LESLIE STANDS FIRM ON EXTRA SESSION RAN Governor’s Main Ambition Said to Be Blocking of Legislature Call. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Governor Harry G. Leslie has one major objective in this Anal year of hla administration, and that, is to prevent calling of a special session of the legislature, it was reported today. Since only the Governor has the power to call a special session, there feeemed little doubt that his objective will be attained. But despite the claim of Lieu-tenant-Governor Edgar D. Bush that he mould not call a session should the chief executive be absent from the state, Leslie doesnt plan to leave. Gets Legislators Views Bush, Speaker Walter Mver* of the house of representatives, and lewis Taylor of the Indiana Farm Bureau. Inc., Thursday brought the Governor a written svmposium of opinions of members of the legislature regarding a special session call. All but two agreed that, should thev be summoned in special session. -they would confine their activities to the seventeen points of tax reform laid down by the • - cltJ7®ns committee," jointly headed t>v John R Kmgan. Indianapolis packer, and William H. Settle, farm bureau president. No discussion of the symposium took place as the packet containing the data from the representatives was presented. Leslie accepted them and said that he would study them carefully. He took them to his home and. upon leaving, announced that he would have something to say about the matter later. Argues With Taylor The Governor already has pointed out that a number of members of the legislature have told him privately that, in their opinion, it gvould be futile to call a special session at this time. His opposition to the farm bureau pressure for a special session was demonstrated publicly earlier this week, whpn he got into a discussion with Taylor at a luncheon meeting where the Governor hart talked on taxation and afterward conducted an open forum. Taylor was pointing out. that intangibles should be laxed and Leslie began a counter-offensive by aegreeing to this point. Then lie said that the farm bureau itself was an offender in the matter of taxation In the present economic crisis. Organized as a co-operative institution not operated for profit, the bureau conducts wholesale feed, seed, coal, and other businesses and yet escapes the tax. the Governor charged. He also emphasized that at a time when Indiana mines are in need of orders, the coal bought by the bureau was imported from outside the state. Patriotism Is Challenged The Governor offered this as a challenge to the "Hoosier patriotism" of the bureau. In a fiery sta'cmcnt from farm bureau headquarters, Taylor had the following to say: Thousands of farmers and real estate owners have been and arc being forced into bankruptcy and ruin by unfair and inequitable taxes. Only prompt action by the Governor can save those still solvent from a like fate. •‘Furthermore*, the present tax injustice is breeding dangerous discontent that threatens all law and order among the states most conservative citizens—the farmers. "A gigantic ‘tea party’ is barely around the corner."

OIL TEST FEES AID FINANCES OF STATE

Inspection Service Puts $229,023.52 Into General Fund. Indiana's state health department. Including oil inspectors, turned into the general fund *229023 52 in excess of legislative appropriations during the last three year". Dr. William F. King, state health director, reported to Governor Harry G. Leslie. The report was requested by the chief executive, who is gathering data from various departments to combat charges of state governmental extravagance, or correct evils disclosed, it was said. Dr. Kings report shows that oil inspection does have some use besides that of furnishing jobs for a corps of political supporters. It helps the general fund and thereby becomes a lucrative source for raising revenue by the less painful method of indirect taxation. Each session the legislature attempts abolition of the oil inspection department without avail. The only law for its creation is an ancient one wherein inspectors were
