WRIGHT HARDLY
WOULD KNOW
HIS OWN LAW
House Vets Amend Weiss
Bill LeagiIzing Sale of
Medicinal Whisky.

The Wright bone dry law will
look like piece of SWISS cheese if
the general assembly passes the
Weiss substitute measure, which was
amended in the house of represent
atives Tuesday afternoon and kept
on second reading so members would
have opportunity to study it.
House vets strengthened their
lines and met the objections of the
less liberal when they amended the
Weiss bill to provide for liquor law
enforcement, but knocked out the
obnoxious features of the Wright
law.
The Weiss bill repeats the Wright
law, legalizes the sale of medicinal
whisky with a tax of so cents a
pint; reduces the fee of the prose-
cutor in liquor law convictions
from $25 to SIS and the fines for
drunkenness from $40 to 500 to 81
to $50.
Other penalties are slashe0 ap-
proximately 80 per cent.
Penalties for drunken driving are
the same as in the Wright law, as
are the sections referring to COM
mon nuisances and officers failing
to enforce the law. The following
sections are killed by the eiss bill:
1t is unlawful to possess a still,
providing penalties for transporta-
ton of liquor; making it illegal to
advertise liquor; and the section
comforting police authority upon
conductors of public conveyances.

CITY PLEA FOR
MORE GAS TAX
NEAR SUCCESS
Larger Share of Fund to
Be Allotted If Bill Is
Passed.

Indianapolis appeared to have
won its fight for larger share of
the gas tax and auto license fund
today as the house Of representa-
tives prepared for final action on
the fund redistribution bill.
Under an amendment passed on
Tuesday afternoon in the house the
city's share in the $z5,0O0,00O fund
would be more than doubled and
Marion county's share would be re-
duced
In the hottest fight staged in the
house during the special session,
representatives from cities and rural
districts clashed as cities sought to
obtain larger shares.
Sponsored by the entire Marion
county delegation, the amendment
would permit the county to dis
tribute it's share at its discretion.
The amendment does not apply to
other cities.
More for Indianapolis
It provides that indianapolis
shall receive one-third of the
county's share. The bill stipulated
that the state shall receive so per
cent of the fund as compared to it's
present share of rs per cent.
OF the remaining so per cent, &C
cOrding to the bill, cities would re-
ceive one-fifth and counties the re-
manning four-fifths. One-eighth of
the four -fifths would be distributed
according to populations, and the
remaining seven-eighths according
to road mileage.
indianapolis is the only city
whose shares will be increased
under the amendment.
Deserts Other Cities
Several members of the Marion
county delegation appeared to have
deserted the fight of all cities for a
larger share, after passage of the
mendment for indianapolis. It had
been indicated at hearings that
cities would stick together" in the
fight to reduce share of rural sec
ton.
Representative Albert Walsman
Dem), Indianapolis, hacker of the
amendment, voted against another
amendment which would have given
all cities one-third share in the
fund.
After introduction of the amend
meRt, the fight began when Delphi
McKesson, Plymouth, Democratic
floor leader, charged that Indian
apolis had, in the past, wasted it's
share of the fund and that its pro-
portion should not be increased.
He attempted to steam roller"
the bill to engrossment after the In
dianapolis amendment had been
passed, prohibiting possibility of
another amendment increasing
shares of all cities.
HandOut Is Charged
Representative John M. Cantley
(Dem), Logansport, charged city
representatives with seeking a
''handout."
We'll, if you're going to redis-
tribute this tax, do it with some
semblance of equity" retorted

Goodness is the clue to quality In a

utterly free of hot-burning artificial
favorines.
