MANY BILLS UP-TO-DATE 173 Bill Introduced In ..Legislature So Far—Biils To Be Introduced Will Break All Record After having been in session for ten days the Indiana General Assembly has before it about the usual number of bills 106 House 67 Senate total 173 although Lieutenant Governor Townsend has predicted in a public address that the number of bills to be introduced probably will break all previous records for numbers. Of the measures presented'to the legislature thus far, 54 have to do in some manner with taxes. Nine bills are administrative in character and merely make changes in existing laws or clarify the duties of state departments. Thirteen would reduce taxes, if enacted into laws, twenty-three would increase taxes and nine are doubtful. Two new bills have to do with old age pensiong and each would increase ‘public expenditures for that purpose. ‘One of these measures seeks to have ‘the state take over the entire admin;istration of the pension law. - The other would increase monthly payments and reduce the age at which citizens may become eligible for pensions. It is proposed that a part of the pension funds be obtained from gross income tax collections, A bill intended to simplify town government would cembine the offices of clerk and treasurer in all incorporated towns. An effort is made in another bill to, permit the Highway Department to pegotiate loans whereby it will have funds to match federal money allotted to the state. House bill We. 41 is an important measure and should be kept in mind by the peaple throughout Indiana. it would amend the act of 1899 and require that when wasoline funds are distributed to countieg all such allotments shall go to the eounty councils, to be retained by the councils until expenditures are authorized by appropriations. At the present time this part of the gasoline money is spent by county commissioners as they see fit. At this early date in the life of the session it is apparent that many interestes profiting by the expenditure of these gasoline funds are preparing to fight this bill and strenu ous efforts will be made to Kkill it. It the bill becomes a law and gasoline fund expenditures are restricted to such needs as the county councilg authorize, it is believed that millions of dollars wil be saved annually. ; .
A bill to legalize betting on horse races is known as a revenue producing measure but already it has aroused opposition from = various groups and from different parts of the state, The NRA stabilization bl is one of the measures intended to enable the state to cooperate with the federal government. The bill affect ing the Governor’s committee om unemployment is another that proposes closer cooperation with the federal authorities. Owners of automobiles will be interested in a bill to reduce license fees to a flat rate of $4 annually. Another would cut the gasoline fees from 4 to 3 cents a gallenm and a third would make the drivimg licenses good for three years. Under the present law they must be renewed annually. One of the plans for new state institutions geeks: an appropriation for $250,000 to build a new tuberculosis sanitarinm. Senate bill No. 54 is an important measure. It seeks to have the terms of all township trustees expire on Decemper 3t of their last year in office., With: terms beginning January 6 it has been found that trustee with less than a week to remain in office have expended large sums from current appropriations, leaving their suceessors to wrestle with problems of depleted funds. Governor McNutt has signed an act to extend the moratorim on tax sales for two years and he also has affixed his signature to two emergency measures correcting the election laws:

Would Reallot Gas Tax Fund
Proposals for redistribution of the counties’ share in the state gas tax fund were being drafted for legislative action - following a meeting of officials of 18 counties. b - Under a program advanced by John A. Kelley; Michigan City Laporte county surveyor and highway superintendent, the fund would be reapportioned to increase amounts: received by 31 counties. The share of cities, towns and the state would ‘not be readjusted under, his proposal. - Nearly 100 officials of counlies seeking redistribution discussed the proposal. ' : Kelley’s plan, which woild reanot the funds gn a basis of population, instead of mileage drew bitter opposition from officials of sparsely populated counftties whose roads it was contended are heavily traveled by city traffic. Leading the opposition wete Caaun ceyy W. Duncan, WRushville, Rush county attorney, and State Representative James A. Moody of Fremont. Kelley was supported by Samuel Feiwell, St. Joseph county attorney ‘who gaid that many counties under the 1932 redistribution system have insufficient' funds to maintain roads. Under the present law, the 4-ceut state gas tax ig divided as follows. State, 2 cents; cities and towns, 4 cent and counties, 1.6 cents. o 1 Under Kelley’s plan, the quarterly increase provivded by the redistribution would be: : Elkhart, from $29,000 to $34,000; Noble from $23,000 to $29,000; DeKalb, from $21,000 to $26,000; Allen from $56,000 to $73,000; Kosciusko, from $30,000 to $35,000. | Decreases in allotment - would reduce Whitley from $17,000 to $16,000.
