LAST MINUTE JAM SEEN Only Seven Bills Passed After Five ~ Weeks of Partisan
With every major problem still undecided and less than three weeks. remaining of the 1939 session, it apreared certain that the Indiana legis lafue was headed for one of the most turbulent last minute jams of its long history. Five weeks of the 71st session have passed—five weeks of partisan bickering, heckling and sniping—and the assembly has passed and sent to the governor only seven bills none of them outstanding importance.
So slowly have the legislative processes been moving that none of the major issues such as liquor reform, election law revision and taxation, are even near the passage stage. Nor did it appear likely that many, if any of the highly controversial subjects would be erfacted. The Democratic senate is phimed to reject summarily any of the Republican reform. measures distasteful to Gov. M. Clifford Townsend, while the G. O. P. house majority may retaliate by refusing to sanction any administration| proposal, particularly the budget bill. -
The biennial budget measgure calling for appropriations of $81,490,000 will be introduced and house Republicans already are leveling their sights and have announced' they will try to reduce it by $3,000,000. Republican house members have said they will hold the budget bin 88 g club over the Democrats to force them to approve the G. O. P. liguor bill which ig on third reaaing in the house and will be passed and sent to the senate this week. . Unless a compromise is reached the liquor bill appears headed for certain doom in the upper chamber It this should occur, and the house Republicans cary out their threat, they could block enactment of the budget bill and force the governor to call a special session] to convene immediately afttr the regular session closes March 7.
Such a deadlock is far from remote because Townsend and other Democratg will not stomach the Republican liquor bill which would divorcec politics from liquor by creat ‘ing a four-member, bi-partisan commission selected from persons nominated by the state chairmen of the two major political parties. The house has not passed a single senate bill but the senate has approv ed four house measures dquring the _past week and sent them to the governor. ‘
Most important of these were two public health bills, one authorizing the state board of health to purchase and distribute pneumonia, diphtheria smallpox and typhoid serum to needy person, and the other providing free medical and surgical car and hospitalization for iridigentg -over 16, expensed to be borne by the counties. -

3 MOTOR TAX MEASURES UP Would Eliminate Divergion of Funds To Non-Highway o PurPoseg A The Indiana -legislature had under consideration three measures aesigned by the Northern Indiana Highway Legislative conferenice to eliminate diversion of motor tax funds to non-highway purpopses. A third bill also recommended by the conference and now before the legislature is designed to curb unsanitary conditions in restaurants catering to tourists. ' ’ The measures were drafted by a special committee named by the conference to plan highway legislation. Memibers of the committee are: L. H. Hammerschmidt, South ‘Bend attorney, William L. Travis, Hammond attorney, and Joseph H. Braum, general counsel for the Chicago Motor Club. “Believing that Indiana motorists ‘have not derived full benefit from the tax money they have paid the state, civic leaders at the South Bend meeting of the conference proposed measures in ‘skeleton form correcting this situation,” Mr. Hammerschmidt, chairman of the conference ' explained. : The first bill asked for re-payment of the two million dollars borrowed from the state highway fund for general state purposes in February. 1932, which has not heen replaced to date. e
Two of the other measuras proposed that the legislature strik: out the present statute whereby the state takes $1,250,000 from motor tax revenue annually for use in the general state fund.
“The fourth bill would require that employees of restaurants have a physical exjamirjation each yean and a medical certificate indicating freedom from communicable Jil- - a proposal which would benefit both the general public and restaurarft owners,”” Mr. Hammerschmidt pointed out. “It would help cafe proprietors comply with the state law prohibiting employmong of persons infected with contagious diseases who are uometiines un. knowingly hired ag watters and dishwpshers, and who spreal sickness without realizing it.’
Bill Passes Second Reading. Porter D. Crowell of Kendallville has returned from Indianapolis, where he visited the session of the state legislature Icports the bill which would increase from 5 to 20 percent the amount of land represented by landowners on a petition requesting the dredging of a ditch, may be passed. At present the bill has passed the second reéading in ithe house land should a favorable third roading be reported, the bill will be introduced in the genate. Most interested in the issue is Noble county conservation clubs, whose battle against the proposed dredging of the North Elkhart river is given additional impetus should |the bill be = adopted. Contending that dredging of the ditch would lower many lakes of the vicinity con gervation clubs have jjoined to oppose the proposition. ,
