Several Increases Voted That the
House of Representatives
Refused to Allow.
HOUSE ON THE PRIMARY BILL
1T REFUSES TO CONCUR IN THE SEN
ATE AMENDMENT.
House Kills Goodwine's Bill for Sale
of Woman's Prison Grounds
Medical Bill Passed.

The two branches of the State Legisla-
ture were very busy places yesterday. The
House worked until nearly 6 o'clock and
the Senate did not adjourn until $3.50. To-
day Is practically the last day when bills
can be passed. as Governor Durbin has
announced that he will not receive meas
ures passed after to-day. 1t Is understood.
however. that the constitutional rule will
be waived In the event II Is necessary In
the case OF the appropriation bill. This
bill was considered in the Senate yester-
day afternoon and a number of amend-
ments were made TO IT. The Senate con-
sidered some House bills on second read
ing I'm the afternoon and i'm the morning
had House bills In third reading.
The House yesterday refused TO concur
I'm the Senate amendments TO Mr.. Minturn's
primary election bill and a conference
committee consisting OF Representatives
Minturn and James was appointed to meet
a like committee from the Senate. Lieu
tenant Governor Gilbert appointed Sena-
tors Joss and Legcman to meet the House
committee. Senator Goodwine's bill pro-
viding for the sale of the land occupied
by the Industrial school for Girls and
Woman's Prison met a dire fate In the
House in the afternoon. the minority re-
port of the ways and means committee
recommending the indefinite postponement
OF the bill. being adopted. This report was
signed by but one member of the COM
mittee. The House passed the Wood medi-
cal bill with no argument except when 4
member arose to explain his vote.

AN INDISPENSABLE MEASURE.

Ii is d..hcult to account for the spirit
hat led the Legislature to pass the bill
increasing tho salaries of nremen In this
city. In searching for the animus of the
measure IL must be remembered that the
city charter gives the Council and Board
of Safety power to fix the pay of all MEM
bers and employees OF the tire force; that
their present compensation. carefully adj
justed according TO the city's revenue and
its other obligations. Is fairly liberal: that
the proposed bill will increase the pay
roll of the department 10000 a year with
out charging it's equipment or increasing
its efficiency; that the city press. repre-
senting the best interests OF the city at
large. and those OF taxpayers In particular.
was unanimous against the measure. and
that 1t is a fragrant violation OF the prin-
ciple of local self-goverrnent and of. mu-
nlcipal reform-when all this is remem-
bered IL Is difficult TO conceive of any ade-
quate motive for the action of the Legisla-
ture. Approval OF the services of the fire.
men Is not such a motive. because the
City Council knows more about their serv-
ices and claims than the Legislature does.
IL the motive was To spite indianapolis 1t
was contemplate and unjust. A legislator
who votes for any measure, no matter on
what subject, through spite demonstrates
his unftness TO be a lawmaker. Besides.
neither the city Of Indianapolis nor the
people has done anything to call for
punitive legislation in the form of an arbi-
frarV inpraaGa of pnnnfcipa1 a~pancac opI
implying their unftness for self-govern-
ment by denying to the Council a power
exercised by that of the smallest incor-
porated city in the State. Such an increase
of expenses would be in direct violation of
the last Republican city platform, that OF
August. 1898. which. after censuring the
extravaganza and financial recklessness of
the previous city administration, said
w demand a more economical admins
t~ration, that all ordinary expenditures be
met with the city's current income" and
the nominees of the convention were
pledged to IAN intelligent, honest and bust
nesslike administration of the city's af-
fairs" 1t is a poor response to such a
pledge and a poor earnest of future Re-
publican performance for a Republican
| Legislature to pass a bill adding $4,000 a
year to the pay roll of the fire department,
regardless of the fact that the tax levy
has been fixed and that every dollar OF
city revenue in sight is practically mort
gagged already. The bill is indefensible from
any point of view except that of the per-
sonal interests of the fremen. and these
should not weigh in the balance against
the rights of the people to self-government
and the interests of the great body of tax
payers.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1901-03-08

statements OF Mr.. Pettigrew and his asso-
ciates I'm relation TO the Philippine law
are correct. II Is evident that the Southern
senators value their anti-imperialistic con-
victions as some portion of the A9,Oo,OD
the portion which went to the South
probably the larger portion. IL there were
twenty such senators. and the South's
share of the ineefenslble river and harbor
bill was SIS. 900. 600. the convictions of a
Southern senator on that question were
put upon the market for 81. 10000 Of the
fund devoted to the making of rivers and
harbors. The senator gets none Of the
money. but he values the wishes of his
constituents above a policy which his party
leaders made much of during the last cam
paign and have been proposing TO make
more of in the future.
Hereafter there is nothing to prevent
those senator's whom Mr.. Pettigrew charges
with selling out their anti-imperialism for
a few millions for rivers and harbors from
denouncing the President as committed to
Imperialism or of painting in blacklist col
ors the evils resulting from a policy which
is comforting a government OF education
and security upon that minority of the
Filipinos who have preferred misrule UNI
der Aguinaldo; still, when their opponents
