Senators friendiy ta*. the present primary law mailed again in their effort to kill the Republican state organisation measure which amounts almost to repeal, but succeeded in affixing amendments restricting the voting in state conventions to regularly elected delegates or alternates. The amended bill was advanced to third reading in the upper house. Kill Move Fails Senator William F. Hodges of Gary, Republican, who led the fight Friday to kill the bill, moved lor indefinite postponement, but the motion lost when twenty-seven senator supported a motion of Senator Denver C.

Harlan protested that counties were entitled to representation in the convention, even though their elected delegates were unable to attend. Senator Chester A. Perkins of South Bend, Democrat, suggested provision should be made for the election of alternates who might vote in the absence of delegates.

Prediction that the Indiana tobacco jobber and retailer would be ruined by the tobacco tax was made by every speaker against the tax in the debate in the house of representatives today upon a minority report for indefinite postponement of the Trowbridge-Mallot-Freeman measure. Opposition proved of no avail, the bill went on to second reading Dy a vote of 51 to 41. ’me majority rpeort for passage also carried with it an amendment providing that $250,000 of the money raised during- 1930 should be paid into the school relief fund and every year thereafter an annual payment of $500,000 should be made into the fund. Opponents of the bill concentrated on the fact that with the adoption of a tax the tobacco users would purchase their tobacco products irom cut-state mail order ijouses and would so evade the tax. “The law is funamentally incorrect—the theory of taxation does not provide that the people should be burdened with nuisance taxes. The cost of government • should be placed where it belongs—upon property,” declared Representative John Scott, of Gary. "The cry this session has been for increases gas taxes, license fees, taxes, on amusements, upon tobacco and a score of other things of this sort. The burden of taxation should be placed upon property and intangibles. ’ he added.
