LEAGUE LOOKS AT The Legislature

After five weeks of the 94th General Assembly — with all bills in the hopper—it’s HEARINGS, HEARINGS, HEARINGS! Lobbyists and legislators alike crowd around the bulletin boards in the “fish bo»vl” (the glassed-in area behind the legislative chambers! to find the time and place of hearings and then to figure how to be in two places at once. Pressure now is to get the bills heard and out of committee. Chances of passage become slimmer each day a bill stays in committee, for the road to passage is long and rugged. Hearings range from a quite explanation of a bill by its author or sponsor to spirited exchange between proponents and opponents of a measure. The greatest crowds are those attending public hearings on: civil rights, bus transportation of private and parochial school pupils, and control of the Indianapolis gas utility. People who have never before attended the General Assembly sessions have become aware of its impact on their lives and seek to influence the passage of legislation. The halls and other public areas buzz louder each day as anxiety increases to get bills out on the floor and through the mill before budget and reapportionment measures begin to demand days of debate and attention. The fear is that the so-called "little'’ bills may get lost in the shuffle. Sheer volume of bills (over 1100 in all! means that many will fall by the wayside. Some are of limited application, some trial balloons, some duplication of others in the same house, some identical in the two chambers, and a few are “title bills” — those not intended to be passed as introduced, but to be amendc • forgotten areas of or areas in which theit uas not Hm; to prepare

a satisfactory bell before the deadline for introduction. In its second Saturday session last week-end, the House of Represenatives passed and sent to the House a bill, H. B. 1867, which would allow local communities to issue revenue bonds to finance plant construction for industry and to sign leasee for as long as 30 years. All firms which had rental agreements for the use of municipally built facilities would be bound to pay all taxes due and to maintain the buildings involved. Rent money would pay off the bond issue and no tax refunds would be used. Another bill designed to bolster Indiana’s industrial development is one which would set up a $2 million state fund for loans to local communities who want to develop plant sites. The House Ways and Means Committee wound up its hearings on the budget last Thursday and came up with a recommendation for a $1,714 billion budget for 1965-67. This budget will be discussed on the floor of the House this week. While Committee recommendations retained the cuts suggested by Governor Branigin from requests of the four state universities. they restored the full amount of the Welsh budget for state aid to local schools. Committee members felt that the state must attempt to keep up its present 31 per cent level state participation in the total cost of local public schools. In line with th- Governors recommendations, the House Ways and Means Committee approved an increase of $10 million for the Department of Mental Health, an increase of $10 (total of $25 million! for the deep water port on Lake Michigan, and $3 million in added funds for the Department Corrections. in cigar and pipe es would bring ir a.i c u..idled $2.5 million year-

ly. The proposed 2 cent a pack increase on cigarettes would bring in $12 million annually. A bill which could be of far reaching significance to Indiana was passed by the Senate on a 34-14 vote and sent over to the House for further action. This bill calls for a referendum in November, 1966, on the question of calling a constitutional convention to consider revamp-

ing Indiana’s 1851 Constitution. If the vote were affirmative, the next session of the General Assembley would have to pass legislation setting up provisions for the election o f delegates to the convention and designate the time and place for the convention to be held. Provisions would also be made for submitting the new constitution to the voters for ratification.

Authorities said they died of asphyxiation from a defective muffler which seeped carbon monoxide fumes into the car. Sheriff Clyde Perkins said the bodies were discovered by a sister and brother-in-law of the girl who had reported her missing Sunday night.

The bill, backed by Sen. Victor Green, D-Pekin, was approved 29-20 and now goes to the House, It requires anyone finding a stray dog on his premises to either notify the county sheriff within 72 hours or put an advertisment in the local newspaper in the lost-and-

found column.

State Sen. William Erwin, RBourbon, a farmer said he liked dogs, but felt the bill “is harassing legislation for those who live in the country.” “Kind people feed stray dogs and one of them may fail to read about this law and they might be imprisioned and fined $2,000," he said. Erwin suggested that the bill’s language which makes it a crime to restrain a dog or to entice it upon one s premises failed to take into consideration the facts of nature. Green was aided in defending the bill by Sen. Emery L. Konrady, D-Gary, who, recounted his personal experiences when his boxer was stolen and held

for ransom.
