raise salaries by more than 75 dollars per teacher, a plan Faubus opposed at the news conference.
