DISCUSSION OF MEASURE LEADS TO DIFFICULTY (CONTINUED FROM PAt’3 ONE) per cent of the 1930 budget. Senators Joe Rand Beckett, Republican. Indianapolis, and Byron Huff, Republican, Martinsville, introducied it. Beckett estimated that the bill would reduce levies In Indiana by approximately $33,000,000 for the next two years. "Rather than increase revenue for maintenance of local governments, officials should cooperate in reducing expenses," Beckett said. 1 "There has been a cry for economy in government, and this bill would bring about that end." i finder terms of the measure, the state board of accounts would be given complete authority to examI ine all budgets for the next two years ami cut the appropriations in any and all instances where officials failed to reduce expenditures 25 per cent. A bill introduced by Senator William B. Hoadlry, republican, 1 Bloomington, would require use*of Indiana products whereever particable in construction of public build ings in Indiana. The committee on judiciary B was expected to report the measure favorably today. Maintenance of auto license branches in each county in the state ]jto be located in the court houses is ; provided in a measure introduced ] by William V. Doogs, Cannelton. , The measure would taka from meI tor organizations and others the privilege of distributing the licenses. J A measure providing that railroad trains carry red lights at intervals of 15 feet on both sides of cars wa» placed before the senate by Roy M. Friedley, Republican, Mun cie. Another measure introduced by . J. Clyde Hoffman. Republican, In- ! dianapolis, would provide for election of all judges on separate, non I partisan ballots. Candidates would be nominated by political parties. In the Legislature Indianapolis, Jan. 28—(U.PJ —The state senate's committee investigating highway department relations with the federal government had before it today a maze of I figures from which it hoped to decide whether affaire were as they should l>e with the road commis- , sioners.

Senator Charles Strey, Republican. Wabash, has charged that gross inefficiency brought about a curtailment of federal aid funds during the past year, and he [ attempted to have this charge sub-! stantiated at a committee hearing | last night. For two hours members of the committee interrogated R. E. Simpson, chief clerk of the highway department, who came armed with minutes of highway commission meetings of th» last ten years. Bis recital concerned the financing involved in highway expenditures of $17,155,602 in 1930. Simpson's statements in brief set forth: 1. The commission matched less federal aid money during 1930 than in any year since 1923. 2. Mitigating factors in this were the rapidity of construction, aided by favorable weather, thus draining highway funds; and less titan the contemplated revenues from gasoline taxes and license fees. I Faulty judgment may likewise have been a factor, Simjieon admitted. SORORITY WILL HELP CHARITY (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ami needy people. Many young girte in Decatur have Iteen able to attend college [ through the help of the Tri Kappa sorority, which has loaned them | money without interest. For the last year, the sorority has furnished warm lunches for a Mexican boy, who was a victim of tuberculosis, and was instrumental in placing the boy in a sanitarium. I The organization, at present, is providing fruit and eggs, together with articles of clothing, for a small boy, also ill with tubercu-[ losis. The tournaments, which have' been planned for the purpose ot furthering this work, . will take place in the entertaining rooms of the Elk's Home, and a committee, has been appointed to have charge [ of the arrangements for each of the three events. A committee [ lias also been chosen to secure the prizes tor the event, which will be displayed in the windows of merchants in this city. It is the desire of the Tri Kappa sorority, that the public will en-1 courage this work by purchasing [ tickets and taking part in Hie tournament. —„ .—,—Q —-— — Three Youths Heid At Ann Arbor, Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan.
