Barker's Utilities Bill Falls in Senate Defeat
Indianapolis January 30. A second measure to empower the Public Service Commission in regulating utilities failed in the senate. Senator Barker of Thorntown saw his proposal require rate cases to be argued in state courts before federal appeals, but it lacked decisive votes amid constitutional objections raised by Senator Branaman of Brownstown. The debate echoed earlier fights over utility holding companies. The chiropractic bill faced committee recommitment amid strong opposition to amendments. In the senate the Holmes eugenics bill to sterilize social defectives moved to engrossment after surviving two kill attempts, with amendments on jury hearings and liability for operations.
