American Tobacco Co Will Fight Cigarette Tax Law
The new cigarette tax law takes effect Friday requiring licenses costing 3800 annually with a real estate lien on the business property. The American Tobacco Company plans a test case to challenge the law, citing a prior unconstitutional finding on prohibition as precedent, while dealers fear widespread license denial across the state. An action to disbar Sioux City lawyer T B Murphy arises from alleged note collections dating to 1892, with Murphy promising a full defense. Frank Rivers shot Nelson McDonough at a Cook Township party after a dispute over a referee's ruling, then fled on a bicycle. The Sons of Veterans in southwestern Iowa held their annual encampment in Creston with about 400 attendees over three days. Mrs Ross of Cedar Rapids died after a lamps explosion injuries.
