APPROPRIATION BILL RETARDED BY SENATORS Amendment Checks Usual Speedy Enactment of Measure. Proposals for salary boosts to four legislative employes kept the biennial legislative appropriation oill from its usual speedy enactment today. Appropriating $150,000 for legislative expenses, the bill introduced in the house by Representative Sam J. Farrell, chairman of the ways and means committee, was passed under suspension of the rules twenty minutes after the house was called to order. Sent to the senate, following Governor Harry G. Leslie’s message, the bill was moving alog smoothhly until second reading. Senators had a disposition to amend it to provide for cleaning and “rehabilitating” the upper house chamber, but decided to accomplish by other means. Boost Employes’ Pay Amendments prepared by Senator Denver C. Harlan (Rep. Wawne), president pro tern, and presented by Senator Alonzo H. Lindley (Rep. Fountain, Vermillion and Warren), increased from $6 to $lO a day the pav of secretary of senate, principal clenc of the house, and the principal doorkeeper of each house. Senators Jphn L. Niblack (Rep. Marion) and Andrew E. Durham (Dem. Montgomery and Putnam), cast the only dissenting votes on the amendment. On third reading the bill passed, as amended, without opposition, and was returned to the house, for concurrence in the amendment. Because the house had adjourned until Wednesday at 10 a. m„ the measure cannot be sent to the Governor until tomorrow. The senate adjourned until 3 p. m. today. Members of the house today are expressing general satisfaction with committee assignments announced late Monday by Speaker James M. Knapp. Marion and Lake county representatives who had felt some apprehension, found they were accorded a full share of the honors and berths on important committees. Noll Made Chairman

CUBA SUGAR INTERESTS TO FIGHT TARIFF BOOST Contest Move to Protect Domestic Producers. Bu United Press WASHINGTON. Jan. 15.—Cuba and Cuban sugar interests in this country are preparing to wage a vigorous defensice battle against any increase in tariff duties on sugar imports entering the United States. Domestic sugar interests demanding an increase in duty of 3 cents a pound on sugar is necessary for protection of the United States sugar producers are certain of meeting determined opposition not only from United States sugar magnates with Cuban interests but also from the Cuban government itself through the customary channels of diplomacy. Cuba enjoys a preference of 20 per cent in the American market and is the only foreign country shipping here. The Cuban government already has moved to place its views regarding any increase in tariff before the authorities here. PAIR NOT BANK BANDITS Irvington Officials FaH to Identify Two at Kokomo.

Economy Stressed by New Governor in Opening Address to Legislature

In his first message to the legislature, Governor Harry G. Leslie today said: , Ladies and gentlemen of the sen* ate and house of representatives, members of the seventy-sixth general assembly of the state of Indiana: It is the theory of constitutional government that intimate relations should exist between the executvie and legislative departments. Consonant with that custom and in harmony with our constitution, I regard it my duty as Governor to communicate with you at this time and at any other time during this session when in my opinion public welfare warrants such action. You are to be congratulated on account of the confidence reposed in you by the electorate of your various legislative districts because of your having been selected as their representative in this budy. You should not be unmindful, however, of the great responsibility imposed upon you as well as the confidence reposed in you. Asa result of thic responsibility, it becomes your duty to reflect credit upon your constituency, your community, and our beloved state by enactment of only such laws as are constructive, wholesome, and beneficial to society in general and oppose such proposed legislation as is prompted by mercenary motives ana will reflect discredit upon the state. I, therefore, recommend that you scrutinize carefully and consider fully all bills submitted for your action. I further recommend that all legislation involving the expenditure of public funds be considered as thoroughly and carefully as you would the expenditure of your own personal funds, and employ the same standards of prudence and gpod business practices that you employ in the consideration of matters per taining to your most important personal economic welfare. It is an inexorable law from which there is no escape that money appropriated by this body and expended for public purposes must be paid from the private funds of the citizens of this commonwealth through some system of taxation. Therefore great care should be exercised in this respect that you do not appropriate for public expenditures any amount for any purposes in excess of the actual needs for such purposes.

Economy Is Advocated

It is a well-established and generally recognized fact that state governmental costs -constantly are increasing, on account of the great increase in state requirements and its obligations to society and its consequent responsibilities therefor as created by legislative enactments in the past. As an additional and specific contributing cause for the constant and unavoidable increase in state governmental costs, we are reminded of the almost alarming increase in the population of our various correctional, benevolent, penal and other institutions who become wards of the state, whose care, custody, control and maintenance must be provided for, and no rightminded citizens of the state desires to escape this responsibility and our obligations to our unfortunates. It is further a well recognized fact that the cost of local government in the various units or subdivisions of our state government constantly is increasing at even a greater and more alarming rate, because of the constant and increasing demands being made upon the various agencies of our local governments. It becomes your duty properly to safeguard and protect society as far as reasonably possible from unwarranted expenditures and extravagancies, to prevent the cost of our government from increasing to a point confiscating the income of the taxpaying public.

Favors Present Tax Law

It is fundamental that* * hen governmental costs reach excessive proportions you create an unrest and dissatisfaction in the minds and hearts of the people, which always has been and will continue to be inimical to the welfare of such governmental unit, whether it be national, state or local, and always interferes with the legitimate progress of such unit of government. I recommend that you enforce and practice every reasonable economy in providing for state requirements of funds consistent with prudence, good business practices and efficient government, avoiding at all times parsimony and false economy. Taxation universally is recognized as our greatest economic problem, and as such should receive your serious consideration. The budget and right of appeal by taxpayers’ sections of the Indiana tax law have been the means of saving many millions of dollars to the taxpayers of Indiana, when the exercise of this right has been invoked by them, where in many instances needless and extravagant expenditures were proposed and a voided.

therefore, recommend that this feature of the law be not disturbed. The tax commission as provided by law has submitted to this assembly an exhaustive report, including its recommendations, and each member of this bodyf as I am informed, has been furnished a copy thereof. I recommend that you consider carefully its contents, with the view to such action as your judgment dictates to be proper, in your efforts to provide for a more equitable distribution of the burdens necessarily imposed by taxation. I recommend that especial consideration be given to the necessary reforms in this law as recommended by the tax commission.

Road Revenue Hike Urged

As constitutionality of the amendment to the workmen’s compensation law as passed by the 1927 legislature is being attacked and is in doubt and its validity is being questioned in a case now pending in our supreme court, I recommend that the entire act be revised in such manner as time and experience have proven to be practicable, just, and equitable, with the purpose in view that all questions affecting its constitutionality and its validity in all respects may be removed. In response to general and almost universal sentiment in support of an enlarged and increased program of state highway construction, I would look with favor upon some provision through legisaltive enactment by you for increasing revenues for this purpose in the sum of five to six million'dollars annually. I suggest that the amount so provided should not exceed the last named figure. Ways and means to be employed by you in providing this increased revenue I submit to your wisdom and best judgment. The constant and most alarming increase in crime within our state in the last few years has been such as to command some affirmative and intensive reform in our criminal procedure by this body, properly to more protect and safeguard society.

Hits Limitation Statute

I recommend that this suggestion receive such consideration at your hands as the gravity of the situation demands. I especially would call your attention to the crime of holdup and banditry, for which there can be no extenuating circumstances. Regardless of where perpetrated, it must be in its very nature the result of criminal malicious premeditation. To discourage the perpetration of this and other crimes in Indiana I recommend that the statutes controlling criminal procedure be so simplified and reformed as to avoid unreasonable. nonsensical, and indefensible delays in the trial of criminals. I recommend that unless restrained by constitutional bounds, you amend the present statute of limitations so that it shall not apply to public officials, either elective or appointive, charged with malfeasance in office or any other crime committed during the tenure of their official relations, to impress more thoroughly upon them the seriousness of official misconduct or dereliction and more effectively protect the interests and welfare of the people of our state. I further recommend that you provide penalties for banditry and holdups the same as that now provided for murder in the first degree, thus insuring society proper protection from these outrages. It should be your purpose and I recommend that by the enactment pf this provision in the law you serve notice on those criminally inclined that Indiana is not a profitable place to practice their profession. Agriculture generally is recognized as the country’s basic industry. This interest has not received its just proportion of our general prosperity, as a result of which there is universal depression in this industry within our state. This subject is now being considered from a national legislative

viewpoint, and I recommend that this assembly keep in mind the probable needs of co-operation and support whenever and wherever possible in this respect. I suggest for your consideration the necessity for agricultural research and education as among the essentials to the solution of this great problem. There must necessarily be applied to this industry under present conditions the most scientific methods of farm operation and management as a contribution to its rehabilitation, as well as the adoption of more scientific methods of marketing.

Asks Primary Change

I recommend that you give consideration to the classification and standardization of specifications of public buildings. I especially would refer to public school buildings wherein school units with practically the same school population be standardized and classified, to avoid the expense ofa multiplicity of plans and specifications throughout the state for schools reasonably uniform in their requirements. I recommend that the present primary law be so amended that in the county primary elections delegates be elected for the following purposes: 1. For the nomination of United States senators and all state officers in state convention. 2. For the nomination of representatives in congress in delegate conventions, held in their respective districts. And that the preferential features of the present primary law relating to Presidents of the United States be eliminated. In conclusion, ladies and gentlemen, may I be permitted to inform you that the general financial condition of our state government is very creditable. The state as a uni of government is entirely free from debt. It is my earnest hope that at the close of this session, by wise and constructive legislative enactments, proper co-operation and intelligent action throughout the session, you will have established a most enviable record; that the purposes prompting you will be only those of an earnest attempt to raise to the highest possible level the standard of efficiency in our state government, and thus reflect signal credit upon each of you individually, the state of Indiana, and this administration. I wish to give you the positive assurance that in the solution of your most perplexing, intricate and difficult problems, I shall be gratified greatly if I may be permitted to co-operate with you in every possible instance wherein my help and cooperation would be considered appropriate and helpful. Ladies and gentlemen, I thank you. OPERATE DURING FIRE Battle Blaze in Adjoining Room of Hospital as Surgeons Work.

This discovery disproves the old theory that asthma is due solely to climatic conditions and hay fever entirely to pollen. The discovery of the reel cause of these diseases has proved that these are merely aggravating factors and that the basic cause lies in the individual himself. Fortunately for all who suffer from these diseases a way has also been found to oveicome this basic cause ip the individual instead of merely treating the surface symptoms, as has been done in the past.

PROBE DEATHS OF 4 IN CAR AT RAILCROSSING Prest-O-Lite Employes Are Killed Near Speedway. Coroner C. H. Keever today began an investigation of the train-auto-mobile crash at the Big Four Speedway crossing Monday evening in which four Prest-O-Lite company employes were killed almost instantly.

The crossing is directly in front of the Prest-O-Lite plant. Two of the men killed had had premonitions they would die there, friend3 and relatives said. The machine, a Ford sedan, driven by Luther F. Poland, 60, of 1010 East lowa street, came out of the plant driveway into the path of the train, a Big Four freight. Warning signals at the crossing were working witnesses said, and Engineer Frank Parrish, 624 East Thirty-ninth street, stopped the train within 600 feet, according to Sheriff George L. Winkler and deputies who investigated. Didn’t Hear Whistle Poland was partly deaf and probably did not hear the train whistles, it was believed. All the occupants of the machine were killed. Beside Poland they •were: John Q. Mullen, 56, of 910 Woodlawn avenue; Charles Meyer, 48, of 430 North Meridian street, and Frank Glenn Ryker, 43, of 1722 Laurel street. The crash occurred at 5:10 p. m. as the men were on their way home from work. The auto was demolished and the debris carried 100 feet on the engine tender. Several of the bodies weer badly mutiliated. Mullen, according to his widow, had feared he would meet death at the crossing in front of the plant and frequently said, “some day we’ll get ours at that crossing.” He repeated the remark last Sunday after returning from church. Besides the widow, he is survived by a daughter, Mrs. Marguerite Lahmann and a granddaughter, living at his home. He had worked at the Prest-O-Lite plant twenty-one years. Premonition of Death Meyer, who lived alone in an apartment at 430 North Meridian street, also frequently had expressed a premonition he would be killed at the crossing, according to others living in the building. He is survived by a son, O. W. Meyer of Webster Grove, Mo. Poland, who had been employed at the Prest-O-Lite seven years, is survived by the widow, two children, Francis May, 5, and Lelia Janice, 3, and a brother and three sisters. Brief funeral services will be held at the home Thursday noon followed by services at the Edinburg Methodist church in the afternoon and bur:.al there. Ryker is survived by a widow and three children, Caroline, Emma and Herbert, 15, 12 and 10 respectively. DISCUSS LEGISLATION Senator Hewitt Is Speaker at Irvington at Republican Club.

cine, one that nature herself would recommend. Each day the Konjola Man, who is at the Hook Drug Store, Illinois and Washington afreets, this city, hears amazing reports from former sufferers about the manner in which Konjola restored their health. The Konjola Man makes no promises or claims for Konjola—he merely points out facts, the surprising accomplishments of this master medicine.: Cases like that of Mr. Merle J. ; Brown, 1252 Markwood avenue, University Heights, Indianapolis, and. that of his son Master Cleo Clifton, Brown, are not unusual to Konjola.) Read the statement of M. Brown,: as he told it to the Konjcla Man a few days ago: “Not only has Konjola benefited I me to an amazing extent but it has; also given new strength and health) to my son, 6 years old. We were; both in a rundown condition. I had 1 suffered for eight years from stomach trouble, constipation and many symptoms of stomach trouble. Among them were gas bloating, aj sour condition and a gnawing sensation in the pit of my stomach. Due to constipation I was uxiable to throw off the poisons in my system.; My kidneys became weak and caused' seveiß pains throughout my body. I was weak and nervous and for three weeks I was confined to my home with lumbago. My son, Cleo, who is 6 years old had been in a nervous state ever since infancy. He was never a strong and healthy child. He was underweight, very pale and was afflicted with a stomach disorder. Meals never appealed to him, and when he did eat, he always complained about pains and uncomfortable feelings, afterward He was subject to colds, failed to sleep well and was becoming a very sickly boy. I was very worried about him. “Konjola was so strongly recommended to me that I decided to give it a trial. I started taking it first and gained amazing benefits from it. My stomach and kidneys were regulated, strengthened and cleansed before I had hardly started the treatment. I found that food of any kind digested perfectly. Sound sleep was restored to me and all aches and pains driven from my bodv. Konjola regulated my bowels so that the poisons in my system were properly eliminated. When I saw how Koniola helped me I decided to give it to my son. Now, I want to say that four bottles made a different child of him. He eats well, sleens like a top and has gained in strength and weight. All signs of nervousness disappeared and have never returned. It is a marvelous thing the way Konjola won two victories right in mr own home. I indorse Konjola to every father, mother, son and daughter. I know what it will do and believe it a boon s o si’Tering humanity.” This is not an exceptional case, konjola has thousands of them to 'ts credit. It is sound and logical ’•easoning to believe that what Kon’ola has done for others it will do for you. All Koniola asks is the chance to make you well. The Koniola Man is at the Hook Orug Store, Illinois and Washington street, this city, where he is meeting the public daily, introducing and explaining the merits of this master medicine.—Advertisement. la
