'State Store'vs. 'Private Sales' Fight On Today
Topcka. Jan. 18 — (UP) — Gov.
Frank Carlson's private license
(quor bill began flowing through the
Kansas legislature today with advocates
of state stores working to
build a dam ahead of it.
They held a public meeting in Representative hall Monday night, and some 100 legislators gathered to hear their arguments.
At outlined by Rep. Andrew Johnson, (R-Sedan) the forum chairman, and nine speakers who followed him, these were:
That consumption of liquor a person would likely be less under state monopoly, as shown by research statistics based on sales in other states —Rep. Donald Lunt.
That there is legal grounds for the state to step into the liquor business, that it would not be unconstitutional—Rep. J. L. Lattimore of Topeka.
That state ownership would produce the most revenue. Of the 10 highest in revenue, eight are monopoly states.-Rep. William Tice of Reloit
That it would be "impossible" for the bootleger to operate successfully in Kansas unless the state liquor price was set so high he could make a profit-Sen. Spencer Gard.
Rep. Fred Staadt of Garnett strode to the microphone to say state ownership presented too much of an opportunity "to make this thing a political football."
That control would be easier:
Fep. Lawrence Blythe of Winds City,
Crooks County.
Sen. Harry Newcomb, Ft. Scott Republican, said, "We of the G.O.P. for the past 16 years have been doing a lot of kicking about federal government monopoly and now some of us want us to get into it in Kansas."
White-haired Rep. Jay T. Botts cautioned that Kansas lawmakers should not act hastily in setting up a liquor control system after so long being a legally dry area.
"Before we decide whether state ownership or privately licensed scores are best, we should realize our actions will be permanent. The next legislature couldn't change the system," he said.
Representative Blythe, known in past sessions as the "bull of the woods," said, "Knowing as I do the distillers are against state owned stores makes me for that system."
Several argued that the absence of competition with the state handling all retail sales would be beneficial.
"It wouldn't matter in a state store whether they sold a bottle or a truckload," said Mr. Blythe.
Several speakers-pro and con on state ownership-talked of possible craft
Sen. Carl Huxman (D-Sublette) said, "There is just as much opportunity for graft in trying to buy a license license in as anything."
Asserting that the bootleger holds away under any system when sales are stopped, Rep. L. E. Lockwood of Augusta, a freshman legislator, said;
"There should be privately owned stores whose doors are open and the lock and key thrown away. If a man wants a drink at 3 a.m. he should be able to get it.
And They Didn't Have To Do It
Dr. Frank E. Hoecker, associate professor of physics, really started something when he scheduled an orientation period for 14 students working on a research project.
He decided to give the group weekly lectures on biophysics—the relationship of physics to living things.
At the second meeting 25 st students appeared and 56 at a third meeting. Last week about 40 attended.
Dr. Hoecker has now begun a separate series of lectures on biophysics. He is one of the Midwest's few experts in radiological physics.
Authentic Atmosphere For Russian Club
Sam Anderson, sponsor of the Russian club, believes in giving the club members an authentic Russian atmosphere when they meet at his home. The students are served a Russian beverage made from lemons, cloves, gooseberry jam, and tea; they also listen to recorded Russian music.
Mr. Anderson makes the Russian tea with a special type of charcoal stove, called a samovar. Translated literally, the word means "self cooker" and is made for the express purpose of brewing the tea.
Mr. Anderson was the last University foreign exchange student to Germany before the war and is now an instructor in German and Russian. He has travelled through much of Europe and Asia and has collected many items, among them an extensive number of Russian records. He also has a collection of chopsticks, all types and sizes.
