"LOCAL ELECTION BILL WINS BY 1

Precinct Bill Nearly Lost; Clerk Ripper Alsc Advanced.

Marion County Republicans’ two election bills were only two jumps from final passage today but one of them nearly fell by the waypide yesterday afternoon. The Senate-passed bill to permit the county chairmen to nominate precinct election officials from outside the precinct in which they are

to work was reported for passage by |

a majority of the Houses Elections Committee. But the minority in the committee recommended that it be indefinitely postponed—the worst fate a bill can suffer because it would be dead and so would others of the same subject matter. The Demcoratic minority charged: 1. That it violated the basic principle of “home rule.”

2. That it would permit the importing of “crooked” officials.

3. That it would make a dictator| £

out of the county chairman. 4. That fraudulent elections would be the result. Republicans claimed that it would

“promote good government” because |

it would permit more capable election officials to be appointed. Speaker James Knapp was unable to decide on a voice vote whether the House wanted the minority report for indefinite postponement to prevail, so a standing vote was ordered. The count was 42 for indefinite postponement and 43 against. The bill was advanced to second reading on a voice vote. Also ready for second reading is the bill sponsored by the Marion County Republican Committee to remove from the clerks of the seven largest counties the administration of voters’ registration. This bill also has been passed by the Senate.

'Real Guys’ Like to Putter Around Kitchen Like Dads

Miss Lord has found out that it doesn’t do for her to write menus on the blackboard or to have the loys halve or double recipes. They get confused. She has the menus prepared ahead of time and passes out typewritten sheets. When it comes to getting the art of cooking down to the intuitive one of “adding a pinch of this and a small amount of that” the boys can’t do it. They've got to have the recipes down in printed form. The idea of teaching boys how to cook is not new in schools. In some places it is done as sort of a stunt. But at Manual Training the history goes back to. the first World War. At that time a mess sergeant came in from Ft. Harrison and taught boys how to prepare food the Army way. After the war the course was discontinued. It was resumed at Manual Training several years: ago. Miss Lord doesn’t think any of her pupils aim to become chefs. More than acquiring a knowledge of how to prepare food, they are absorbing an appreciation of the culi-

nary art.

ASKED IN BILL

Carlson Introduces New Proposal at Request - Of Committee.

. Indiana residents who suffer damages as a result of acts of stale employes will have a Court of

_|Claims to which. to present their

claims, if a bill introduced in the Senate yesterday passes. The measure, authored by Senator Lawrence E. Carlson (R. Hunting-

ton) at the request of the Senate Finance Committee, provides for a court of three judges, all to be appointed by the Governor. No more than two members can belong to one political party.

Asked to Write Bill

The Board is to meet semi-an-nually in Indianapolis to consider claims for damages. The claims judged to be meritorious by the Court will be presented to the next session of the Legislature which will make the appropriation. The Senate Finance Committee instructed Senator Carlson to draw up .the bill after it had received a number of bills asking that damages be paid. Under the present set-up, no citizen can collect damages from the state except through passage of a bill.

Pay Is $20 Daily

The Carlson . measure provides that the three judges, all to be attorneys, will elect a presiding judge and [that two of them must concur on a judgment. The judges are to receive $20 per diem. Another bill introduced in the Senate yesterday by Senator Thurman Biddinger (R. Marion), Senator William E. Jenner (R. Shoals) and Senator Albert Ferris (R. Milton) would liberalize the present Workmen's Compensation Law. It is similar to a measure already placed before the Senate by Senator Charles Bedwell (D, Sullivan). The Republican bill would increase from 90 to 180 days the period during which employers must provide hospitalization and increase the base weekly pay rate to $18 minimum and $38 maximum. °°

Fire Truck Purchase Stalled As Pay-Off Rumor Smoulders

By RICHARD LEWIS

Hamstrung by rumors of “pay-|i

off,” the purchase of aerial ladder trucks to supplement the City’s fire fighting equipment remained an issue today—a political issue. The fire truck deal entered the political phase at a noisy City Council meeting last night when approval of purchase was delayed until next month by a split vote on party lines. Republicans lined up against the purchase after Harmon A. Campbell, Republican, flatly charged that a “payoff” was involved. Democrats, with two of their number absent, had insufficient voting strength to force the measure through.

Demands Jury Probe

At the height of the argument which followed, Councilman Campbell demanded a Grand Jury investigation of the “payoff” and hinted that the jury might be interested in “other things, especially the $1,000,000 that disappeared around here.” The reference to the City’s budget error of last fall aroused a general roar of merriment. But the argument continued unabated. The “payoff,” Mr. Campbell charged, consisted of expense money which one of two competing fire truck firms supplied a committee of City officials during an inspection tour of the equipment.

Expense Account Differs

The Councilman charged that the successful bidder paid all but $11 of the committee's traveling expenses which he estimated at around $500 This estimate was cut down to $75 by the representative of the firm which got the bid. Meanwhile, the representative of the firm which did not submit the winning bid and started the payoff rumors, failed to show up at the meeting to substantiate his charges. Mr. Campbell explained he had been informed “the man would ldse his job if he came up here tonight.” “That proves to me,” said Council President Jeseph G. Wood, “that this whole thing is nothing but the talk of a disgruntled bidder. I think we dignify it by making so much of it.”

Deluse Wants Proof

“There was payoff,” shouted Mr. Campbell. “A very definite payoff.” “All right,” Councilman Albert O. Deluse, Democrat, shouted back. “Prove it.” Mr. Campbell jumped to his feet. “I will prove it,” he declared. “I'm net saying anything I can’t prove. There are different ways to pay off. Do you think a private business would allow competing bidders to monopolize their committee This

During this: exchange, a few Councilmen who did not take part could not refrain from smiling. Called upon to explain the traveling expenses, the representative of the successful bidder denied he had attempted to monopolize the committee. * He warned that if the City continued to delay the purchase, the cost of ‘the equipment would rise because of increasing material costs. Already, the City stands to lose 2 per cent of the cash discount because of the price rise, he said. Council’s approval of the purchase by the Safety Board was postponed from the meeting two weeks ago when Republicans balked at suspending the rules to pass it, as a result of the “payoff” rumors.

Jose Seeks -Commission; City Pension, Some Tax Rate Changes Sought.

Solution of three of Indianapolis’ chief problems was being sought in measures pending before the Indiana House today. The question ‘of smoke control would be studied by a commission set up under terms of a resolution introduced by Rep. Oscar Jose Jr. (R. Indianapolis). The setting up of police and firemen’s pensions on a “sound” basis

after-a twa-year study by a threemember commission is provided by a resolution presented by Rep. Thaddeus Baker (R. Indianapolis).

Explains Smoke Action

A bill introduced by Rep. Thomas E. Grinslade would remove the present statutory maximums on certain departmental tax rates in the Ctiy. In explaining his smoke resolution, Rep. Jose said: “For a number of years the Indiapapolis area has had a major smoke problem. Steps have been

Grinslade’s. bill would remove the maximum tax rates for the City Health Department, Plan Commission, and the tuberculosis prevention, school health, sanitation -and park departments. “This proposal is in anticipation of the effect of a reassessment of real estate which many persons believe would substantially reduce the total assessed valuation of the city. “No reassessment has been ore dered but legislation has been intro duced to establish improved machinery for such a reassessment, Laws establishing certain departments of the civil city many years ago fixed maximum tax rates, which always have been sufficient under existing assessed valuations. If the assessed valuations are sharply re=duced, however, some departments, such as the City Hospital which already is near the maximum rate, would be seriously affected.”
