HUDSON LIMITS INDIANS TO 1 HIT Dick Hudson raked up his second one-hit baseball victory Friday afternoon when the Greenfield team defeated the Anderson Indians, 5 to 1, on the Riley park diamond. The game was the Tiger's second win out of three starts. Morton Memorial handed Greenfield a 2 to 1 set back earlier in the week. In the Anderson tilt, Howard, Indian center fielder, made the only hit off Hudson. He drove out a single in the sixth frame.

The Anderson sin-cle run came in the fourth after two men had walked, two errors and after a batsman was hit.

C.

Hadden. chairman of the State Highway Commission and the Study Commission. This survey has been partially completed and reveals a lack of uniformity in truck taxation with as many different methods in operation as there are states. It has been generally agreed by members of the Study Commission that vehicles used for commercial transport purposes should pay an adequate fee for the privilege of using the highways. It is anticipated that such a recommendation, based upon the study of legislation in effect in other states and upon Indiana experience, will be included in the report of the Study Commission to Governor Sch-ficker and the 1943 session of the General Assembly.

It has been learned in this survey, Mr. Hadden, pointed out, that several of the other states regarded the Indiana tire weight tax on trucks, which was enacted by the General Assembly in 1937 and repealed by the 1941 session, as a model law. Some of those states were planning to revise their present truck tax laws by copying the Indiana law in principle, but they may not do so now that Indiana has abolished this scheme of taxation.
