U. S. Embargo Acts Are Recalled in New Crisis

Strict Measures Enforced in Years Preceding War of 1812. Bit Scrlppß~Hoicard Xeicspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, Oct. s.—Current preparations here for clamping an embargo on shipments of arms and munitions to Italy and Ethiopia recall to historians the embargoes laid by the United States more than a century ago, in the years preceding the War of 1812. In iBO6 England, despairing of gaining sufficient allies to subdue Napoleon on land, determined to starve h'm into submission. She proclaimed a blockade of most of the coast of France. Napoleon retaliated by a paper blockade of the British Isles. England came back by requiring neutral ships to stop at a British port, pay a tax, and obtain a license before going ahead. Thereupon Napoleon announced that he would confiscate any ship which obeyed the British order. The rights of the United States as a neutral went by the board. Embargo Act Passed President Jefferson determined upon peace at any price, and resisted the British and French encroachments by non-military measures. In April. 1806, Congress passed the Non-Importation Act, which forbade entry to certain specified British goods. This proving ineffective, and the Federalists protesting that the Administration was actuated by sympathy with France, the Embargo Act of December, 1807, was enacted. It forbade all American ships to engage in any foreign trade. As with prohibition in the twentieth century, the rewards of bootlegging were high enough to cause considerable violation of the, 'a®

BIDS ARE A3KED FOR~ NEW POSTOFFICE SITE Seidensticker Asks Communications for Fountain Square Branch. Bids for anew site for the Fountain Square branch postoffice have been asked by H. C. Rumble, postoffice inspector in Cincinnati. Bidders are to communicate with Postmaster Adolph Seidensticker by Nov. 8. The location must be available by May 1, 1936, for a 10-year lease, and must contain 3500 square feet of floor space. Present location of the branch office is at 1030 Virginiai av, in a building owned by Wallace O. Lee. The lease expires May 1.

The stringent Force Act of January, 1808, had to be passed to make enforcement more efficient, and the measures taken under it were unpopular with all classes. Severe Depression Sets In The Massachusetts Legislature declared the Force Ac; not legally binding. A severe depression descended upon the United States and complaints arose from every section. New England and New York were the most bitter, because idle ships could only rot at wharves, whereas cotton, tobacco and wheat could be stored and to some extent consumed at home. Federal revenues shrank. So at the very end of Jefferson’s Administration the Embargo Act was replaced by the Non-Intercourse Act, which forbade trade with England and France but permitted it with the rest of the world. Then a satisfactory arrangement with England was believed to have been made, and trade resumed with her, bringing back prosperity for a brief period. War Finally Declared But the arrangement had not been official, and the Non-Inter-course Act went back into effect against both belligerents, who continued to violate American rights. The act was superseded by Mason's Bill No. 2 of May 1, 1810. which restored commerce with the whole world, but allowed President Madison to cut it off at his discretion, with either France or England, in case the other respected America’s neutrality. Napoleon promised to rescind his decrees against American shipping, and even though he was found to be only partly sincere, the 1810 law was brough into play against England. Anew act of March 2, 1811, again forbade American , entry to British goods, and the United States drifted into the War of 1812.

WATER RATES UNCHANGED BY COURTJULING U. S. Judge Sets Company’s Value at $21,393,821 in Decision. Indianapolis water rates will not be changed by the ruling of Federal Judge Robert C Baltzeli yesterday, Joseph J. Daniels, chief counsel for the Indianapolis Water Cos., said today. The ruling, which ended litigation started in 1932. when the company sought a temporary injunction against the Public Service Commission. set the value of the company's properties at $21,393,821. and the fair rate of return at 6 per cent. The water company had estimated value of property at approximately $28,000,000. and had contended that a fair rate of return on this would be between 7 and 8 per cent. Water rates are computed on the fair rate of return. Under Judge Baltzell's ruling. Mr. Daniels explained today, the company will be unable to raise water rates now existent in Indianapolis. Declines to Comment He declined to say whether the company now is earning 6 per cent on its property, and withheld further comment on the court's ruling until final entry of the decree is made. This probably will not be for several weeks, as Judge Baltzeli lias called upon the Public Service Commission to provide a draft of special findings of fact and law. The 1934 corporate income of the water company was $1.270 816 60. A 6 per cent return on the $21,393,821 valuation fixed by the court would be $1,283,569.26. Litigation on water rates started in 1932. when the Public Service Commission began an inventory of the company's properties. Before completing this inventory, the commission decided that water rates were too high in Indianapolis, and made a temporary rate reduction. The company then asked a temporary injunction on these rates, which was taken before a three-judge court. Permanent Injunction Asked This temporary injunction suit was dismissed when the Public Service Commission made a permanent rate schedule, to which the water company asked a permanent injunction. The suit later was before Albert Ward, special master in chancery, who valued the property at $20,282,I 143. Judge Baltzeli, in yesterday's ; ruling, raised this valuation by alj lowing 40 cents an hour for com- | moil labor, instead of 30 and by raising the water rights valuation. These were two of the points on which the company had based its fight. Judge Baltzell’s ruling denied the comnany right to include among useful properties acreage near Oaklandon, bought more than five years ago for the building of a dam in Fall Creek. The judge pointed out in his opinion that this action had not been taken, and that the land was used merely as farmland. No further action will be taken by the Public Service Commission, Atty. Gen. Philip Lutz Jr. said today. He said the order of Dec. 30, 1932, which fixed the present water rates, will stand. FREE FAIR TO BE HELD j Versailles Prepares for Annual Pumpkin Show.
