DRY LAW FEE REPEAL URGED BY DEMOCRAT Lake County Representative Says Court Dockets Being Clogged. ANOTHER CHANGE ASKED Prosecutor or Deputy Would Be Required to Approve Liquor Affidavits. “There is no sense in regarding the drinking of a glass of wine or liquor worse than murder,” declared Representative W. E. Stanton <Dem., Lake) in an indictment of the special fee of $25 paid prosecutors for successful liquor law prosecutions at a hearing before the house committee on public morals late Tuesday. Armed with statistics of various counties to show how ‘ prosecutors let major felony cases clog up dockets while prosecuting liquor cases for the special fee,” Stanton begged the committee to report out for passage of the Egan-Monnig bill which would repeal the special fee provided in the Wright bone dry law. At the same time he pleaded for indorsement of the section in the new measure which would have prosecutors or their deputies present when affidavits for dry law violations are sworn. Urges Open Discussion “The Egan-Monnig bill should be brought out on the floor of the house so that the people of the state would learn how the members feel.” Stanton said. "In Lake county we are sick of this special dry law fee. "Our docket was left clogged with important felony cases when the last prosecutor went out of office, but every liquor law violation case had been tried. “There arc 2,200 felony cases on the dockets in Lake county, but not a liquor case. "The prosecutor grabbing for the fee speedily brought action in those cases,” he charged. “It seems as if the prosecutors of Hie state can not see the distinction between a drunk on the street and a murderer. "Every prosecutor should approve the affidavit before the police go into a man’s cellar and, seizing a bottle of grape juice that has fermented. arrest him. There should be a guarantee that the citizen's right to consider his home his castle be maintained.” Stanton declared. Representative Fred Egan iDem., Lake*, co-author of the bill, pointed o'it the dire need of having the prosecutor or his deputy personally see that the affidavits arc sworn to. Feasibility of Injustice ' Take the case of one neighbor who is angry at another,” Egan said, “lie calls the police and says that his neighbor has whisky or beer in his home, and a wagon is brought up to the house. The neighbor is loaded in and then the police search the house and finds nothing. "What redress has the insulted and damaged person? None at all. The prosecutor should be responsible for all affidavits.” Turning on the special fees, Egan declared: “Instoad of promoting morality we arc subsidizing the prosecutors to perform their duty with this $25. "It appears today that the man who takes a drink is in the eyes of the law committing a greater offense than slugging another person for the purpose of robbery. "Taking a drink is not morally wrong and it can never compare in its lawlessness with murder or assault, but the special fee has made it that in Indiana.” Dry Attorney Heard Ethan A. Miles, attorney for the Indiana Anti-Saloon League, declared that when the fee system is abolished a principal source of revenue to the prosecutor would be taken away and the other fees would afford insufficient compensation. "It seems strange to me,” Miles declared, "that the men in the counties where the prosecutor is on a salary arc the ones protesting against this fee. "The prosecutor is the poorest paid offiicial for this reason, and is in some counties the poorest official.” Allies protested against the swearing of affidavits before the prosecutor on the ground that at present the law' makes ample provisions that a search warrant must pc obtained. “Why not fix a special fee for all offenses?” asked Representative John White (Dem.. Marion). "Why should we pick out liquor offenses and make them special?” “Because liquor offenses are the most damnable,” was the answer of Representative Thad S. Adams (Rep.. Hendricks), The committee decided to postpone all consideration of the bill until the Democratic platform pledge fees and salaries bill bad been introduced, setting up fees for all prosecutors.

MAJ. SHEPARD SENTENCED IN WIFEPOISONING Appeal Prepared as Court Overrules Plea for New Trial. By United Press TOPEKA. Kan.. Feb. 4.—Major Charles A. Shepard’s attorney today began preparing an appeal to the United States circuit court r.’ appeals from Shepard's sentence to life imprisonment for conviction of killing his wife with poison. Judge Richard J. Tlopkins sentenced Shepard late Tuesday after overruling his claim that he was entitled to anew trial because there had been errors in admission of testimony. The colorful 50-year-old army officer whom the government charged killed his wife so he would be free to marry a blonde Texas stenographer less than half his age, was released under $20,000 bond after his attorney was allowed ninety days to perfect the appeal. Stationed at Hospital Shepard said he would return at once to Denver, where he is stationed at Fitzsimmons hospital. He is an expert on tuberculosis and was stationed in Kansas when his wife died. In overruling the motion for a new trial. Judge Hopkins ruled that “no material error was committed.” Attorney Harry L. Glass, Shepard's counsel, declared he had “just begun to fight.” reiterated his belief, that Shepard was innocent and declared he would carry the case to the United States supreme court if necessary. Bond Is Protested It was believed Judge Hopkins’ sentence would not affect Shepard's status in the army, as the war department has assured him he will retain his rank until all appeals are exhausted. Major Shepard’s $20,000 bond was signed by four Kansas City (Kan.) citizens. The bond was accepted after protests from S. M. Brewster, United States district attorney, who contended the conviction had resulted from a fair trial and that Shepard should begin serving his sentence immediately.

Gandhi, leader of the civil disobedience movement against British rule, today asked the viceroy, Lord Irwin, to make "a peace gesture” toward settlement of the independence controversy. Gandhi, in a letter to the viceroy, urged an official inquiry into six test cases of charges of police excesses against the independence volunteers. He said he would interpret the consent of the viceroy to the inquiry into a genuine instance of "excess” as a peace gesture. Gandhi said he then would attempt to persuade the leaders of the nationalist congress to realize the advantage of the offer of Prime Minister MacDonald toward a federal government for India.

INDIANAPOLIS, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 4, 1931

JUSTICE ASKED FOR LABOR BY COLLEGE HEAD Curb on Injunctions Urged by Famed Fighter for Rights of Workers. ELOQUENT PLEA VOICED Father Maguire Cheered to Echo as He Speaks at Statehouse. “Injunction in labor disputes do nothing but take from the laboring classes the inalienable rights guaranteed them by the American Constitution. It tends to give working men a rankling sense of injustice and lends truth to the charge that our government is no longer free, but a government by injunction. "Our forefathers shed their blood that tyranny of this kind should vanish forever from the earth. An abuse of power is always tyranny, whether that abuse comes from a judge or any one else.” In such stirring terms did the Rev. J. W. R. Maguire, president of St. Viator college, Kankakee, 111., seek to arouse public interest and legislative favor for the injunction limitation bill at a hearing before judiciary A committee in the house of representatives Tuesday night. Fighter for Justice The bill is backed by the Indiana State Federation of Labor and Father Maguire was brought in as its advocate. He is noted throughout the country as a fighter for social justice. Every seat in the house was filled and round upon round of applause greeted the speaker as he urged enactment of the bill as a step toward preservation of the rights of free men. He told of his part in passage of a similar measure in Illinois and pointed out that it has had beneficial results there since it became a statute in 1925. The bill merely would forbid the use of injunctions in labor disputes, leaving. free their use in all matters of equity where no statute provides relief. "If this merely were a political matter, I would not appear here,” the priest declared. "For canon law forbids that I engage in political affairs. But this transcends all political action. Vital to People "Here is a measure upon which the social and economic welfare of our people depends. Government must mean the greatest good to the greatest number and no legislature can afford to be indifferent to the welfare of industry,” he declared. “There are higher rights than property rights and no lawful property right but is protected by this bill,” he asserted. “A fundamental principle of liberty is involved here. It is to restore to the working class the freedom that should be theirs. "If this bill fails, Indiana still will see the day when a legislature will pass such a law in defense of both natural and constitutional rights.” Real Silk Policy Defended J. A. Goodman, chairman of the board of Real Silk, appeared against the bill and declared he was doing so for the sake of his employes. He represented that they were caved from striking by an injunction against labor organizers and that peace and harmony prevail, because their company organization forbids them the right to join a labor union, Charles Leeke, head of the company contract organization, came forward to tell about it, under questioning by Representative Jacob Weiss (Dem., Marion), committee member. Later Father Maguire inquired if employers thought that the ends of justice would be served if the unions were so strong that they could require employers to sign a contract not to join an employers’ association. Yockey Opposes Bill Attorney Harry Yockey appeared to protest the bill’s passage for the Indianapolis Associated Employers. He said the measure ignores individual rights. “If Indiana labor was organized fully this state would see an era of prosperity such as it never has seen before, in my opinion,” Father Maguire declared, in closing on the bill’s behalf.

Holmes * Rep., Lake) and Herbert V. Tormohlen (Rep., Jay and Randolph). Holmes said today the bill will receive a favorable report for passage from the committee on education. Children between 14 and 16 would be permitted employment by the bill upon completion of the eighth grade of school and securing a work permit certificate issued by the state industrial board. The board is opposed to passage of the law and members are working against it.

“rj'LIMINATION of pain has become a necessity in dentistry,” he continued. “Fear on the part of the public that pain is inevitable when a person goes into the dentist’s chair has been responsible for hundreds of fine sets of teeth going to ruin. The matter of false teeth and how thoroughly embarrassing it is when you misplace them or lose them out of a street car via*

A jury to try Frank Jordan, 25, for first degree murder in the Greenfield love triangle slaying, probably will be seated in criminal court today.

Jordan is charged with slaying Raymond Cole, 27, of 1038 Troy avenue, Oct. 31, 1930, after a love affair with Cole’s wife, Mrs. Marie Cole. The state is demanding the death penalty. Mrs. Cole is charged with complicity in the crime. With L.

HOUSE DEBATES POLL TAX BILL Attitude of Women on Fee Argued on Floor. Eight hundred thousand Indiana W’omen between 21 and 50 may want the recognition that goes witli the ballot, but whether the want to pay poll tax to get it was a debated question in the Indaina house today. The only woman representative, Miss Telia C .Haines (Dem., Sullivan), a co-author of the bill, believes women of Indiana want to pay the poll tax, so Representative Herbert H. Evans (Rep., Henry) told the house. Miss Haines made no speech, but "ha dthc last word” by moving the bill, on final passage, be made a special order of business for 10:30 Friday morning. Arguing “there Is no justification for a poll tax,” Representative Delph L, McKesson (Dem., Marshall), as majority floor leader, expounded the Democratic policy on increasing the state poll tax from $1 to $2.50 and making it applicable to women as well as men, all between the ages of 21 and 50. “If you pass this bill,” he shouted i nthe house, “You’ll hear about it louder than anything this session when you get back home. You won't be back here again when the women hear about it.” Evans replied: “Indiana women want identification and will pay a poll tax for that purpose. This bill would raise another $1,200,000.”

Marcus was the “general manager” of a giant wildcat distillery found here in December, United States officers revealed. He had not been seen since shortly after the raid, underworld sources said.

"If human beings could control their muscles while unconscious at night they could preserve their teeth for much longer periods of time,’' he added. “But not only are the teeth called upon to work three times a day at meal times, and to exercise every time a person talks, but they start grinding up and down at night C the extent of adding many extfa pounds of pressure on the teeth and subjecting them tp a terrific strain,”

TAX MEASURE TU BE FILED DURING WEEK House Finally Agrees on Bill Designed to Ease Property Load. INCOMES TO FACE LEVY Intangibles Also Expected to Provide Portion of State Revenue. Ways and means committee of the Indiana house of representatives expects to wheel on to the floor of the house Thursday the Infant tax plan counted upon to grow up in four weeks to become the support of state government. The “hush of expectancy” hung over the ways and means committee maternity ward today where midwives and attendants at the birth include thirteen nervous ways and means members, nine senate finance committeemen, the senator who is chairman of the Governor's tax survey committee, a tax expert and economist, political lea-deVs and twelve joint tax committeemen. Income taxes on individuals and corporations, counted upon to raise annually about half the $15,000,000 now provided by the .state property levy, are qualifications expected of the infant. Democrats trust the youngster will grow' up to look like its father —the income tax pledge of the Democratic state Republicans want it to Republican insistence for relief from burdensome property taxes. Sometimes they agree it may look like both. Two Bills Chosen Decision to settle upon House Bills 271 and 233, drafted by the legislative reference bureau for the tax survey commission which worked on tax revision for more than a year, was reached at a round table meeting of the joint tax committee of both houses late Tuesday. Unaware that R. Earl Peters, Democratic state chairman, and Paul V. McNutt, touted as the 1932 Democratic gubernatorial nominee, had told the ways and means committee Monday night that these two bills were satisfactory as a “starting point,” Representative Delph L. McKesson, majority floor leader, opened the meeting with a gesture toward stamping the income tax effort with the Democratic party label. “There's a bill being drafted along lines of the Georgia law,” he said, “and I think we ought to wait on it.” He did not know Chairman Peters had told ways and means twentyfour hours before, “Colonel McNutt has given several days’ close consideration to the Georgia law.” McKesson's position indicated a successful “McNutt income tax act” might not be harmful to the gubernatorial aspirant in the fall of 1932, Lieutenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush, leading the Republican tax relief drive, and Speaker Walter Myers, watching to see that Republicans do not steal all the thunder, agreed “somethings got to be started at once.” Delay Causing Complaints Chairman Hardin S. Linke (Dem., Bartholomew) of ways and means said: “People back home are beginning to complain at the delay.” Senator J. Clyde Hoffman <Rep., Marion), head of the tax survey committee, stressed the need for a comprehensive plan for enough new revenue measures to supplant the present state property levy, plus measures to reduce local expenditures. This finally was agreed to be the “sense” of the joint committee. Then the patient Professor George W. Starr of the bureau of business research of Indiana university, was asked again to make the explanations of tax research he has made throughout the country. He has followed committee after committee through scattered hearings, trying to find just who is framing the new tax law. But the same people never seem to be there twice. His remark that an act to tax intangibles at perhaps 25 per cent of their face value would be required as a companion to the income tax bill to discourage sequestering, brought a bolt from Bush. Opposes 25 Per Cent Levy “If a man will steal a dollar, he’ll steal a quarter,” the Lieutenant Governor declared with a smack of his fist. “The whole purpose of intangible bills is to get rid of the tax ferret, and that would be a mistake.” Ways and Means Chairman Linke had left the room with his sheaf of bills for another committee meeting. Senator Lee J. Hartzell (Allen and Noble), Reupblican majority leader, was on the point of dozing in his chair—his feet outstretched on another. “What would happen if we passed a law here to tax intangibles at their full face value?” Hartzell asked. . Informed such a law has been on the books for years, the senator seemed impatient for adjournment. Talking to Myers, while others chatted one to another. Bush did not hear Senator Hoffman point out that his estimate of the revenue raising power of the income tax bills had been made on the assumption ait intangible tax bill would be passed also. “We’ve got to do something: we’ve got to get action,” Myers enjoined them. The action is due for Thursday or Friday at latest with the income measures, bearing committee amendments, being brought to the floor of the house, recommended for passage.
