tributes to Chaotic Eco

PARIS, Feb. ls.-Disorganization
OF transportation through lack Of
railway rolling stock-locomotives
and freight cars-has much to do
with the present chaotic economic
conditions in the countries Of cen
trail and eastern Europe. The fore

of the American Red Gross from its
workers in Poland, Finland, Estho-

The former country has a large

enough grain for herself. and the

yet through railway equipment she

TABOO LEGISLATION
FOR ERECTION OF
PUBLIC BUILDINGS
Congressional Leaders Cite
Legislative jam and Con-
diti0n of Treasury.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. - The
prospect of legislation for the con-
struction of public buildings in In
diana and the other states has gone
glimmerinE.
Not only will there be no legis-
lation at this session OF congress
for the construction of public
buildings but the congressional
eaders have taoooed such legisla-
ton at the coming sIecial session.
Presumably. in doing so they are
acting in harmony with the wishes
of the incoming national admins
tration.
This will cause disappointment in
4 great many towns and cities
which are hoping either for new
jostoffice structures or for the re-
modelling and enlargement OF the
present structures 10 make them
'onform more nearly TO the press
ng needs of the service.
Rep. John w Langley of Ken
ucky. chairman of the house COM
ni.tee on public buildings and
rounds, has sent letters TO all of
he 435 members Of the house ad-
Using them that owing TO the legis-
alive jam and the condition Of the
reasury it is impossible to secure
lction on an omnibus building bill
Il the present session.
May BE None for Years.
While Chairman Langley says
! .othing in this letter about the pos
sibility OF passing such d bill at the
coming special session 1t is known
that he is very dubious in regard
to il. The leaders with whom he
has consulted have stressed the ne
cessity of economy and have point
cd out that an, omnibus building
bill. Matched up TO catch votes, is
anything but economical Their at

Predict Passage.
Several administration bills are In
various stages but it Is generally
predicted they will all get through.
In fact, the measures favored BY
Gov. McCray are the only cnes OF
Importance that have been intro
duced. The budget bill, developed
at the express wish Of the governor,
has already passed the senate and
is now awaiting INTRODUCTION in the
house. The tax bill carrying with II
an administrative amendment that
Will take the tax levy Lower from
the. hands OF the legis ature and
place il with the state board OF tax
commissioners, the governor and
the auditor OF the state, has been
sent to engrossment by the house.
An amendment 10 the highway
law providing for system of coun-
ty patrols is another administration
favorite that has passed the house
and IS awaiting introduction IN the
senate.
The bill calling for the creation
of a central board of trustees for
the state universities, a part OF the
centralized power scheme of the
governor. IS resting in the house
committee on education. 1t il
doubtful if it will go through and
IL is understood that Gov. McCray
is putting forth little effort in It's
behalf at this time. He proposes
however. to face the next legislature
with a real plan for Capitalization
OF power, he has indicated in con-
versauonS with visitors.

Two of the appropriation bills, the

The appropriations asked OF the
legislature Will exceed $40, ooO,O 200
and these together with the sums TO
be raised by special taxation will
raise the total TO the s20,0OO,0OO
mark. In fact during a debate in
the senate today Sen. McCullogh re
ferred to the present assembly as n
S2O.OOO,OOO legislature" There is
no doubt but that it will go down
