Of the woman who had lost the
pocketbook and the $40 bill.
The boy scout asked her if she
had lost the article and the
money. Yes, the woman re-
piled, she most certainly had.
So Meyer handed them both
over to her without delay while
his kid brother looked on.
The woman was very kindly
about it.

are a real little man. And Just
because you have been so nice
about it, I am going to give you
half the money as a reward.
Here is $40 for you"
She removed a $40 bill from o
nearby vase and extended it to
the youth. But Meyer shook
his head.
Lady" he returned, IT can't
take dot money becuzz I am a
member of de boy SCOTS and I
must do a good deed every
day."
He stopped suddenly and
pointed to his little brother.

he added. "Give it to him. He

Final responsibility in utility mat

and the new public service commits
sion Setup, now rests with Cover
nor Paul V. McNutt, De Pauw uni
versity students were told Tuesday
night.
The speaker was Howell Ellis, In
dianapolis, retired G. o. P. member
of the old public service commits
sion.
Ellis spoke on utility regulation
as commissioner at the school last
year. He returned, upon invitation,
to make an address on changes
thought about under the McNutt
regime.
Changing the personnel of the
commission meant "a distinction
without a difference" Ellis said, and
declared the new regulatory law is
approved by the large utility in
terestS.
"A new deal does not always mean
that the public will hold a better
hand" he pointed out. "A new deck
does not always mean there are not
marked cards"
Among the marked cards" he
cited the changes in the law, points
of which he said are unconstitu-
tional, and the contention that
municipal ownership has not been
made easier, as promised.
He condemned selection of tech
nical personnel of the commission
staff by purely political methods,

By CHited Press

the boy witness, that he was going
to use the knife to stick up" a pea
nut vendor, and that he wanted
young Bender to practice on. They
got Billie, the young witness said,
and took him to the abandoned
house.
First" said Johnny, Harry tied
up my neck and hands, saying he
wanted to show Billie how it was to
be done. Then he tied up Billie by
the neck and arms. Billie said, I
suppose when you get me all tied
up you will throw me out of the
window.
Then Harry covered his face
with rags and said, See if you can
yell Billie yelled and Harry pulled
the rags tighter. See if you can
yell now Harry asked him. Billie
yelled again, but not so loud. Then
Harry pulled up Billie's lumber
jacket and his shirt.
Ct am going to put my finger
on the spot where We'll stab the
peanut vendor Harry said. Then
he took the knife and stuck it into
Billie'S bare chest. I said, o, gee,
Harry!"
Medical experts said the knife

PRINTING FREE
AT INDIANA u.
University Press Now Is
Listed as Organ of
Republican Party.
BY ARCH STEINEL
Times STAFF Writer

The elephantine limbs of the G..
o. P. straddled the Indiana Univer-
sity Press of Bloomington, publish
ers of the Indiana Daily Student,
today. It was revealed that pro-
grams for the recent Republican
Editorial Association meeting in In
dianapolis were printed by the Uni
versity Press without cost for the
state Republican editorial body.
The Press, although operated by
its editorial board on a nonpartisan
basis, is listed in the handbook of
the Republican state committee as
an organ of the party of Hoover and
Ogden Mills, former treasury Sec
retary.
Advance notices of the dinner,
given at the Columbia Club for
Mills in his talk in Indianapolis on
the night of April % on Currency
Inflation,' were printed under di-
rection of G. E. Van-Valer, super
visor Of the universitys publishing
company.
University Provides Material
The paper was furnished by the
university, the tWo-color ink blaz
Cning, Hear Ogden Mills Friday
Mite" the presswork, and the fold
ing was done by printers and limo
type operators hired by Van Valer
under contract with the university.
Postage only was furnished by the
Republican editorial association.
Van Valer admitted today that the
program had been printed at the
university.
But we've done the same thing
for the Democrats and their edito-
rial association" he retorted.
Fleming Denies Assertion
In reply, Wray Fleming, presi-
dent of the Indiana Democratic
Editorial Association and publicity
director for the Democratic state
committee, said:
THE Indiana University Press
never has printed anything to my
knowledge for our party's editorial
body In the last two years, Clar-
ence Wolfe Of New Harmony and
G.. c. Brodhecker, Brownstown pub
Usher, have printed our programs
I've been a member of the editorial
association for years, and to my
knowledge, I've never heard Of the
colleges press doing our printing" !"
Van Valer conducted newspaper
clinic at the April meeting of the
G. o. P. editors and is listed in
the program he printed at the uni
versity as publisher of the Gas
City Journal"
In the Republican handbook of
1882, the Press" of Bloomington
with G. E. Van Valer, publisher, is
listed.
Van Valer Is Blamed
The city has only one Press,
the college printshop
Walter Leach is listed as editor
and publisher of the Gas City
Journal in the handbook.
I'm not editor of the Gas City
Journal now, but still am interested
financially in it," Van Valer says.
Faculty advisors of the Indiana
Daily student and it's editorial staff
place the responsibility on the list
ing of the Press as a Republican
organ on Van Valer.
Charges have been made that the
printing cost to the university has
been higher than if some of the
work was done by town shops in
Bloomington.
Brochures for college depart
ments, publicity, and work for
sororities and fraternities is done by
the Press, in addition to the
printing of the Daily Student.

BEER LAW IS
VOID, PLEA OF
MARTIN LEVY
Control Act Violates Both
State, U. S. Constitutions,
Brief Declares.

Indiana's beer control law violates
provisions of both the federal anc
state Constitutions, it is declared ir
brief filed Tuesday in municipal
court by Charles j. Karabell, at
torney. Karabell is counsel fol
Martin Levy, operator of
restaurant at 833 South Meridian
street, arrested April % on charge
of selling beer without a license.
Russell Dean, deputy prosecutor
is under rule to file reply brie1
upholding the beer law May 16
when Joseph T. Markey. municipal
Judge pro tenn, plans to decide the
case.
Karabell contends the beer law
violates the Fourteenth amendment
to the federal Constitution which
provides that a state shall not de-
prive any person of life, liberty or
property without due process of law
nor deny to any person, within its
jurisdiction, the equal protection OF
the laws.
Violation Is Charged
Violation of the following section
of the state Constitution is averred
"The general assembly shall not
grant to any citizen or class of citi-
zens privileges or immunities which,
upon the same terms, shall not be-
long equally to all citizens"
THE act offends the due process
clause of the federal Constitution
because no provision is made for a
hearing before any tribunal, judi
cial, or administrative, upon the
denial by the excise director of any
application for a permit, and there
is no appeal from his decision" the
brief states.
Regarding the purported viola
tion of the state Constitution, it is
stated:
Permit holders to manufacture
import or to wholesale, are granted
hearing upon notice before revo-
cation or cancellation of a permN
to manufacture, import or whole
sale, but no notice or even a hear
ing with respect to a retail permit
holder. This is an unjust discrim-
ination."
Taxing Measure, Is Claim
The beer law, it is contended, is a
taxation measure despite inclusion
of clause which asserts it is "an
exercise of the police powers Of the
state" the brief continues.
In support of this theory, it is as
serted that fees provided in the beer
law are in amounts which produce
much more money than is needed
for regulation of beer traffic and
therefore, the law is in effect a tax
ing measure, despite being self
branded as regulatory.
Another contention is that as beef
has legal status as a nonintoXica-
ting beverage, the state has no more
authority to regulate its production
and sale than it would any other
drink which is Misunderstanding.
