Private sale fights and liquor bills dominate session
The house and senate debated package liquor measures amid a looming split with monopolists. A delinquent tax bill by Sen. Arthur P. Dugnan aimed to raise 10 million dollars in year one, but stalled on the house calendar. Beer license cuts to 50 dollars a year and half-rate for on premises sales were approved by the liquor traffic committee. A 10 percent tax on luxury sales and an occupation tax on dance halls also moved forward. Maj. Maurice E. Barker has reported to Fort Sam Houston for duty as division chemical warfare officer after duty at Edgewood Arsenal.
