Tuesday, October 31, 1972 Suit Against Patronage INDIANAPOLIS (UPI) A suit against Governor Whitcomb and the State Bureau of Motor Vehicles, filed Monday in Hancock Circuit Court, seeks to remove license branches from political patronage and put them on a merit system, The complaint was filed by State Sens.

The suit maintains a 1972 repealer of a 1971 law to establish the license branches on a merit basis was unconstitutional I on the grounds Whitcomb received it within two days before final adjournment of the session. The 1971 Legislature had increased fees to motorists as part of a proposal to remove license branches from patronage and place them on a merit system with improved service.

The effective date was Sept. 1, 1972, but before that time, the 1972 Legislature repealed the section to take the branches out of politics--but left the Section increasing fees.

They pointed out that they represent the two major parties and neither of them is up for election this year. "Worst System" McDaniel said Hancock County also was picked as the place to file the constitutionality challenge because Hancock Circuit Court Judge George P. Davis "has an outstanding record on the bench, has broad experience as a jurist and is not opposed for re-election this year." "We are confident Indiana has the worst license system of any state," McDaniel said. "It is archaic and should have been tossed out years ago." McDaniel said he has taken Joseph R.

Root, Commissioner of the bureau of motor vehicles, for a report on the amount of increased fees license branches received under the 1971 law but has not been given the information. However, he said that he and Benjamin were able to verify these added fees amounted to at least $552,000 and that this figure was used in the complaint, although he believes the total actually Is much higher.

"The important thing now will be following up on this issue in future said the Republican Congressman.

"This problem took a number of years to develop and it will take a number of years to solve. I just hope enough members of Congress will remember this in the future." Hillis said he has been contacted by numerous local officials in the Fifth District telling him how much the President's revenue sharing plan will help their financially strapped communities.
