state) it was being looked upon as
sinister"
A movement of the sort was
launched in the 1929 legislature.
A bill. introduced by State Sem
stor John L. Niblack, indianapolis,
would have shifted the state police
rule from the secretary Of state to
the Governor. 1t also would have
increased their number and powers.
Since Secretary of State Otto G.
Fifield is from Michigan City, the
Lake county delegation saw to it
that the police were kept under his
charge. Even then it was stated
that the Lake county group might
consider the matter of a shift in
1881. They pointed out that In
Lake county all the perogatives OF
an Office must remain intact as they
were during the campaign, for
otherwise the office-seeker, wouldn't
get all he ran for.
To shift the police to the Gov
ernor, would also mean moving the
bureau of criminal investigation
and examination. It practically IS
agreed that the two should function
as unit.
Under the present system, the
bureau gives the secretary OF state

an opportunity to cultivate patron
age, as well as to aid in tracking
down criminals. 1t provides for en-
ployment of an attorney. Fifleld
has given this job to Lloyd D. Clay
combe, member of the Marion coun-
ty delegation in the house Of rep
resentativeS and the Coffin political
group.
Such appointments are thought to
aid in reelection or in running for
the Governorship while secretary OF
state.
Fifield was not appointed to the
crime commission growing out of
the Governors conference last Fri
day and Saturday. But he incor-
porated his program into speech
he delivered Saturday morning. This
included finger printing all. appli-
cants for automobile drivers license.
General comment was that such a
move would be poison" to the popu-
larity of any politician.
Hoosiers, it was pointed out, are
resentful of being harassed by their
government.
1t was said that Governor struck
Fifields name from the original
commission list. So the secretary
of state will have little to say re-
