Topeka Drug Gists Oppose New Registration Bill
The Topeka druggists oppose a proposed bill by Representative Hackbusch that would require every pharmacist in the state to pay a $1 annual registration fee. Critics say the change would swell the state board of pharmacy treasury, funding higher pay and expenses, with funds not remitted to the state. The article notes the board currently pays members $1 per day for quarterly meetings plus expenses. Also mentioned is a transfer of a choir leader from Lexven to Lincoln Nebraska and unrelated local ads for bird cages and pocket halves.
