on Feb. 2, 1932. The bill said this

of the State Highway. Commission as an account receivable. This transfer has been a point of argument ever since it was made. At the time of the transfer the general fund was in a tottery condition. A new. investigation was - announced by Senate Education Committee which is to probe activities of the Indiana High School ‘Athletic Association. This action came on the heels of the introduction into she House of a bill to retwn the i6-team high school basketball tourney to Indianapolis and to provide for athletic scholarships out of the surplus of the I. H. S. A. A. Meanwhile, farm and labor groups had joined hands today in support of the extension of the direct primary following a public hearing before the Senate Committee on Elections lastnight. Public hearings also were to be held today on controversial bills, including the House bill to give the State Barber Board jurisdiction in trade disputes and enable it to fix prices and closing hours. This measure is to be discussed before the House State Medicine and Public Health Committee at 2 p. m. ! The House Ways and Means Committee was scheduled to discuss bills to reduce the gross income tax levies particularly for the benefit of retailers. A public hearing also is to be held in the Senate on the bill to limit township direct. relief expenditures. Being prepared for introd: ction into the House are measures to require “secret societies” to file annual membership lists with the Secretary of State and to enable home |° owners to claim a mortgage exemption from taxation up to $35C0.

“Highly Controversial”

The measure to repeal the truck weight tax law has received approval of the House Ways and

Means Committee. Three bills were introduced on this subject, and all

ruled and yet he dominated every corner of the State House. Stephenson didn’t need a reorganization. “Then, of course, he became a . victim of the movement he led. He was tried before a judge whose impartiality was questionable, before a questionable jury.” Apparently feeling that the reso- * lution was designed as a political backfire to the majority side, Rep. Frank T. Millis (R. Campbellsburg) asked if the;man in question wasn’t the same D. C. Stephenson who ran for Congress on the Democratic ticket from the old First District. “I think the majority side should amend this resolution,” he said. “We ought to see that his expenses are paid here and that there are funds, for his entertainment. “You Democrats doubt that we will win in 1940. I do. too, if you are going to open the doors of out penal} institutions in order to qualify your voters.”

| Called “Tom Mooney”

Serine in support of the resolution, Rep. William J. Black (D. Anderson) characterized the former Klan leader as the “Tom -Mooney of Indiana.” “D.| C.

The’ almost forgotten House rule was called into use by Rep. Edward H. Stein (D. Bloomfield) in the attempt to have the bill thrown out which would provide a two-million-dollar transfer from the general fund to the State Highway Depart ment. Warning that this bill “was a raid upon the treasury,” Rep. Stein said: «If [this bill should pass it would hopelessly unbalance the budget. * There is nothing political in this. There is no use fooling yourself. Pass this and this session must look for al/new source of taxation.” Rep. Herbert H. Evans (R. New Castle), majority floor elader, asked that the measure at least be allowed to advarfce in the usual way so that the House could see it, while Rep. Roy J. Harrison (R. Attica) said in answer to Rep. Stein that “the budget is going to be un- * balanced anyway.” Drafted by Rep. Chester V. Parker (R. Pittsboro), the parliamentary question was whether the House should accept: introduction of this bill and allow it to be referred to committee. The first roll call was for acceptance by a 52 to 48 vote, but the Democrats, charging there wasn’t 100 Representatives presént in the | chamber, asked for a varification ‘and the roll called over again.

| Counts Stands Same

As on ‘he first roll call, the Democrats voted to reject and the id publicans voted to accept this bill. “\ “Several years ago a loan -of $2,000,000 was made from the highway account to the general fund. This would repay that loan,” Rep. Parker, who is chairman of the Roads Committee, said in defense of his bill. Rep. Stein denied that this was a loan and described it as a “transfer.” The question involved was the old fight of divergence of gasoline and motor ‘vehicle funds to other than road building purposes. On the sowond roll call the vote was 52 to 47 for acceptance and the bill was referred to the Ways and Means Committee. Rep. Parker's bill pointed "out that the $2,020,000 loan was authore ized by the State Board of Finance

Balloting was along party lines with one exception.

The measure would give all elected State officials patronage in their own offices. Such pafronage now is controlled by the Governor. The principal new bill introduced in the House would return the 16team high school basketball tournament and provide Scholarships Zor outstanding players.

Seek Salaries Cut

Other House measures introduced would: Enable a person delinquent in gross income tax to appeal to the

come Tax Division sought a judgment ‘against him for nonpayment. At: present the Gross Income Tax Division seeks to collect the tax and penalty tnrough sheriffs of counties. This bill provides a repeal procedure against the department. Reduce the annual ‘salaries of Supreme and Appellate Court judges from $10,000 to $8000, but the measure would not apply to any of the judges now on these benches as long as they continue in office.

Enable the irustees of Indiana University to establish a school of podiatry (care of the feet) at the university’s school of medicine and fix a tuition fee of $125 per semester. The bill would appropriate $15,000 from the State general fund to purchase equipment for the school. Provide for the election of County school superintendents. They now are chosen by County boards of education, composed chiefly of township trustees. Require that title of aharidoned churches, missions or other religious buildings shall, upon order of the Circuit Court, revert to the County. The County Commissioners would dispose of this property. Republican members of Judiciary “B” Committee signed the favorable majority report on the House Bill to enable the Secretary of State to appoint the Securities’ Commission, Democrats returned a minority report to kill. “This is a Republican organiza«~ tion measure designed to give the Secretary of State, a Republican, more patronage,” Rep. Judson H. West (D. Indianapolis) said. Rep. Herbert H. Evans (R. New Castle) admitted this was so, and said ‘the bill was designed to correct the “evils” referred to by Republicans in debate on the amendment to the Reorganization Bill yesterday. “I look upon this as an unholy,

O..P. on the reorganization measure, voted with the Democrats today. The rest of the House voted strictly along party lines, and the minority report to kill the bill was defeated 50 to 48. Then the majority report was adopted by voice . vote, advancing this bill to second reading. Senate bills introduced today would: Set up provisions by which county election commissioners may remove from the ballot the names of candidates who have died, withdrawn or been disqualified. Prohibit vicious cattle from wandering about the fields freely. Repeal the “full train crew” act passed. during the 1937 Legislature. Require applicants for certificates of title to state if auto is to be used as a taxicab. - Establish legal requirements concerning appointment of conservators of public assistance cases. The House advanced to second reading the bill to make it unlawful for, persons to obtain relief if they ie not in need. A flood of minor measures also came from committees and these bills were advanced to second reading without debate. - : Other measures introduced in the House today would: Require that material left along the side of drainage ditches be leveled and the surface of the soil outside the line of such ditch be left in such condition so that it can

Under provisions of Senator Ferris’ bill, which is to be introduced in a few days, the Board of Education would be composed of the following: Deans of education of Indiana .and Purdue Universities and Indiana State and Ball State Teachers’ Colleges, deans of the two non-State universities having largest enrollments in education subjects, one members named by the County School Superintendents’ subjects, one member named by the Cities and Towns School Superintendents’ Association and the State superintendent of ‘Public Instruction, sitting as an ex-officio member. Formal decision ‘to call Mr, Schricker as a witness was made at a meeting of the investigating: committee yesterday afternoon. “Mr. Schricker has made a study of the State’s selection of textbooks and has offered to aid us,” Senator Lane said. ¢ Mr. McMurray voluntarily joined the committee, which was meeting in his office, . shortly before it formally adjourned.

transportation. “If we do not get some place shortly with our investigation,” the Senator added, “it is likely that we will ask for an appropriation.” Senator Howard V. Johnson (R. Mooresville) said that the cost of textbooks affects four of five families .in Indiana and the public is protesting the increase in prices.

“Cost Up 27 Cents’

It was pointed out by Senator Walter S. Chambers (D. New Castle) that the cost had risen as much as 27 cents on individual books. : “We're going to get a list of all books with their prices and find out the reason for the changes and if the prices are justifiable,” Senator Lane stated.

When asked if he could give the |

Committee such a list, Mr. McMurray stated that any of the Committee could come in and copy the

figures and he would supply them:

with a list of the contract prices. A system by which school corporations would purchase the necessary books and rent them to the pupils was advocated by Senator Walter R. Arnold (D. South Bend). “With local adoption,” he said, “salesmen get around to the trustees and—” He then shrugged his shoulders. Senator Lane said Indiana textbooks were sold at 20 per cent
