BIRD SEYE VIEW (CONTINUED ON PAGE FIVE) , have Introduced bills to completely repeal the primary laws. Senator Thurman A. Gottschalk. Adams, Blackford and Wells, said that the budget would be ready for introduction In a few days. It is reported that an increase In the budget will be necessary because of the severe cuts made two years ago. All increases will be for maintenance of institutions, which have been permitted to run down considerably. No salary increases are in the offing. A recodification of insurance laws is popular and more stringent regulations for selling stocks and bonds in Indiana will be Introduced next wee'x with administration approval. John B. Stoneburner, Adams county, is serving for a two-week period as door-keeper in the sen-1 ate, at the recommendation of Nathan Nelson, Democrat county chairman. Hopes of adjourning early are fading and it is highly probable that an extra session in a few months will be necessary. The pari-mutuel racing bill, legalizing betting at race tracks in Inl diana has a lot of support in both houses. There are also a number of movements to block the legislation. It is believed that almost all of ; the administration measures will be thrown In the hoppers next week and early of the week following, and a number of pet meas- i ures of legislators will be forced i to the background. If Adams county people are con- ’ templating a visit to the general j assembly, the best time probably will be the next ten days. o HEALTH BOARD CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONI? not known. Teets conducted recently in the Gary school system, I however, disclosed that five per cent of the pupils were not im--1 munized by the regular treatment. The health board also urged smallpox vaccination for young children. Older persons as a rule were vaccinated during the epidemic a number of years ago but young children have not been immunized against the disease in recent years. . The board stated that the num-1 ber of colds and influenza cases in the city has abated greatly. The form of quarantine used in influenza cases has proven of great aid in halting the spread of the disease. o BILL PROPOSES CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE court. The amendments are based ; on Richberg's study of the decision and its application to th* l NRA. May Set Up Minimum Prices They provide that when emergencies result from unfair compe- j titive practices within an industry. due to destructive price cutting, the Governor, upon request, and after a hearing, may establish minimum prices for the product involved. The established price shall prevail in the area from which the request for the hearing originated. The Governor also is authorized to determine the period during which the order shall be effective. The former bill, which was introduced by Representative John ffapier Dyer of Vincennes, had no provision for regulation of prices '

in easer where severe competition brought the cost to the consumer below the combined commodity and marketing figure. The measure, as amended, gives the governor greater power over regulation of trade than any executive of Indiana ever has held before. It is a diitfnct Innovation in state control of competitive marketing. —— —o Bandit Hits Girl Teacher, Who Tabs License No. Afcron.

INDIANA FARMS FACE GOOD YEAR Lafayette, Ind., —(UP)— Rising 1 farm prices and a more profitable period of farm operation are in prospect for Indiana farmers in 1935, according to a survey conducl- , ed by the agricultural division of Purdue University. Farm Income increased slightly in 1934 and the survey indicated the trend would be upward for the next five years. (Income was found to still .provide little more than bare necessities, however. The summer’s drought eliminated burdensome surpluses and is expected to place farming in a more advantageous position with respect to Industry, the survey showed. Another effect of the drought, however, was a sharp reduction in the supply of feed craps, expected to act as a serious impediment to permanent recovery. The supply factor will be a dominating Influeence in the price of farm products during 1935 according to the survey. o _ —. Massachusetts State Note For 50 Pounds Worthless !
