RE-DISTRICTING BILL READY FOR VOTING

Core Measure Scheduled for Passage in House Next Week. Passage by the house of the Core bill providing for the reapportionment of the state into twelve congressional districts is slated for next week, it was definitely learned today. The Republican minority, according to its members, will not oppose passage of the measure which was written by the chairman of the house congressional reapportionment committee. Leaders of the minority group point out that the bill drafted by Representative Lew S. Core (Dem., Daviess) would in normal years give the Republicans eight districts based on past election records, the Democrats three and throws one in the doubtful column. Democrats are willing to accept the bill and pass it because the Republican majorities computed by the drafter are so small in several of the proposed districts that confidence is felt that the Democrats readily can offset them. Provisions of the bill are much* more liberal than houjse Republicans believed at the beginning of the session they would obtain. . Senate May Defeat Bill But with the haphazard leadership which at present exists in the senate Republican ranks there is a •possibility that the measure may be rejected and thus the end of the session would find no reapportionment measure passed. In this event the twelve representatives in congress would have to be elected at large from thirteen districts. It is, however, pointed out that there is no enabling statute on the books which would permit the nomination of twelve at large from thirteen districts. Party leaders declare that the representatives could be nominated in state convention, but a bill to this effect must be passed. The point is also made that if the nominations were made in convention the cities would name the candidates. Special Act Required In order to offset this it is proposed that the enabling bill shall contain a provision for the selection of the nominees based on the appellate court judicial districts. A rough draft of such a bill is being prepared. Core’s measure provides for consolidation of most of the Third and Fourth districts, and splitting Marion county along Washington and St. Clair streets and Massachusetts avenue. All south of this line would be in anew Fourth district, which would also include Hancock, Shelby, Bartholomew and Decatur counties, while all north, together with Hamilton and Tipton counties, would form the Seventh district. Lineup of districts would be: First, Fifth, Sixth. Seventh. Eighth, Ninth, Tenth and Twelfth as Republican; Second, Third, and Fourth as Democratic, with the Eleventh doubtful.

HIGHWAY FIGHT TO BE HEARD BY TAX BOARD _______ Anderson - Elwood Controversy Will Be Topic Tuesday. By Times Special ANDERSON, Ind., Feb. 7.—Business men of Anderson, Frankton and Elwood are organizing delegations to attend a hearirg at th,* courthouse here Tuesday on a remonstrance of Madison county taxpayers seeking to block issuance of $182,000 of county unit bonds for the paving of the Dale J. Noland road. The hearing will be before the state board of tax commissioners, with Chairman James Showalter presiding. The Noland road, extending from Anderson to the Salem school, west of Frankton, is the south section of the proposed Anderson - Elwood paved highway. Later It Is planned to pave the north section of the route, completing a continuous paved highway between the two largest cities in the county. Issuance of bonds for the Noland road is before the state tax commissioners for the second time, the board having once disapproved the issue on the ground that the expenditure would place the county Indebtedness too near the constitutional limit. It has since been contended by the road boosters that the decision was based on incorrect figures and reduction of material prices caused the project to be revived. Remonstrators are principally farmers living in the west part of the county who urgqd the Hamilton route as the logical one for a paved road between Anderson and Elwood. The board of county commissioners following months of hearings and inspections finally adopted the Noland road and set plans in motion to have it paved. The first proposed bond issue was disapproved by the state board in November. 1930 The entire project would cost more than $300,000.
