Arkansas liquor question sparks school funding debate
A fragmented opinion piece argues for a state liquor dispensary in Arkansas to fund public schools. It claims state control could raise about 12 to 13 million dollars annually, benefiting education, while criticizing dry counties and urging voters to consider public finances over sentiment. The author cites Alabama North Carolina and Virginia as examples of state run systems. The piece attacks county abstinence as shifting burdens and asserts teachers' pay and schooling depend on liquor policy.
