I the view that permission to sell liquor by the drink is one of the prime reasons for repealing the eighteenth amendment. Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr.. in announcing that he was drafting | the interim rules, said that in his | opinion the future of the method of i handling sales will rest largely with . what the public demands.

Mr. Lutz will hold in his rulings that the 25 cents a pint tax can not be split under the present liquor law in this state. But the tax might be levied on a half pint sale, it was pointed out. Only bottle sales will be allowed for the present, while the Governor’s liquor control commission j studies future plans.

Governor Paul V. McNutt has taken the stand that liquor must never be sold in beer places, since that would mean return of the saloon. He held a similar view about the return of saloons through draught beer sales, but later modified it and let the law be liberalized, through excise department rules.
