LEGISLATORS EXPECT TO PUT THROUGH PET MEASURES THIS YEAR ' (By Associated Press.) INDIANAPOLIS. Dec 20. Only few . new laws will be enacted by the Indiana legislature at Its session, beginning next month, if the wishes of Governor-elect McCray, Republican State Chairman Wasmnth and other party leaders are carried out by the big Republican majorities in both house and senate. No program has yet been outlined but with the expressed wishes of party leaders, many legislators see the chance for the calendars embracing many of their own pet measures. Administration bills probably will be confined to three which the governorelect is understood to consider of prime importance the establishment of a budget system to control state expenditures, repeal of the primary election law and remedial tax legislation. Consider City Government. Another measure that may come to the fore is that for the city manager or commission form of government for Indiana cities. This measure, like the tax changes and the primary repeal, is expected to bring sharp lineups in both houses. Before any of these measures get before either house, the plan of party leaders is to get consideration of the appropriation bill. Included in this measure it is expected will be definite decision for immediate construction of new buildings at several of the state institutions, and the grant of increased funds for education. The governorelect has told the legislators he favors such increases, but has added that tho heavy requests for funds will compel the practice of economy in other expenditures. Budget System Measure. Upon the plan for the establishment of a budget system, it is expected by assembly leaders, there will be little opposition. But repeal of the primary election law and tax measures will develop a divergence of opinion, it is said. Mr. McCray has been seeking information regarding budget systems and has given much consideration to the plan established in Illinois under the administration of Governor Frank O. Lowden. Tax legislation has been one of the principal topics in the Indiana assembly during the list few years. It will again come to the front as an Important subject of dissatisfaction in rural communities with the present tax laws.

The Bohemian govtrnmont will invite representatives of every nation in the world to attend our 1921 convention." Issbrucker said the Moscow Pravda, " official organ of the soviet government, reported that Esperanto waf to be made an obligatory course in the - Russian schools.

Norwegian Sailors Abuse Seaman's Act (By Associated Press) CHRISTIANIA, Dec. 20. The clause in the American Seamen's Act making it impossible in American ports to arrest sailors deserting their vessels. has been taken advantage of by Norwegian sailors. Shipowners say the sailors desert from Norwegian ves sels at American ports and sign on other Norwegian boats at American wages, thus netting them a good profit at the present rate of exchange This practice has caused shipowners so much trouble that the Norwegian Shipowners' Association has warned officers and shipowners against hiring deserters in American ports. Several Norwegian shipowners required the crews on vessels bound for America to sign bonds as security against desertion. it a sailor deserts his snip, captains are supposed to return the de serter's papers to the shipowner who will take out a warrant in the Norweg Ian courts.

nPHE automobilist appreciates good gasoline most when he steps on the throttle and notes the efficiency in performance of his engine-yblueprint efficiency alone means little to him. Knowing this, the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has devoted much of its energy to the development of a motor gasoline which not only stands the grueling test of research laboratories, but which has proved its efficiency in thousands of cars operated under everyday road and weather conditions. The Company has studied the needs of the motonst at first hand, and has developed Red Crown, its motor gasoline, to a point where it meets exactly the needs of the automobile engine operating under conditions obtaining in the Middle West. The efficiency of Red Crown symbolizes the spirit which animates the Company as a whole in its endeavor to render an intelligent, efficient service to the public generally. The tremendous increase in the number of automobiles and trucks from 1,253,000 in 1914 to 7,459,507 in August, 1920, has made more apparent than ever the absolute necessity of a comprehensive, dependable system of distribution. The development of such a system has changed from something merely desirable to something vitally necessary. The best gasoline in the world is useless if you cannot get it when you. want it. Every step from refining to final delivery is of sucn importance to the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) that its interest never abates until its gasoline is delivering maximum motor mileage; until its lubricating oils are helping do the work of the world to the satisfaction of the ultimate consumer. The greatly increased yield of gasoline which this Company has been able to recover from the crude obtainable has been accomplished without sacrifice of quality. Red Crown and Polarine performance are the best proofs of Standard Oil Company (Indiana) service. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) ,
