[1958 - USA Politics:  Sen. Malone Reports To Voters On Trying To Repeal Excise Tax.  Oct58]
Title.  senator Malone sitting behind desk speaks to camera, SOF:  "I was proud to lead the fight again this year for the repeal of the wartime excise taxes which included 20% on live music.  We have cut most of such taxes in half during the two terms I have served here.  The tax on live music discriminates against the hotels & cafes that wish to present live entertainment & dancing privileges to our youngsters.  This measure was of particular importance to our state of Nevada for our hotels & gathering places are renowned the world over.  The bill lost by a scant eleven votes due to a misunderstanding, and I regret to say, the lack of courage in some quarters.  A change of six votes would have won for us.  I intend to lead this fight again next year, to aid the hotel & restaurant industry in the state of Nevada, to provide jobs for your musicians & to provide w/o prohibitive cost wholesome entertainment for our young people.  And next year we will win."
