TO AVOID EXTRA SESSION
SPEAKER REED WILL RUSH THE
HOUSE BILLS FROM NOW ON.
Nothing Definite Has Been Settled Re-
garding Nicaragua Canal Bill
New Census Plan.

WASHINGTON, Feb. with but four
weeks of the session remaining, Speaker
Reed and the rules committee of the House
have taken the reins in their hands to keep
the road clear for the business which must
be transacted in order to avoid an extra
session. But four appropriation bills remain
TO be acted on by the House-the army.
navy. sundry civil and general deficiency.
Two of these-the sundry civil and the
naval-wiu be ready during the early part
of the week The rules committee yester-
day blocked out work for the week as fol-
lows: Tomorrow, suspension day; Tuesday
and Wednesday, public buildings Thursday
and Friday. appropriation bills, and Satur-
day, eulogies upon the late Representative
Dingley. 1t is likely that the census bill
will be passed under suspension of the rules
tomorrow, but it may be that owing to its
importance, although there is no special OPP
position to the bill, its consideration may
be postponed. Nothing definite has been set
tied about the Nicaragua canal bill,
Hawaiian or shipping bills but they are too
important to be hurried through under sus-
pension of the rules. The public building
bills which will be considered Tuesday and
Wednesday have not all been reported, but
they will include bills for the New York
custom house. the Carnegie library in this
city and other bills for public buildings
throughout the country. The naval bill,
which will be taken up on Thursday Will
carry provision for the new ships, and Is
likely 10 lead to a most interesting debate,
especially in view of the existing compllca-
lions in the Philippines. 1t will be the first
opportunity for DEBATE on general topics in
the programme of the week.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
In recent editorials of the Journal occur
the following terse and very suggestive
statements: Whether the State Board of
Education is reorganized or not there
seems to be room for reform in the business
management and methods of some of the in
situations which receive state aid.
An educational institution that is supported
in whole or in part by the State should be
required to use the same business methods
and to account for all its expenditures as
strictly as the penal or benevolent institu-
tons. comparison of the nonstate schools
with the state schools is decidedly
favoable to the former in respect
of administrative and operating eX-
penses The great difference in
favor of the institutions that do not re-
ceive state aid show that they must be much
more economically managed. Extravaganza
does not necessarily argue efficiency, and
educational institutions which receive state
aid should be held to the same accountable
ity in business methods as are other state
institutions
In the late discussion before the Senate
committee on education a nOnstate man
asked why the Indiana University, if a
public state institution, does not make an
itemized properly certified accounting to
the state of all its receipts and eXpendi-
lures. The reply of the president and of the
that the Indiana University is a public
state institution, but q private corpora
ton II was not compelled by law to make
an itemiZed accounting of its receipts and
expenditures.
Now. 1 ask why does not some member of
the present Legislature prepare and intro
duce bill requiring all corporations re-
celving state aid to practice the same bust
ness methods required by the state institu-
tons, not merely an accounting of the ex-
penditure of the money secured from the
State. but of all their receipts? The state
should know that the trustees of these cor
porations are managing their assets eco
nomically and otherwise properly, or with
hold all further appropriations and repeal
all laws taxing the people for their sup
port From the auditors statement to the
Senate in 1897 it appears that the receipts
of the State University Ga private corpora
tom aggregated during the preceding thirty
years the enormous sum of 81, 34S, 666 So and
81 ,145 coo of this amount was received di-
rectly from the State and yet there has been
no htemiZed certified accounting to the state
treasurer. / do not know the exact amount
of this private corporations receipts in 1885, |
but they were probably not less than S140,-
600. VIII the Legislature now in session, as
have so many others, neglect to enact a law |
requiring the proper accounting of all |
moneys 1t appropriates to private corpora |
tons and state boards and commissions?

ing to the attitude of the Legislature to-
ward the institution and the educational bill

the House tomorrow. Both classes were
divided and vote of the sophomore class
resulted in tie, while the freshmen in
definitely postponed their vote. Later in the
day it was rumored that the sophomores
had decided to scrap" and would be out en-
masse last night. About 10 o'clock a gang
Of sophomores went to the Kappa Kappa
Gamma girls fraternity chapter house,
where a party was being held and by
trick got hold of four freshmen and pro-
