GOVERNOR MAY FIGHT TO KEEP HIGHWAY FUNDS Leslie Also May Ask That Gasoline Tax Be Taken Away From Cities. BY DANIEL M. KIDNEY Although both his own and the Democratic party are on record in their platform for greater local distribution of the $24,000,000 funds of the state highway department. Governor Harry G. Leslie has indicated he may fight to keep these funds intact at the special legislative session started July 7. Further, he may support the proposal of Chairman Albert J. Wedeking of the state highway commission to take the. 1 cent state gasoline tax, now being distributed to cities, counties and towns, and give it to the state highway department to maintain county roads. Leslie refused to commit himself pointblank regarding his stand, but he showed the trend it is taking by citing the history of the state gas tax and what he believes happens when funds are collected by the state and spent by local governmental tmits. Sop to Folks Back Home "The reason the 1-cent distribution locally was written into the gasoline tax law was because it was the only way possible for the legislature to raise the tax to 4 cents a gallon,’’ the Governor declared. "That cent was just a sop to the folks back home, so the state highway department could have a 3cent levy. "I know, when the measure was being enacted, that it was argued that tha cent would cut down city, county, and town road maintenance levies. "But what really has happened is

that the local governments have looked upon that money as a gift from the state and never consider it in making up their local budgets. It hasn't cut down the property levy for local roads. "I am not so sure that the same thing would not happen if the amount were doubled, unless some mandatory law was enacted to require that the local levy be reduced or abolished.” Waste I* Cited Another "horrible example” of the waste of state supplied funds by local governmental units was cited by Leslie in the matter of state aid for schools. “The original idea of state aid for schools was to see that teachers were paid, but as the amounts rose it appeared the money was being used for everything else,” the Governor charged. "Then it became impossible to abandon a schoolhouse, because the township trustees would move families into the community to keep collecting the state aid. It was the most flourishing industry in the place, collecting state aid and operating school busses. Called Political Move "I am convinced now that the hue and cry of some of the southern Indiana communities that they were unable to pay their teachers had a purely political and partisan motive.” He stated that the test he will give all bills passed at the special session is that they must be “emergency measures” that can not await passage until the regular session in January, and that they must deal with taxation and governmental economy. A "veto” likely would meet the passage of the proposed Wright “bone-dry” law repeal and any bill changing present regulation of public utilities under this test, he indicated.

street, one and half miles north of White river. Highway officials hold that a curve around the bluff will constitute a traffic menace. The beauty of the spot, which is heavily wooded, leads the park board to its opinion that the bluff should be retained. Owners of property along the route have offered sufficient ground to permit road construction around each side of the bluff. Dr. Carleton B. McCullough, board member, and H. Nathan Swaim, attorney for the board, have been appointed to present the matter to the highway department. Low bid of 5823 20 from A. D. Cook. Inc., of Lawrenceburg, Ind.. for a well

pump at Garfield Park was accepted by the board. The Indianapolis Machinery Supply Company was awarded contract for a $20,000 gallon water tank at the park.

STRIFE MARKS - MINERjURLEY Illinois Delegation Asked to Leave Meeting. By United Prm* TERRE HAUTE, Ind., June 24. A vote on the proposed new $4 basic wage scale for Indiana coal mines was expected today by delegates of District 11, United Mine Workers of

America, meeting here. The committee report favoring the new scale was presented In part Thursday, after difficulty had been encountered in seating of delegates from Indiana locals.
