80 P. REPORT ! : = ON LIQUOR BILL "DUE IN HousE

se Commilie te Give ont On Local Option and Midnight Closing.

. An amended Republican liquor bill which now coritains “home rule”

“and midnight closing provisions, -'will be reported to the House toal or tomorrow by the G. O. P. ‘members of the Public Morals Comere : C3 While not agreeing entirely on “provisions of this measure, drafted by the Republican State Committee, " Democratic representatives conced- * “ed they had little chance of halting $y ft at this stage. They said they ror would present numerous amend- ~~ “ments when the measure reached ‘second reading. “" .° Ignoring demands for local option 2 which were presented by spokesmen for temperance and church | groups “at a public hearing yesterday after- * hoon, committee members did . write in an amendment to eliminate 2 “the representative of the State Al- | coholic Beverages Commission from ** ‘county control boards.

Bre 4-Man Board Provided 7 ° In its present amended form the

bill would provide for a-four-mem-ber bipartisan State commission. “Two members would be named from each of the two major political par- ... ties. State committees of these par- ,-- ties would nominate five men for . positions on this board and the Governor would make selections rom these five-member lists. | This provision was opposed particidarly by Democratic committee ~ members who supported a = five14.. member board containing an excise irector named by and directly re- + -.sponsible to the Governor. A pro- ,-_. posed amendment to this effect in“troduced by Rep. Daniel L. Bower s.r 74D. Indianapolis) was voted down. <r +2, . An amendment suggested by the Democrats which received commit21" tea support would give the State = «Commission the right to regulate .- .the extension of credit by wholeon ~salers to retailers in order that :+; * wholesalers might not use the exJ: tension of credit as a means to ob- . tain actual control over a number of retail outlets. A second successful amendment also would prohibit .any other type of financial en- » ~ tanglement between these two types -« of permit holders.

Introduced by Baylor

The credit amendment was introduced by Rep. Claude L. Baylor (D. Speed) who said: “A great number of package stores in this city probably are being financed by wholesalers on a credit basis who carry the’ proprietors of these stores on open accounts and actually control these stores.” County control boards make recommendations to the State Com- ~ mission on issuance of tavern li- °~ censes. At present these local o; bodies are composed of a represenow »-ative named by the County Com- = ‘misSioners, oge by the Mayor or ‘w=. «head of the town board of the larg- " ®* est city or town and a third mem- . Jer chosen by the State Commission. L. BE! York, Indiana Anti- Saloon .. League superintendent, attacked »* the present board organization bes+ ~ “cause he said the third man named “by the State Commission “almost + invariably is a wet.” He asked that Hp - -local communities be given the right - >to elect this third man.

Baylor Objects

Under the amendment adopted by “the committee the third man would pe named by the judge of the Cir- ; Hh Court. Rep. Baylor objected to .giving |the State Commission no . representation while Rep. J. Chester "Allen (D.. South Bend) ‘said he im © ls to see this third man

chosen by some nonpolitical civic or .,.. religious group.” i - ar Only Rev, Bower objected to the #: - flat midnight closing amendment, ~~ “and this proposal also was attacked during the public hearing by Richard McCracken, representing the Indiana Retail , Alcoholic Beverages Association. Mr. McCracken said such a closing provision could not ““pe enforced in large cities, while 2 Mrs. Frank R. Wilson, speaking for the Women’s Christian Temperance nion; asked for an 11 p. m. closing provision.

Carry. Outs Would Be Stopped

To Fo ~*... When permits for carry out sales “&¥ ow held by grocers expire, there would be no reissuance, under another amendment ‘adopted by the committee. Aniamendment also was « 4dopted to forbid - revocation of , Lig only for political reasons. < Several representatives of tem-] ims perance groups at the hearing said 2 they were not interested in the meaw chanics ‘of the present bill since Fa they thought it made no improveYY ments over the present act. ‘Charging that sometimes the State Commission had issued tavern .licenses over the wishes of a ma- |. .jority of persons in local communities, Mr. York asked for a local op-s+-dion provision. A local option bill “.now is pending in the Senate as is mr thle liquor measure drafted by the - Senate Democratic caucus. Both the Republican and DemoI “ gratic bills provide for abolition of " The importer system.

HEAR DEAN GAVIT IN BAR INQUIRY

Probers Continue to Sift Methods of Testing Law Graduates.

Dean Bernard Gavit of the I. U. law school was to testify this afternoon as the special committee named by the Supreme Court re-

sumed its investigation of the State Board of Examiners’ methods in admitting law graduates to the bar. Mr. Gavit also is a member of the Taw Examiners Board and was to precede Will Shafroth, American Bar Association representative, to the stand. The committee was appointed by the Court: following repeated criticisms of present examination methods and a proposal to give the Court power to admit graduates to the bar without examination.

Charges Unfairness

Ralph Crum, an insurance claim agent of Indianapolis, told the committee this morning that the present method of examination was “unfair in determining whether or not a person is capable of practicing law.” “If a man is not competent, let

the schools stop him before he spends five years time and money,” he said. “By placing the law schools under the strict supervision of the Supreme Court and admitting graduates of those schools without examination, the schools can become the place to weed out those who are unfit.” At last week’s sessions the Committee heard students criticize the examinations as “unfair” and Dean Joseph G. Wood of the Indiana Law School suggested that grading of papers be less “severe.”

Urges Changes

also was recommended by the dean.

He further suggested a committee of |} the four deans of the approved In-|} diana law schools to act only in an |§

advisory capacity, but to have the

right to review all papers of stu-|§

dents who failed the examination. Board’ members besides Gavit include Judge Julian Sharpnack, Columbus; Milo Feightner, Huntington; Lenn Oare, Bend, and Alan Boyd, Indianapolis. The Supreme Court committee includes Chase Hardy, Crawfordsville; Albert H. Cole, Peru; Clarence Merrill, Indianapolis Bar Association president; Charles A. Loew, Lawrenceburg, former Dearborn Circuit Court judge, and Abram Simmons, Bluffton.

‘OUR LAYAWAY PLAN

BACKS MEASURE | REGULATING OIL, GAS PRODUCTION

0’Connor of Frankfort Maps Amendment for ‘More Protection.” at

Rep. Timothy : c. O'Connor (R. Prankfort) today defended the State Conservation Department’s bill to regulate oil and gas production and announced he will introduce an amendment to the measure “to protect further the Southern Indiana | § producers.” The Vanderburgh County delegation in the House announced yesterday they would seek to delay consideration of the bill until they “heard from home.” The chief criticism from the downstate represenfatives was provision for a “quota” system which they feared would interfere with the small scale] production in their territory. The amendment, which Rep. O'Connor plans to introduce, would |% exempt all wells producing five bar- | rels or less a day from any quota regulation while the original bill set 10 barrels or less as the minimum capacity well to be regulated.

Reported Favorably

The bill was introdued a week|% ago‘and was reported out favorably by the Natural Resources Committee, headed by Mr. O'Connor. It is scheduled for consideration on second reading in a few days. Mr. O’Cennor said the bill would | “prevent the recurrence of the sit- : uation which prevailed in northern| i Indiana during the natural gas boom, in which the State’s gas resources were exhausted through sheer waste.”

“This bill is so worded that the State and its citizens may be protected,” he said. “It would prevent the inefficient storing of oil from any pool. in excess of market demand and the/drowning with water

of any strat capable of producing} i oil or gas.” ; ;
