In The Legislature

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 21 (INS) — A group of engineers Tom the Public , Works Administration in Washington is working out of Indianapolis quietly making a survey of Indiana on die Proposed PWA program for electrifi

i cation of rural communities over the

state. They are here at the instigation of Governor Paul V. McNutt who. on his last trip to Washington, conferred J with PWA Administrator Harold L. ! Ickes whose pet project is rural elec- ! trification. The idea is simple enough if Congress enacts the proper legislation j and the states co-operate. Farmers J would join mutual benefit corporations, cither pool their money or obtain it from the Federal government. [ then proceed to sink poles into the ! earth ami string wires to the nearest town having an electric light plant. The utilities claim they would have done it long ago, but for their hard » and fast business rule that there must be a capital turnover with in three years on such outlay. It seems farmers do not use enough electricity to justify private venture, nor are they located thickly enough to warrant utilities building rural systems. Ickes’ proposal would permit farmers to obtain Federal grants for the projects, the farmers themselves doing the labor, with, of course, supervision.

Governor McNutt is in sympathy with the program. In his message to the legislature he asked for "an act j providing for the creation of non- ! profit public benefit corporations or agencies to provide for electrification of rural communities with the assistance of the Federal government." No end of people hopped to the conJ elusion that the governor was Tidors- ■ ing President Roosevelt’s Tupelo, Miss,, speech in which the nation’s leader chilled the hearts of private utility barons by proposing govemI inent-owned power projects similar J to the TVA for every state in the I Union. The Governor, explaining the paragraph to newspaper men. sent that conclusion into the limbo. In Indiana at least, the proposed rural co-oper-I atives would hook their wires onto ! private utilities where available.

not. His state program inaugurated in the 1933 legislature functioning to his satisfaction ami legislatures have been known to tear down a lot of playhouses in (H days. Rumors still persist the Governor would prefer to see the assembly adjourn at the 45 to oO day mark. But one dollar will get you three at the statehouse that die solons will vote to stay the constitutional 61 days—at their usual per diem, of course. The legislature began its tweltth day today. If figures still mean anything the following may give you some idea of how ’’hot’’ this session has been so far: House, since Jan. 10 106 bills introduced, 5 resolutions, 14 measures passed combined vote for the bills passed, 1319, combined vote against, 2. Senate, since Jan. 10 67 bills introduced, 4 resolutions, lb measures passed; combined vote for bills passed. 707, combined vote against, 2. When only fom /otes are mustered against 30 measures, it is little wonder reporters num. "All through the house, not a reature was stirring, not even a mouse.” There lias been a complete absence of debate in the Senate and only one brief flui ry in die house — Representative William Black, derm, vs. Representative Herb Kvans, Rep.,
