HEAR LEGISLATORS — Members of the Ligonier Chamber of Commerce heard state Senator John F. Augsburger and state Representative Ellsworth Peterson speak on the recent session of the Indiana General Assembly last Wednesday evening in the bank's public meeting room. Nineteen persons were present. Rep. Peterson called the session “rough but productive." He defended Gov. Bowen’s tax bill, but advised Noble county to hold off on the local option tax until they see how it works in other counties. The Bowen plan should give 20 per cent property tax relief. The two per cent cigarette tax is aimed at helping towns and cities with burdensome police and firemen pension plans. He favors the increase from 10 to 32 mental health centers. He added that he had 300 returns on a questionnaire against Sunday liquor sales, which he voted against. He called the bill “discriminatory.” He also said he voted against the equal rights amendment. Sen. Augsburger said he favored lobbies, calling them “needed.” He praised Lt. Gov. Robert Orr for his concern for rural areas. He said in his five years in the assembly, the recent session was the most productive, best organized. He said there were 347 bills passed. As chairman of the penal and mental institutions committee Augsburger found “things in a deplorable condition" at Westville. He wants to work toward upgrading mental institutions and prisons, particularly the woman’s prison facilities. Augsburger said he voted against Sunday liquor sales bill and against ERA, and for pensions for Viet Nam veterans. He does not anticipate a tax bill at the next session. The two representatives were introduced by Kenneth Schuman, chamber president, who asked for a more stringent tax package based on net profits rather than gross business. Rep. Peterson said he could see this concern, but that “we must take one step at a time” in any new tax bill. Both speakers said next year’s session should be a “clean-up session." Telephone company executive Phil Schloss said the new gas tax “is a tax on a tax," calling it “unconstitutional." Both speakers defended the tax as common place. Also, the Indiana inventory tax came in for some hard criticism both from the speakers and from the audience. The session lasted nearly two hours.

Plementarv all received county soil and water district, tonorable mentions. Posters were judged on subject matter, neatness and Twenty grades participated in imagination. They will be shown the annual contest. Judges were in Albion and also at the Noble the Ladies Auxiliary of the Noble county fair in August.
