found at last “a non-controversial liquor bill.” With half a dozen other liquor measures causing fights at every turn, the legislators look on the “Fair Trade Bill” as a welcome re-

lief. This bill is designed to prevent

“price-cutting” and “rebates”: in the retail liquor industry with temperance as its ultimate goal. It was introduced last week by Rep. Glenn Markland (R. Zionsville) and was referred to Rep. Markland’s Public Morals Committee.

Clergymen Ask Passage

The committee held a hearing yesterday and two clergymen appeared to ask for its passage. The Rev. F. S. C. Wicks, pastor emeritus of All Souls’ Unitarian Church, described the bill as a “decided step toward temperance.” - “Fair trade in the liquor trade does not exist now and as a result the liquor traffic has been stimulated,” he said. Rabi Elias Charry termed the bill *a matter of public morals.” “If we don’t get honest and sane administration we will have something again like prohibition,” he said. W. R. Higgins, 12th District G. O. P. chairman, said the bill follows the New Jersey law which has decreased consumption of hard liquor materially in that state.

May Curb : Bootleggers

" He said that many times the wholesaler will give the retailer extra merchandise as a premium for buying large quantities. The retailer then may sell the extra quantity to bootleggers at a slightly -reduced price and the bootlegger in turn will sell the merchandise on Sundays at a slightly increased price, he said. “The Fair Trades Bill will kill this practice,” Mr. Higgins said. The Public Morals Committee voted unanimously to report favorably on the bill. In the Senate, the Stout Bill to get up liquor control under bi-parti-_san local boards was reported out of Committee wtih two amendments.

Change Appointment Plan

One provided that one member of the board be appointed by the @ounty Council instead of the Circuti Court judge as originally was planned. Judges asked the change. The other three members would be named by the County Commission- - ers, the Mayor o fthe largest city in the County and by the State Excise Board

Senator Orville Stout (R. Vincennes) told the Committee that G.!O, P. leaders had agreed to sidetrack its original bill, another measure also sponsored by Rep. Markland in the House, and to support the Stout Bill. - Rep. Markland said there probably would be a combining of the two measures before a final Seluiion is reached.

There is little possibility that any Peed would risk the hazard of trying to subdue Singapore wholly by sea action.
