$1,500, 000 SAVING

Lists _ State Boards| To Be Abolished By Decrees.

LICENSING HIT Measiires Would End ‘Auto Tag Branch Office Setup.

While Democratic Senators prepared a new liquor . bill to “insure abolition of the beer importer system,” Republicans in the House today prepared to introduce the first group of Bills in.a Jbudget-balancing program which they estimate would reduce governmental costs $1,500,-

000. The - Senate merit bill which would place some 5000 State Institution employees under the merit system was recommitted to the

committee on benevolent institu-|.

tions on the motion of Senator william Rupert (D. Brazil), who said the cost of placing the plan in operation would make the bill prohibitive. The Senate Public Policy Committee this afternoon reported favorably on a Senate bill granting the Alcoholic Beverages Commission the right to place liquor embargos against states discriminating against Indiana beverages. Economy bills to be: introduced by Rep. Paul S. Brady. (R. Muncie) and cther majority leaders would: Abolish the topographical survey conducted by the State Conservation ‘Department with an estimated saving to the State of $25,000 a year. Abolish the State Attendance Board :and place the functions of - this. agency back with : the county boards of education. It is estimated this will result in -a savings of $4000 a year. Abolish the State Housing Board with an: ftimated savings of between $6000 to ‘Abolish the gross a oe tax and _gtore license collection divisions and place these functions with county treasurers. The county treasurer would receive 2 per cent of all such collections and this 2 per cent would revert to the county general fund to be used to hire.additional deputies necessitated by the increased duties of this county office. Republicans said this would result in abandonment of the State office building at - 141 S. Meridian St. and save the . State. $500,000 a year.

_ Plan Auto Tag Saving

Abolish all State auto license branches and place this function in the hands of the County Assessor. Notary fees would revert to the County general funds. A bill to abolish the State Welfare Department and place administration of old-age assistance with County Commissioners also is being prepared. Republican Representatives estimated that this would cut in half the cost of welfare admin- _ istration. Under the Republican welfare bill, all recipients of old-age pensions who were physically and mentally able would be placed on County payrolls at one-third the regular schedule; of ‘salaries. The new Democratic Senate liquor bill will provide only for the abolishment of the port-of-entry system, according to Senator E. Curtis White (D. Indianapolis), majority floor leader.

Republicans and : Democrats are agreed that the importer or port-of- . entry system should be abolished. Because of the differences between the G. O. P. House measure, which has ‘advanced to third reading in that chamber, and the Democratic Senate liquor bill, legislative leaders said there was a chance of a (Continued on Page Four)

HOPE IS WANING FOR 3 TRAPPED IN MINE

GQODSPRING, Pa. Feb. 9 (U. P.) —~Resoue. crews digging frantically throughout the night virtually abandoned hope today of finding alive three young. men entombed in a bootleg coal mine here, It was pointed out that perhaps the only chance of survival of John, 23, and Lee Dietrich, 26, and Norwood Howard, 18, all of nearby Grats, was that mine timbers might have formed air pockets when the anthracite hole caved in at the surface yesterday. Water seeping into the mine pit also: lessened the trapped men’s chances. The accident was blamed on. recent rains and thaws which loosened the ground about the mine opening. The Dietrichs’ and Howard had been entombed since 11 a. m. yesterday.

PATRONAGE BILL PUSHED AHEAT

Reorganization Plan Floor Fight.

The G. O. P. 51-voté front in the House took its most severe battering

to.move to third reading the bill to return patronage powers to State officers at the Governor’s expense. This measure, which would amend the 1933 Reorganization Act, received a bitter verbal attack from the Democratic minority when it was considered on second reading. When Rep. Edward ‘Stein (D. Bloomfield), minority floor leader, moved tc kill the measure, he was answered by Rep. H. A. Evans, majority floor leader, who said: “This 'is a measure which we Republicans think we can: pass.”

Cites Social Aspect

Directing his remarks to Republican Representatives, Rep. Stein said: “Most of you know, or think you know what this bill is “about. have prepared a statement :on the Reorganization Act of 1933 which I am to give to you and have entered as a protest in the Journal. “Some regard this act as a purely partisan issue involving patronage issues. I would like to point out to you the broader social aspects of this act. “We all agree, I think, that the problems of government ' are more complicated than they were 25 to 50 years ago. Take the case of former Governor Leslie. He was only the nominal head of a loosely organized ‘State government. When: the depression arrived he was powerless to mobilize the forces of State government against the forces of idleness and depression and against hunger because of ‘an antiquated governmental system. “The Reorganization Act "was passed after conferences with leaders of both political parties and leaders of business, agriculture and (Continued on Page Four)
