THE INDIANAPOL.IS TIMES

STATE BUDGET OF $55,478,945 RUSHED ACROSS Steam Roller Works Like Clock; Taxpavers to Carry Big Load. With Senator Bruce E. Cooper (Rep.), Stewartsville, whils’tling noisely, and Senator Thurman A. Gottschalk (Dem.), Berne, acting as conductor, the biennial budget bill was “steam rollered” through the senate Friday afternoon, emerging with a total of $55,478,945 and the probability of a 10-cent increase in the state rate for the taxpayer. Attempts of three or four senators to amend the measure and strike nearly a million dollars from it failed dismally. The majority of the members of the senate assumed a circus day attitude and refused to take any reduction seriously. They did approve increases totalling $440,500. The largest of these was the boosting of the Governor’s emergency fund from SBO,OOO to $250,000 a year. Prepare for Emergency Senator Earl Rowley, La Porte, urged this increase, on the grounds that there \i light be a cyclone or flood or some other “actN>f God.” The fund can be used for any expenditure which the chief executive considers an emgncy, but Rowly assured the senators it will not go for “a house, automobile or new watch.” Governor Harry G. Leslie was allowed funds for a car by the budget committee, but members did not approve appropriations for anew mansion, suggested informally by the Governor. The next raise was the addition of SIOO,OOO for two armories, each to cost $50,000, and to be built in succeeding years when appropriations are available. This amendment was introduced by Senator Robert L. Moorhead, Indianapolis, member of the armory board. It is to provide for new buildings with the “closed corporation” plan abolished, he declared. He said twelve more are neeeded and such appropriation should be continued for the next twelve years. No Slash of Rentals No attempt was made to slash, check or abolish the $250,000 annual appropriation for lease-rent-als, to pay holding companies for armories built during the last four years. A SSOO increase was made in the appropriation to the LieutenantGovernor for expenses of this session. Lieutenant-Governor Edgar Bush said that he had to maintain an office at the English hotel until his quarters at the statehouse were prepared, the cost being a little more than S2OO, the difference going into the treasury to the account for which it was appropriated. Heads of educational and other state institutions were on hand to see the senators pass their bill. Led by Senator James J. Nejdl and William A. Hodges, Gary, an attempt was made to adopt it without any discussion, but after some wragling the senate finally resolved into committee of the whole. Advises Against Delay

No sooner had this occurred than Nejdl again tried to “put it over.” The motion was out of order, but was said to have been suggested by Bush, Senator Denver C. Harlan, presiderit pro tem. presiding, and other regular party leaders of the G. O. P. Harlan advised against delay and said that since it was necessary to increase the tax rate it might as 'well be done speedily. Senator Alon 2 H. Lindley, Kingman, leader of the opposition to such speedy action as occurred in the house, then took the floor, “I do not propose to stand by and see this thing railroaded through,” he shouted. “We are sent here for the prime purpose of curbing unnecessary expenditures. But I admit that in all the political conventions I ever attended I never have seen the steam roller better oiled than it is for this budget bill. “Heads of every educational institution in the state are on hand to watch us perform and carry out their desires. If there is anything in this bill that should not be seen, let’s get into it and see it." Put State in Debt He pointed out that the budget committee membership was the same as the one which put the state into debt for $1,700,000 worth of armories and made building appropriations which proved insufficient. Gottschalk, although the Democrat member of the committee, became its spokesman, and Senator Luther O. Draper, Spiceland, the Republican member, seldom took the floor. Senator Joseph M. Cravens, Madison, Democratic floor leader, urged the budget adoption on the fly and the final vote in the senate was 39 ayes and 3 noes. Senator John L. Niblack. Indianapolis, introduced an amendment’ saving $294,000 by abolishing the state police. He pointed out chat now they are used for political purposes and have limited police powers. He cited the instance of their placing posters for Frederick E. Schortemeier, then secretary of state and candidate for Governor. Asks for Reductions

Lindley offered- amendments cutting $240,000 from the board of health, SIOO,OOO from the state conservation department, $70,000 from the Indiana University extension, and SBO,OOO for a power plant at the medical unit. He pointed out that when the special building levy was made, all was supposed to be proprided for and that health board, conservation and extension increases were unnecessary or provided for in other portions of the bill. The Democrats made their usual attempt to abolish oil inspection and save $181,200 and Senator I. Floyd Garrott, Battleground, tried to knock out $10,300 for the state attendance officer. Each reduction amendment was tabled. The committee resolved into the senate and swallowed the whole pill.

HOOVERPICKS EX-GOVERNOR OF MISSOURI Arthur Hyde Will Be New Agriculture Secretary in Cabinet. BY THOMAS L. STOKES United Press Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, March 2.—Presi-dent-Elect Hoover spent his last regular day as a private citizen today, for some time at least. He devoted himself to resting, with his family about him, and clearing up a few last-minute matters, while official Washington sought to learn the identity of the only member of the cabinet not hitherto revealed, secretary of commerce, the post he filled for seven and a half-years.

One Aid Still Unknown The other “surprise” cabinet member is former Governor Arthur M. Hyde of Missouri, who will be secretary of agriculture. His selection was revealed Friday night, checking for the moment a frenzy of speculation here unequaled before in similar circumstances and with humorous aspects. The speculation was resumed over the commerce post. Hoover draws from the camp of his leading.pre-convention foe, former Governor Frank O. Lowden of Illinois, in bringing Hyde into his official family. Hyde supported Lowden for the presidential nomination. Hyde, who is 51, has participated in farm relief movements. Lowden was champibn of the McNary-Hau-gen bill which Hoover refused to espouse. The selection came as a distinct surprise to official Washington. Hyde had not been mentioned in the wealth of speculative gossip. Native of Missouri He is a native of Missouri, having been born in Princeton July 12, 1877. He graduated from the University of Michigan, took a law degree at lowa State university, and entered politics as mayor of Princeton after practicing law’ for fifteen years, 1900-1915, in that city. He was Governor from 1921 to 1925. His home now’ is in Trenton, Mo. Missouri, always a doubtful state, thus retains the representation in the new cabinet which she had in the retiring cabinet in the person of Dwight F. Davis, secretary of war.

Hoover Earning Capacity Limited While in Office

He Can Only Receive $6,250 Each Month During Presidency, By United Press WASHINGTON. March 2.—When Herbert Hoover becomes President of the United States Monday his earning capacity will be limited to $75,000 a year granted by Act of Congress. In civil life, Mr. Hoover could earn at least four times this amount as he is regarded one of the best organizers and mining engineers-in the world. But the last of every month a special messenger will come from the treasury department to the White House and present the chief executive with a check or voucher for $6,250, payable to Herbert Hoover, President of the United States. This check must be indorsed by the President and then deposited in his bank. Twelve times each year, Mr. Hoover will be handed his pay check and at the end of the twelvemonths’ period he w-ill have received his $75,000. Besides this salary. Mr. Hoover will be allowed $25,000 a year for traveling expenses. He does not have to account for this sum and can draw from it at will until it is exhausted. Any amount unexpended at the end of the fiscal year, however, reverts to the treasury.

ABYSSIANIANS RELATED TO ANCIENT EGYPTIANS Scientists Say Grain Friend in Tombs Is Identical. By Science Service LENINGRAD, March".—The hints of Herodotus that the ancient Egyptians and the Abyssinians were somehow’ connected has received unexpected corroboration from botany. - According to investigations of the well-known Russian botanist, K.

UTILITY BILL REPORT TO BE MADEMONDAY Act Will Hamper Sales of Stocks, Say Opponents at Hearing Friday. No report on the Moorhead utility holding company bill will be made by judiciary A committee until after conference Monday. Opponents and proponents of the bill have had two public hearings at which they had an opportunity to present their respective sides of the argument. The bill which passed the senate provides that whenever a holding company has more than 50 pei cent of the stock of a utility operating in Indiana, it shall come under the purview of the public service commission as do other utilities. Opponents of the bill W’ho spoke Friday night includes Glenn Van Auken of Indianapolis, representing the Insull property, the Indiana Electric Company; William Tayloi Indianapolis attorney and utility reorganizer; Charles D. Kelso, New Albany attorney, and John S. Powell and John T. Detchan, Indianapolis Telephone Company operators. All concurred in saying that passage of the bill would seriously hamper the stock sales of holding companies holding Indiana utility stocks and bonds. Need for control of the holding companies which charge excessive rates for service to the utilities they own was stressed by Taylor Groninger, former corporation coimsel of Indianapolis, and Harold J. Bachelder, attorney. Both pointed out that holding companies control a varied type of industry, and that they issue stock upon all of their holdings, and that W’hen one doesn’t pay, it is necessary in some manner to make the others pay more in order to meet the deficit and keep up the payment of dividends. This throws too great a burden upon the utility. In order that rates may be fairly fixed, it is necessary to know of all contracts between the utilities and the holding companies. The Moorhead bill would permit obtaining such information. .

March 2.—For six years President Coolidge ha been unable to get along with the senate in the matter of appointments and now w ith congress peacefully dying and Coolidge quietly returning to private life, they are still at odds. More than twenty Coolidge nominations to important offices are to be shelved according to the plans of senate leaders. The names submitted by the President will die with the congress at noon Monday. They include eight judgeships and numerous lesser offices and such personages as Curtis D. Wilbur. secretary of navy, offered as judge of the Ninth California district and former Senator Irvin L. Lenroot. Wisconsin, named to be judge of the United States court, of customs appeals. Fail to Act on Judges Groups of senators have been aroused at the haste of the chief executive in naming six new federal judges under the bill which finally passed congress only a lew hours before the names were submitted by Coolidge. In the ordinary course of events, the names might not be submitted by the President for weeks. If the leaders carry out their plan of ignoring the nominations, Presi-dent-Elect Hoover may dole out these offices to other parties after he tak& the oath. The judges who thus are slated for senate inaction include, besides Wilbur, Lloyd Stryker and Francis Cassey. New York; Archibald Gardner, South Dakota: George McDermott. Kansas, and O. L. Phillips, New Mexico. Radio Bill Forced Through The bill continuing the life of the radio commission w’as forced through the senate Friday night after a nine hour filibuster by Senator Royal S.
