Indiana Antilobby Bill Expected to Pass House
The Indiana legislature reconvened with a Davis antilobby bill likely to pass the House as Governor Ralston backs it. It mirrors the Senate Van Auken bill, requires lobbyists to register, post a $1000 bond, file expense accounts, and faces severe penalties. A companion bill to elect county superintendents by direct vote faces opposition but is expected to pass. The legislative visitation committee recommends strict economy, possibly far below two years ago’s appropriations, with new buildings for the Newcastle epileptic village among few improvements. A cigarette bill is being prepared to ban manufacture and sale within the state with limited import for personal use, backed by women’s groups. Blind women exhibited hand work in the statehouse to show self-supporting avenues and urge legislation for broader training and support programs.
