(Continued: from Page One)

= the tax limitation laws, the state = liquor setup or the merit system, all = expected to come up for discussion in the Legislature.

“I Shall Keep Pledge”

“It was my pledge to the people = of Indiana, and I shall keep it, that - I would veto any law that would = produce a sales tax or any other form of consumer tax in Indiana,” - Mr. Townsend said. “That: means - that I would be forced upon my — oath to veto any legislative meas- - ure that would seriously alter our : F Diesen: tax program.”

Recommendation by Federal — prison authorities for a central su- - pervision of prison management and _ Classification and transfer of pris- = oneérs according to case records were — mentioned by the Governor.

=~ No legislative changes are needed - for the Insurance or Public Health ~ Departments, and banking law revi- -. sions should be limited to minor “amendments recommended by the = State Department of Financial In- — stitutions, the Governor said.

Explains Labor Authority

The labor authority would consolidate four existing bureaus and — provide means of arbitrating labor _ disputes, Governor Townsend ex- _ plained. — “I have heard both sides, and I ~ am considering the situation,” Governor Townsend was quoted as say- - ing today regarding the Anderson ~ strike. . He conferred yesterday with union - ~ labor leaders and Mayor Harry Bald=win on the Anderson Guide Lamp .Co. strike and the closing of the = Delco-Remy plant there. = Attaches of the Governor said he ~ had not received a request from ~ either side that troops be sent to = Anderson. - Législators today were discussing _ a proposal to halt the sale of real = estate Feb. 8 on which an estimated = $15,000,000 of property tax is de- " linquent. Delinquent property owners first a received relief in 1933, and the ~ moratorium was extended in 1935. — It was reported today that the tax ~ relief measure would be introduced soon, but it is not believed to have — Administration backing.

Women Voter Bills

. Two bills sponsored by the Indiana League of Women Voters - were presented today. One, intro- — duced by Senators E. Curtis White __ (D. Indianapolis) and William B. Janes (D. New Albany) calls for an amendment to the Constitution + making the Superintendent of Public Instruction an appointive official. The other, presented by Senator _ Hubert E. Wickens (D. Greensburg) _ provides for appointment by the — Supreme Court of the reporter of _the Supreme and Appellate Courts, ~The two measures are reported - to have tentative Administration - support. Senator White presented a labor-

~ supported bil} providing that all].

printing firms receiving public contracts pay the prevailing wage. Only ~ 20 per cent of public printing could be awarded to State institutions under the bill. ~ Senator Walter R. Arnold (D. South Bend) introduced a bill declaring a moratorium on the sale of property for delinquent taxes dur-

in another bill presented by Senator Arnold. There now is a moratorium against this issuance. One of the provisions of Senator .Johnson’s bill was that three members of the County Tax Adjustment Board be citizens and that one be a Mayor, one a Township Trustee and one a School Board member or School Trustee. Senators Charles H. Bedwell (D. Sullivan) and I. Floyd Garrott (R. Battle Ground) introduced a measure permitting banks and trust companies to make 10-year loans, if the loans are secured by amortized mortgages.

City Bill Reporied

The House Committee on Indianapolis Affairs reported favorably on a bill introduced yesterday which would permit the changing of city Ward boundaries every three years instead of every six years. The bill was backed by the Marion County House delegation. Rep. Bennett H. Rockey (D. Sharpsville) introduced a measure which would permit apprentice pharmacists who held that ratéhg rrior to 1920 to take the State Board examination to become licensed pharmacists. An amendment to the Public Welfare Act was introduced by Rep. George Wolf (D. Peru). It would release persons asking county poor relief from transferring to the county what property they may own, Petty Loan Amendment

A hill to amend the Petty Loan Act, similar to one introduced Friday, was presented to Rep. Harry M. Shull (R. Auburn). It would fix the maximum interest rate on loans less than $300 at 114 per cent. An amendment to the 1935 Drainage Act allowing all counties to solicit Government funds in financing drainage projects was introduced by Rep. James V. Kent Jr. (D. Hillisburg). The present act applies only {to the Kokomo area. Bills also were introduced giving local governments the right to acquire property for drainage purposes and | for municipal golf courses. Another was presented making it a misdemeanor to tamper with railroad equipment. The State Budget Committee is said to have made tentative drastic reductions in the proposed huilding program of two state institutions. Qnly $3000 of a total of $60,750 requested for the State Farm at Putnamville has been given tentative approval, while the entire building program of $132,500, requested by the Indiana Reformatory at Pen-

Conserve Soil, Agronomist Warns Hoosier Farmers At Purdue U. Conference

Indiana Crop Yields Have Shown Distinct Downward Trend Ever Since World War, L. S. Robertson Tells 5000 Farm Operators.

» 8) Times Special

LAFAYETTE, Ind. Jan. 13.—L.

management staff, warned Hoosier

S. Robertson of the Purdue farm farmers today that they must con-

serve their soil if they are to continue profitable farming.

More than 5000 farm men and women are here for the Agricultural

Conference, attending classes on every phase of farming and hearing

nationally recognized experts.

“Average crop yields for Indiana ¢

have shown a distinct downward trend since the World War, in contrast to an upward trend before,” Mr., Robertson said. “This is just one of the indications that productive capacity of Indiana farms is being rapidly reduced by soil erosion and depletion of fertility. “Even the best parts of the state are suffering from these soil losses and this destruction is the most important argument being advanced at this time for extensive adjust--ments in Indiana agriculture,” Mr. Robertson said.

Changes Discussed

Some changes discussed for Indiana agriculture for 1937 and following years included the shifting of considerable rough land out of agricultural use to pasture, forestry or similar purposes; easily eroded surface crop land to permanent pasture; woods pasture to woods not pastured; reduction of inter-tilled or cultivated crops, and increase in grasses or sod legumes; increase in use of winter cover and green manure crops in areas most subject to erosion, and greater use of soil conserving practices in crop production. ; Floyd Hiner, 36, Lewisville, today was judged “corn king of 1936-37"

who interviewed Governor Townsend yesterday, said: “We are leav= ing our case in the hands of the Governor.” Mr. Lambert said the Anderson police force has sworn in 100 special police “as a matter of protecting our citizens in event of trouble.” Mr. Thompson said the League was a foundation for a strike breakers’ organization, fostered by General Motors Corp., and identical to the “scheme used in Flint, Mich, which caused so much bloodshed there.” Mr. Lambert charged there were reports that strikers from other states would be imported into Anderson and “you know what that would mean. You have besn reading the papers of what has happened in other cities.” Mr. Thompson said that “there will be no violence unless the other

side starts it.”

Otherwise stalemated, the strike situation, involving about 12,000 employees in the Guide Lamp Co. and the company-closed Delco Remy Re Corp. resolved here today in such charges and counter charges. Mr. Lambert claimed that 95 per cent of the workers in the two plants “want to return to work without affiliating with the union.”

a few strands of hair were found beneath Charles’ fingernails, along

‘with a peculiar bluish clay.

This indicated the kidnaper was scratched by Charles as he battled vainly for his life, and that the criminal carries possible tell-tale scars on his hands, arms or face. Officials were puzzled by a fine film of sandy loam found on parts of the body. This, with other evidence, indicated that possibly Charles was first buried in a shallow grave, later exhumed, and

dumped in the snow just off a lonely country road near Everett, Wash. > Charles had been dead from four to six days when found, it was learned.

BRITISH DECIDE T0 FORGET DUKE

Moody Speaker Says People Sympathize With Queen Mary.

The British people have decided to forget the abdication of Edward, Duke of Windsor, and concentrate on strengthening the bonds of the empire, according to the Rt. Rev. J. Taylor Smith, chaplain-general of

the British forces during the World War. Bishop Smith spoke at noon today in Christ Church at one of the Dwight L. Moody Centenary sessions. “The sympathy of the people of England’ is overwhelmingly with Queen Mary in her great grief,” Bishop Smith said. “They thank God for their Prime Minister, who so beautifully, and in such a Christian spirit, dealt with the situation, and for the Archbishop, who faced it so courageously.”.

Mrs. Simpson Not Mentioned

The bishop did not refer by name to either Edward or Mrs. Wallis Simpson, but said the Empire looked forward with new hope to

the coronation of a new King. The Rev. Harry Rimmer, Duluth, Minn. spoke at the opening Centenary session in the First Baptist Church last night. Among other speakers was the Rev. Henry Ostrom, Greencastle. The Rev. Ernest N. Evans led the devotions and Howard S. Berglund was in charge of singing. The Rev. C. B. Nordland, Chicago, presided. Speakers today included the Rev. William Evans, Los Angeles, and the Rev. H. A. Ironside, in addition to Bishop Smith.

good of the citizens of the state, should be enacted in laws. I regret he did not recommend a $2.50 license for automobiles costing less than $1000, a practical school book law, and a minimum amount for old-age pensions. REP. FRANK G. THOMPSON (D. Bluffton), Majority. Leader:—The Governor's message was timely and good. The Legislators will follow his recommendations and leadership.

REP. CHARLES LUTZ (D. Indianapolis)—Labor is highly pleased with the message of the Governor and will co-operate in every respect,

Impressed With Sincerity

REP. JAMES M. KNAPP (R. Hag« erstown), Minority Leader—Anyons who listened to.the message of Gove ernor Townsend could not fail to be impressed with his sincerity of purpose. The Governor is endowed by nature with a lot of good come mon sense, and the word “showe man” is not in his vocabulary... which will contribute much to his being a good Governor. SENATOR FLOYD I. GARROTT (R. Battle Ground) —A very general statement and typical political speech in which he touched on everything.

ADOLPH FRITZ, Indiana State

Federation of Labor Secretary—One of the finest speeches I've heard.

Likes Law Stand

REP. BESS ROBBINS, only wome an legislator (D. Indianapolis) —His warning to the State Legislators that the State is in need<ef no new laws will be well received by the general public. I think legislators agree with the Governor on fewer laws. The Legislators applauded the Governor's statement that he had “no ambitious program” of legislation. As he left the platform, Governor Townsend was congratulated by Vir= gil M. Simmons, State Conservation Commissioner; Thurman A. Gottschalk, Senate president pro tem.; Attorney General Omer S. Jackson, Democratic State chairman; Speaker Stein, Lieut. Gov. Henry PF, Schricker and Frank McHale.

SEEK TO ELIMINATE

WORKER PAYMENTS

Employee Contributions Opposed by Labor Federation.

A move to eliminate employee ‘contributions under the State Un= employment Compensation Law was under way here today. The State Unemployment Compensation Board is to meet tomore row to decide whether to recome mend the change to the Legislature, according to Alex Gordon, labor leader and board member. The Indiana State Federation of Lakor is opposed to employee con= tributions. Employees now are required to pay one-half of the rate fixed for employers, except that their contributions cannot -exceed 1 per cent of their wages. Indiana is one of the nine states which have the employee payment Thirty-five states and the District of Columbia have enacted unemployment compensation laws.
