The amended measure provides for a maximum fine of S500 and a jail sentence up to six months for any violation. One of the amendments reduced the state license for wholesale liquor dealers to $25 a year and for retail dealers to IS a year. The amended measure provides that the proceeds of license sales and prescription fees, 50 cents a pint, shall go to the state general fund. Speaking for the measure preceding the roll call. Stanton asserted that the hill "represents a mandate from the people.H "Those who are sincerely drr and who practice what they preach have my respect," said Representative Stanton.

Tor those who vote dry and then go out and buy liquor I have nothing out scorn. They are nonentities. We, the authors of this bill, say to you that the people of Indiana want restored to them the Inalienable rights granted to our ancestors by the Declaration of Inde pendence. This state Is governed by a two party system, and quite recently delegates met In convention under the two party system. Two thirds of them voted for the repeal of the Wright law.

That Is a mandate from the people whom, you represent. They and we believe we must return to the fundamentals bf government before we can end this chaotic condition and restore prosperity."

In England ale, and in Ireland whisky. Why cant we be cosmo politan and offer a little bit of 's' Opposing the measure, Representa tlve Thad Adams (Ren. Hend ricks) predicted that the enactment of the measure would spell "the end of the Democratic nartv in Indiana Turning on the state platforms of his own party and that of the Democrats, Adams said that a platform "is snnpiy a guoea hook or snare to catch suckers." He questioned validity of the penal clause In the measure.

I aay, put the liquor in tee eaioon ana not in the drug stare, which will be the devil's recruiting office." Challenging the sincerity of house liberals, Adams said that "the liquor business never did pay anyone any money." Closing, Adams said that the bill, should it pass the house and senate and become a law, would come to be known as the "Jake Weiss dol lar drunk law." Representative James M.

Knapp (Rep, Wayne), former Speaker of the house, said he at last had become convinced that the bill was a "relief measure," asserting that it was "for the relief of the thirsty." Knapp ex pressed doubt as to validity of the bill's title. Further debate on the measure was stopped when Stanton moved the previous question. But several representatives took advantage of the right to explain their votes as 'their names were called by the roll clerk.
