Nyberg Proposes to Extend Sales Tax to Beer
LITTLE ROCK A plan by Nyberg of Phillips county would re enact a 2 percent sales tax, extend it to include beer, and lower the collection bracket to 9 cents to capture dime purchases. Revenue would rise about 2 million dollars annually with receipts routed to pre paid retailer methods and a sanatorium building fund after the monthly total for 1938. Nyberg criticized the current system as inadequate while urging a better method. Senate action includes a broad revamp of hunting laws by Shadter Steels of Nashville, affecting licenses, game taxes, bullfrog seasons, and rabbit bag limits.
