The Tell City Journal, commenting on
the bill which has been introduced in
the Legislature requiring drug clerks to
be graduates of some pharmaceutical
institution or pass an examination be-
fore being allowed to compound prescrip-
lions, suggests that, as physicians have
already been regulated, "a law compell-
ing all lawyers to graduate in some law

1t is, however, a pretty good proof of
the intelligence of the people that they
generally manage to discriminate be-
tween the two classes, and perhaps it is
also an argument against trying to regu-
late the standard of any profession by
legislation.

The statement which the Board Of
Public Works make in rendering their
designations to the Mayor is entitled to
candid consideration. They have done
what they thought to be best for the
city and the taxpayers, and their work
shows that, if they have occasionally
erred in judgment, they have in the
main rendered the city good as well as
faithful service. They have had no fav-
orite contractors, and no man who has
read the testimony can truthfully say
that there is particle of evidence tend
ing to show that, in the most remote
manner, have they been party to any
jobbery. That they have made some
mistakes will not be denied, but whether
they remain or leave office the general
verdict must be that they have clean
hands, which goes for great deal. The
positions which they have held are the
most responsible and the most open to
criticism that could be devised If a
man were looking for a position In
which he could get the most worry and
torment in this world; on the ground
that the more he had in this life the less
he would have in the next, he would be
persistent candidate for a place on the
Board of Public Works.

The laws of Indiana require that any
foreign insurance company. before doing
business in this State, must file with the
State Auditor a statement that it's capt.
tai stock is invested in sound securities
or mortgages, and convince that officer,
by evidence satisfactory to him, that
such statement is correct In the for
nation OF companies IN this State, the
law, If one is passed, should make the
requirements in regard to the invest
ments of companies very explicit, lest
wildcat companies spring up, which
would surely rob the people who are not
prepared to investigate. The people
have a right to expect that the Legisla-
ture will protect them against such swim
dies, and that the law will be so care
fully enforced that the person who buys
insurance in any company sanctioned by
it's officers will get what he purchases.
In regard to the admission of sound
companies with a capital of $780,
coo, there seems to be no valid objection
so long as they comply with the present
requirements, which have secured abso-
luteIy sound fire insurance to the peo-
pie of Indiana. The Journal has seen
the reports of a dozen fire insurance
companies with capital stock Of $780,
600 or $150,000. each of which had a sur
plus available for policy holders ranging
from $110, 900 to $376,000. There seems no
good reason why a 100000 company,
presenting the same evidence Of reli-
ability required of companies with $780,
900 or more capital, should not be ad-
mitted to do business in Indiana.

Permit me to approve in the fullest sense

tions in Tuesdays paper. No greater mis-
take can be made by this Legislature than
to pass radical legislation against build

LIMITING MUNICIPAL INDEBTEDNESS

The city of Terre Haute, like this city,
is experiencing embarrassment from the
constitutional provision limiting munic-
ipal indebtedness to per cent. of the
value of taxable property. Terre Haute
wants to undertake an extensive sewer
improvement, and would like to raise
money for the purpose by issuing bonds.
but is prevented from doing so by the
fact that her Indebtedness is already
near the constitutional limit. In these
circumstances resolution has been in
troduced and is awaiting final action by
the Council asking the Legislature '.to
take preliminary steps to amend the
said section Of the Constitution, en-
abling cities to become indebted an adj
ditional 2 per cent. for the purpose of
constructing and improving sewers, and
for purchasing, owning, constructing.
operating and controlling gas plants.
electric light plants, water works and
building schoolhouses." The Journal is
inclined to the opinion that some action
in this direction is needed. The placing
Of a constitutional restriction on the
right of the people to incur Indebtedness
for the legitimate purposes of govern
ment is at least questionable wisdom.
To a certain extent 1t implies doubt in
the capacity of the people for self-gov-
eminent. 1t is true the restriction was
imposed by the people themselves. but
why should one generation tie the hands
of another in purely discretionary mat
ter of this kind? The vigilance of tax
payers and the unalterable hostility to
the increase of municipal debts. except
in case Of necessity or for strictly legiti-
mate purposes, could doubtless be de-
pended upon to prevent any undue in
crease of such indebtedness.
But, admitting that a general consti-
tutional provision of the kind is bene-
fetal. there would seem to be good rea-
son for qualifying It, Circumstances
may arise in which good fnanciering as
well as good government calls for a
temporary increase of municipal indebt-
edness beyond the constitutional limit.
Such occasions may be exceptional. but
in view of the growing disposition on
the part of cities and towns to acquire
the ownership of certain franchises, they
are almost sure to arise some time in
the history of every growing city. The
Terre Haute proposition only authorizes
an increase of an additional per cent.
of Indebtedness to the existing limit.
and restricts the causes for which it
may be incurred to the construction and
improving of sewers. building school
houses and acquiring the ownership of
gas plants, electric light plants and
water works. These causes are SO few
in number and so strictly in the line OF
municipal progress that their exception
from the general rule limiting indebted
ness could not be considered dangerous.
The subject is at least worthy of careful
consideration by the Legislature, and if
it should conclude to submit any consti-
tutional amendments to the people it
could do no harm to include this one.

A FEW WORDS WITH MIR. FOUNTAIN

The Journal publishes this morning
the statement of Mr.. G. M. Fountain,
president of the County Officers Asso-
citation and clerk of the court in st.
Joseph county. read to the House COM
mittee on fees and salaries. The Jour
nal will only consider those portions re-
fiecting upon the press, and those por-
tions because they are, to put it mildly,
misleading. The person who gets the
worst of a cause in court blames or
curses the judge. according to his pro-
pensity to express himself by epithet,
so the really excellent person who has
been connected with some transaction
which, on it's face, is off color, reviles
the newspaper which publishes the act
and comments on it. Mr.. Fountain is
one Of these excellent but unfortunate
individuals. He would like to shift the
responsibility of the circular to which he
alludes. and, therefore, blames it on the
newspapers which published it. 1t was
a circular which notified every county
officer in Indiana that he had been as
sessed l per cent. of his salary ito meet
the necessary expenses of changing the
fee and salary law" Unless the gov
officers. for the county officers. such
circular is a matter of public Importance.
Mr.. Fountain. as that ''judicious pub
Usher" may think otherwise. but the
people of Indiana are with the news
papers who will tell them what is going
on that may affect their interests.
Here is the matter in brief: An au-
thorized officer of the County Officers
Association issues an assessment circu-
lar which, if every county officer is a
loyal member of that body, as Mr.. Foun-
tain AYERS would raise $4,000 or $780, 0ec.
In commenting ON this circular the Jour
nal said:
If the county officers whose names are
mentioned in this circular have any ex-
from the conviction which this circular car
ries that they have formed conspiracy
to corruptly influence the Legislature the
Journal will be pleased to print it.
This Invitation neither Mr.. Fountain
nor his associates have accepted; but in
stead, nearly two weeks after the pub
lication, he goes to committee of the
Legislature and. assuming the role of
the truly good and the martyr, snivels
about 1.-The vilification of the press and

As an argument in favor of the bill
to lstraighten the Kankakee river it is
stated that the money expended by the
State on Momence. rock has increased
the value of sixty thousand acres of
land in Lake county from IS to IS per
acre. In other words. the work done by
the State has put that much money into
the pockets of the owners Of these lands
without benefiting the rest of the State
a particle. This is a first rate argument
in favor of the Strengthening of the Kan
kakee by the owners of the land that
would be benefited by it.
