SENATE HERETICS FEEL WRATH OF PARTYREGULARS Democrat Who Praised Coolidge Recants In Nick of Time. Bu Times Special WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—One more party hertic has recanted, unable to reslat the terrific pressure for party regularity which is being exercised by leaders of both parties, especially in the Senate. Democratic leaders tied Senator Nat Dial of South Carolina to the spike Wednesday for his recent ' speech in. which he censured his fellow party leaders, and said President Coolidge was a better Democrat than some of them. But just as the Democratic chieftains weer about to set the burning torch to the kindling, Dial repented and asked that his speech be stricken from the Congressional Record. Wrath turned to rejoicing. “Thank God for that expression of good faith from my colleague,” murmured Senator Smith of South Carolina. Senator Hetiin of Alabama had sust risen to flay the hide of the Heretic Dial. But Robinson of Arkansas, majority leader, sprang to protect the helpless penitent from the impending torture. Incident Closed “If the speech is withdrawn, the incident is closed so far as I am concerned and it should be so far as other Senators are concerned,” Robinson said. “If the Senator withdraws hi. speech, I hive nothing to say,” Heflin replied. And there was rejoicing on the Democratic side over a wandering sheep returned to the fold. Such scenes are now a daily occurrence In the Senate because some members take (t>o literally the rule of the Senate which permits freedom of debate. They are not confined to the Democratic side of the chamber. In fact both parties have so many errant members to deal with that they have taken time off on alternate days to air their grievances on the Senate floor. Even more unenviable is the position of those unfortunates who failed of renojpination or re-election

—the lame ducks. Sterling of South Dakota has been the'butt of a particular amount of heailess jibings because to him fell the task of leading fight to uphold the President’s veto o fthe postal pap bill. Luscious Plum “Since the election the Senator from South Dakota has changed his position, v ’ Heflin said, commenting on Sterling's attitude. “I believe I can see dangling before his eyes a fine and luscious plum in the way of an appointment to some fat, Federal office. Sometimes I can see him looking up anxiously at it and tlp-toelng as he stretches forth his hands as if eager to take it in his grasp.” "I wish I had the imagination of the Senator from Alabama,” Sterling interrupted. “I think the Senator would much prefer the appointment,” Heflin retorted. Behind much of the personal criticism and caustic humor on the floor is the set purpose of leaders on both sides to tighten party -lines &nfl exterminate insurgency. An insurgent always has an unpleasant time, and his life has never been so miserable as it is just now. 0 LEBANON MAN ELECTED Township Assessors to Fight County Unit Bill. E. A.

BRANCH URGES STRICIECONOMY (Continued From Page 1) budget clerk and the budget advisory committee,” he said. “We must not be misled by false sense of economy in dealing with them.” More For Reformatory Branch asked for appropriations necessary to complete the State reformatory at Pendleton to relieve overcrowding there and at the State prison at Michigan City. “The higher educational institutions of the State are already overtaxed and the Legislature is confronted with the task of providing moro and better facilities for the institutions,” the Governor said. He recommended that the budget advisory committee be made a permanent State body,* to be appointed by the Governor on the first of Da cember preceding each sessio nos the Legislature. This committee, he said, should be composed of one Republican and one Democrat from the Senate and one Republican and one Democrat from the House. Defending the elastic features of the present budget law. Branch said the transfer of State money from one fund to another was amply safeguarded by the law and had brought about good results In' the administration of institutions. He recommended that all departments and Institutions be required to submit an annudl Inventory to the budget clerk.

Check on Pay Increase* He asked that increases In pay for State employes by heads of departments be subject to approval of the Governor. Turning to the question of the inlieritance tax, he recommended that the Legislature memoralize Congress to repeal the Federal Inheritance tax and suggested revision of the State law to Insure better collections of fba tax. “Our present policy of indifference cannot b? continued,” Branch said, in discussing conservation. “The State should levy a small tax for purchase of cheap land to be used in reforestation and should make provision for extension of the system of State parks.” The Governor referred to the indictment of constables operating out of the court of Justice Rainey in Indianapolis for wholesale arrests under the workmen’s compensation law. and said the law should be revised to keep industrial cases in the county where they originate so that employers cannot -be blackmailed. Drastic Auto Regulation A law making It mandatory on courts to revoke auto drivers’ licenses when they were found guilty a second time of exceeding, a maximum speed limit of thirty-five miles an hour on country highways, was advocated by the Governor. He said the law should also make It mandatory on the court to revoke the license of any driver operating his car while under the Influence of liquor. Safety of highway traffic also requires that a limitation be placed on the width of motor busses and trucks, he declared. The Governor called for enactment of a law to prevent organization of utility “holding companies” and to prohibit one utility from holding stock in other utilities. He also advocated requiring utilities to pay the costs of appraisals made by the public service commission whether a rate increase is granted or not. If the Legislature increases the gasoline tabc one cent and re-enacts the 1923 schedule of auto license fees, the State highway commission will have approximately $38,000,000 available for road construction and maintenance during the next three years, Branch said In urging reenactment of the 1923 schedule he pointed out that the present license fee rate is the third lowest in the United States. The Governor called for a general revision and codification of election laws and asked for restriction of the right to place tickets on the ballot

by petition to "prevent self-seekers from getting on the ballots.” Asks Repeal He asked for repeal of the emergency sheriff law because Its privileges had been abused. Branch voiced his opposition to the proposal to build a State library on the World War memorial plaza in Indianapolis, saying only buildings for patriotic purposes should be located there. The great need of the National Guard, he said, Is for the construction of more armories and repair of those already owned by the State. Half of the annual appropriation of the guard now goes for armory rentals, he declared. A 'few individuals with a political following can control the primary elections in Indiana, the Governor asserted, In asking revision of the law. He estimated that there is a total of $163,760,900 in non-taxable securities held in Indiana and recommended taxation of all bonds. Asks Staff Increase Control of State banks and trust companies In receivership should be placed In the hands of the State banking department. Governor Branch told the Legislature. He reoommended increasing the staff of the banking department so that all State banks can be examined twice a year in accordance with the law. He also urged enactment of a law to make 20 per cent of the capital of a bank the loan limit unless secured by real estate mortgage or government bonds. The Governor asked for clarification of the prohibition laws, more adequate provision for care of tubercular, patients at the State sanitarium at Rockville, establishment of a fire sinking fund for State institutions, a law requiring officials handling public funds to be bonded by a surety bond, better provision for the care of State records, and for the bonding of all companies writing liability or compensation insurance. Commissioner of Safety The department of public safety which the Governor recommended be established as a unit of the public service eommmlssion would consist of a member of the commission designated as “commissioner of safety,” with an advisory committee of seven persons appointed by him to serve without pay. He advocated vesting the commission with authority to require installation of property safety devices
