Drys Oppose Liquor by the Drink

Any attempt to legalize liquor by the drink in Kansas in the 1972 legislature will be firmly opposed by the Kansas United Dry Law, which component to liberalizing Kansas liquor laws.
Rev. Dick Taylor, executive director of the Kansas United Dry Forces in Topeka, discredits any advantages that advocates of the tax law have been using, including a new source of tax revenue.
"Those pushing for increased availability of our most abused drug tell you that liquor by the ounce would mean a significant new tax resource," Taylor said, "but they do not tell you that the economic loss caused by alcohol and alcoholism is twice the total revenue.
"Those pushing for increased availability of our most abused drug tell you that liquor by the ounce is to bring increased tourist and convention business to the state.
"They do not tell you that convention attenders have more nique available
for consumption than is really needed. The hotel, motel and restaurant people want liquor by the ounce not for conventions, but for the local year-round trade."
IN TAYLOR's opinion, liquor by the drink has less support now than before.
Taylor said that any factor affecting the volume of consumption inevitably affected the rate of alcoholism and vice versa. As per capita consumption increased there would be a proportionately higher number of alcohols, he said.
There is a constitutional prohibition against the open saloon so the courts would have to define it, Evans said. The Kansas law did not specify what an open saloon was.
Bud Evans, attorney for the Alcoholic Control Division in Topeka, last week that if the bill, passed the legislature in its final form, is approved, ask the courts to define the open saloon.
IN LAWRENCE, restaurant people generally supported the bill. By and large, private club owners favor liquor by the owners, many believe the bill to be discriminatory.
Bob Hansman, Ramada Inn manager, shared the opinion of other restaurant owners in Lawrence. He said he would be glad to see a change and get livery by the

projects are funded from self-generating funds.
Nichols said that because of fee increases, which will go into effect next fall, the University will collect at least $1.5 million more than it did this year in student fees. He said that under KU's original budget request, student fees would pay for 67 percent of the budget increases with the state paying the remainder.
"BUT, AFTER the cuts which Mr. Bibb has made, student fees would pay for the entire budget increase and we would probably have money left over which would be used to buy books," Never before has the bulk of budges expansion been paid for by student fees."
Nichols said that although he thought the University's budget had been severely cut, he did comment Bibb's recommendation for $500,000 to balance the loss the University suffered this year because of the enrollment decrease.
Nichols said that he hoped the legislature would approve the recommendation.
"I intend to appeal for restoration of the entire amount, about $847,000, but this recommendation shows a willingness on the state's part to meet us wellward," he said.
Joe Kieltka, owner and operator of the Carriage Lamp, a restaurant and private club in the Malls Shopping Center, said he would rather see the proper legislation take place through a constitutional amendment. He also warned that enforcement for stronger law enforcement he said
drink. He said liquor by the drink would keep people in Lawrence because better entertainment and better restaurant income were possible with additional income from liquor.
"IF THEY DO, I might be able to repeal the 10 per cent cut back on maintenance and supply funds which I had to institute at the beginning of the semester," he said.
Nichols also said that the $1.8 million cut this year was not as severe as budget cuts of the
KIELTYKA SAID liquor by the drink would increase competition and raise the level of the restaurant business. According to Lawrence, the drink would tend to stay in Lawrence to entertain.
Concerning the budget hearings in Topeka Thursday, Nichols said that he would appeal every cut made in the KU budget.
"We trust that Governor Docking will be lenient towards KU this year as he has
The University submitted its budget proposal Oct 15 to Bibb's office. After the hearings this week, Gov. Docking will go on trial in January to present his budget message.

Two gunmen are being sought by Lawrence police in connection with a robbery I a.m. Saturday at Burger Chef Chipotle. The man unidismissed amount of money was taken.

Alumni Vote To Be Mailed
Kieltyka said the amendment failed in the past because the wets had difficulty getting people together and the drys had an organized united drive force.
Wes Kabler, owner-operator of the Flamingo Supper Club, a class B private club in Lawrence, said he thought the bill was unfair.
The winter quarterly meeting of the University of Kansas Alumni Association Board of Directors scheduled for Saturday was cancelled because of the bad weather, according to Dick Wintermorte, executive director of the Alumni Association.
