Supreme Court Reverses Gehl on Liquor Tax
Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses Cir cuit Judge Gehl and allows the state to keep about 52.5 million in liquor and wine taxes. Taxes were levied to fund veterans housing and applied to stocks on hand when the 1947 tax hike took effect. The ruling leaves tavernkeepers unable to recover paid taxes unless the veterans housing law is struck down. The decision avoids ruling on constitutionality of the housing law itself. Attorney General plans to seek a test of the state’s power to spend on veterans housing. The issue includes potential questions about spending on internal improvements. The housing authority recently moved toward a court challenge.

Wisconsin Supreme Court Rules Against Chiropractors Assn
The Wisconsin Supreme Court invalidated a 1933 law requiring chiropractors to attend the Wisconsin Chiropractic Association education program to obtain a license. Five chiropractors had challenged the measure, and the court ruled the law created unneeded control by the association and forced alumni standards. The decision ordered licensing for Fred Gaundy of Green Bay, while Lundy’s license remained revoked for nonattendance.
