Hu Scripps-Hotcard Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON. Feb. 4.—Practical exclusion of American wheat and Hour from the principal markets of the world is the outstanding problem confronting United States agriculture for 1931, according to the ofilciai crop outlook leport isued today by the department of agriculture. Foreign retaliation against the Hawley-Smoot tariff law already has driven American importers out of business in eight countries, the prevailing import duties amounting in each case to a practical embargo. Continued heavy losses during 1931 as a direct result of this closing of export markets is regarded by the department's experts as the controlling factor in the present outlook.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

50 Years Ago In Legislature

By United Press STABILIZATION of railroad and freight rates was sought in a resolution placed before the legislators of 1881 by Representative O’Brien of Kosciusko county. The measure provided that congress be asked to regulate rates charged by interstate railroads. Sumner of Marshall Introduced a measure providing additional punishment and heavy fines upon conviction on arson charges. His bill provided in cases involving persons convicted on arson charges in which loss of life also was involved, the defendant should be given an additional charge of first degree murder.

SENATE TALKS WHIPPING POST BILLTODEATH Crime Measure Would Have Sanctioned Lashings for Felons. Laughed to oblivion two years ago, the whipping post bill of the current legislative session was “talked" to its grave in the Indiana senate Tuesday. Sponsored again this session by Senator Robert Moorhead (Rep., Marion), the bill drew but twelve favorable votes, while twenty-two were for defeat. It would have authorized judges to add to sentences given felons convicted of crimes with use of dangerous weapons not more than sixty lashes “on the bare back, well laid on.” “Adding lashes to the back of a criminal will not deter crime," contended Senator Jesse E. Wade (Dem., Vanderburg and Warrick) In an Impassioned speech. “The death penalty Is nothing more than legalizing murder in Indiana. Let’s not' add another blot to the state’s name.” Senator Winfield Miller (Rep., Marion) championed the measure. I Asks: What Is ACNE? ft PIMPLES Yes!
