THE Indiana Legislature passed an act
placing the fire and police department Of
Indiana under the control Of commission
ers appointed by the Legislature. The
Supreme Court has just declared that
law unconstitutional. This decision is
very important, because it shows what
measure Of power a law making body
enjoys, and defines the limitations to
which it is subject in the case Of at
tempts to usurp executive functions. It
would be well for the Citizens Committee
to be careful in attempting to deprive
the City Council Of its legitimate func-
tions OF course we are all in favor Of
honesty and economy, but there are diff
ferent ways Of promoting honesty and
economy. If an officer does not do his
duty he should be impeached, sus.
pended, and turned out Of Office
Stripping the office Of its proper func-
tions does not cure the evil Giving the
same power to an Irresponsible commits.
sion is only temporary remedy no mat
ter how admirable the personnel of the
commission may be- The proper manner
to correct abuses in office is to elect good
men and hold them strictly to the line of
duty.

The Eeity of Joliet, in Illinois. is the

each, amounted TO SO, 175 Under theHiph
License law the fee was raised to 81 900
Ihis closed more than one half the sa-
saloons, leaving only ffty-fve. The
largely inereases tax they pay supports
the police, the fremen. ali the citv an.
GERS and the cost Of lighting and cleaning
the streets. Having now a population ~
about 30, OOO the people of the town are
considering the advisability Of Using tbe
fee to the enormous figure of Sb OO0
This would. they believe, cut down tha
number Of saloons to fifteen, while at the
same time increasing the total revenue
Isn't it better that the saloons should he
heavily taxed for the support Of govern.
ment than that they should go scot free
as they do in so many communities under

The electric light companies wish such

he was among the conspicuous advocates
Of relief from the protective tariff laws
which crippled English commerce. He

which are made by the benefeiaries Of

lived to see the tight little island become
the commercial queen Of the world under
the laws that he advocated. He advo-
