Branch; Insurance
Measure Next.

Indiana forged the first link
connecting the state with
Federal social security laws
today when the House of Rep
resentatives passed the public
welfare bill by a vote Of 80
to Is.
The opposition was confined to
Republicans. Action came swiftly
after administration leaders had
succeeded in checking revolt
which yesterday indicated that the
coalition of "home rule" Democrats
and minority were getting out of
hand.
Twenty-one of the minority, cx-
planning their votes by declaring
the bill was the best we can get"
cast their ballots with SO Demo-
Gratis to pass the measure which
provides aid for the blind, dependent
and crippled children and old-age
pension not to exceed $50 a month.

"Hasty" Action Scored

hitherto running smoothly, collapsed
momentarily today when even some
of the majority objected to what
they believed useless and too hasty
consideration of the welfare BILL
which already had been passed by
the House.

bill after the Senate had resolved

that there we're no copies available
for the members to study in pre-
pairing amendments.
Await Printed Copies
The session was halted and the
Senators gathered in knots on the
floor, some insisting on recessing
until the bill is ready, and others
voicing willingness to go ahead
with consideration of the bill lack
ing the amendments made by the
House.
1t finally was agreed this would
be done, but that no amendments
would be offered until printed
copies of the BILL as amended last
night and yesterday by the House,
are laid on each Senator's desk.
Earlier in a formal session before
resolving into committee of the
whole, the Senate voted to appro-
pirate $4,000 for the State Elec-
ton Board to defray coming cleo
ton expense. The majority and
minority joined in this action and
the appropriation bill to defray costs
of the special session was advanced
to passage.
Senator Floyd CARROT, Battle
Ground, minority floor leader, ex-
planned the amendment. The ex-
pense partly will be necessary, he
said, because the General Assembly
in the 1885 session separated the
presidential and state ballots.
IF you (the majority had it to
do over again, I don't believe you'd

added that the minority is very
happy about this because "it will be
easier TO defeat the Democratic
nominee for Governor" He meant.
