State Legislators Face Problem In Liquor Control
By JAMES MORRIS
Speculation on what the state legislature will do about re-opening the liquor control question during the 1949 session has been running rampant since Nov. 3. While most observers are certain that action will be taken to prevent the state from returning to wide open status, opinion is divided on the exact action that should be taken.
The situation is no clearer in the so-called license states. California, Connecticut, Delaware, and South Carolina issue state licenses. The other 24 states also-allow county and municipal governments to issue permits. Seven states license only retail package sales. Twenty-one can license anyone but usually restrict certificates to drug, grocery, and package stores.
In 23 states, sales by the drink are not restricted. Taverns are kept in line by regulating hours of sale, Sunday's sales, sales with or without food, sales while consumers are standing or seated at bars or tables, and sales to women and minors. The five states not allowing alcoholic beverages to be sold by the drink vary restrictions. Three allow only beer, the other two allow beer and wine.
Idaho, Michigan, Maine, Ohio,
Utah, Washington, and West Virginia
have private dealers in addition to state outlets. Nine monopoly states have open saloons, four permit wine and beer to be sold by the drink, four others permit only beer. Only four monopoly states have no provision for local option. In Pennsylvania, local option is limited only to the question of permitting by-the-drink sales.
Legislators will not be able to turn to other states for guidance. No consistent means of regulating liquor traffic exists. While 17 states have constitutional provisions on the sale and manufacture of alcoholic beverages, almost twice this number regulate by statute.
Twenty license states have local option. Eighteen leave it up to voting units to decide whether they want local prohibition. Two limit local option to forbidding the open saloon. Six license states have no provisions.
Five states have outlawed the open saloon. Thirteen forbid selling distilled spirits by the drink. Seventeen adapted the monopoly policy but liquor is sold in state-operated stores in only eight of these states. Maryland, a license state, has nine counties operating package stores, Minnesota, North Dakota, and South Dakota have given cities the right to monopolize retail package sales.
Lack of uniformity among the wet states in controlling liquor manufacture and sale seems to indicate the situation is strictly on an individual basis. Kansas legislators will have to decide what controls are best for the state without any real outside help.

A darkroom which will complete the metallographic laboratory is just about finished Kenneth E. Rose, associate professor of mining and metallurgy, said today.
New Darkroom For Metallurgy Class
The room will have facilities to develop plates used in photomicriography and X-ray film used in radiography. The classes have been using a dark room on the second floor of Lindley hall.
Baltimore — (UP) — Enraged at seeing men sitting down in a street car while women had to stand, pedestrian Joseph Fitzpatrick, 19, rapped on the window as a gentle hint.
Photomicrography is used in studying the structure of metals at high magnification and reveals things about metals that chemical analysis can not. Radiography is used to look for defects in casting and other metal parts that will be used under stress.
