Springtime at Hope Post Office Signals Tax Debate
In Hope Hempstead County Senator F C Crow introduces a bill in the Arkansas Senate to levy a 25 cent per gallon tax on whisky to fund livestock shows. Critics call it a misrepresentation and a public morality issue, noting the dry area's opposition to liquor and questioning revenue needs. The bill stalls in the House, amid broader chatter about state control of liquor and ABC systems as revenue sources. Alabama’s ABC profits are cited as a comparison.
