PAY LITTLE HEED Indiana Legislature Expected to Overlook Requests From Institutions ASKING MORE MONEY Declining Living Costs is Given as Reason for the View of Legislators (United Press Service) Indianapolis. Dee. 29. —Members of the 72ml general assembly convening here next week are expected to pay ] little heed to the requests of state institutions and state governmental departments for greatly increased appropriations with which to carry them through the next two years. Many of the legislators conceded that there is need for more money in nearly every instance it is asked, but in view of the declining living costs and the dropping costs operation they take the position that the entire amounts asked are not necessary. Hence, the law makers are expected to lop off some of that asked at the same time boosting the appropriations over those of the 1919 session. A survey of the legislative history of the state and a digest of some of the requests are granted. In this connection, those department and institution heads asking mor> money are manifesting much interest in the probable personnel of the house ways and means committee to which all appropriations referred upon their introduction in the lower body. A somewhat lesser interest is shown in the senate financing cemittee which will be at liberty to tentatively remould the money bills when they com* over from the house. The speaker of the house will appoint all house committees and for this reason the persons who want higher appropriations are watching the fight for the speakership. The-, want men favorable to their views on the ways and means committee. Likewise they are turning their eyes toward Martinsville the home of Emmet F. Branch, lieutenant-governor elect. It is understood that Branch already is working on the personnel of the senate committees he will appoint an dthose have special measures for presentation to the legislature want their kind of men on the committees ti* which ihcir bills will I ref< red. •
