State Senate votes six mile school limit for whisky sold
In Des Moines on March 13 the State Senate adopted a Brookhart amendment barring liquor permits for drug stores within six miles of any state school or college by a 27 to 21 vote. The amendment revived the five mile limit issue. Iowa City druggists show no liquor permits, supporting prohibition near colleges. Brookhart’s profit cap of 75 percent on prescription liquor was defeated amid claims some grocers had 360 to 400 percent margins. The body moved cautiously amid many amendments, projections of defeat rose as the bill’s complex changes mounted. In the House, workmen’s compensation faced similar deadlock with many amendments, leading to a judiciary committee referral and a special order set for Tuesday March 18.
