Iowa Liquor By The Drink Bill Faces House Doubts
Rep. Riley Dietz a leading advocate doubts the 1963 Iowa Legislature will pass the liquor by the drink measure. He says passage hinges on a slim House margin, with Senate approval likely if it clears the House. The bill would legalize liquor by the drink in all counties with local option via elections and impose a 10 percent sales tax to fund schools. License fees would fund the Liquor Control Commission and taverns would pay up to 1000 dollars for licenses. Liquor would be bought only from state stores, and city and county officials would issue licenses and cap numbers.
