That Gov Goodrich was one, of these

enormous profits taken at the expense of

there Is a doubt as to the exemption of

HOUSE FAVORS REPEAL
OF PRIMARY STATUTE

Repeal OF the primary election law IN
Indiana is now highly probable as
result OF the adoption by the lower
house of the majority report Of the
committee on elections, favoring repeal.
after a stormy fight on the floor Of the
house.
1t was brought out in the argument
that several of the representatives favor
the primary in the county, but seek to
abolish the primary for the state office
elections.
4 committee composed OF Representa-
tives Overmeyer, Miller of Marion county,
Benedict. Brandt. Gaesser. Dunn. Dean
and Barker Of Posey, favored the pass
age of the bill to repeal the primary
election law.
Representative Griffths was the mi
nority member Of the committee and
stood out alone in recommending the
indefinite postponement Of the measure.
Representative Barker of Posey de
elared that a poor man is prevented
from running for a political office under
the present system.
The adoption of the majority report
was unanimous.
That the bill for removing the control
of bond issues from the state board OF
tax commissioners to county officials
will be passed is seen to be probable,
following the adoption OF the minority
report of the ways and means commit
tee yesterday.
MINORITY REPORT
is SBSTITUTED.
BY vote of 81 to II the minority
recommendation for passage of the bin
was substituted for the maiority re-
port for indefinite postponemen+.
Representatives Mendenhall. Hoffman,
Newly, Givan and Swain constituted the
minority. while the majority consisted
of Representatives Barnard, Rothrock.
Tillman. Benz, Bonham, Miller Of Tip
pecanoe and Warren, Curry and Cooper.
In the fight which followed the re
port of the committee Representive Smith
of Gibson county declared that lit was
better to carry home to constituency
a piece of the pie, rather than none at
all" referring to the tax bin.
Efforts may be made to repeal the
present tax law 5y several members of
the house, who declared during the argu-
ment that they were dissatls with the
act.
The argument was well on its way to-
ward a political fight between the ma
iority and minority parties when Speaker
Eschbach called for order.
The house unanimously passed the en-
crossed senate bill No. 81, returned to
the house from the judiciary B committee
recommended for passage under suspend
ed constitutional rules.
The new law provides for maximum
of per cent interest to be paid for
school bonds for a period not 10 exceed
five years, and provides that they are
not TO be sold for less than par value,
with accrued interest.
The bin WIS introduced in the senate
by Senator Beardsley.
