GOVERNOR TO OUTLINE LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM

The Republican state committee I will meet at the Hotel Severin, Indianapolis, February 26,. when a date will be fixed for the Republican state convention, matters relating to the next primary will be taken up and party policy will be discussed. Governor James P. Goodrich will atend the committee meeting and discuss a program for the next special session of the state legislature which probably will be called before the primray election. Governor Goodrich has asked the mem- ! bers of the state committee, candidates for the Republican nomination for state offices and other Republican leaders to make suggestions about the program for the legislative session, which it is aimed to make as short in duration as possible, Governor Goodrich has said that as far as he is concerned he will leave the legislators free to make any change in the tax law they see fit, and it is not ancipiated there will be changes which will materially affect the vital provisions of the law. Some other matters which will likely come before the special session will be an appropriation for a state war memorial, a “blue sky” law, a child labor law, changes in the election laws so as to provide better for women voting, and some other iriatters relating to county government.
