STRESS LAID ON : TAX PROBLEMS ! IN LEGISLATURE Action to Remedy State’s Ills Urged as 77th Session Opens. * Continued from Page One) son i , who became minority floor leader The senate ratified nominations made by the Republican majority in caucus, naming Lelank K. Flshbark, Richmond, secretary; Herman Douglass. Monttcello, assistant secretary-; Jerome Brown, Anderson, principal doorkeeper and Felix 'Stan Brown, Bloomington, postmaster. Following a resolution to appoint a committee on patronage, Speaker Myers named Representatives John M. Masselink <Dem., Vigo), chairman; J. Henry Monnig Jr. 'Dem., Vanderburgh Nathan B Combs • Dem., Clinton', Fred A. Egan • Dem., Lake), and Charles Y. Foster • Rep., Hamilton'. To the senate’s patronage committee, Bush named Senators Hartnell, Alonzo H. Lmdley 'Rep., Fountain. Vermillion and Warreni, and Glenn R. Slcnker Rcp„ Carroll, Clinton and White). Lieutenant Governor Bush sounded a plea for an equitable solution of the tax problem which found echo from Senators Hartzell and Chambers. \ “Injustice Is Recognized ’ | “I have no wish to burden you with a lengthy discourse,” Lieuten-ant-Governor Bush told the senate. "The injustice of our antiquated property tax system is so universally recognized that any attempt on the part of the assembly to raise the property tax levy will be viewed with hostility. ‘‘Tlie taxpayers will have a light to expect relief from us and will f hold us to strict account if we fail them. “I want to help you solve the problem of oroperty tax relief and assure you I will co-operate in every, way. ‘‘The public interests transcend all personal or political consideration. "I trust that the leadership on both sides of tire chamber will approach the solution of this question in the spirit of utmost fairness, and v that we lay aside politics and work together harmoniously for the common good.” Myers, who is the first Democrat to preside over the lower house .since 1915, took the occasion to deliver an address on the sort of leadership his party expects to display in legislative afTairs. “The wisest political action is always reconciliation of differences of opinion,” the Speaker decared. "May the opposite political complexion of our legislative bodies be to the advantage of the state.” “Come at Critical Point” “Our peculiar relation at a peculiar time in the affairs of our state and nation,” said Myers, “should lead us to forget tliat we are Democrats and Republicans and to remember that, first of all. we are Americans and citizens of Indiana, heirs to the fine ideals of those who have gone before us, that we should be champions of the noblest concepts that are with us, now and that we will be. according to our deeds, a help or a hindrance to those who are going to come after us. “We come into session at a critical juncture in the history of the world when great social and economic forces are swirling us about like tossing ships on a raging sea. Out of it all there is bound to come, in due time, the peaceful calm of a new order. “We have but sixty-one days of session. Every minute of it might be spent profitably doing*, nothing more than repealing dead wood and ill-digested enactments from our statutes. To take up one question and solve it correctly would be worth more than 10,000 pieces of haphazard half-baked legislation.” Dwells on Taxation Myers then dwelt upon taxation, pointing out that the present problem is both to provide more equitable distribution of the tax burden and to reduce governmental expenditures. ’‘lnstead of making the public treasury a trough at which hogs feed, let us make it a granary to sustain and nourish the spirit of the state.” he advised. ”It takes nothing but three cheers from the recipients and a favorable roll call to add a lot of 3obs to the pay roll and another burden to the taxpayers.” HONOR COL MARMON Medal for outstanding developments in passenger car manufacture in 1930 has been awarded Colonel Howard Marmon by the metropolitan section of the Society of Automotive En-meers. Presentation of * the medp. took place at a luncheon Thursday at the Commodore in New York City to G. M. Williams, president of the Marmon Motor Car Company.

STATE G. 0. P. IS SPLIT OVER SENATF CHIEF Several Cliques Incensed by Hartzell Election as President. In Democratic ranks there were no signs of soreness today as a result of the party's caucuses Wednesday night, but there was a distinct cleavage in the Republican senate majority. Supporters of Senator J. J. Nejdl (Rep., Lake) who until Wednesday afternoon had been regarded as the outstanding contender for president pro tem., do not disguise their resentment with the tactics pursued in the election of Senator Lee J. Hartzell (Rep., Allen and Noble). They contend that if LieutenantGovernor Edgar D. Bush, Salem, had not wielded his heavy patronage and committee appointment clubs in behalf of Hartzell, Nejdl w’ould have been nominated. Supporters of Senator C. Oliver

Holmes (Rep.. Lake), who got four votes, and Senator I. Floyd Garrott (Rep., Benton and Tippecanoe-, who got one vote, are incensed at Bush’s interference. Several weeks ago it was announced that Bush would support Senator French Clement (Rep., Vanderburg). Clements withdrew from the race Wednesday afternoon when a meeting was held in the room of Senator Frank S. Southworth ißep., Marshall and St. Joseph) in the Lincoln hotel, and sixteen senators from northeastern Indiana pledged themselves to support Hartzell.

It was construed today that the election of Hartzell was, a rebuff of j the Republican slate committee, heads and Governor Kerry G. Leslie. who. it had been said were favoring Nejdl. Observers also interpret the result as evidence the Republican party is content to remain politically dry. The dry victory is only partial, as Representative Walter Myers j • Dem., Marion) the house Speaker, long has been deemed an enemy by the anti-saloon forces, who black- j listed him in his race for mayor and { for the nomination.
