generally, but not specifically,
with Indiana's plans for old
age pensions and unemploy-
ment insurance.
The Governor will point out to
the legislators that it would be
futile to attempt to pass any new
tax legislation in the comparative
ly short time remaining in the pres
ent session, especially in view of the
fact that definite knowledge of how
much additional revenue will be
needed is not available.
Republican charges that it may be
necessary for the next regular AS
sembly to bring in deficiency bud
get probably will be answered by
Gov. McNutt, it is reported, with
the assurance that the $50,000,000
budget is balanced and that the all
legged deficit is political myth.
McNutt Keeps Silence
1t is not known whether the Gov
ernor will disclose in his message
any of the administration plans for
raising new revenue at the special
session. Thus far, he has remained
silent on what form the new taxes
will take.
There has been much specula-
ton as to the probable enactment
of a 2 per cent sales tax with a
compromising cut in the gross in
come tax on retail sales from l to
one-fourth of l per cent.
Some administration advisers
favor such a sales tax, but others
regard it as politically ineXpedient
and offering political ammunition
for the Republicans in the next
campaign.
Sales Tax Last Resort
The suggestion has been advanced
that a one-half of l per cent in
crease in all grades of the gross in
come tax may be the way out of the
difficulty. Still another suggestion
is that the $1,000 personal tax ex-
emption be reduced.
Gov. McNutt's only public state
mentS on the sales tax have been in
opposition and he has said since the
session started that he thought it
should be only last resort.
The gross income tax, he believes,
is the most equitable because it is
paid only on what actually is earned.
Too, the gross income tax is re-
garded as easier Of administration
because of the necessity of using a.
coupon system in consumer payment
of the sales tax.
Bill Curb Proposed
While the special session can not
be limited solely to tax legislation,
it will be called for that purpose
and the Democratic majorities in
both houses are counted on to pre-
vent the dragging if of pet" bills
which may me dear to the hearts of
their sponsors, but extraneous in the
light of the tax emergency.
Meanwhile Rep. J. Ralph Thomp-
son Cd, SEYMOUR offered in the
lower house a bill which, if adopted,
would restrict the number of meas
ures that might be introduced at
future sessions.
No member of either house would
be permitted to offer more than five
bills during a regular session. The
limit would be three at special ses-
sionS.
Exemptions from the rule would
include bills to carry out party
platform pledges or measures rec
commended in the Governors mes
sage.

AWAIT ACTION
IN SENATE ON
POLLUTION BILL
Amendments to Measure
Are Drafted by Enemies,
Is Charge.

Engaged in clearing its calendar
of bills ready for final vote, the In
diana Senate today had not received
proposed amendments to the anti
stream pollution bill.
Such amendments, said by advo-
Gates Of the measure to be designed
to defeat the purposes of the bill
were expected to be offered during
the day.
Meanwhile, the State-NRA bill
was ready to be advanced to the or
der of second reading in the Senate
Strong opposition to the measure in
its present form is anticipated, and
if the bill is handed down the fight
is expected to occupy most of the
afternoon.
Budget Bill Approved
After forcing the Senate to with
draw appropriations added to the
budget to provide relief to in
divi6uals, the House today approved
t h $5O,OOO,O0O appropriations
measur and sent it to the Governor.
When the measure was returned
from the Senate, Rep. Frank G..
Thompson Cd, Bluffton), majority
leader, objected to the additions
made by the Senate. One Of these
would have provided $1,000 to pay a
claim of Mrs. Mary j. Crowder,
whose son, Freeman, was killed in
August, 1888, by a state highway
truck at Perrysville.
Rep. Thompson said the addition
of the items made the entire act il
legal.
Measures to restore revenue pro-
ducing properties of churches, fra
ternal societies and similar organiza-
tons to tax duplicates today were
introduced in the Senate by Senator
Thomas R. Hendricks 3D., Indian
apoliS).
Backed by McNutt
Four conSumer-creditb bills, meas
ures to stimulate buying in Indiana
and loosen credit, were passed by the
House and sent to the Senate.
The measures, backed by Gov.
Paul v. McNutt, received House ap-
proval with oratorical criticism of
the bills coming from the Repub-
lican minority.
The measure placing industrial
loan and investment companies I'M
der the department of financial in
situations drew the most fire when
Rep. James A. Moody Or, Fremont
declared the bill gave the state the
right to legalize annual 18 per cent
interest rates.

IA HELD INVALID
BY FEDERAL JUDGE
NeW-DeaIers Lose Verdict
in Weirton Case.
Tnited Press

By UNtten Press
WILMINGTON, Del, Feb. 81
The New Deal today lost the first
major test of its labor policies when
Federal Judge John P. Nields dis
missed charges against the Weirton
Steel Co., in a case which had
aligned much of industry against
the Administration.
Judge Nields held that Wierton
relations with its employees did not
affect interstate commerce and were
beyond the power of the Federal
government to regulate.
Section IA of the Recovery Act,
collective bargaining provision, is
unconstitutional and void" as ap-
piled to the Wierton concern, he
ruled.
General application of this prin-
ciple apparently would prevent the
New Deal from interfering with
employee employer relationships of
vast majority of American bust
ness.
Atty. Gen. Homer Cummings and
his aids in Washington prepared
Immediately for an appeal.
