Measure Among Sevearl Set for Introduction Next Week. With the Indiana house already floundering under a calendar twice as heavy at the end of the first week of this session as it was in 1929, dozens of bills were in preparation today for introduction next week. Both houses will resume sessions Monday at 2 p. m. Contemplated legislation ranges from tax measures to political and intoxication bills, with the chief rev-enue-raising move an absolute tax limit bill to be introduced in the senate by Senator Addison Drake (Dem., Sullivan and Vigo). Drake’s measure would limit the tax to $2 on each SIOO of taxable property and is designed for enactment in event of adoption of a program which would include placing a tax on luxuries or removing the tax from real estate and personal property. Proposes Election Levy Another bill being drafted by Drake would levy a tax of 10 per cent on gross sales of all energy by Indiana electric utilities. The electric tax, it is estimated, would bring a revenue of $5,000.00. Both bills are part of the legislative program of the Indiana Farm Bureau Federation. A third bill to be introduced by Drake would call for the election of county commissioners only by voters of the district he seeks to represent. The present law has commissioners elected by districts, but voted on by the entire county. A bill making members of boards of education in cities of 101,000 to $250,000 appointive by the mayor instead of elective will be introduced in the senate by Senator Frank S. Southworth (Rep., Marshal. St. Joseph). No more than two members of the board of three would be members of the same political party. The Southworth measure is the result of conferences between school officials of Ft. Wayne, Gary, South Bend and Evansville, cities affected. Drafted by the Primary League Association, a bill designed to block outright repeal of the primary election law will be introduced, in both houses. Enactment would restore nomination of all state and local offi uals to the primary. 103 Bills Before House Check of the house calendar reveals that 103 bills have been introduced thus far compared with fifty-six during the first week of the 1929 session. First week in the senate nearly was normal, thirty-seven bills being offered. Twenty-eight were introduced in 1929. Representative Howard S. Grimm (Rep., De Kalb) will introduced Monday in the house a bill requiring that all sentences for intoxication be served in the local county jail instead of in state penal institutions. The fine for drunkenness' now $lO to SSOO, would be reduced to $1 to $5. Grimm asserts the measure has the indorsement of the Indiana Bar Association. A measure by Representative John B.

STATE CONTROL OF ALL POLICE BRINCSPROTEST Crime Commission’s Plan Opposed by Indiana Officers’ Body. Indiana State Police and Sheriffs Association have opened headquarters at the Claypool and will fight passage of the state safety department measure as drawn up by the state crime commission. At the same time the association leaders are urging statewide use of the teletype system, with the bureau of criminal identification as the central station. This would cost the state about $55,000. they estimate. The identification bureau would also be placed on a bipartisan basis and the staff increased under their plan. Chief objection to the crime commission bill is the placing of a certain amount of control over police and sheriffs with the state safety department. The bill would provide for a bipartisan board to select a chief, who would have direct jurisdiction over the state police and criminal bureau and indirectly over all police and sheriffs’ forces of the state. me state department would pass on qualifications of the local officers, license them and they would be subject to call by the state chief. This is the provision to w 7 hich the police and sheriffs’ association are objecting. Another snag in the passage of the bill may come from the Democrats, who now enjoy all the state police patronage under Secretary of State FYank Mayr Jr. Chief Grover Garrett of the department is operating it in the same sort of political manner as was done for the Republicans under former Chief Robert L. Humes.
