Ashurst Blocks Stanley Amendment In Anti Beer Bill Fight
Washington Aug 18 The Stanley amendment aimed at protecting home land and property from liquor searches faces a stalemate as Senate and House conferees argue over its terms. Senator Ashurst vows to block any report unless the amendment stays exactly as written, saying the House substitute would legalize home manufacture. Conferees warn the bill may be delayed until fall as negotiations continue amid opposition from prohibition leaders. Wayne Wheeler’s secret presence draws Senate rebuke, while leaders weigh whether the measure can reach the President before recess.

Strike Snag in Tax Valuation
Indianapolis officials face a tax levy dilemma after city controller Bryson reported a 1922 property valuation of 185,901,260, far below 1921 totals. Deputy assessor Graham questioned the figures as incomplete for public utilities. A possible $22,000,000 drop could raise the levy from 2 to 4 cents per dollar, with further checks to utilities and banks possibly narrowing the gap.
