The Indiana legislature closed it's ses-

lOus manner, and all over a matter Of
spolls. A bill had passed to supplant a
democratic official with a republican.
The governor held the bill for three days
and then put IN his veto just 10 minutes
before the legislature was to adjourn sine
die. The republicans learned this anc
locked the doors so that the private sec
rotary with the message could not deliver
it to the speaker before adjournment
The door was broken in and then there
was free fight, republicans barring
the way to the speakers chair and the
democrats pushing on the messenger.
Chairs were torn up, members were
trampled upon and revolvers were drawn.
The clothes were torn off the messenger,
but he reached the speakers chair. Just
as he got there the speaker declared the
house adjourned.

THE action of the legislature IN pTac
tlcally exempting vessel property from
taxation is something deserving the
severest censure and is unjust to all other
taxpayers. Vessel owners have had no
reason to complain of the assessment of
their property and have had means Of
avoiding the payment of equitable taxes
not accorded to other property holders.
There is no reason why the law should
discriminate in their favor and throw
the burden of public expenses on others.
The more property exempted from taxa
ton the more heavily will taxes press
upon those who do pay.
The law will not stand the test OF the
constitution and it should at once be
taken to the Supreme Court to determine
whether it is valid or not. This is an
other case in which the work OF lobby.

lature forget their sworn duty.

they claim that there are silver men in

be one Of fanatics. 1t would not be
amiss for these men to reflect that his.

recognize nothing which did not concede
