Will be an important one for several rea-

Of the Indianapolis division. The impor-
tant questions TO come up are the empower
ing of the board Of directors to provide for
~refunding all Indebtedness of the company
and as far as practicable to arrange for
converting the fixed obligations of the
company under leases of other railways,
guarantees, etc. In the ~refunding. the
bonds will bear a rate Of interest not to ex-
coed 4 per cent. To sell such refunding
bonds the board Of directors may find II
expedient TO refund the obligations of
the company. Among other uses to which
the proceeds of the sales of the bonds may
be put is the purchase of any railroad held
under lease or operated under contract;
to extend, improve or maintain the rail-
roads Of the company, TO construct branch
lines, to lay double or additional track,
to increase the machinery or rolling
stock, to build depots. elevators, shops,

PRIMARY ELECTION BILL.


Representative-elect John A. Minturn
has prepared a reform primary election
bill of seventy-one provisions which covers
ell phases of opposed election reforms.
The bill does away with political conven-
tons except for the purpose of drafting
platforms, but no candidate can be NOM
mated at the convention. A registration
system is to be established providing for
all voters to register, seven, five or two
weeks before the final election. At the
registration the candidates are voted for.
Candidates are to announce themselves
thirteen days before the primary election
providing their petition is signed by a
certain number of voters and is recognized
by the state and county officers. according
to the office for which they desire to be a
candidate. Mr.. Minturn says his bill is
largely in the manner of suggestions for
reforms and that he will not push its en-
actment. He wishes to give the legislative
committee something to build a reform law
on. The suggestions, he says, have been
carried out in other States and are prac-
teal.

H DEPARTMENTS.
POSTAL SERVICE.
Blessings of the Extension of Rural
Free Delivery Pointed Out.

The continued and rapid growth of the
postal service is a sure index of the great
and increasing business activity of the
country. It's most striking new develop
ment is the extension Of rural free de-
livery. This has come almost wholly with
in the last year. At the beginning OF the
fiscal year 1s99-19OO the number of routes
in operation was only 39l, and most of
these had been running less than twelve
months. On the 18th of November, 1900.
the number had increased to 2,614, reach
ing into forty-four States and Territories,
and serving a population of 1.SO1 ,524. The
number of applications now pending and
awaiting action nearly equals all those
granted up to the present time, and by
the close of the current fiscal year about
1000 routes will have been established,
providing for the daily delivery of mails
at the scattered homes of about three and
a half millions of rural population.
This service ameliorates the isolation of
farm life, induces to good roads. and
ouickens and extends the dissemination of
general information. Experience thus Tar
has tended to allay the apprehension that
it would be so expensive as TO forbid It's
general adoption or make II a serious bur-
den. Its actual application has shown that
if increases postal receipts, and can be ac-
companied by reductions in other branches
of the service, so that the augmented rev.
enueS and the accomplished savings to-
gether materially reduce the net cost. The
evidences which point to these conclusions
are presented in detail in the annual re-
port of the postmaster general Whlcn with
its recommendations is to the
consideration of the Congress The full de-
of this special service, however.
requires such a large outlay OF money that
it should be undertaken only after a care
full study and thorough understanding of all
that IL involves.
