Governor Paul V. McNutt's First. Year Administration

{Published by the Bloomington Evening World All of Indiana’s 650,000 - school children are in school. In more than 40 states that is not true., If it had not been for Governor Paul V. MecWNutt there would be moré than 100,000 children running around the streettoday because their local communities could not raise the taxes to keep their schools open only two to five months. Nor would they .have been able to have full school terms for the next two years. But Governor McNutt was determin ed that the blessings and opportunities of adequate education should not be lost to these 100,000 children. For this act alone the mothers and fathers of the state owe the governor their undying gratitude. : First in 100 Years No party platform in 1932 deciared in favor of the state supporting the common school system, as provided in our constitution. But Governor McNutt in his inaugural address and again in his message to the legislature, made forceful appeal for funds to assure that that,the schools would be kept open and up to the high standard of past years. To do this it was necessary that the state do its constitutional duty for the first time in more than a hundred years. Gross Income Tax This was brought about by the enactment of the Gross Income Tax law over as strong opposition as was ever shown against any measure. It gives $6OO a year to every teacher and insures that every school in Indiana will be kept open the full eight months and that every teacher will be paid his full salary. Indiana iz one of the four or five states that iz able to do this, Assuring the educa tion ofi more than 100,000 children is to our mind the most 'important legislative act of a half century. Cuts State Cost ‘Next in importance was the slash ing of state expenses. The legislature off 1931 appropriated more than 76 million dollars for the c¢nsuing two years. ; The legislature of 1933 the firs: under McNutt appropriated a total of 44 million doliars for the fellowing two years. iSee the acts of those two sessions for verification. Here is a clear saving of more than $32,000,000 the like of which was never before known in this state. Additinonal revenue comiag from fees will amount to less than $1,000,000. No legisiature in the past 50 years has cut the appropriation $5,000,000 let alone $32,000,000. State Levy Slashed When the appropriations are cut $32,000,000 that means the state of Indiana must live within that imcome as she is forbidden by the constitution to borrow money for running expenses. The special session of 1932, in its zeal to enact the $1.50 tax law cut the state tax levly for 1033 more than $9,000,000 under the levy of 1332 —or from more than $15,000,000 to less than $6,000,000. But the same special gession reduced the state appropriations only $2,000,000 leaVing‘ the next session to worry about the remaining $7,000,000 funds needed. | Besides that, the receipts from fees, ! licenses and miscellaneous sources of state revenue dropped off $2,000.000 in | 1933 and that left $9,000,000 to be rais | eq for the state treasury if the bud-' get was to be balanced by the end of the year as Governor McNutt -had . promised. ' '~ Balanced Budget ! But McNutt was equal to the occasion, and under hilg leadership the state cut expenses and created new sources of revenue, so that the year 1933 endeqd with a balanced budget. This was a feat in state finances never accomplished by any other govaernor, nor was any recent goveruor ever faced with so great a problem. iOnly three states in the union bal-

THROUGH their county corn-hog control associations, American farmers can follow the pathway to increased purchasing power for corn and hogs. Under the corn-hog reduction plan, they can organize to control production and they will receive the full benefits for their efforts. ' Although the Agricultural Adjustment Administration is charged by

anced their budgets last year and kept all the wheels of government moving. Indiana is one of those three states and stands easily first in the reduction of expenses and the practice of economy in all departments. : Consolidation Act.

This task was made easier by the enactment of the administrative and executive act, the creation of two house members and accepted by the governor and his advisors, Tt is copied after the New York and Virginia plans, which are regarded as the models for state government. All it dces is to make the governar responsible for the way the state is managed instead of passing the buck to department heads. Prior to that time the governor could hire members of boards and commissions but he could not fire them. Imagine any private business being run on such a plan. One or two examples justify the law. Public service cor.missioners reduced from five to three hold at the pleasure of the governor. A 3 a consequence the first nine months of the law shows mor: than $1,160,000 reduction in utility rates, instead of increases we had bhesn treated 1o for many years. No longer is there a public outery against this commission which is really performing the duties for which it was created. Another instance of putting responsibility on the governor. Transfer Employees ‘When the gross income tax was first collecteq last July the governor transferred more than 80 field examiners and other experts from other departments and sent them into the counties to assist the people In making out their reports for this new tax. TUnder the old law this could | not have been done excepting at an ‘extra cost of $l,OOO a day. But the governor can now transier employees from one department to another when ever an emergency appears. That is sound business, as is the entire law which was so roundly condemned at the time, but which no legislature will repeal. One of the most humane laws ever passed was the old age pension, It will take several vears to reap the benefits, but the twenty or more states that have had this law are loud in its praises. Indiana has come to realize that we can not turn our old people out to die ,a custem that is a relic of barbarism.

Back To Taxes

Going back to taxes, which are the big problem of government. In the year 1931 property taxes collected in Indiana for all purposes were $143,400,000. In 1932 the amount of taxes was §5135,400,000 a total of $278,800,000 for the two years, In the year 1933, first year of Governor McNutt, there was levied $98,000,000 but only $85,000,000 collected. For 1934 the same amount has been levied, but allowing only five percent delinquency, the collections will be $93,000,000 or $178,000,000 for the two years 1933 and 1934. This is just $100,000,000 less property tax than the two years preceding. Never before has such a reduction been known in Indiana. $lOO Per PFamily : If we add the gross income and other new taxes for the two years, approximately $27,000,000, there will be a saving to the people of $73,000,000 in the two years of McNutt or an average of $lOO for every family in the state. The last legislature broad ened the tax base by enacting the gross income tax, the intangibles tax and the excise tax, thus insuring property owners lower taxes for many years to come. Taxes would be still lower ifi the various counties, cities, and townships were not paying off more than $100,000,000 of bonds, requiring taxes of more than $15,000,000 a year. Now there is a moratorium on bond issues, so that taxes for this purpose will steadily decrease. , Model Bank Law ' The Indiana banking law enacted

law with the responsibility of directing the corn-hog reduction program, the actual sign-up of contracts and the local administration will be in the hands of the corn-hog control associations which will be organized in major corn-producing counties by contract signers.

Its picturesque buildings will be covered | with a heavy fall of synthetic snow, and from the eaves will hang glass icicles. In the village will be| a large, artificially cooled, ice skating rink. There will be German restaurants, typical in appearance ! and food of the Black Forest section. All of it, more than an acre in extent, will be brilliantly flood-lighted | at night. This is but one of the many new features to be seen at the 1934 World’s Fair. ]

in February three months before the new national banking act, contains practically all the safeguards that are in the natioanl act. It is regarded as the model state banking act in that it gives fullest protection to both ‘bankers and depositors. The last legislature abolished 975 township assessorg and provideq that after this’ year their work be done by the township trustee without extra compensa‘tion, I also combined the offices ofi the county surveyor .and county road superintendent thereby saving 92 public officials with salaries aggregating $200,000. . 'The moratorium on taxes practical1y assured everyhome owner in Indiana that his home would not be sold for taxes. No state could do more. Indiana is now collecting $2,000,000 a year from excise taxes that former1y went into the pockets of bootleggers. The enactment of beer laws reduced arrests for drunknness 75 percent in addition to the revenue it produces. -

Only High Spots

Enumerated in this article are the high spots only of the first year under Governor McdNutt, who has demonstrated that he is a man of brains anq ideas and possessed of the courage and energy to get them enacted into laws . The criticism leveled against him is the same that has been made against every executive who dared to change antiquated laws and customs. Already he has saved $100,000,000 to Indiana property owners ang insured the full education of more than 100,000 children whose schooling would have been stunted had it not been for his bold and courageous action. Those two acts alone are sufficient to stamp Paul (McNutt as one of Indiana’s greatest governors and he has served only one fourth of his term.
