CROP CURTAILMENT
URGED BY SETTLE
Plan Would Aid Hoosiers,
Farm Chief Says.

The form of Uncle Sam strides
between the wheat shocks, or near
farm binders, to aid Hoosier farm
ers, William H. Settle, president of
the Indiana Farm Bureau, told
members of the Central States
Grain Association in the SEVERN
Thursday.
A stable price, between the 1888
price and the pre-war COST will be
paid to growers who agree to a
1884 crop curtailment of 20 per
cent of the average acreage of the
last three years, he said.
If the agreement is signed by Sept.
Is to control the crop any wheat
grower will receive a pro-rated av-
erage price for this years crop.
The plan is part of a three-year
progress of the recently enacted ag-
ricultural marketing act.
Settle forecast the recent spec
ulative market rises in wheat prob
ably will drop rapidly when new
wheat goes on the market.
G. E. Huff, Chicago, president of
the Farmers National Grain Cor
poration, spoke at the meeting and
declared that cooperative selling
of grain is the only solution of the
price problem.

DRAUGI1T BEER FOR STATE BANNED
BY DECISION OF SUPREME COURT
Unanimous Verdict Handed
Down in Upstate Case
by High Bench.
FANSLER WRITES RULING
Justices Merely Hold Lake
County Judge Exceeded
His Jurisdiction.

There will be no draught
beer this summer so far as
the Indiana supreme court is
concerned.
In unanimous opinion handed
down today the high court made
permanent writ of prohibition to
prevent Councilman John Tenkley
from serving draught beer at his
East Chicago bar.
Whether or not draught beer can
be banned forever under the present
beer control law was not gone into.
That will be settled on direct app
peal.
The final test can not be made
before fall, when the judges return
from summer vacations.
Writ Made Permanent
The court made permanent the
writ merely on the grounds that
pro tenn Judge E. Miles Norton ex-
ceeded his jurisdiction in Lake
superior court, when he issued an
injunction against arrest on Tenk-
ley for draught beer sales.
Attorney-General Philip Lutz Jr.,
whose Office procured the writ Of
prohibition from the supreme court,
held the view that a lower court
can not enjoin enforcement of a
criminal law.
Defendants in the case put up the
plea that the beer control setup is
not criminal law, but merely a
form of licensing and taxation and
that the lower court was we'll with
in its rights in preventing its en-
forcement on grounds of unconsti-
tutionality
Legality Is Undecided
Whether or not the law is uncon-
stitutional remains undecided. The
draught beer provision will be di-
rectly challenged when the Tenkley
case is on appeal
In addition, there is the Abe Ro-
sen suit, already appealed, which
questions the entire beer control law
on constitutional grounds.
Today's opinion was written by
Justice Michael E. Fansler.
Under the beer control law only
bottle beer may be bought in In>
