SAYS NOT HOLDING
TWO JOBS SAME TIME.
Representative Axby protested his re-
tention as speaker and Representative
Decker demanded to know If he were
holding two state Jobs at the same time.
II am not" Mr.. Eschbach declared em-
phatically.
This statement was met with applause
from the majority side.
Representative Craig then demanded to
know If Mr.. Eschbach were on two stats
payrolls at the same time.
The speaker ruled him out of o=der
and ordered the roll call to proceed.
In opening the senate Lieut.. Gov. Bush
declared that he had not changed his
attitude against Capitalization Of power.
Whatever we do as q legalizing body
let us curtsil the power Of the tax
board" he said.
He characterized the members of the
supreme court IS men of integrity and
rs men well qualified to pass upon the
legality of an action.
Many members predicted the intro
duction of bills Immediately after the
governors message is read.
Tentative plans called for a rerub-
Hcan caucus tonight TO determine the
stand to be taken on the Goodrich pro-
posals.
ASSEMBLY TO BE
CUT AND DRIED"
Indications were that the assembly
would be OF q "cut-and dried" nature
with the governor IN complete control
The only opposition anticipated will
come from the few democrats in the as
sembIy.
Every move of the legislature will be
made with a view to determining the ef-
feet it viii have on the campaign and
election
The Goodrich bills are designed to
straighten out the tangled affairs Of the
administration so that it may be able
to present a solid front to the voters
as the record OF the party in power.
Inasmueh as 60 per cent Of the mem
bers of the assembly are candidates for
reelection. this purpose is aiming
toward a powerful effect.
There was apparently little specula-
tion as to what the assembly would do.
The only question appeared to be one
Of how long the session would last.
Guesses on this subject ranged from
one week to the full forty days allowed
by the constitution.
The question of organization had the
appearance of being a knotty one, but
the assembly was expected to untangle

that a law more or less has no particu-
lar consequence among friends
1t appeared to be certain that Jesse
E. Eschbach, chief examiner of the state
board of accounts, would be made speak
er Of the house.
WILL HE KEEP
BOTH JOBS?
The only question app ,ared to be one
of whether he would resign from his
present position for the duration of the
session" or whether he will decide that
an appointee of the Goodrich administra-
tion has perfect right to hold two state
jobs at the same time, law or two to
the contrary Notwithstanding.
The next question that comes up L.
that Of vacancies
There are a number of vacancies in
both houses due to deaths.
No attempt has been made to fill any
of them despite the provision that the
governor must call special election to
I'LL vacancies occurring previous to the
last session prior to a general election.
This will mean that several hundred
thousand Indiana citizens will be with
out representation.
More than half the bills themselves, as
prepared under the direction of the gov
ernor, are designed to correct mistakes
