WAR MEMORIAL
i FOR STATE FAR
AWAY AS EVER
Refusal of House to Act on
Two Bills Leaves Senate
Measure Unfinished.
A PEALS MADE IN VAIN
The-failure of the house of representa
tives to carry out the "gentlemen's agree
ment” to pass county and city memorial
bills enabling Indianapolis and Marion
county to definitely assume their part
of the responsibilities in the erection of
the Indiana world war memorial in In
dianapolis, today results in the probable
failure of the erection of a war memorial
as desired by the American legion and
other organizations.
The senate, acting through committtees,
attempted to ascertain, shortly before tu.
final adjournment of the special session
of the legislature, if the house would
suspend constitutional rules and advance
the bills for passage.
The senate committee was informed
that the house had failed to suspend
rules to advance the bills to third read
ing.
The senators then informed Lieut. Gov.
Bush that it would be impossible to pa3s
the county and city memorial bills at
the special session of the legislature.
The senate, blocked by the antagonistic
action of the lower house, then was forced
to abandon its announced plan of pass
ing the two bills prior to adjournment-
Senators stated that the work of the
special session would not and could not
be satisfactorily completed unless these
two measures should pass.
As the situation stands today there arc
no acts under which Marlon county and
the city of Indianapolis can provide for
bond issues to raise approximately
$5,000,000 as their proposed shares of the
*j.pense of the war memorial.
qPhe only legislation enacted by the
special session is a so-called Indiana
world war memorial bill, which provides
for a tax levy sufficient to yield at least
$2,000,000 to be used for building the me
morial, in addition to setting aside of
the present sites cf the Indiana School
for the Blind and St. Clair park as the
location for this memorial.
WHAT SEX ATE BILL
MAKES POSSIBLE.
This bill makes it possible for the
city of Indianapolis, if it should ever
acquire lands adjoining- the memorial
site, to improve them to conform with
general architectural plans adopted by
the board of trustees of the Indiana
world war memorial.
As the world war memorial bill now
stands there is not a single clause which
compels Marion county and the city of
Indianapolis to provide any funds, except
the levy which is required of all counties
and cities alike.
Although the bill as passed requires
the governor to appoint a board of trus
tees within a limited time, there is noth
ing which compels the trustees to begin
the actual erection of the memorial at
a specified time, nor does it make any
provisions for supplying funds for the
removal and re-establishing cf the state
school for the blind.
It is feared that no positive steps will
be taken in the near future for the actual
carrying out of the provisions of the act
as applied to the state.
The unsatisfactory status of the me
morial project was called to the atten
tion of Lieut. Gov. Bush after a com
mittee from the house waited upon the
senate and informed that body that the
house was ready to adjourn sine die If
the senate had no further business to ;
transact.
Tt was then that Senator Eisner ta- :
qulred as to what had become of the j
county and city memorial bills.
Senator English demanded that a com
mittee be appointed to Investigate the j
cause of the failure of the bouse to
bring the bill3 up for consideration.
Lieut. Gov. Bush appointed Senators
McKinley and Decker to confer with j
Speaker Eschbach.
Tt was generally understood in the 1
senate that the county and city memorial ;
measures were to be introduced and !
passed ap compromise bills following the i
passage of the state memorial bill.
“Are Indianapolis and Marlon county
trying to dodge the responsibility of pay
ing taxes to erect this memorial?" queried
one cf the senators, to which Senator
Eisner replied :
“That might have some meaning cow.”
MOTION' FAfLS ON
SECOND ATTEMPT.
Shortly after the conference of the two
senators with Speaker Eschbach a motion
was made by Representative Givan that
the constitutional rules be suspended. In
order that the city bill. No. 54S>, conld
be brought to a passage vote before ad
journment.
Representative Glvnn made a short
speech In defense of the bill, asking the
question, “Will you permit Indianapolis |
to honor the men who fought In the re- j
cent war”?
The roll was taken and the constltu- j
tional rules failed to be suspended at
the second attempt to bring it to a point
where passage could be voted on.
The vote wns 62 ayes to 5 noes.
