House is still considering.

The state department’s budgel was cut $2,000,000 irom the recommendation of the State - Budget Committee and this proved the most serious point of controversy over the budget during yesterday and today’s consideration by the House. A total of $170,000 was restored by the House yesterday.

Denton Raps Slashes

Rep. Winfield K. Denton (D. Ev+ ansville), minority floor leader and a Budget Committee member, described the Ways and Means slashes as “penny wise and pound foolish.” He criticized especially the reduction in funds for various state boards which maintain checks on industries and professions.

Pointing out that these boards collect “much more in fees” than they are being allotted. Rep. Denton said, “The cuts in these boards

Denton Move Defeated

Rep. Denton was defeated yesterday in a move to have the Budget Committee’s report substituted for the reduced Ways and Means budget. After voicing his criticisms today when the. bill was up for final House passage, he said the State

After passage of the departmental budget bill, the House then turned to consideration of the measure to match Federal funds. Democrats and Budget Committee members attack this budget as fificritious” because most of its appropriations are back-stopped with clauses which empower the Budget Committee to appropriate funds if the specific appropriations are not sufficient match Federal money for Unemployment Compensation, Employment Service and similar projects,

DEBATE BOOST IN PROFITS TAX

Higher Rate -on Incomes Also Considered to Pay for Defense.

WASHINGTON, March 7 (U. P.) —Administration fiscal officials today are considering asking Congress to boost excess profits tax rates and the special 10 per cent defense levy on income taxes so that a greater share of government costs would be financed by revenue in 1942.

The budget for the 1942 fiscal year, beginning July 1, contemplates revenues of $9,000,000000 for a spending program estimated at $17,500,000,000. The difference, under the present budget, would be financed by borrowings and other financial transactions. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau Jr. favors financing the costs of government—including the defense program—on a ratio of two-thirds revenue and one-third borrowing. On that basis 1942 revenue would have to be increased to nearly $12,000,000,000. The newest defense financing plan gets under way May 1, when the Treasury issues special defense savings stamps and certificates ranging in denomination from 10 cents to $1000. Denominations between 10 cents and $1 will be in the form of stamps, officials said, which will be exchanged for $25 bonds when enough have been accumulated. The certificates probably will bear an interest rate of 2.9 per cent, compounded semi-annually. The present special defense levy on income taxes—the so-called tax-on-tax—is 10 per cent of the regularly computed income tax.

Schricker Vetoes 2 Reorganization Bills; Signs 10 Acts fo Make Total Approved 99

The G. O. P. platform measure ernor to a board consisting of the

that would transfer all powers now

held by the State Agricultural Board to Lieut. Gov. Charles M. Dawson was vetoed today by Governor Schricker. Also another G. O. P. “ripper” bill placing the State Board that concucts examinations for certified public accountants under a Republicanlominated commission was vetoed by the Governor. The veto message on the agricltyre bill stated that the Constitution provides that only the State Senate can elect a substituge Lieutenani Governor. “In other words, if the Lieutenant Governor dies or resigns from office there is absolutely no provision for selecting an interim Lieutenant Governor except when the General Assembly is in session,” the veto message stated. “Since this bill centralizes all power and management of the State Fair Grounds in the Lieutenant Governor, it is apparent that if the Lieutenant Governor, for any reason, should be unable to continue in office, there would be utterly no authority with which to discharge the affairs of agriculture.” Under present laws most of the agriculture powers are vested in the Agricultural Board but the new law leaves the board to function only in an advisory capacity. “This fatal effort to center in the Lieutenant Governor broad executive powers renders the bill unconstitutional,” the Governor said. Another hill passed by Legislature provides that the State Auditor act as substitute Lieutenant Governor but that bill has not yet been acted upon by the Governor. The veto message on the accounts board bill stated that transfer of control of the board from the Gov-

State Auditor, Secretary of State and the Governor “is an unconstitutional delegation of executive authority to appoint executive officers.” “I recognize the authority of the Legislature to abolish an office which it creates, but the Legislature has no authority to remove or discharge an officer as that is an executive function,” the Governor stated. : Ten more bills were signed today by Governor Henry Schricker, bringing to 99 the number of bills he has approved during the session. They will: . 1. Place all children born out of wedlock under jurisdiction of Juvenile Court in Marion County and make all proceedings confidential. 2. Require State Highway Department to improve all driveways at State institutions. . 3. Prohibit lowering the water level of lakes more than 12 inches, if it covers more than 20 acres.

4. Codify Indiana insurance laws'§

with respect to reinsurance of all that part of a company’s risks in excess of 15 per cent. 5. Require any suit against doctors or hospitals based upon professional services to be filed within two years. 6. Entitle children of disabled war veterans to receive four-year scholarships to state colleges. 7. Add to those eligible to vote by absentee ballot any person employed in another city, attending college or away in military service. 8. Amend the 1933 school tax law to require local units to make financial statements of working balances annually and compel payment of
