ATTACK TRUST LAW
Business Men Ask Changes
in Sherman Act.

By United Prese
WASHINGTON, Feb. l0.-Agita-
ton for changes In the ANTITRUST
laws has gathered such momentum
IN recent months that government
ofncialS believe some modification
certain. Action at the next session
OF congress Is considered likely.
Widespread discomfort with the
existing laws has been expressed by
business groups In communications
to the commerce and justice depart
ments and the federal trade COM
mission.
What business men want Is more
certainty; they regard the existing
situation as too vague" C. J. Jun
kin, commerce department CONNER
cial law expert, said today.
Under the present system, there
is no assurance the government will
not start Sherman law prosecutions
even after tentative approval Of a
merger.

istration Of Indiana World war

committee In considering bill call
ing for extension Of the special six
mill tax levy from 1881 to 1894 In
elusive.
The committee heard spokesman
from the war memorial trustees.
Veterans Of Foreign Wars and the
American Legion; Edward G.
Schaub, state commander Of the
Foreign Wars Organization, express
ing hostility to the continued levy
unless we are given representation.
Referred TO as RAT Hole"
Indicating a willingness to APP
propriate enough money to finish
the interior Of the memorial, the
committee obtained assurances from
Marcus Sonntag, Evansville banker
and president of the board of trus-
tees, that no more demands on the
state would be made. Representa-
tive John M. Cantley (Dem.. Cass)
expressed the sentiment Of one
group Of committee members when
he declared this memorial Is a rat
hole in which we're pouring money"
YES" as long as the cow gives
milk, these fellows will be coming
back for MORE" contributed Repre-
sentative Earl Crawford (Dem.,
Union and Wayne).
Schaub asserted he was refused
figures on the war memorial
maintenance and salary costs when
he applied at the office of auditor
OF state and obtained them only
through Intervention with the state
BOARD OF accounts by a member of
the legislature,
Slap at High Salary
zone fellow, know, is getting
$500 month for doing little more
than watch the grass grow" Schaub
told the committee. He said salaries
paid out Of the memorial funds ap-
proximate $4,000 year.
Representative Fred s. Galloway
(Dem., Mar1on) who appeared with
the foreign war veterans, asserted
a member Of the state board of &C
counts has told me there Is more
graft in the World war memorial
than in any other branch Of govern
ment." He refused to name. his in
formant when pressed by members
Of the committee.
Extension Of the six-miII levy
would give the memorial commits
sion 100000 in addition to the
$4,000, 900 already expended.
The committee held the bill I'M
der advisement. It voted last week
for indefinite poStponement, but re-
considered until a hearing could be
held.

STATE SENATE
PASSES LOCAL
BUDGET BILL
10 Per Cent Reduction of
City'S Expenses Provided
by Measure.

BY q bare majority the Indiana
senate today passed, % TO II, and
sent to the house Of representatives
the Beckett bill requiring q 10 per
cent reduction In local govern
mental budgets for the years 1881
and 1882 under the figures for 1929.

reductions would entail discharges
or reduced wages for public officials,
teachers and police and flremen,
and so deter recovery from the eco
homie depression.
To facilitate the budget reduc-
tons. the Beckett measure would
suspend local mandatory levies SUI
ficiently to permit the 10 per cent
cut.

Cities Face Water Famine
IF Drought Continues

whether or not a city in the
area is short on water depends
upon whether it's water supply
has been adequately developed.
A great many municipalities
have been on the border line
between supply and demand for
water and the drought has en-
phaSized the need for addi-
tiOnaI supplies
In many communities in the
drought area. cities and towns
have had to tap new sources of
supply, in many suburban cen
terS, water is being hauled to
homes.
One of the notable exceptions,
according to Hoyt, is the Ma
tional Capital, the present water
supply system, he said, will care
for the city's estimated growth
in the next 40 years.

Alcohol No Common
Cause For Liver
CirrhOSiS

BALTIMORE, March 26
GN.SD.-Physicians today dis
cussed the statement of DR..
Albert M. Smell, of Rochester,
Mimi, before the American
College of Physicians that ex-
cessive drinking of alcohol does
not commonly cause cirrhosis
or hardening of the liver.
DR.. Smell said that contrary
to the prevailing theory of doc
tors, .cirrhosis occurs in only
about per cent of cases of
alcoholism.
Cases of cirrhosis that are
caused by alcohol comprise
about half of the total, he said,
other causes being diseases of
the gall bladder, infectious
fevers, and bile duct disorders.
