LEAGUE LODES AT The Legislature

With less than a week remaining in the 94th session of the Indiana General Assembly, our state legislators are putting in long hours to complete action On bills before them. The casual observer of the House and Senate sessions notices that conaideration of bills proceeds with

more dispatch in the House than in the Senate where action is more deliberate. In the House, the Speaker decides which bills to put on the calendar. He has wide latitude regarding the order in which bills are handed down or whether they are put on the

calendar at all. However, in the Senate, each member on roll call each day may call down a bill eligible for second or third reading. The committee to which a bill is assigned may speed up its progress by prompt committee action and a ‘‘do pass’’ recommendation, or the committee may delay consideration, refuse to report the bill at all, or report it without recommendation. Lobbyists watch carefully each step in the legislative prbcess and are well aware of the hazards faced by every bill. Although considerable work remains to be done on the big issues of budget, taxes, and reapportionments, the fate of some bills has been decided. A bill that would have transferred poor relief from the township trustee to the county welfare department in six of the most populous counties was defeated in the Senate last Wednesday by a vote of 20-25. Marion, Lake, and Delaware Counties had already been

amended out of ‘the bill. An identical bill in the House is likewise considered dead for this session. A bill to establish a threejudge Indiana Tax Court was also defeated last week. Some opponents objected to the appointment of judges by the Governor and to the absence of provisions for a jury trial. Others thought the tax court would not have sufficient cases to keep it busy. The Senate Finance Committee late last week reported out H. B. 1077 on aid to dependent children with the recommendation that the maximum payment to a mother and one child be cut from $100 a month proposed by the House to $80. The present payment is $64. The committee also recommends that monthly

payments for additional children be raised to $23 rather than on the sliding scale ($23 for second children, $20 for third children, and $17 for additional children) proposed by the House. The ADC program as outlined by the Senate Finance Committee will cost an additional $1.2 million in the

next biennium.

Fifteen Republican Senators j joined the Democratic leader-; ship in defeating the tax program of Senator Nelson Grills to repeal the sales tax and replace it with a 3y 2 per cent income tax on individuals and a 13 per cent adjusted gross in-1 come tax on all corporations. Thus it appears that Indiana’s tax structure shaped by the 1963 General Assembly will remain essentially in tact.
