DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, DECATUR, INDIANA.

SKIP ELECTION BILL (Continued From Pago One) Sen. Elgar 1. Higgs, R., Connersville, said he opposed it because he did not “believe that the legislature has the right to extend the term of office of any elected official.” As approved, the recodification bill follows the majority recommendations made by the state election codification commission. It differed with tlie commission proposals, however, on three major points. The GOP bill sets up bi-partisan registration hoards only in the seven most p&pnlbus Hoosier counties. The commission had recommended bi-partisan boards in al) counties. Another provision requires central ballot counting in the same seven counties only in primary elections. Central counting in all elections and all counties was recommended by the commission. Certificates of error to correct registration mistakes and omissions were legalized in the hill, whereas the commission had favored the acceptance of affidavits at precinct voting places. Shunting of the election bill to the house increased the woes of Republican majority representatives who were divided on the question of proposed administration liquor control legislation. Administration leaders sought for three'hours at a GOP house caucus last night to draw up compromises which would satisfy all groups, but failed to gain full approval and left debatable points in the ‘tentative’ stage. Caucus spokesmen said that another caucus would be held on the question of reorganizing the alcoholic beverage commission, assessing $3,000,000 to $5,000,000 in new excise taxes, changing hours that taverns may operate and licensing dealers and salesmen. Although there wete vigorous off-the-record dissents caucus leaders said the Republican representatives had agreed to double the present excise tax on liquor, raising it from $1 to $2 per gallon. Original plans called for a 50cent hike in the liquor tax and a 100 percent increase in the beer tax from the present four cents to eight cents a gallon. Agreement also was announced on the banning of dancing in taverns; prohibiting against children entering places where intoxicants are sold; setting tavern'closing hours at 11 p. m. on week days and midnight on Saturdays, and establishing fees of $lO on liquor salesmen and $1 for tavern employes who serve intoxicants.
