Monday Evening, December 12,1938 LOGANSPORT PHAROS-TRIBUNE PAGE THREl Changes in Indiana Liquor Law Are Foreseen Importer System May Be Abolished Liquor Study Commission Will Make Recommendations for the Legislature Which Will Gather in Session January 5. INDIANAPOLIS, Dec. 12--(UP)--Revision of Indiana's liquor'control laws, particularly the controversial beer importer system, wi'l be one of the major issues to come before the 1939 state legislature. The pre-session consensus was that the importer system would be abolished. It was subjected to vigorous Republican attacks during the last two years, the general public apparently dislikes it and the brew industry desires to see it changed.

Gov. M. Clifford Townsend has not stated whether he favors its abolition but the liquor study commission which he is expected to appoint soon may make some recommendations. The governor probably will reserve judgement until his regu'ar message to the legislature when it convenes Jan. 5.

The importer system has been attacked widely, especially by Republicans, because the licenses are dispensed as political plums. Each of the 14 permits issued last year, 12 of which have been renewed this year, was given to a firm owned or controlled by persons high in Democratic circles. This also is largely true of the wholesaler licenses. Public opinion apparently has reacted against ibis method of par- celling out licenses to the politically faithful. Many times it has been recalled that pledges were made during the early days of repeal that politics and liquor would be divorced and maintained in that status.

Indiana's brewing industry is opposed to the po.rts-of-entry for more practical and realistic reasons. In the first place the importers are promoting the sale of outside beer in competition with Hoosier products. The more foreign beer they can persuade iers to consume, the more money goes into their pockets. And second, the system has brought grave threats to the sale of Indiana beer in other states--threats that if car- ried out would cripple Indiana breweries irreparably. The importer serves as a "brok- er'' for beer produced in other states.

No foreign beer may enter Indiana except through a port-ot- entry. The importer purchases beer at an out-of-state brewery and then sells it to an Indiana wholesaler. He makes a. small profit, generally estimated at from two to seven and a half cents.per case, on each case sold to a wholesaler and naturally tries to promote the sale of his product. His success is attested by the fact that 31 percent of the beer consumed in Indiana is produced in other states.

Beer produced in Indiana is sold by the brewer directly to the wholesaler and there Is no go-be- Lounging Robes: Really what we have been busy doing, in the past few months, is searching for new ideas, new fabrics, and new designs, and they're here in all their Glory We want you to see our very extensive showing of Dressing robes in Silk or Wool.

Seeks $500 from Three Railroads farmers Vile Suit In Local Conrl (o Collect for Loss Soffit-rod Charging that the defendant railroads through alleged delay in shipment of cattle from Columbus, Ohio, to Indianapolis, caused the plaintiffs loss, George and Henry Gross, doing business under the firm name of Gross Brothers, filed suit against the Pennsylvania railroad, St. Louis- San Francisco Railroad company and the Louisville-Nashville Railroad corporation asking payment of $500. The suit was recorded in the local circuit court through the law firm of Jenkines and Jenkines. The plaintiffs charge that on August IS, 1937, the defendant company agreed to pick up 36 head of calves and 25 head of cattle at Columbus, Mississippi, and deliver them in Indianapolis time for an early market August 20.

Delays at Radnor, Tennessee, and at Louisville, resulted in the shipment not arriving in Indianapolis until August 23 by which time the market had dropped and the cattle had become so gaunt that the plaintiffs could not sell them but were forced to ship them to their farm. The damage sought includes extra pay to feed the cattle en route to the market and cover the lose in cash brought about by the reduction in price.

The guards didn't shoot, the center was shoved from the best rebound', positions and the forwards wanted their points in a hurry, but it was evident they were ot championship caliber. Carl Hall and Bob Bolyard know all the trick in ball handling and are-deadly accurate from the offensive positions at the sides of the court; Jim Glass, towering pivot man, has all the spring necessary to pick 'em off the boards; and the uards, Don Hire and Don Berry effectively control the ball.

An old feud which will decide i loop leadership is the Aurora North Vernon game on the Rec Devil floor. Both have lour wins each in the Southeastern confer ence.

Most interesting in the Norfcl Central conference, where the An derson Indians are on a rampage is the Muncie-Logausport scrap Friday.
