Group Aims to Legalize Liquor by the Drink in Kansas
Kansas group KMABC plans a news conference to push a constitutional amendment to legalize liquor by the drink in restaurants in 1974. The proposal would allow local option by township, impose a 4 percent tax on mixed drinks, and fees from 500 to 1200 dollars, funding school finance. Kansas voters rejected a similar 1970 liquor by the drink amendment.
