BILL ABOLISHING
COMMISSION is
SENT TO DEATH
House Kills Combs Measure
to Wipe Out Public
Service Board.

Because utilities would be per-
mitted to operate without state reg
ulation, the house of representatives
today killed the Combs bill to abol-
ish service commission.
Although the house almost unan-
imously favored adjustment of the
commission, the bill was defeated
because it provided no substitute
control for utilities.
Attempt to amend the measure to
begin enforcement of the act in 1888,
after substitute control measures
could be enacted by the next legis-
lature was defeated when propon-
ents of the bill urged adjustment
of the commission be left to the
1888 general assembly.
Weiss Leads Opposition
Representative Jacob weiss
DEM, Indianapolis, led the OPP
position with the declaration that
passage OF the bill would create
a chaotic condition" leaving utll-
tiles to operate with free reign and
no government supervision.
The house and senate today
Jointly moved to recall from Gov
ernor Harry G. Leslie the gas tax
and license fee redistribution bills,
parts of which were held uncon-
stitutional by Attorney-General
James M. Ogden following passage.
The bills would increase shares OF
cities and towns by one-fourth, and
would reduce share OF the state
highway commission in the same
amount.
Favor Chain Tax Bill
The house ways and means COM
mittee reported for passage the
amended chain store tax law, under
which companies now operating
more than twenty stores, would pay
$3.50 tax on each store, instead OF
the present $25 tax.
A senate bill providing for Gre
alton of state purchasing board
was defeated when the house
moved indefinite postponement.
The house received for passage
bill which would deny aid to per-
sons who refuse to work for trus-
tees poor supplies.
Senate Bill Killed
Under lash of being new tax
burden on the home owner" the
senate bill providing for so cent
filing fee tax on each 500 of
mortgage filings, went to its death
in the house by indefinite postpone
ment. It would have raised $1,000
900 annually, its supporters con-
tended.
The house also moved forward to
third reading the unemployment in
surance bill which would give $40
weekly to unemployed persons for
only ten weeks in a year.
One accomplishment of the spe-
cial session became a reality today
when Leslie signed the McKesson
bill suspending for two years the q
cent educational improvement fund
levy.

And a splintering, inevitable

turn of beer through revision
of the Volstead acts stern defini-
ton of the word Intoxicating.
Members of the illicit liquors in
dustry will find it difficult to COM
plete with the dispensers of legal
beer.
In the decade preceding the
World war, lager beer made up in
volume more than 90 per cent of
the total annual sales of all alco-
holic beverages in the United
States.
If this situation is revived and if
beer is distributed through grocer
les and food establishments the
bartender in the speakeasy will be
forced to hang up his towel and
search for a post behind an Or
ange-drink stand or soda foun-
tain.

cordial shop chains will be forced
to break hundreds of leases.

Beer once was the king bever-
age. That is why, it is said, the
prohibitionistS vehemently are
fighting the return of the 2.75 to
4 per cent type, which is consid-
cred comparatively innocuous by
many brewers, many physicians.
The drys remember that brew
cries once manufactured more
than nine-tenthS of the liquor
consumed in the country-a sig
nificant fact-and controlled over
81 per cent of the entire liquor
capital. They remember that
brewers owned or controlled most
urban saloons, and that many of
the old brewers we're powerful Sec
tional politicians,
The militant dry leader, D.
Leigh Colvin, once remarked:
Even TO permit the near-beSr
breweries to operate is like toy
ing with rattleSnakeS!"
Prophetic observers say the
transitional period Immediately
following the revision of the Vol
stead act will be a time of ex-
Fermentation, of fierce struggle,
Of rapid social changes.
They say the attraction of the
speakeasy undoubtedly will wane
under stiff competition, but the

not be easily snapped.

Coming Generation Stops Tonight Race Track Drama Tops Bill Tomorrow
YOUNG PEOPLE
 ARE FACED WITK
 HARD PROBLEM
Are These Our Children Will Show for Last
 Times Tonight

The sins of modern parents may not be visited upon their chill dren today, according to Wesley Ruggles, film director-lbut those sins do Isolate the younger gen. eration."
 Modern disregard for law, the enactment of foolish laws, the farce of trying to enforce them, the disclosure of adult America s helplessneSs to halt gang5ber rule and ether corrliption-it is these things which have created a uni que younger generation" Ruggles declares.
 Not So Precocious
 Our youngsters of sixteen or twenty aren't so precoclous as we think. They have had their inde- pendence forced upon them. The adults, they can see, are in a grand muddle and seem unable to grcpe their way out of it. What can the youngsters do but real ize that they must depend upon themselves? Why should they turn to adults for counsel and advice whose inability to cope with mod ern problems of life is so palpable?
 On Their Own
 No, our youngsIters are on their own. They are facing the might est problems an American genera tion has ever faced. and if I may venture to say so, facing it brave ly at least. Perhaps they may succeed where we are helpless; perhaps this iildepedennce of their is the salvation of our country?'
 Are These Our Children?" will be shown for the last times to- night at the Capitol theatre.
 Howard Estabrook wrote the dia- logue.
 The cast includes Eric Linden, Rochelle Hudson, Airline Judge, Ben Alexander, Roberta Gale, Rob ert Quirk and Mary Kornman.
 The extras" in many scenes are real high school youths, facing the camera for the first time.

FRENCH HIDE , GAMES PLANS
Much Secrecy Prevails Re. garding Competition
 in Olympics

PARIS, April 23-The French should win the hide seek con test at the Olympic games in Los Angeles if the completeness with which they have concealed their plans and headquarters is any in dication. Only the scandal con- isscted with the disbaring of Jules Ladoumergue, sensational miller, finally smoked them out.
 Even then Charles Denis, ad- miniStrative secretary of the French Olympic committee, when finally discovered in small office on the Boulevard Haussmann, declared - well, that there was nothingt to declare.
 Nothing, ne stated, lis settled as yet"
 But the government has voted an appropriation of $120O00 to be spent on senaing athletes to Los Angeles to represent France
 "Af1," he said. Quite SO" We are, I must admit, much better off than other European coun- tries. But even so we can send a very small number. At Am cterdnm we had 250 competitors. At Los Angeles we shall have only sixty five
 M Denis shook his head sadly over the fact that Jules Ladou- negue, who has run the mile in minutes 9.2 seconds, had been and labeled profes- sional. The matter. he agreed, vas by no means finally settled.

COURT BACKER
SEES STATUS
ASIN 1925

The League Court fight was
thrown into greater confusion
today when Senator Pittman Cd
Of Nevada, one of the friends Of
the tribunal. predicted the Sen
ate would propose American ad.
herence to tiff at all-upon the
same terms which European ma
tions rejected in 1925.
Senator Pittman, long a pro-
court leader, declared the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee
would write old Reservation 5"
into the resolution of ratifica-
ton. -
This reservation, which forbids
the court rendering any advisory
opinion against the United
States, led to rejection Of the
American terms by the other
signatory powers six years ago.
Pittman's declaration threw
the fight back into the position
It occupied in 1925.
