COUNTY MAY BUY VOTING DEVICES
100 New Machines Needed, Official Says; Others Called Obsolete.
: County Commissioners are con-| §
sidering a bond issue to purchase more than 100 new voting machines at about $1200 each, and repair about 200 of the present machines. An inspection of the County’s 350 machines to determine how many can be rebuilt has been ordered by the: Commissioners. : Commissioder William Ayres estimated that about 160 of the * present machines, built in 1904, are Ybsoiete and should be replaced. The exact amount of the bond, _ issue, probably ranging from $100,200 to $500,000, will not be known until the: voting machine engineers complete their inspection of the esent stock, Commissioner Wilm A. Brown said.
Termed Inaccurate
Commissioners said that inaccuracies of many of the old machines saused considerable trouble in the last election and that some candijates blamed their defeat on defecive machines. Commissioner Ayres said that “while we are considering new machines, we should look into the possibility of setting up enough machines for primary elections.” : “Use of the machines in primaries would eliminate the central counting system |which costs the county about $40,000 a year,” Mr. Ayres said. “We would have to increase the number! of precincts to at least 600 but it may be advisable if all facts are considered.”
Some Voice Protests
Other Court House officials, who declined to be quoted, expressed opposition tc use of machines in the primaries, claiming they would be more expensive than voting by
paper ballots which have been used in the past. Voting machines have been used in the general election only. “Also some Court House officials
contended that Commissioner Ayres’ |
estimate that 160 of the present machines should be junked is too high, = - E “Twenty-five new machines and repair of the old ones will carry us safely through the 1942 general election,” one county official said.

Somewhere in Indiana today is a boy who will receive the honor. of being elected Governor of Boys’ State at the Fair Grounds here next wegk. But, although he doesn’t know it, he may end up with less power thany any of his predecessors. It- all. depends upon what the Indiana Supreme Court does with the G. O.P. “ripper” bill suit on which it will probably rule early next week, midway during the session of the State. American Legion officials, sponsors of the State which opens tomorrow, would appreciate it very much if the high court could delay its\ ruling for a few days. It would make their work much easier. : Legion officials will model the Boys' State government after the
exisiting Indiana government and, if the Supreme Court hands down
|a decision changing things around.
the Legion officials will have to get to work .and change the Boys’ State government around, too. If the high court upholds the G. O. P. laws stripping the Governor of most of his patronage powers, the Boys’ State Goverrior will have to be stripped of his.

DAYLIGHT TINE QUIRKS DEVELOP
[Corporation Counsel Advises
Against ‘Extra Legal’ Action by Council.
‘By RICHARD LEWIS
Although the question of the legality of Daylight Saving Time now seems to be beside the point, several new complications of a legal nature arose today in the wake of general adceptance of the idea. Corporation Counsel Edward H. Knight said that now it is not necessary for City Council to pass the pending Daylight Saving Time ordinance. In fact, that would be rather hazardous, Mr. Knight indicated, because it would establish a legal basis upon which the time change could be attacked through
the courts. The present status of Daylight] Time—a voluntary action stimulated by Mayor Sullivan’s proclamation—is protected from legal at-| tack by its extra legal nature. But once the ordinance is passed, the new time can be upset by any citizen who wants to start injunction proceedings.
Proclamation Only Solution
This development, which followed Governor Schricker’s decision yesterday to - postpone proclaiming Daylight Time on a State-wide basis indefinitely, brought some of the quirks of ‘the whole business into sharper focus. ; In the first place, Mayor Sullivan issued the proclamation on the theory that the Council would legalize Daylight Time by. ordinance in a few weeks. Now it appears. that the proclamation—conceived . as a stop-gap measure to avoid delay—is the only way Indianapolis can achieve Daylight Time at all, short of action by the Legislature. Mr. Knight said that™ the 1941 Genéral Assembly's action in repealing a law prohibiting the City from observing Dallight Time officially did not grant Indianapolis or any other Hoosier City the authority to institute Daylight Time. : Following the Corporation Counsel’s reasoning, dities and towns in Indiana may only exercise powers specifically granted to them by the Legislature. All else is forbidden, theoretically. “The Legislature did not authorize Indianapolis to adopt Daylight Saving Time,” Mr. Knight said. “So we may assume that the City Council has no legal authority to do so.” Should City Council pass the ordinance anyway? od “If they do,” said Mr. Knight, “it probably will leave the way.open for attack.” The ordinance isn’t necessary... .
C. of C. Asks Support
Meanwhile, the Chamber of Commerce worked overtime soliciting the co-operation of Indianapolis industry on the new time, to prevent confusion Monday morning. In a letter to all members, W. I. Longsworth, Chamber president, said that passage of the Daylight ordinance is favored by a substantial majority of the City Council and that the purpose of the proclamation is simply to gain the benefits of Daylight Time without delay. “To avoid confusion and. help bring about .complete community acceptance of the action of the Mayor and Council,” Mr, Longs- | worth said, “we urge all our members to conform, advancing their hours of opening and closing business by one hour as of 1 a. m. Sunday. “We believe this support will be whole-heartedly given, and so readily that the change-over will be accomplished’ with no disruptions or interference of any kind.”
‘Gladly Co-operate’
M. H. Morris, manager of the Indianapolis Merchants Association, said that “all retail stores who are members of the Merchants Association are delighted to conform with the Mayor's daylight saving proclamation and will glady co-operate by advancing their clocks one hour beginning June 22.” The Indianapolis Coal Merchants Association said its members also would join in moving the cloc ahead. . Following the lead of business institutions and most churches, the Indianapolis Public Library announced it will operate on Daylight} Time beginning Sunday. The Central Library will be open from 9 a. m. to 9 p. m. weekdays and from 2 p, m. to 6 p. m. Sundays. On Sundays, however, the Library’ will be open as a reading room only. The Business Branch and the Teachers’ Special Libraries at the School Board Building will institute their summer schedules Monday, opening at 8:30 a. m. and closing at 5 p. m. Monday through Friday and closing at 1 p. m. Saturdays. Te : Beech Grove Follows
Also adopting “fast time” will be the summer schools, the defense training program, the school building and grounds departments and the administrative office. : Mayor Charles Adams of Beech Grove said that after a town council meeting it was decided to advance Beech Grove clocks at the same time Indianapolis goes on
trols throughout the trip.”
