CALL RECESS
Citizens Co. Attorney Is
Unable to Appear
Before Board.

= Illness ~ a prospective witness TO-
day caused the legislative inves-
tirating the gas industry in Marion
County 20 recess until 9 wednesday
when r T. Rastenburg. Citizens
Gas Co. secretary. probably will ap-
pear with records Of company stock
holders
The committee vas 20 have ques-
toned Henry HornbrOok. attorney
for the company. today. but Mr..
HorubrO0k was III and could not
appear. 4 member Of his Law firm,
however. told the committee that he
believed Mr.. Rastenburg would
bring In the records If requested 70
90 so.
Decision TO question officers Of
the Citizens was made after the
committee had taken testimony
from many persons connected di-
rectly and indirectly with the In
dianapolis and Indiana gas situa-
ticn.
Bill Is Made Law
The entire investigation was pre-
cipitated when Senator Jacob Weiss
ID. Indianapolis. president pro
TEN. OF the Senate. charged in
floor debate that Clinton H Givan
had told him the Users Gas Co.,
not now operating. had 100000 to
distribute among Marion County at
tOrneys If the Legislature would de-
feat a bill intended 10 make it more
difficult for Users 70 get a fran
chise 70 sell natural gas in the
county.
This charge Mr.. Givan. Users at
tornev. denied 10 the committee
after the Legislature had made the
bill a law Every member Of the in
vestigating committee voted for the
law.
Mr.. Givan's proposal was that
his company. whose hackers never
have been publicly identified by an
officers OF director. lend the city
enough money TO buy the Citizens
plant. Using the Citizens plant as
a mixing and distributing agency,
the city would then buy natural gas
from Users at approximately So
cents each 1000 cubic feet at the city
gates and enter into the utility
business.
Kentucky Official Subpenaed
Mr.. Givan estimated that at that
purchase price the city could re-
tail gas TO hOusehOlderS at between
90 and 65 cents each 1000 cubic feet
The price now charged for artificial
gas BY Citizens is S1O5.
In litigation long before the pres
ent legislature attempted 10 get at
the bottom Of the gas situation
here. stockholders of the Citizens
attempted TO get a Federal Court
to declare that the city no longer
had an option to buy the plant
This the Federal Court refused to
do
The committee today also issued
a subpoena for William j. Hinchey,
vice-president of the Kentucky
Natural Gas Co. a j. H. Hillman
firm. who attended yesterdays ses-
sion OF the investigation unrecOg-
nized. He later was identified, but
when the committee sought to serve
the summons at his hotel, he had
checked out.
Meanwhile, House Judiciary Com
mittee A reported unanimously in
favor of a resolution, already passed
by the Senate. memorializing the
United States Senate to investigate
the entire gas industry. The reSOlu-
ton probably viii be presented to
the House today.

SHERIFF'S FEE

A bill returning the feeding of
prisoners in County Jails to a fee
basis and political manipulation was
passed today by the Senate. IS to
IA. in spite of a warning of dire
consequences. 1t 10Y goes to Gov.
Paul V. McNutt. The House al

Rushed through the House with
out ever being debated, the meas
ure yesterday passed its second
reading in the Senate before the
Joker" was discovered by the In

U~nfsvorable publicity subsequently
appearing in newspapers resulted
today in a precipitate third reading
and passage, so that constituents
now will De unable to throw their
influence against it when legislators
return to their homes over the
weekend.
II has been estimated that in
Marion County alone, on the basis
of last year, feeding prisoners will
under this measure cost between
$4,000 to $4,000 a year more, the
money going logically into the
sherif's pocket.
The measure allows sherifs 40
cents a day for feeding each
prisoner in counties over 200. 900
population and so cents a dav in
counties under 200. 1000 population.

This assurance was given The

by Col. w. T. Chantland, head of

Field work is nearing completion
and hearing dates are to be an
nounced shortly for some time in
March. The whole Indianapolis
affair and the pipeline controversy
which is agitating city officials
throughout the middle west will be
given an airing.
I'VE will find out who owns this

The Times.
Under his direction, all of the
data concerning alleged division of

SUPPORT GAINED
FOR SALES TAX
Gross Retail Income Cut
Looms If Program Is
to Be Adopted.
BY JAMES DOSS
Times staff Writer

The state administrations plan
for meeting its increased Obligations
in the next two years today was re-
ported to include the imposition of
a 2 per cent sales tax after reduc-
ton of the present gross income re-
tail tax levy of l per cent to a of
l per cent.
Enactment of a 2 per cent sales
tax would raise at least $13. 000.0 900
annually, it is estimated, and one
source close to the administration
places at $18, 600, 900 the probable
amount of revenue from a 2 per
cent sales levy.
Even before Introduction of the
appropriations bill yesterday, with
its healthy increases, there has been
considerable speculation about the
administrations tax probram.
No one, from Gov. Paul v. McNutt
down, will admit for publication
that the administration has decided
on a sales tax.
However. there is a feeling among
several administration advisors that
the sales tax is the only solution to
the states problem of obtaining
enough money to finance its share
Of the Federal governments social
security program.
The Governor is reported firmly
opposed to disturbing any of the
levies imposed by the present gross
income tax law, with the possible
exception of the reduction for the
retailers and then only in the event
the sales tax in enacted.

Senate O. K.
Early Action Expected
After Hurried Approval
in House.

Early action is expected in the
Indiana Senate on the state NRA
bill which was quickly passed in
the House of Representatives late
yesterday afternoon by a 81 to 50
vote.
The vote was strictly along party
lines, with the exception of Rep.
Jacob j. Reisinger 3D., EVANSVILLE,
who voted with the Republican
minority.
After counting noses at the noon
recess House Democratic leaders
rushed the measure through. The
roll call came after a. Commute
debate in which Rep. Joseph A
Andrew (R., Lafayette), led the OPP
position and Rep. John Napier
Dyer Cd, Vincennes). author of the
bill, urged its passage.
THE measure will give labor in
the state the same rights that the
national NRA gives them" declared
Rep. Dyer.
"This is one of the most construc-

in this session. Over $4,000 bust
ness men in the state want this bill
passed. 1t will eliminate the racke-
teer, the chiseler and the exploiter
of industrial labor" he said.
Rep. Dyer claimed all of the labor
organizations of the state had
studied the contents of the bill and
are unanimous in urging its passage.
Charges shat monopolistic bust
ness interests are seeking its pas
sage so they could squeeze out the
small man" were made by Rep.
Andrew.
This bill, like the national NRA
has certain ETHEREAL desires, the
greatest of which is that it will be a
boon to labor" he said. IF there
was ever a group completely hood
winked by the national NRA it is
organized labor. This law hasn't
done any good at all. 1t has just
shortened hours and decreased
wages he declared.
