Only Opposition to
Ballot Plan.
BANK BILL ADVANCED
S106, 720 Is Added to State
Budget; Heated Debate
on Bus Measure.

The voters permanent registra-
ton law, a Democratic platform
pledge, was passed Thursday night
in the house Of representatives by
vote of 70 to IL.
Endorsed by the Indiana League
of Women Voters, the registration
law met practically all its opposition
from Representative H. H. Evans
rep, Newcastle), who charged it is
a needless expense.
we don't need it in Henry
county," he asserted.
Don't you believe in the sanctity
of the ballot?" queried Representa-
tive j. CHM Ellyson Dem, Ham
mond). Yes, retorted Evans, but
we have that in Henry county. 1
know you don't have it in Lake
county. If I had my way, all Lake
county would be under martial law"
Bank Code Bill Advanced
After an initial registration, no
one would be required to re-register
unless he was disfranchised for not
voting for two years.
The administration new banking
code bill passed second reading in
the house with number of amend
ments, chief among which gives the
proposed bank commission author
ity to remove any director or Off
Ger Of financial institution who
continues to violate banking laws.
A secret trial is provided in such
cases..
A total of $1O6,720 was added to
the state biennial appropriation bill
when it came from the hands of
the ways and means committee,
which considered it only twenty
four hours. The usual procedure is
| for that committee to consider it
for weeks and make numerous re-
visions before sending it on to the
| house.
$3,9OO,O0O Under 1881
The bill will be printed at once
and probably passed on to the sem
ate under suspension of the rules

appropriation approximately 3d.
100000 less than two years ago.
Spirited debate preceded passage
of the contract carriers regulatory
bill by vote of 81 to 35. Similar
to the bill which provoked such
bitter fight in the 1882 special SEES
sion, the measure puts all contract
trucks and buses under public serv-
ice commission supervision and al
lows that body to set rates, but eX-
empts vehicles used for farm pro-
ducts transportation, school buses
and newspaper distribution trucks.
Called Vicious Measure
Representative John N. Dyer
Dem, Vincennes), charged Judi
ciary B committee refused to allow
the bill to be considered by the
roads committee and had acted on
order of their masters"
The bill is a vicious one backed
by the railroads and will put 1O0,-
600 out of work" Dyer charged.
Representative William j. Black
Dem, Anderson, Judiciary B
chairman denied he had any mas
ter" and that the railroads are back
of the bill.
I'VE had this bill before the COM
mittee for more than a week and
no one seemed interested in it,"
said Black.

A mysterious voice on the teIe-
phone sent agent J-15 scurrying
to the spots pictured here, the
restaurant at 40 Murray street,
the Holland tunnel entrance, Bank
street and the Pennsylvania South
station in Newark.
The marshalS pursued. One mile,
two miles-they were gaining. They
suspected Oliver was on his way to
the hide-out of notorious New
Jersey gangster, who was his friend.
The intricacies of politics were
such that the marshals felt it
necessary to get Oliver before he
reached that sanctuary.
They forced their car to the ut
most, and on the Post road they
drew abreast. Oliver was too busy
driving to use the shotgun, and they
passed him.
The marshals halted their car.
Deputy Jannatz leaped out and
stood in the middle of the road,
holding up his hand.
There was no doubt that Oliver
saw Jannatz standing there. But
instead of stopping, he grimly
stepped on the gas-and knocked
JanntaX down and ran over him.
Without slowing, he drove on furi-
ously. Before the other marshals
recovered sufficient presence of
mind to shoot, he had escaped.

 By Fixing Of Prices
Minimum Cost for Petroleum Products Contrary to

the position of the independents, thousands of whom are now self ing the same grade of gas and oil at lower figure than that charg- ed by the big oil companies in the same territory, since the former would lose their main appeal to the public if they could not pass on their savings in lower and more economical overhead.
 That the guaranteeing of a profit through the expedient of minimum prices might well work to remove the incentive of the oil industry to set it's own chaotic structure in order.
 '"The American Automobile asso- ciation," said MT Henry, has reached the conclusion that no emergency exists which would jus tify governmental edict that would compel owners and opera tors of 24,000,000 motor vehicles to pay a guaranteed price for gas- oline and oil. Such action by the federal government would run con- trary to public interest, would pro- yoke widespread resentment and react unfavorably on the entire recovery program of the adminis- tration."

Berkeley Square" heralded as one of the years outstanding pho- toplays, opened at Polls to-day and thereby hangs a tale of superb film entertainment, some of the best acting ever seen, and direction that has rarely been surpassed.
 Leslie Howard has the stellar role, the theme of the film. as it takes a young man of to-day back 150 years into the life of his ances- tors, has already aroused. more comment than did the John L. Balderston play from which it was taken. It is theme of so unusual nature that it's skillful handling makes 1t distinct cinematic pleas ure.
 Leslie Howard gives the best performance of his brilliant career. When you sec him as the youth who goes through time practically at will, you realize that he is the only one on a long roster of cap- able actors who could do the job.
 Heather Angel has the leading feminine role opposite him and her presence bespeaks q perfect selec- ton.

Washington, D. C., Dec. 13 - With the policy of fixing minimum prices for petroleum products hanging in the balance, the Ameri- can Automobile association, as spok esman for the consumers, filed a. strong protest with Secretary of the Interior Ickes today urging that the federal government abandon this dangerous and costly experi- ment.'
 The A. A. A. protest took the form of letter from it's president, Thos. F. Henry Of Detroit, Mich., who acted as consumer adviser on the oil code. The national motoring body advanced the following reas- ons fits 0 tart SD
 ons for it's attitude on minimum price fixing:
 That the minimum prices estab- lished would impose on the con- sumers heavier costs than are nec- essary from the standpoint of profitable operations for the oil in- dustry. including the absorption of expenses under the labor and wage requirements of the code.
 That prices for petroleum com modities have gradually increas- ed over the past six months and have shown the possibility of stab ilization without the invoking of price- fixing.
 That the full effects of these con- trol measures over production. re- fnery runs. imports and storage withdrawals are not yet fully effec- tive and that they had been retard- ed by the pickering within the oil industry itself.
 That If the government assumes the responsibility of imposing a profit" price on the consumers, it must assume the responsibility of controlling the things that control price, including financial struc- lures. competitive conditions, wasteful practices and multiplicity of outlets.
 That the fixing of minimum prices. without reference to maxi nuns. would leave the consumer at the mercy of the retailers when ever competitive conditions would permit them to charge all the traf- fic would bear.
 That # would greatly weaken
