it was reported. Mr. Jackson has indicated he would seek to keep the position until the reorganization meeting in 1938. Gov.-elect Townsend has conferred with state officials on proposed measures for safety, gross income tax revision, changes in workmen’s compensation law and property tax reductions, party leaders said. Almost all state divisions are interested in codifying or strengthening ‘existing laws, many of which were rushed through as emergency measures. Political observers believe a minimum number of bills will be in- | troduced at the session, and Charles | Kettleborough, state legislative ref- | erence bureau director, said drafts of ‘only 50 bills had been presented to him. Usually, he said, about 100 are being prepared at this time.
Fellows Townsend Suggestion
The financial institutions department followed Mr. Townsend's sug- |
| gestions in its legislative report to | | Gov. McNutt by stating it believed |
there was no immediate necessity | for much new legislation. Mr. Townsend has said he hoped |
| Indiana would have a Test from | | drastic new laws during his admin- |
istration. Some departments, including state police and board of health, are re- | ported to believe that what is need- | ed now is not new laws hut better | provisions for enforcement. An effort may be made to centralize and definitely establish juris- | diction to clear the confusion caused by conflicting laws. Many legislators and party lead- | Townsend will announce what positions will be open when he takes office next month. So far the Governor-elect has remained silent on his legislative and patronage program, preferring to wait until he takes office before making any announcements.
Organization Changes
Some changes in the reorganization setup instituted by Gov. McNutt are anticipated, because Mr. Townsend has indicated that he might wish to change the status of the Lieutenant Governor, who is now head of the department of commerce and industry.

CONTEST FOR
6.0.P.CONTROL
~ SHIFTS SCENES
‘Hamilton’ Return Consid-
ered of Slight Importance, Leaders Observe.
{ By T'nited Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 18—The | contest for control of the Republic- | an Party shifted today to the new Congress where the odds favored a liberalization of G. O. P. policies. The first skirmish took place vesterday in Chicago where the Republican National Committee re-
tion of Chairman John D. M. Hamiiton. But political observers consider the Chicago ypte of comparatively slight significance in determining the future of Republicanism.
ly in Congress and in the press. Sound judgment available here is that the issue of liberalism versus cqnservatism in the Party was not the prime consideration in the committee's decision te reject Hamilton's offer to quit. Rep. Hamilton Fish (R., N. Y.), accrediied to the committee with a proxy vote from Alaska, attempted to raise the liberal-conservative issue. | He warned’ the committee it must | ditch ‘Chairman Hamilton and reform the party or suffer it to die. Hold Vote No Indicator
Few persons believe the 74-to-2 | | vote is fairly representative of his | | standing with party leaders gen- | erally. Hamilton conducted an expensive and unsuccessful campaign. Ultimately he may be compelled to | walk the political plank. Some | Western and more or less progressive elements of the Republican Party were not sympathetic with Gov. Alf M. Landon's candidacy nor active in the campaign. If such parties were doubtful of the Kansas team before the elec-! tion it may be assumed they are more doubtful now of the desirabil-
sional campaign under the leadership. In the interplay of these various | forces, Hamilton's personal political | future is of comparatively small consquence so far as party policy is ‘concerned. Some Republicans say merely that it was “‘unthinkable” that the committee should ac-
| cept the chairman's resignation at |
la time when the big job before the
| party is collection of $1,000,000 to
| pay the 1936 campaign deficit incurred under his direction.
reaucracy were described as a form of dictatorship by Joseph Torrence Miller, of Wilkinsburg, Pa.. who was principal speaker yesterday afternoon. “The right of a community te govern itself, dating back 720 years to the Magna Charta, should never | be surrendered,” declared the origi- | nator of the home rule amendment [to the Pennsylvania constitution.

minority groups in the General Assembly with selfish interests. \ Marion County Attorney John Linder warned members to guard against attempts of the Legislature to force through a type of government that the people don’t want. “If two townships want to merge and all voters in the two units favor it, I think it is all right to consolidate but when the Legislature tries to force state-wide consolidations against the people's wishes, it's time to halt the movement,” he said.

COURT RULES ON ‘FARM GROUP TAX
‘Holds That 65 Co-operative Associations Subject to
Income Levy. | -— - - — The State Supreme Court today
[Rei that 65 Indiana Farm Bureau Co-operative Asscoiations were subse
| ject to the gross income tax. Unless the Jasper County co | operative association is able to ob« | tain a rehearing from the Supreme | Court, the state will collect approxi= { mately $110,000 in income taxes and
interest which have been held in escrow since December, 1933, when | the court test of the income tax law was started. The decision today affects all the 65 counties which have co-operative associations and probably applies to other co-operatives also. The Jasper County association filed its case in the Marion County Superior Court, claiming that it was an organization operating not= for-profit and should be exempt from the tax as are other similar | organizations. The lower court upheld this con= tention, Hut the attorney general's office appealed to the Appellate Court where the decision was res versed. Joseph P. McNamara, ase sistant attorney general, argued that the co-operatives actually were profit-making organizations and paid out dividends to their members in addition to competing with private business which did pay the gross income vax. The Jasper association then asked the Supreme Court to review the Appellate Court's ruling, which it refused to do in the decision today, | upholding the verdict of the Appel- { late Court. The ruling may give impetus to a movement already afoot for the State Legislature to revise the laws exempting certain religious, benevs olent, fraternal and educational ors
Ganon from paying taxes.
