Class TWo milk is used largely for manufacturing purposes. The Indianapolis Dairymen’s Co-operative already had asked for an increase of 40 per cent a hundred pounds on bottle milk, which would mean, if granted, an increase of 1 cent a quart on the retail price. The farmers in both instances said the cost of producing milk has greatly increased with the disappearance of pastures.

told the attorneys in an address at the annual banquet that recent surveys have demonstrated that the jury system in criminal cases is not the weak link it was supposed to be in the enforcement of law. He cited figures in a Chicago survey revealing that fewer than 10 ~ cent. of persons arrested never come before a jury. . *Obviqusly the proper points for improvement are the district attorney’s office and the ‘so-called inferior court to which .the prisoner is brought immediately after arrest,” he said. New Laws Lauded
The committee on criminal law in a report to the association commended members of the association for securing passage through the state Legislature of 26 new laws dealing with phases of criminal law and said that a general satisfaction with these newly-enacted laws generally exists. The laws were: (1) An act for securing attendance of witnesses from within and without the state in criminal proceedings; (2) An. act for extradition of criminals; (3) An act authorizing the arrest and custody of persons closely pursued in this state: by peace officers of other states. The fact that the committee invited suggestions from judges, prosecuting attorneys and other law enforcing agencies for law changes was construed by the report as meaning that the criminal laws of the state are fairly satisfactory and that. emphasis should be put on administration. . A lessening of crime in the state and a more stern attitude on the part of law enforcement agencies was reported by the committee. The report was signed ‘by Attorgg PEDALS Jr., chairman; B. Howard n, William Fitzgerald Jr., Beh Soifres and Emsley Johnson. .
