GOVERNOR WILL
CONFER ON COAL
AND FOOD BILL
Continued From Page One.)

the governor will hold his proposed COM
ference with the other members of the
state board of accounts on Saturday.
EXPECTED TO SIGN
AFTER CONFERENCE.
Following that conference the governor
is expected to sign the bill.
Speaker Eschbach and Lieut.. Gov.
Bush have announced that they have
signed the coal and food commission bill.
Representative Bonham of the con-
ferees committee has presented the en-
crossed bill to the governor for his sig
nature.
The coal commission bill as agreed up
on and adopted by the senate and the
house literally puts Gov. Goodrich In
complete charge of the coal situation in
the state, with the exception of having
power to condemn mines and take them
over for operation during an emergency.
The bill gives the members of the
state board Of accounts as the coal com
mission the right to determine the price
of coal in Indiana.
This practically puts Gov. Goodrich,
who is interested directly and indirectly
in numerous coal mines, in a position in
which he can regulate the price Of his
competitors coal.
1t is expected that a vigorous action
viii he instituted In the courts to de-
termine the legality of this bill the
minute the coal commission attempts to
regulate prices.
The fear that the coal commission will
bungle the matter as the state board Of
tax commissioners did by ordering Illegal
horizontal increases in tax assessments,
has led many members Of both houses
to think seriously of reconsidering the
coal commission bill and placing the func-
tions and the powers in another board
which does not have Gov. Goodrich as a
member.
There developed decided opposition in
both houses against the commission bill,
when It was learned that Gov. Goodrich
was a member Of the state board Of &C
counts and would function as a member
Of the coal commission By virtue thereof,

on an amendment making home rule on
bond issues effective Jan, I, 1921. in
stead Of on passage OF the act. as FRO
vided In the senate amendments.
As the bill left the house, it pro-
.vlded that the number Of petitioners
| necessary to carry an appeal from the
officials having initial jurisdiction in
bond issues must be fifteen
An amendment made by the senate
changed this figure to fifty, and the con-
ference committees have agreed that
twenty people shall be sufficient to carry
an appeal
1t is understood that the committees
have also agreed that the interest rate
on bonds shall be either Al or 5 per
cent, Instead of per cent as the senate
amendment provided
AS passed by the house. the bill pro-
yided that the interest rate should be
four and ole half per cent
One Of the important amendments
agreed to by the committees in confer
ence Is one that is designed primarily
to save the position held by Fred A.
Sims, chairman Of the state board of tax
commissioners.
An amendment added by the senate
provided fun authority for the gov.
ernor to order the summary removal Of
any member of the tax board

derstanding" will bring no aid to the
democrats this fall.
The appointment Of Hoffman to the
head of the speakers bureau is regarded
as the first step In the execution OF The
News's plan TO divert the democratic
party from state issues in this campaign
PLAN TO AVOID
STATE ISSUES.
1t is, Of course known that as head
of the speakers bureau Mr. Hoffman
can manipulate assignment OF speakers
SO that those orators who will talk ex-
cluslvey of the national issues will get
the best assignments.
The generally accepted plan Of pro-
cedure is to have these speakers on ma
tional topics headlned in the News,
thereby giving that paper an opportunity
to point to its league CT nations reports
in its news columns as indications Of It's
support of democracy and at the same
time keep its editorial columns free from
any comment on the league issue that
mieht tend to offend its republican fol-
lowing.
The effect of this will be to deprive
tho democrats OF a certain amount OF
publicity concerning state issues which
they would otherwise obtain.
The whole understanding, which was
brought 10 a head just before the demo
cratic powwow at French Lick, is moi
some to many democrats and there IA
now on foot movement to organize o
group of speakers who will work indie
pendent of the News Hoffman bureEu
end do their best to prevent the fertile
field OF Goodrichism from being over
looked in the state campaign.
