INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. FEB. IA
Gov. Warren T. McCray sprang n
surprise Monday when through the
medium OF an amendment 10 the
adm-. -stration tax bill in the house
OF Representatives, he asked for the
greatest power grant ever sought
by a chief executive OF Indiana.
In brief. the governor wants the
legislature shorn Of all tax levying
power and wants that authority
delegated to himself, the auditor OF
the state and the state board OF
an amendment offered In the house
by Murray s. Barker. OF Boone
county. when the administration
tax measure was up for second
reading Barker was selected by
Gov. McCray TO pilot the tax bill
through the house and when he Of
fered the amendment Il left no
doubt but that he was sreaking for
the administration.
Cut Tax Devies.
Under the present law the tax
board has cut levies made by the
Legislature based upon old valua-
tions. but the basic levying power
has always reposed in the repre-
sentatives and senators. That the
assembly may delegate it's tax levy
ing powers 10 some other body has
been upheld by the courts and 1t
IS presumed that the administra-
tion is acting on this established
theory IS asking for the power
grant.
BY the terms Of the amendment
the governor and the auditor OF the
state would sit with the tax board
in determining the various levies.
The far reaching consequences OF
such an act took the lower house
by surprise and for that reason the
majority members forced a delay
by making the change special
order OF business for Thursday
morning at 1890 o'clock.
II was a common remark in the
legislative halls Monday afternoon
that former Gov Goodrich. who eX-
ceIIed all other executives in de-
mandlng centralized power, never
had the temerity 20 support such
a demand as the present one proves
10 be. II was also recalled by many
that Gov. McCray made his primary
and his election campaigns largely
on his opposition to centralized
power.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Feb. IA
The lower house Of the Indiana
state legislature at the afternoon
session Monday passed the bill in
troduced by Rep. Beyler. but which
will be known as the Asa E. Mat

for the memory of the deceased
legislator. creating an additional su-
perior court in St. Joseph county.
The court would be located at
South Bend.
The bill. after passage by the
house, was referred to the senate
committee and is expected to be
presented to the higher body for
passage soon.
St Joseph county's demand for
a second superior court is near
realization as the result OF passage
by the house Of representatives OF
an enactment creating the estab-
lishment OF the tribunal at South
Bend. The favorable vote in the
lower chamber Of the state assem-
bly, at Indianapolis tends to assure
the ultimate success OF the measure.
Local attorneys have been instru-
mental in obtaining quick action on
the measure. A committee from
the St. Joseph County Bar associa-
ton, headed by John G. Yeagley,
pres't. appeared before the house
judiciary committee, following
which II was reported out unani-
mously and sent to the lower house
for consideration. In the commit
tee the bar association members

ing tackled onto the bill as a rider,
which would make the new court
serve jointly between the two coun-
ties.

The bar committee. according to
plans formulated. Will not relax
vigilance over the bill as 1t goes to
