EXTRA SESSION JUST POLITICS. KNAPP CLAIMS McNutt Used Assembly to Build Up Machine, Republican Says. Charging that the administration of Gov. McNutt is using the social security measures to build up a political machine, Rep. James M. Knapp (R., Hagerstown), minority House leader, attacked the special session and the legislative benefits to be derived from it. The protest was placed in the House journal yesterday afternoon. The protest in full is as follows: "The special session of the Indiana General Assembly of 1936 will go down in Hoosier history as one of the greatest political gestures made in the name of humanity ‘hat this state ever has witnessed. In contrast to the special session called in 1932 by Gov. Leslie, no relief was afforded to taxpayers of this state, and the petitions of large groups of taxpayers to lighten their burden have been rejected. Praises Age Pensions "Inst ead of the voice of the people being heard in the legislative halls, there has been in its place the same dictatorial dena.d for administration laws that marked both the 1933 and 1935 regular Assemblies under this same administration. Rare indeed has been the opportunity for the pleas of the public to be heard, and those which have been forced on this administration have been tolerated rather than invited. "A conservative increase in pensions to the aged has been the only emergency which has been touched by legislation passed by the special session. It is the only feature of the entire Federal Social Security program which has met universal approval, and in states where the will of the people has been recognized, oly old-age pension legislation has been acted upon. "The Republican minority deplores the centralization of government which began in Indiana with the passage of the Executive Administrative Act of 1933, and which now has grown to an alarming extent through the addition of socalled social security laws designed to subject free American citizens to the domination of both state and Federal governments. "Great financial burdens have been heaped upon Indiana taxpayers, the full significance of which has not yet been realized, and thousands of new political jobs have been created to further strengthen an already too paternalistic government, composed of countless divisions, bureaus and commissions. “Politics in Treacherous Form” "The refusal of the special session to act on tax legislation was a clearcut example of a majority bound to the will of its Democratic administration leadership rather than repAsentatives of the people elected by the people for their welfare. “It was an example of party politics in its most treacherous form. An administration which repudiates not only its promises, but also its responsibility to the electorate whose servants it is, deserves to in turn be repudiated by those who vested in it the power of government. "No possible cloak with a social security label can cover the evils of a system that builds a political structure at the expense of both these in need, and those who pay the bill."

CONGRESS LEADERS STUDY REVENUE GAIN Hope to Drop Processing Taxes From Budget Bill.

Such action, they believed, would Rid in rushing the legislation through to enactment. , House Majority Leader William B. Bankhead said lie was convinced the President would accept action along this line if Congress can write a tax bill approaching the $792,000,000 requested annual revenue yield. Meanwhile, House tax experts made a similar approach to the tax problem. They sought to safeguard the principle of the corporate surplus tax, despite revisions, so it would yield $620,000,000 annually, in addition, the "windfall” tax on uncollected AAA processing levies, it was hoped, would raise $100,000,000 to $150,000,000.

$5,750,000 IS SLASHED FROM ELECTRIC BILLS Indiana’s Small Consumers Benefit by Reduction, Survey Reveals. Annual bills of Indiana's small consumers of electricity have been reduced approximately $5,750,000 since March 8, 1933, records of the Indiana Public Service Commission revealed today. This information is based on a study of a survey released by the Federal Power Commission. Compilation of rates for the first national survey of the Federal commission was started' in 1934 and completed Jan. 1, 1935. Consequently, a comparison of rates among states is for a period prior to the latter date, Richard Sharpless, commission attorney, said. Starting Jan. 23, 1935, the Indiana Public Service Commission wrote reduction orders against four major electric companies which resulted in an annual decrease of $642,000 in consumer’s bills. Two orders issued on that date were against the Northern Indiana Power Cos. for $258,000 and against the Traction Light and Power Cos. for $22,500. Issued Orders Last Year On Feb. 11. last year, an order was issued against the Northern Indiana Public Service Cos. for a reduction amounting to $332,000 annually, and on April 1, the Indiana Service Cos. was ordered to make a reduction totaling $30,000 a year. At the time the commission was ordering these reductions, other companies made voluntary reductions, which brought a total saving of $1,250,000 to consumers, commission officials pointed out. Records of the commission also revealed that a 5 per cent reduction was effected on rates of the Indianapolis Power and Light Cos. It also w r as said that the engineering and auditing departments of the commission now are conducting surveys of that company, prior to holding a hearing on the present rates. Both surveys are reported to be completed within 60 days. Average Rate Is Lower According to the Federal commission's survey, the average typical monthly bill for 25 kilowatt hours residence service in the state is $1.66. This rate Public Service Commission officials said was arrived at from figures compiled prior to January, 1935, and estimated the present rate to be approximately $1.54. They said also that in some instances the annual saving to small consumers ranged from 12 V 2 to 30 per cent, and asserted that savings moved more rapidly in larger classes. Explaining that the Commission’s purpose was to gain a reasonable balance between consumer and utility, officials stressed the doublebarrel effect of rate reductions. As an example of how a reduction aids a taxpayer in two ways, they pointed to the reduced cost of street lighting for municipalities. Three years ago, they said, the annual cost of one 100-watt light was $33, while today it is S2O. In some cities, it is said, the cost has been cut to sl6.

PREPARATIONS ARE MADE TO HANG BARRETT I U. S. Circuit Court Affirms Death Sentence Passed in Indianapolis. Preparations were begun today for the hanging of George W. Barrett, convicted slayer of Nelson B. Klein, government agent, who must die in the county jailyard sometime between midnight and dawn Tuesday. Virtually all hope of Barrett escaping the noose disappeared yesterday when the United States Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago affirmed the sentence of a Federal petit jury here Dec. 7. Today the Chicago court issued a mandate directing that the death sentence imposed on Barrett be carried out. In the opinion handed down yesterday, the court said it was convinced beyond all reasonable doubt that Barrett did not believe Klein and his fellow agent, Donald C. McGovern, were Kentucky feudists seeking his life, as pointed out in the petition.
