Election
INDlANAPOl IS, Jan 1 (UP) Its lines of unity drawn strongly 1 around the incoming Democratic administration headed by Governorelect Paul V. McNutt, the 78th Indiana general assembly will open its : biennial 00-day session Thursday. Tax relief will receive the most emphasis. The outcome will test whether the state will share in the promised “new deal.” That promise is embodied m the following seven major administration I
proposals.
1. A personal and corporation in- | , come tax. | 2. A sales tux, either on manufac- ' j Uirt r*, retailers or on luxuries. 3. eltwriting of the intangibles I law in an attempt to put more em- | phasis on tax duplicates. 4. Modification of the Wright 1 "bone dry” law to legalize light liq-
uors at least.
5. A liquor tax law. (!. Reorganization of the public service commission, making it a three man body instead of five. 7. Reorganization of the state 1 highway department, putting in power a full time three member com- 1 mission instead of a director and a four-man, part-time body. Bills carrying out these proposals i either have been or are being prepared with administration approval Some may be introduced the first day of the session Thursday. Platform committees of the house j Mid senate appointed by Speaker Earl Crawford, Milton and Lieutenant Governor-elect Clifford Townsend, Mai ion, have been at work nearl;
twn weeks.
Another measure, more or le.-.. “off'the-recurd” among Democratic | leaders I ut regarded by them a among the foremost, concerns consolidation of state government depart
