Without q dissenting vote the
house of representatives today
passed on to engrossment the Al
lardt bill legalizing pari-mutuel
betting in Indiana, after several
amendments had been inserted to

provided that the secretary of the

to be in charge Of the adrninistra-
ton of the bill. Licenses to oper-
ate were to cost $500 each and a
gate tax of 20 per cent was to be

all funds are to be paid into the

DEMOCRATS TAX
BIT now DONE,
PETERS STATES
Republicans to Blame If
Measures Die, Chair
man Asserts.

The Democratic party has "done
its bit" toward tax revision and if
the legislature fails to enact the
personal and corporate income tax
bills, Republicans are chargeable
with the blame, r. Earl Peters
Democratic state chairman, asserted
in a statement today.
Peters statement follows:
Much has been said and written vv,tr
respect to the status Of tax leeislation
pending before the general assembly WITH
the resulting possibility that the public
may be confused with relation thereto.
The Democratic house Of representa-
tives has enacted and transmitted to the
Republican senate two income tax bills
one is designed to levy tax upon in
comes Of individuals. and the other upon
the incomes Of corporations. Both bills
contain specific provisions that funds de-
rived from the collection of income taxes
be applied exclusively for the reduction
Of valorem taxes. Under these provisions
the income tax will not be an additional
tax. but will take the place Of some other
form Of taxation.
''The income tax bills pending in tbs
senate contain practically the same pro.
visions recommended by the tax survey
commission appointed by Governor Leslie
OF which Senator Hoffman, a Republican
served as chairman. The only noteworthy
exceptions are % the amount of tn.
exemptions and ~ the amendment re.
curing nonresident individuals and cor.
poration to pay tax on incomes earned
in this state.
1.-THE hills lcceeH ~ 49,.
sentatives provide exemptions identiea
with those Of the federal income tax law
The Republican majority in the senate
has adopted an amendment reducing til,
exemptions to a point that will subiect
approximately 10000 more people to tn,
payment OF the tax. The bills as received
by the senate are based upon the Demo
cratic theory that tax burdens should b,
distributed in according with the abilit,
to pay.
1.-THE indisputabls fact that only indi
viduals and corporations that are pros
peri1g shall be required to pay an incom.
tax has survived the many attacks tina
are being made upon these measures.
THE Democratic majority in the houg
has redeemed the party's pledge to tn,

a view to transferring from property tt

lowing her execution today gave
newspaper men the text of two let
tiers written jointly by Glenn Dague

He also announced he would sell
Dague's autobiography to the high

Dague wrote both of the letters.
but Mrs. Schroeder signed them
with him. The first one, to Tea

WOMEN VOTERS
WAGE FIGHT TO
keep PRIMARY
League Against Bill to Set
Up Nominations by
Convention.

Indiana League Of Women Voters
today threw its weight against pas
sage Of the senate bill providing for
the nomination Of all candidates for
public Office in city. county, con-
gressicnal district and state con-
ventions.
introduced by a group Of Repub-
lican senators, the measure last
week failed Of passage in the senate,
"a to 20, and may be called down
again. Under it's provisions each
party would elect precinct commit
teemen and delegates to the city and
county conventions every two years.
Delegates to the state conventions
would be elected at county conven-
lions.
The leagues steering committee,
In session today, decided to oppose
the measure which, they declare,
virtually would disfranchise the
majority of voters in Indiana"
In support Of their position, the
committee made the following state
ment:
AS Senate Bill 1876 now stands with
amendments it abolishes the direct pri-
mary without saving any Of the public
expense of making nominations. 1t SUBJ
stitutes for the direct primary conabina-
ton Of the delegate primary. the caucus
and the convention system.
indiana League Of Women Voters Is
onposed to this measure because:
4. It saves the state no money. dele
gate primary is as expensive as direct
primary.
~. It would further discourage voting
since it is well-known fact that the
more important the office the more
public interest is shown, and dele-
gate to a county convention never will
seem IMPORTANT to the majority Of vot-
ers. IN the delegate primary before the
direct primary was adopted this was the
case in Indiana.
3. The, elaborate structure Of conven-
lions proposed in this bill so far removes
the choice Of nominees from the control
of the people that their wishes would
tend to be totally disregarded, even If
known
4. Although the measure provides
few safeguards for the convention such
as the filing of the names of candidates
ten days before the convention meets,
it is to all intents and purposes re-
turn to the old convention system dis
carded because it was hagrantly COR
rupt and unrepresentative Of American
ideals of government.
S. The League of Women Voters be-
lieves in progressive legislation to make
nominations more representative. We
agree with the opponents Of the direct
primary system that 1t has its defects,
but we are opposed TO the complete
adjustment Of the direct primary and
return to system Of nominations
which was given a much longer trial
than the primary, and proved unsatis-
factory.

FEW BILLS IN
ASSEMBLY TO-
BECOME LAWS
Introduction of 9o9 Meas
ureS Causes Most Con-
qested Calendar.

Skeptics who contend "the fewer
the new laws, the better for the
state" saw increasing probability
that the acts OF 1881 will be vest
pocket volume as the seventy
seventh general assembly recon-
vened today.
Twenty-Five measures, none Of
outstanding importance, had been
signed by Governor Harry G. Les
lie when the two houses resumed
their deliberations today.
They have until midnight two
weeks from tonight to dispose Of
the heaviest mass Of proposals ever
submitted to an Indiana legislature.
Worst Tangle Certain
OF the 9O9 measures that have
been presented, less than half have
received any formal consideration.
Consequently, the worst "bill Jam"
in the states history lies ahead.
Frequent night sessions will help.
but not elinir ate it.
That many measure Will meet
its fate in the Governors pocket
veto seems certain with the deIuge
that probably will descend upon
the executive in the closing DAYS Of
the session.
On all bills, passed by both
houses and transmitted to the Gov
eraor, during the first flfty-nine
Gays Of the session, he must act.
Under a recent supreme court
ruling the bills sent to the Gov
ernor's desk during the last two
days OF the sixty-one day session
require no action unless the Gov
ernor SO chooses. And he has i've
days after adjournment of the leg
islature in which to act or decline
to act on these late measures.
March ID to Be Deadline
This gives the Governor until
Saturday midnight, March Il. to act
or decide to act on these measures.
These will become laws if within
that period the Governor signs
them, or files them with the secre-
tary OF state without afixing his
signature.
They may be vetoed in two ways
either by formal disapproval with
the reasons for his disapproval, or
by the pocket veto" which is moth
ing more than refusal to consider.
under the authority given him to
decline to receive bills during the
last three days of the session.
