License bill passes as budgeted saloon tax debate roils house
The session approved a license bill by 29 to 18, fixing liquor licenses at 1000 dollars with 400 dollars to the city and 60 to schools. Senator Mattingly defended the measure amid protests from prohibitionists and brewers, arguing strong action against the liquor trade. Republicans argued the tax is burdensome, especially on teachers’ salaries funded by saloons, while Democrats contested votes and procedural moves. The chamber also debated postponing a campaign finance measure and considered banning Sunday barbers from opening shops, with the majority favoring passage though minority postponement failed.
