THE PUBLIC WELFARE DEMANDS 1T,

The free coinage organs have been
trying to separate Republicans who may
be In doubt from their party allegiance
by declaring that the sound money ad-
vocates In the Republican party are sup
porting the Presidents policy and are
interested in the success Of his faction
of the party. This is not the case; at
least the Journal has not a Republican
exchange that indorses the President s
policy, except as far as he opposes the
free coinage of silver All OF them have
denounced the State bank-note attach
ment of the administrations plan. Such
party papers are not approving of the
work of a sound-money association in
New York which is jealous - send cut

the Journal desires the success of the

growth of sound money ideas in
the ranks of the Kentucky Democracy,
just as it is gratified at any fresh exhi-

section. 1t does this because it is pro-

THREE IMPORTANT DECISIONS.

1t is not often that the Supreme Court
hands down three decisions in one day
as important and affecting as varied in
terests as those rendered on Saturday.
First. as to the Roby decision. The peo-
pie have become very much Interested in
the attempt to break UP the disreputable
racing and gambling resort established
by Chicago sports at Roby. They felt
that the establishment was {, disgrace
to the State, and it angered them that
IL should be carried on in defiance of
law. An act passed by the last Legisla-
ture was intended to furnish an effective
remedy, but its enforcement was resist
ed by the Roby people. and they gained
a victory in the Circuit Court Of Lake
county. The State appealed the case to
the Supreme Court, which now overrules
the lower court and holds the act con-
stitutional and valid. It's enforcement
will compel the Roby people TO close the
place or conform to the law, and thereby
change their whole manner of procedure.
This decision is a victory for the good
morals and for the people of Indiana
over Chicago sports and gamolers.
The decision holding that paid-up
building and loan stock Is taxable set
ties an earnest though friendly conten-
ton in favor of the State. and will add
several million dollars to the tax dupli-
cate AS presented to the court the
case involved some questions CT form
and procedure, but the court decided
only the essential point, that paid-up
stock in associations of this kind is tax
able as against it's holders. In render
ing this decision the court intimated
that all building and loan stock, includ
ing that held by borrowers. might be
subject to taxation, but as this point
was not before the court it declined to
pass upon 1t. The only point decided is
that paid-up stock, or stock which rep
resents money loaned to the association,
even though but partly paid for. is taxa
BILE. The only kind of stock which the
court distinctly holds as taxable is that
which represents money loaned to the
association, and which is held az an in
vestment.
The third decision clears up all doubt
as to the status of county officers under
the fee and salary legislation of 1891 and
1893. BY il county auditors, recorders
and treasurers elected since 1890 are al
lowed the salaries fixed by the law of
1891 from and after the passage Of the
amendatory act of May IS, 1S99 In
other words, the court holds valid the
amendatory act of 1898 curing a defect
in the act of 1891, thus giving uniform
effect and operation to the latter act.
This decision establishes a fee and sal
airy law applicable to all county officers,
and of uniform operation throughout
the State.
