Sayre Dominates Indiana Legislature In Clean Session
Indiana March 4 Warren G Sayre of Wabash is praised for strong influence in a corruption-free legislative session. Sayre opposed tax hikes while keeping votes free from trades, earning both praise and enmity. Governor Durbin backs a state controlled engrossing system to speed bills and reduce manipulation. Final action on general appropriations looms as funding supports heating and maintenance across institutions.

Republicans push school tax reform amid legislative clash
In the Senate under Senator Fortune and Senator O'Brien and in the House under Slack and Adair the Republicans push on with reforms. They oppose raising the school levy to 16 cents and back a cut to 8 cents for the state tax, while supporting a higher local levy option to 50 cents. The session sees other bills die in committees as debates over education, oleomargarine, high school inspector pay, and freight-rate commissions unfold. The general appropriations bill heads to enactment. bills on grand juries, railroad consolidation, and quail-killing penalties face uncertain futures.
