TAX OFFICIAL
GROOMED FOR
SENATE RACE
Clarence A. Jackson Listed
as Candidate for
McNutt Favor.
BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY
Times Staff Writer

Clarence A. Jackson, director of
the state income and sales tax di-
vision, was being listed today as the
latest McNutt possibility in the
Democratic race for the United
States senatorial nomination.
Governor Paul v. McNutt declined
to comment on the matter.
The report was based largely on
the appearance of Mr.. Jackson as
the author of a series of newspaper
articles donated to Sunday papers
throughout the state.
These deal with the fine accom-
plishments" of his bureau and were
taken in the nature of a trial bal
loom"
Peters Backers Hopeful
The Governor last week stated
that he wanted to see many entries
tried out before announcing any
administration choice. Meanwhile,
the hackers of r. Earl Peters, TT.
Wayne, former Democratic state
chairman, are claiming that even
tually the administration will sup
port him.
First of the trial candidates for
the administration, if not for the
Governor personally, is Sherman
Minton, New Albany, public coun-
selor. He took the public service
commission position with the idea of
building a statewide reputation in
rate fights which would assure him
strong support for the senatorial
nomination.
Thus far, his success has been
somewhat Indifferent.
For some weeks past, the name of
Mr.. Jackson has been introduced
whenever the administration pos
sibilities we're being mentioned.
Former Legion Chief
He is a former state commander
of the American Legion and comes
from Newcastle. With the aid OF
Keith Johns, publicity expert and
now secretary of the Democratic
state committee, Mr.. Jackson has
been able to put over the income
and sales tax with less heat than
was anticipated.
During the legislature, the bill was
most vigorously fought by business
interests and manufacturers.
So successful was the salesmanShir
in connection with this department
that certain administration leaders
feel that they can accomplish tIle
hitherto imposSible-nominate a tax
collector for a major post.

REEN BAY, Wis, Dec. 18.-
- Mrs. Mabel Naylor walked
about her small upstairs fiat to-
day with steady step, watching
her two small daughters with eyes
that are seeing for the first time
after twenty-one years Of blind
ness.
Frequently, the young mother
stepped to a window for a look at
the funny" automobiles that
whizzed past in the street. Each
time the sight of a person walk
ing in the street or of the blue
sky brought forth exclamations Of
delight.
The Indianapolis times., 1933-12-18

Il guess we have all the Christ
mas We are going to have, right
now" Mr.. Naylor said. There's
been no money coming in and so
I haven't been able to get any
thing for the kids. OF course,
they're not old enough to know, it,
but they've got Christmas enough
riht now, with their mother home
and able to see them"
Mrs. Naylor never had seen an
automobile until she was brought
home from the hospital in one.
Street cars, radios and all other
newer inventions are like furnish
ings from a new world to Mrs.
Naylor.

Chemical analyses revealed
that some whisky blends did
not contain any whisky at all,
which even the flexible regu-
lations of the internal reve-
nue. department provide.
After comforting with health
board members over the weekend,
DR.. Morgan today asked Herbert
Spencer, assistant city attorney, to
craft an ordinance which would curb
the sale of synthetic whisky unless

city could act through the section
of the city general code which gives
it supervisions over alleged "un-
wholesome" food
Bootleg Whisky Arrives
Whisky is regarded legally as
food, it was explained, and while
medical authorities admit the types
of blends that contain nothing but
alcohol and water are harmless,
they also charge they have no med
icinal value.
Passage of the ordinance under
suspension ofsrules will be asked, it
was announced, and this would
make it effective at once, if signed
by the mayor.
Meanwhile. reports to The Times
showed additional flouting of the
state liquor laws took place over the
weekend.
Several truckloads of bootleg, T.
year-old blended whisky, not recti-
fed, were brought into Indianapolis
and are selling, minus the state tax,
at $135 a pint.
1000 Gallons of Wine Sold
From reliable sources, it wasl
learned that approximately 1000
gallons of red wine, heavily cut with
alcohol and water, and minus tax,
were sold in Indianapolis over the
weekend.
The price. it was reported was
S2.75 a gallon Wine experts say
ton of grapes will make $50 gallons
of wine. The consignment which is
reported to have reached Indian
apolis is alleged to have been cut g
per cent with alcohol and 80 per
cent with water to realize a large
profit and supply the necessary
kick"

The Credit Side of the Prohibition Ledger!

countries where legalized liquor helped
to build the highest peak of postwar
crime in history.
Prohibition and Economics
Prohibition did not annihilate eco
nomic distress, but it did bring about
a more equitable division of the pay
check of industrial workers so far as
the wives and children of those work
ers were concerned, and thus helped
transform the economic and social
status of American labor which class,
with their families, represents about
four of the nations population.
Prohibition did not make everybody
rich, but it did divert vast millions Of
expenditures for liquor into other
channels, such as those represented
by dairy products, soft drinks, candy,
radios, automobiles, entertainment and
recreation in general.
Corruption in Government
Prohibition did not do away with
corruption in government and politics,
but it did decidedly lessen the amount
and extent of that corruption which
was directly related to the liquor traf-
fc of the old era when that traffic
largely dominated the economic, social
and political life of the nation; and in
addition thereto it did reveal sources
of corruption which probably would
have remained hidden if the old liquor
regime had continued.
A Worthy Standard
Prohibition did not revolutionize the
social order in the interest of the Col
den Rule, but it did erect social
standard which though far from full
realization belongs in the class and
shares the social significance of the
abolition of the slave trade and do
mestic slavery, the emancipation of
women, the Punishment of human sac
rifces as a superstitious rite, the rise
of public education and the revolu-
ton in behalf of popular government.
Education and Prohibition
Prohibition did not eliminate illit-
eracy but during the brief period OF
