Control of the money problem by
private interests instead of the
government today had been termed
as conducive to imitation by Miss
Gertrude Coogan, Chicago, ILL.,, fol-
lowing an address yesterday after
the closing session of the annual So
cial and educational conference of
the Indiana Farm Bureau, Inc, in
the Claypool
She declared that imitation will
result unless Americans seek a more
comprehensive understanding of
the present monetary system.

exchange has been taken from the
government by group of private
citizens and when that power is
controlled by a small group, it's
members are the government" she
asserted.

with the necessity of social security
legislation enactment.
The battle on old-age pensions Is
expected to be precipitated by de-
mandS of large groups in both
houses that the state start paying
benefits to persons IS next year.
recommendations of the joint
legislative committee which has
prepared model enabling bills on
old-age pensions, unemployment
compensation, public health and adj
ministrative control of these activ-
tiles fix July l, 1898, as the date
when old-age pension payment to
persons SIS and older are to start.
The committee action was in COM
pliance with the Governors de-
mands. He believes that additional
revenue must be raised if old-age
pension payments on the 65-year
basis start in 1887 as sought by
many legislators.
Gross Tax May Be Revised
An administrations powered bill
for gross income tax revision will
be the Governors answer to such
an attempt, he has announced.
Although the special session has
been called for the sole ostenSible
purpose of enacting social security
enabling bills, many legislators are
expected to introduce number of
other measures dealing with such
subjects as liquor law revision and
adherence to the 81 and $3.50 tax
limitation law.
The possible gross income tax law
revisions would not raise the rates
of individual taxpayers, it is en-
phasized. However, they could pro-
duce an estimated additional ST.
100000 by bringing under the law
number of businesses which now es-
cape payment and by boosting the
rate of a number of wholesaling cor
porations which now pay one-fourth
of l per cent on transactions re-
garded as properly taxable at l per
cent.
Coalition Is in Prospect
A coalition between the Repub-
lican majority and dissatisfied
Democrats was in prospect today.
Republican spokesman have said
they will insist the state bear the
entire local cost of social security, if
the Governor attempts to put
through the gross income tax re-
visions.
Under the proposed setup, the
Federal government pays SO per
cent of the cost, the state, 80 per
cent, and the counties 20 per cent.
The minority also is inclined to
object to features of the unemploy-
ment compensation bill. They say
the Federal act is likely to be de-
clared unconstitutional and there
is little information on which to
act to produce workable plan.
Parties Call Caucuses
Caucuses of both parties have
been called for Wednesday night
in order that the IL Senators and
Representatives who have served
on the joint committee may ex-
plain the social security bills to
other Assembly members.
The Assembly is expected to
start to work as soon as it con-
venes. Committees appointed for
the regular 1885 session are to serve
for the special session, thus obviat-
ing the several days delay usually
for organization.
Gov. McNutt and his advisors are
preparing for three-week session
and hopeful two weeks will be
enough" Under the Indiana con-
stitution, the session may run q
maximum of 10 days.
