LEGISLATORS DODGE
GOODRICH CONNECTION

The necessity of investing the powers
of the newly created commission on coal
control and food boarding In another
board instead Of the state board of ac-
counts was discussed freely by members
of both houses of the legislature today.
Both houses agreed with the conferees'
report that the state board of accounts
should comprise the coal commission and
food investigating board.
When it was remembered that Gov.
James P. Goodrich is by virture of his
office. an ex-officio member of the state
board of accounts, many members of
both houses thought it would be advis-
able to have both houses reconsider its
action because of the governors admitted
interest" In coal mining properties
through members of his family
There is growing feeling here that
Jesse Eschbach, speaker of the house, who
resigned as a member Of the state board
of accounts, will not be reappointed by
the governor
Yet this feeling Is counteracted by
some members of the lower house, who
say they are sure Mr.. Eschbach will be
reappointed as head Of the state board of
accounts at the close of the special SEES
sion.
So far neither the governor nor Mr.
Eschbach has committed themselves on
this question.
Representative Bonham, who from the
start has favored the placing of the
members of the state board Of accounts
on the coal commission, IS Of the opinion
that Mr.. Eschbach and the governor are
qualified" to handle the coal situation.
The governor has all the data on the
coal situation aud is In a position to
knowingly handle the subject" said Rep
resentative Bonham. Mr.. Eschbach hssl
always been Interested Ia obtaining
fair coal price and he will put his energy
into the deliberations OF the commits
sion.9
Representative Bonham feels that the
legislature viii not reconsider the coal
commission bill, although the general
talk strongly favors reconsideration.
Some claim that the bill might be de-
clared invalid by the courts on the
grounds that the governor is a member OF
the state board Of accounts.
Those who favor the coal commission
powers remaining in the hands Of the
staet board Of accounts point out that the
main objection TO the plan really IS the
fear OF the anu-Geodrieh men that tho
commission might 80 regulate the price
of coal as to result IN a reduction.
This would result in Goodrich receiv-
ing too much credit, the Goodrich sup.
porters point out.
Il is contended also that the coal com
mission bin is weak because 1t IS not
certain that a state board can regulate
legally the price of coal mined aud sold
In Indiana.
At this time 1t is being considered
seriously whether to reopen the question
in both houses, Il is said.

Cam.
Representative Clark Mckinley of Della

nounced Gov Goodrichs action in in
f1uencing the amending of the measure.

The board of accounts has no machin-
cry they can put into effect 70 carry out
the provisions OF this act. and they would
have no power.

Just as sensible.
You are simply making d farce Of the
bill
THE state board Of accounts has 20
chairman now. and the members ;1e
nothing but auditors"
Senator Duncan, chairman Of the SEN
ate conference committee, spoke after
4 Senator Elsner, in defense of the coal
commission act. and defended the action
of the committee in placing the duties
OF the commission in the hands Of the
board of accounts
He was interrupted by Senator Cravens
who. during the first week of the special
session. IN plain words, called the band
of Gov. Goodrich in regard to his nina
interests.
who composes the board Of &C
counts: :" asked Senator Cravens.
Il think the governor. Mr.. Eschbach
and Otto KLAUS. auditor Of state. com
pose the board" replied Senator Duncan.
Senator Cravens. upon the conclusion OF
the remarks of Senator Duncan. then
ton Of Gov. Goodrich. and the actions of
the assembly in the creation of this bill.
SAYS KLAUS DID NOT
TRUST GOVERNOR.
He told Of how the governor and Otto
Klaus had never agreed. OF how the
~zcuditor had no confidence in the COVER
nor and his principles. and said the pur-
pose of the special session was only for
the purpose OF appropriating funds for
the maintenance Of the states institu-
tons.
IF Otto KLAUS had confidence in the
governor, it would not have been neces-
sary for this session to have been called"
said Senator CraTens, for he could
have borrowed the money from some
other fund, and the next regular session
would have sanctioned the action, as
has been done in the past.
Il asked questions several days ago OF
the governor rega riding his interest In the
operation OF various mines in the state,
and it has been learned that he is inter
ested in several.
Now this assembly wants to pass q
bill placing the mower of fixing the
price of coal into the hands Of the gov
ernor and his tools. for Jesse Eschbach
IS merely i tool Of the governor. when
Goodrich himself is part owner of a
mine.
81 tell YOU this is one Of the most
high handed pieces Of legislation thar
has ever been brought before the state
of Indiana.
This commission, or the board OF
accounts has absolutely no power to tx
the price of coal, and il alone can not
cope with the coal situation.
The only power in the world thai

the big Five"

Washington, March s.-The big
five" meat packers were charged in
testimony given before the house agri-
culture committee today by j. III:
Montgomery Of Basin, Wyo.. with
having reduced live stock prices and
driven growers out Of business.
Mr.. Montgomery described himself
as "just an ordinary stock grower" /"
He deplored injunctions and ilnmun-
ity baths in proceedings against the
packers. =
'.TheI packers thrive on injunctions,' -
he said. "An injunction does not
bother them any more than insect
powder does cootie. The whole beef
packing industry should be put
through a delousing station"
Lack of action by congress in pass
ing legislation to control the packers
and recent court DEGREES are causing
a loss of confidence in both congress
and the courts, the witness said
These conditions are producing
Socialists. anarchists and Bolsheviks
faster than tho attorney general car

said.
Mr.. Montgomery charged the pack.
ers with efforts to influence stock
growers and prevent their protesting
against legislation for their control.
