Ravenswood Mops Up After White River Recedes

ADOPTS BAN ON PRISON GOODS

Action Unanimous on Bill Barring Such Sales on Open Market.

ment the Labor Department measure introduced in the Senate yesterday.

New Labor Measure

It would: : 1. Give workers the right to assign their wage claims to the Labor Commissioner (an office to be established if the Senate Labor Department Bill is ratified.) 2. Require employers to post payrolls. 3. Require an employer to pay a worker within 24 hours after separated from or discharged by a concern. » 4. When. work is suspended due to a labor dispute, the employees must be paid at the next regular pay day. The Senate Labor Department Bill was reported out of committee without amendment. In addition to establishing a Labor Commissioner, it would give the Labor Department

broad powers to arbitrate in labor

disputes.

The arbitration would be

out. Await Townsend Return

Final action on major labor and taxation measures is not .expected to be taken: until Govenror Townsend returns from Washington. The Governor is to attend the Roosevelt inauguration. Two “public morals” bills had first reading in the House and are expected to excite heated debate later. They would:

1. Set tavern closing time one |

hour earlier every night but Sat- | urday when it would be two hours | earlier, and prohibit sale of alcohelic beverages on Christmas and election days.

Ban on Bank Nights

2. Make theater “bank nights” and other alleged lottery ‘schemes illegal. The Lawyers’ Ethics Bill would ban ambulance chasing; provide revocation of admission to the bar by any Circuit or Superior Court; allows disbarment under accusation of a felony and prohibits soliciting of lawsuits. Small retail merchants may receive gross income tax relief if the Legislature adopts the recommendations expected to be made by the special Gross Income Tax Revision Committee. The committee may recommend that the exemption of $1000 on receipts of small merchants be either doubled or tripled. According to Kenneth L. Ogle, the Indiana Committee proposals have been prepared with the help of the Indiana University Institute of Criminology as well as leading judges and prosecutors.

Provisions Are Given

The Committee measures to be introduced this week would: 1. Tighten change of venue provisions of the present statute and strike out the provision that a case

‘cannot be tried until the next suc-

ceeding term of the court in the county to which the case is taken. It would permit trial as promptly as possible. 2. Require the defendant to pro-

3. Prisoners awaiting trial could be held for safekeeping in State institutions if county jails appear, in the opinion of the court, to be unsafe. A similar statute was recommended by Prosecutor Herbert Spencer following the escape of the Brady gang from the Greenfield jail

| last summer,

Increase Jury Panels

4. Give the trial judge the power to order jury commissioners to provide a sufficient number of prospec- | tive jurors, rather than restricting {the number of the first panel to 12 plus bystanders, as the present statute provides. 5. Provide for alternate jurors to prevent mistrials due to illness of an original panel member. 6. Give judges more power to examine prospective jurors regarding their competency. 7. Allow juries to consider the fact when a criminal case defendant refuses to testify. 8. Provide for the preservation and admission in evidence of proceedings before a committing judge or proceedings obtained at a preliminary hearing. 9. Require that a defendant or witness who makes a motion for continuance of a case because of illness be examined by a physician.

Other Senate Bills

The two other Senate bills passed by large majorities provide that the surplus from township gravel road funds revert to township general funds. The sum involved totals $108,000. The other bill provides that farmers who have maintained their half of a fence line for five years or more to retain that section even though the adjoining property is sold. Senate Judiciary A Committee reported favorably on the Indiana League of Women Voters’ bill to make the reporter of the Supreme and Appellate Courts an appointive office. Bank Liability Bill

Two resolutions which would remove the double liability from stock-

holders of state banks were intro-

pensions. Before the session ended Congress also had overridden the President on the soldiers’ bonus issue, approving the long-disputed plan for immediate payment of the $2,300,000,000 due in Adjusted Service Certificates.

AAA Principles Revived

During 1935-1936 came a revival of the AAA, through legislation providing subsidies for soil conservation to farmers, and ‘piecemeal’ NRA substitutes, foremost of which were the Wagner Labor Relations Act and the Guffey Coal Act. The Administration launched with Congressional approval a work-re-lief program, calling for $4,880,000,000, the major part of which was to put 3,500,000 unemployed to work on Government co-operative jobs. The program was continued with a similar $1,425,000,000 appropriation during the last session. The Social Security Act was the major measure passed by Congress during the last session of the President’s first term. It launched a program for security for those 65 and over and for those losing jobs. The plan provided that states were to co-operate through their own setups. Tax Policies Continued President Roosevelt carried forward New Deal tax policies by enactment of a “tax the rich” bill, imposing high taxes on the wealthy, on the estates of the wealthy, and on corporation-income. The second session of the 74th Congress enacted a bill placing new levies on undistributed corporate surpluses as a means of forcing earnings into the hands of individual spenders. Banking, financial ad stock market legislation marked the early Roosevelt recovery program.

* Other Important Measures

1. The Neutrality Act providing an arms embargo against belligerents. 2. The Reciprocal Trade Authority, enabling the Administration to make agreements with foreign nations for interchange of goods regardless of tariff restrictions. 3. The Federal liquor control setup calling for an Alcohol Control Administration and Federal liquor taxes—approved after the states approved Roosevelt-sponsored repeal of prohibition. 4. Establishment of the Tennessee Valley Authority — originally designed to give a “yardstick” to power costs to consumers, 5. Measures putting the Congress on record for a $1,000,000,000 national defense program annually.

STABILIZATION BILL PASSED BY SENATE

Approval Also Expected in House Today. =

By United Press WASHINGTON, - Jan. 19.— The Senate today rode down Republican opposition and voted extension of the $2,000,000,000 Stabilization Fund Act and the President's power to devalue the dollar. The Senate action came as the measure was brought up in the House for debate with expectation that passage would be completed today so the hill can be sent to the White House. ‘The Senate acted after rejecting by a vote of 32 to 43 an amendment by Senator Arthur H. Vandenberg (R. Mich.) for a complete audit of

the operations of the huge stabiliza=

tion fund when the power finally expires.

Under the bill passed today—sec= .

ond of three extension bills asked

by the President—the powers are

extended to June 30, 1939.
