Cold Wave Expected Here
Tomorrow Night; Rain
or Snow Today.

Approach of a cold wave tomor-
row night, borne on the wings of
snow, sleet or rain tonight and to-
morrow, was forecast today for In
dianapoliS, by j. H. Arlington,
United States weather observer.
The lowest temperature tonight
probably will be slightly above freez-
ing, Mr.. Arlington said, but the
mercury may slide to zero tonlor-
row night.
Snow, sleet or rain was forecast
for the state generally.
Indianapolis had to do without
the traditional white Christmas. A
thin layer of snow which fell
about noon yesterday was washed
off the streets by a. cold drizzling
rain, some of the snow remaining
on lawns.
There was heavy snow at Kokomo,
Marion, Charlottesville and Fit.
Wayne and other northern points.
Charlottesville reported one of the
worst snow, sleet and rain storms
in it's history. Rain and sleet put
two-inch covering on a five-foot
snowfall and made driving hazard
GUS.
Many minor accidents were re-
ported.
Rain and sleet at Vincennes, Rich
mond and Anderson converted high
ways into layers of treacherous ice
and automobile traffic had to pro-
coed almost at a crawl.

The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-12-25

The Governor carefully has
refrained in recent weeks
from committing himself pub
licly on whisky legislation.
Some time ago, however, he
expressed himself as opposed
to the state store plan.
Whether he thinks the state store
system offers too much opportunity
for graft or whether he objects to
putting the state into business il
problematical.
Senator George Sands, Democratic
holdover from South Bend, has
state store bill already drawn and
plenty of support. He was assured of
plenty support. He was regarded
in the session two years ago as an
administration man, but if he per-
sists in his state store endeavors,
may incur the Governors dspleasure.
The Sands bill embraces ideas
similar to those incorporated in the
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Michigan
laws.
The measure would place control
under a three-nnan commission,
members of which would be ap-
pointed for three-year terms by the
Governor.
Many Bills Are Expected
No member of the commission, ac~
cording to tentative provisions, can
have either direct or indirect con-
nections with any liquor business
nor car he have held any public
office for five years prior to appoint
ment.
State stores could be established
on the basis of one store to every
10000 of county population and
where the population of a county is
less than 10000, the commission
could designate a liquor agent.
It is regarded as extremely prob
able that scores Of similar bills will
be introduced both in the house
and senate, promising busy session
for the public morals committee,
which has the preliminary handh :
Of such legislation.
Proponents of the state store idea
are strong for it chiefly because of
the high whisky prices which have
prevailed in Indiana since repeal be-
came effective.
Advisory Group at Work
Whether state stores can be
operated prof1tably is, perhaps, an
other matter, but a comparison by
brands of the price lists in other
states with the prices charged in
Indiana leaves no doubt that the
state store consumer gets better
deal.
The Governors liquor advisory
commission, appointed shortly after
repeal became effective, is supposed
to have been inactive in recent
months and the Governor is re-
ported to have entrusted the adj
visory task to a group whose iden-
titles have been kept secret, so there
would be no leak
This groups reported activities
include the consideration of the
following ideas:
Confinement of the sale of hard
liquor to reputable eating places;
establishment of an enforcement
unit, possibly a larger group of
excise inspectors or a unit of the
state police; broadening the law
combining package liquor sales to
drug stores, but shying away from
the state store idea; high license
fees for by-the-drink establishments
and relatively lower license fees for
places desiring to serve only wine
and beer; reduction of the state tax
on hard liquor; banning hard liquor
sales in roadhouses, taverns and re-
sorts outside city limits.
