Kansas stores paying tax on malt and liquor stamps despite dry state
Wichita dated dispatch notes Kansas, long dry and slow to repeal prohibition, has paid 32590 to the collector of internal revenue for malt beverage and liquor stamps to date with expectations of higher totals by July 31. The funds come from 65 malt beverage wholesalers and 1297 retailers and 1 liquor wholesaler and 132 retailers. Stamps cost 50 and 20 dollars for malt, 100 and 25 dollars for liquor. Officials puzzled why hard liquor dealers would buy stamps in a state with no legal sale until 1987, and warned that possessing liquor stock risks further state law violations even if federal taxes are paid.

Tax Brief Filed Late For Baldwin Fraternities
Four Lawrence Greek letter organizations seek reduced valuations before the State Tax Commission in Topeka. A. B. Mitchell said he needed a few more affidavits to complete the brief for Chi Omega Sigma Chi Phi Gamma Delta and Sigma Alpha Epsilon. The Theta Tau Alpha and Phi Mu Baker cases were decided quickly but not to the fraternities. The commission ruled the Baldwin appeal was untimely as filed 2-3 days ago after a May 31 county decision. Some valuations were lowered, others denied, and a few cases adjourned.
