Hewitt Measure Is Most Important Passed So Far Sen. Nejdl Leads Fight Against Administration On Measure To Shear State Tax Board Os Its Power Over Local Bond Issues; Measure May Never Become A Law, However; Legislative Apportionment Bill Not Expected To (Jet Far.

By Walter A. Shear! (Written for the Daily Democrat) Indianapolis. Ind.. Feb. 23 —Slapping the administration of Governor Ed Jackson directly in the face Senator James J. N-jtll (Rep Like) president pro tern of the senate, aided by ( arl Gray (Dem Pike an;! Gibaon). Monday led a tight which resulted in passage of the Hewitt measure shearing the state tax board of its power ever local b uid is'-ues ami giving home rule Io the various counties by delegating the p wer to Ihe circuit over superior courts. Tlie measure Is the most important action yet taken by the Seventy fillii general assembly and the tax board and the contracting material men conductMl an insidious lobby against the nu asure, all to no purpose. With the solid Democratic minority with one exception for the bill and the farmer u'ji k shattered the measure passed b> a majority of bne'vote 28 ayes and 20 n >es. It is presumed that an attempt w 111 l>e made to reconsider the vote and a further attempt made to kill the measure. It is.certain that if the measure dets go to the lower house it will pass with colors flying and then it will be up to the Governor to veto the measure to stand by his state tax board. The n.ensure, although it may never bec me a law indicates the trend am mg tee legislators with reference to the b mills ant! commissions as now constituted, the charge being that the state boards are usurping power neve intended for them by the legislane. To date the Public Service Com mission, the state t ix board ami the s:ate board of accounts have been tind -I tire. A bid is p nding which will emit the powers of the state beard f accuonts to a mere auditing body Senator Alonzo Linnley t Rep Fotinlain, Warren and Vermillion) leader of the farm bloc imide a sm oeh against the measure, but the farm bloc was divided '.‘ii the nuasure. N< ither could Nejdl control the administration crowd who broke away from him and voted against the measure. The only Demo ret voting against the measure was Senator Joseph Crave ns, which was considered suprismg in the light o € his former position as to the state boards and commissions. Senator Nejdl's independent action in leading a fight against one of the Governor's pet boards, is a further indication ol the lack ol leadership or control over the legislature by the ciiief executive, or members of t b s ■-n ' ' ■ u it ’»* ■■ uh a laMi wodld place the power over millions of dollars in local bond isues for roads Jitchts, schools and other construction in the hands of the circuit or superior court, or in other words places. in,ii<*atlors were today th <t the legislative apportionment measure which is now in the house will never see the light of day in its present form As it now stands the measure is nothing more than a gerrymander bill with the Democrats and the tmti-abu'mis-

Hendricks and Morgan, two more overwhelming Republican counties and Montgomeiy is linked with Boom , classed as doubtful, This eradicates one Democratic seat in the senate and the House Another example of the gerrymaudr is taking Sullivan a Dem-’ ocratic county and placing it with Knox, another Democratic county and placing Vermillion, a Republican c >un-! CHILDREN'S SORE THROAT Mothers know that children's sore throats are serious, of en leading to tonsilitis, scarlet fever or diphtheria. Also that it. is hard to treat because tin- usual remedy is a gargle , and children cun not gargle. A famous physician's prescription 1 called Thoxine works on new principle—goes direct to the cause not reached by gargles and patent medicues an<l brings relief within 15 minutes or money back.

QUICK RELIEF FROM CONSTIPATION That is the joyful cry of thousends since Dr. Edwards produced Olive Tablets, the substitute for calomel. Dr. Edwards, a practicing physician for 20 years and calomel’s oJd-t.me enemy, discovered the formula for Olive Tablets while treating patient.; for * 'Tii'ninicconsi-.Datinn-anrl iq'-t-iih.. I Olive Tabletsoonot contain calomel, just a healing, soothing vegetable laxative mixed with olive oil. No griping is the “keynote” of these little sugar-coated, olive-colored tablets. They cause the bowels and liver to act normally. They never force them to unnatural action. If you have a “dark brown moutii"bad breath—a dull, tired feeling—sick headache—torpid liver—constipation, you’ll find quick, sure and pleacant results from one or two of Dr. Edwards’ Olive Tablets at bedtime. Thousands take them every night to keep right. Try them. 15c, 30c, 60c.
