Two important measures went into the house Friday. One was the I administration free text book bill 1 I introduced by Representative Wil* 1 ; Ham Black, of Anderson and 30 oth-' er house Democrats as co-authors, i and the bill aimed at gasoline boot* • loggers Introduced by Represent-. ative Scott Pickens of New Albany.' The free text book bill carries | out the recommendations of Gov-1 I ernor Paul V. McNutt in his mess-, 1 age to the legislature and the plat- ■ form pledge of the party at the June convention. The bill gives the folks free text books if they want them by providing that township trustees, and school superintendents in cities and towns may : purchase school books and give them free to pupils on petition of: 50 per cent of the resident fre i holders in the school corporation. It is estimated it) the office of the superintendent of public iustrucI tion that the tirst year of free books, provided all school corporaI tions availed themselves of the provisions of the bill, that it would cost approximately 11,800,000 maximum. Floyd 1. McMurray, superintendent! of public instruction said that in ' some communities of the state, the state already was buying half the • school books, under the poor relief law. Twenty states have some form of free text book law. The measure as introduced may be amended to include parochial elementary schools although the present draft refers only to public schools. The bill provides that the state board of school book com- ‘

non. Meanwhile, Ernst Lubitsch has found no story tor the next Dietrich production. This is a story that the late Forcnz Ziegfeld would have appreciated. During the height of the showman's reign at the New Amsterdam theater, it often happened that his productions lagged in preparation. When friends would inquire, Ziegfeld usually replied: •'l'm waiting on the script.” “Who's writing it?" they would ask. “William Anthony McGuire," the showman would explain and the friends would shrug understandingly. Came Ziegfeld's death and Samuel Goldwyn essayed to take up his mantle—for the screen at least. Goldwyn’a productions, too, were delayed in preparation. Friends asked why and were told he was waiting for the script. Who was writing it, they wanted to Tcnow? And Goldwyn would answer: “William Anthony McGuire." More understanding shrugs. Out at Universal, the same McGuire. now a producer, is readying one of the screen's major biographical efforts —"The Great Ziegfeld”. Month has followed month and still no camera grinds. The other afternoon, a pal asked McGuire why. “I’m waiting for the script," he replied. “Who Is writing it?” asked the pal. •I am," said McGuire. V.’l.at red-headed assistant director bought a drawer-full of expensive lady's handbags but decided at the last minute not to give them out at Christmas? He has all the girt friends on probation for another month.

: missioners shall select the books | and the local school officials abrll i purchase the books direct from book contractors at the price agreed : in contract between the state board and the book contractors. The books remain the property of the sschool corporations. The bill also j provides that pupile wanting individual books for their own may purchase them. Tile gasoline bootlegger bill provides tliaf no person, motorist or traveler shall enter Indiana with more than 15 gallons of gasoline in his tank without paying the tax i 1 I thereon. The bill is aimed at the | i gasoline bootleggers and also at large truck carriers which load up , with several barrels of gasoline and carry them along as extra supply.

A sympathetic friend called to ask what was the matter. “I don’t know," said Mrs. Joe E, "but I think It’s an athletic heart” Reading here that Willard Mack had left very little money, many of his pals hastened to offer aid to his widow. She doesn't need the help now. but it is a warming gesture, proving that the show business doesn’t forget its own. And is especially fitting In this case. For if all the money that Willard Mack passed out to friends were in his estate now. his widow would never have to worry for the rest of her life.

Two bills were withdrawn in the house. Representative Chester Parker, of Pittsboro and George I Matthews of South Bend, withdrew their bills which would eliminate the emergency clause in the $1.50 tax law. passed at the 1933 session. This bill drew a lot of “heat" and had the emergency clause been eliminated, would have held all tax rates to the $1.50 limit without exception. The house resolution calling on congress to continue lite Home Owners Loan Cot pot ation, already passed by the lower house, was passed by the senate also without a dissenting vote. Those persons who were looking for “fireworks” and rebellion among the members of either bouse, so far are disappointed, for the wheels of the legislature are grinding noiselessly and thus far there has hardly been debate on any bill before either house. The biennia! petty loan bill was introduced in the house by Representative Harry Shull, of Auburn; Charles L. Coffin of Marshall; Glenn Slenker. of Monticello and James A. Moody of Fremont. The bill would cut the present interest rate on petty loans of S3OO or less, to one and a half per cent per mouth.

LIVING COSTS TO GE HIGHER Substantial Increase In Living Costs Predicted By June 1 Washing! n, Jan. ”1 (UP)—The New Deal recovery clvirt forecasts •substantial in reas in the coat of living by June 1. President Roosevelt has told con-1 feieas that a rising scale of living costs will be accompanied during the first six months of thin year by a general increase in values which will lessen the difficulty of pjying debts. The administration is favorable to increased prices and plans, ultimately to attempt price stabilization at some level so far undisclosed and probably undetermined. There is no official justification so far for assuming th it Mr. Roue ■ velt’s objective is stabilization at the 1926 1 rice level. Official upward trend forcesls are conditioned on hope the United States supreme court will decide the administration p ssessed constitutional HUthority when it abrogated th? gold clause in private and governmental securities. Democratic politicians generally predict a favorable court decision They base their judgment largely upon a famous remark: “Trade follows the flag and the supreme court follows the election returns." Further d liar devaluation does not figure in administration 'Xpectations that living costs will increase iu the next six months and perhaps for two or three years thereafter. The dollar is to remain at its present 59.06 vents gold value pending international discussion of currency stabilization. ’lncreased enxploynwnl, u greater volume of business turnover and the expenditure f Mr. Roosevelt's 14,000.000,000 (B) recovery and r - lief budget are expected by New Dealers to carry prices to a higher 1 vel without further cheapening of the dollar or recourse to printing . ress money. The trend of living costs is indicated by labor department statistics on wholesale prices. Latest figures for the New Year reveal th' highest level of wholesale comm dity ■prices since Jan. 19'31. T ie dep:rtment uses the average of 1926 prices as an arbitrary index of I'JO. o COURT HOUSE Petition Approved ,In the Matter of the Liquidation of the Peoples Loan and 1 rust Co., liquidation.
