Ignores GiIIiom'S Opinion on
Its lIlegaIity..

Governor Ed jackson, who ac-
cepted Attorney General Arthur l..
Gillioms opinion that impeachment
OF Circuit Judge Clarence w. Dearth
of Muncie was unconstitutional, to-
day overrode the opinion Of Gilliom
that a public utility measure was
Unconstitutional.
Despite Gilliom's opinion that the
Nejdl bill allowing appeals to Circuit
or Superior Courts in counties
affected by public service commits
sion orders is unconstitutional the
Governor today signed the bill.
After announcing he would sign
no more bills, the Governor left
Friday for Des Moines, Iowa, where
he will deliver an address.
This action cleaned up the bills
left in his hands by the Legislature.
He let thirty-three bills die by
failure to approve or veto. He
signed and vetoed a number of
others.
Buser Loses Boost
Among those bills which Jackson
let die by pocket veto was that pro-
viding the $1,0OO-a-year salary in
crease for William c. Buser, city
controller and brother-in-law of
Mayor John l.. Duvall.
He also pocket vetoed the bill pro-
viding boards to examine and regu-
late BARRIERS and beauty parlors and
the bill granting $1,000 a year in
creases to county commissioners Of
Marion and Lake Counties.

The flood waters found the farm

In describing the scope of destrnc-

Chamber Of Commerce states in its
telegram 70 the capital city hat ~,
900 hectares iabOut 10000 acresl

Mexico AbOIisheS
Passport Rulings

The lid is oft
Identification requirements of the
Mexican government both for tour
lists and for persons living in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley in effect
for over a year. have been suspend
ed. according 70 word received both
BY the Matamoros Chamber Of Com
merce and Agriculture and the Mex
lean immigration service in Mata-
moros.
This means that tourists will not
be required 70 have temporary iden-
tification cards to cross the border
and il also means, according to Luis
Rendon, secretary of the Matamoros
chamber. that local or Valley per-
manent identification cards will no
longer be necessary.
The telegram advising the Mata-
moros authorities of the new ruling
stated that the immigration au-
thorities had only to watch out for
undesirables.
Officials Of both the Brownsville
anu MaJamorus Chambers Of C1ir-
merce expressed their qualification
AT the suspension Of the identified
tion cards, commonly called pass
ports although they permitted entry
only into Mexican border towns.
They said that il would enable tour
lists and others to cross into Mexico
more easily and eliminate red tape.
A little over year ago the Mex
lean authorities in MatamorUs were
notified that all persons crossing
the border had to have some sort OF
Identification. Tourists had 10 have
temporary cards showing that they
lived more than 80 miles from an !
point on the border. For many
months these temporary cards were
issued BY the local Chamber of Com
merce TO tourists who identified
themselves as such. Persons living
within 90 miles OF the border IN the
Valley. were required 10 have perma-
nent cards with photograph at

ed several months aTo so that tour
lists had only to show a letter oT
other identifying matter az the
