SENATOR JoSS'S BILL PASSED
1T AUTHORIZES THE CONSOLIDATION
OF RAILROADS.
New Bills introduced in the House
A Lincoln ACKNOWLEDGMENT
Iative Routine.

Both houses of the Legislature had busy
sessions yesterday. In the afternoon the
House devoted some time to speeches In
honor of Lincoln's birthday, and resolu-
tons were offered and read. A committee
consisting of Representatives Louttit, Nc
Carly, Reser and Whitcomb presented res
~olutions drafted in memory of the late
Charles L. Drummond. who was a member
of the House at the time Of his death.
In the Senate there was a hot debate
just before the noon adjournment over a
resolution offered by Senator Matson to
adjourn until this morning. The motion
was opposed by Senator Wood, and this
brought Senator Stillwell to his feet. He
denounced the Republicans, as did Senator
Inman, intimating that the Republican
party had not the respect for the teachings
of Lincoln that il once had. Senator Wood
replied with considerable spirit and was ap7
plauded. Several bills were passed in the
Senate yesterday. among them being the
measure authorizing the consolidation of
railroad companies, introduced by Senator
Joss. The Senate also passed Senator
Burns's bill codifying all the laws for the
relief of the poor.
In the House a number of new bills were
introduced, one of them being a measure to
equaliZe the salaries of state officers. The
bill. should it become a law, will not affect
the present state officers. One of the i'm
portant measures passed in tile House was

Senator Binkley introduced a bill, yester-
day, which provides that the Appellate
Court shall be composed of six, instead of
FIVE judges, and shall sit In two divisions.
The State shall be divided into six districts.
The judges residing in the first, second and
third districts shall constitute the first di-
vision and those in the remaining dis
tricts shall constitute the second division.
Appeals from the first, second or third dis
tricts shall be assigned to the second divi-
sion. and appeals from the fourth, fifth and
sixth districts shall be assigned to the first
division. There shall be no appeal in any
civil case within the jurisdiction of q justice
of the peace or in any criminal case of
misdemeanor. to either the Appellate or SUI
preme courts, excepting where the valid
ity of a franchise, the validity of an ordi-
nance of a municipal corporation, or a con-
stituti0nal question is involved. In such
cases the appeals must be direct to the
Supreme Court. Hereafter no appeals shall
be taken direct to the Supreme Court. ex-
cepting as heretofore stated, and with these
additions: Cases of felony, election con-
tests, mandate and prohibition, habeas
corpus, action to contest wills, liquor IL
cense applications, establishment of public
drains and gravel roads and the establish
ment or obstruction of public streets and
highways. The Governor shall appoint the
Appellate judge for the sixth district, who
shall serve until January, 1908. At the gen.
eTal state election in 1902 there shall be
six Appellate Court judges elected.

COUNTY SCHOOL sUpERINTENDENTs.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Scott, Of Mont
gomery. providing that the presidents of
all corporate schoo boards shall, with tie
township trustees. elect county school
s:Iperintendents, seems to be one that
should ommen itself to the support of
the Legislature. 1t has already been
passed to engrossment in the House. 1t
is urged with much force that a township
trustee in a small township has the same
weight in the election of a county superin-
tendent as has the trustee representing
five or six times as many people and
schools. The selection OF so important an
officer as county school superintendent de-
wolves upon eight or ten township trustees.
If the presidents of corporate school boards
are added the number of men upon whom
such ar election will devolve will not only
be doubled in many counties. but the
boards, which often manage the more im-
portant schools in a county, will have a
voice in the selection of teachers for their
schools which they now have not. 1t is
complained by those who stand for the i'm
provement of the quality of the public
school that the best men are not always
collected by township trustees. Often the
candidate who is the most adroit manipu-
lator succeeds and not the best qualified
man for the Office. If he is elected by per-
sonal favoritism he must repay in kind.
the result of which is the trustees poorly
qualified relative or friends relative is
given a certificate. 1t is further claimed
by the advocates of this bill that the pres
orally elected because they take an active
interest in the welfare OF the schools. In
fact, such boards are made up largely cf
men who are the better ducated in the
community and would not give their votes
TOR an asp,rant for the Office of superin-
tendent who is not qualified and is other
wise unobjectionable. Cities having thirty
or forty teachers and the higher grades
OF schools must accept the teachers who
have the certificates of tfe county super
intendent and are employed by a township
trustee who frequently resides beyond the
corporate limits.
The bill has the support Of the state
superintendent; in fact, 1t is the bill pre-
pared or approved by many of the best
educators in the State-men whose judg-
ment' should bear weight. Withal, the
effect Of the bill, should it become law.
viii be to further remove the management
of public schools from partisan influences
and tend to place the selection of county
superintendent upon merit and qualihca-
ton rather than favoritism and manipuia-
ticn.

by Senator Wood for good reasons. He
also took the members of the minority to
task for attempting 10 make political cap
ital out of the incident.
81 want TO ask" ne said. 'the Democrats
who have been so anxious to show rever-
ence TO the memory OF Lincoln where they
intend TO go If this Senate does adjourn for
this afternoon?" Senator Stillwell replied
that they would go TO the sacred spot called
home. Il doubt not" said Mr.. Matson.
that 1t would be good for some Of the
members of the minority to go TO their
homes. and In their closets pray for for
giveness for the they heaped
upon Lincoln"
bers of the minority, opposed the motion
TO adjourn, saying hat the memory of La
coin could be revered as well in the Senate
as at any other place. The motion to ad-
journ was lost, and the incident was closed.
BILLS CONSIDERED.
A number of important bills were called
up on third reading at the morning session
and, with few exceptions, were passed with
out opposition. Among the bills passed was
the one introduced by Senator Joss, author
izing the consolidation Of railroad COM
panies. Senator Winfield again opposed the
bill with much the same line of argument
he pursued when the bill was on second
reading.
The bill authorizes any foreign railroad
ganized under the laws Of the
State to acquire. either by purchase
t the STATE State. thai any IS n llhe ..ps Of laa and conn m
peting with the line or lines or railroad
of the purchasing or leasing company. Sen
ator Binkley offered an amendment TO the
bill, substituting the word "or' for the word
and" so that the pAovisions of the bill
would not apply TO any competing railroad
line, whether it was parallel or not, which
was carried by a vote of % to is, and the
bill was afterward passed by a vote OF
81 TO z.
Senator Burns's bill, codifying all the
laws for the relief of the poor, was passed
without opposition.
The bill introduced by Senator Thompson
which makes il unlawful for any transient
merchant to ngage in, or TO transact any
business without first having obtained a
license, was amended on motion OF Senator
Heller so that in counties which had no
city with a population of more than 10000
the license fee would be but $40 a day, and
afterward passed without debate.

ernor This commission is to fix the rates
the corporations shall charge. the wages
they shall pay, the number and kind Of
people they shall employ. the amount and
kind Of debentures they may issue, etc.
AT first glance this seems like freak legis-
lation, but 1t illustrates a phase Of current
opinion which seems to be growing-that
corporations of a quasi-public character.
like those named. should be controlled pri-
marily in the interest of the people from
whom they derive their existence. The
twentieth century may see a great devel-
opment Of this idea.

says 1t will equalize the salaries of state
officers. The measure will not apply to the
present state officers. but will affect their

the and in both houses. Mr..

Representative Kelley introduced a bill
to encourage the sugar beet industry. Peo-
pie in the northern part of the State. in
what might be termed the Kankakee val
ley, are much Interested in the bill, as 1t is
in this section that the sugar beet can be
very successfully cultivated. The bill pro-
vides that sugar beet factories shall be OK

Mr.. Davis. Of Wayne. introduced a bill
which gives the Governor of the State au-
thority to appoint the trustees of Indiana
University. This matter is at present in
the hands of the State Board of Education.
A new bill by Mr.. John provides for the
election of three school directors in each
school district in the township, whose duty
1t will be to appoint the teachers for this
district. At present the trustees appoint
these teachers.

SHOULD BE

Notwithstanding the strong expression Of
public opinion against the proposition to
build a Governors residence on St. Clair
Park the Journal learns there is a pros
pect OF the passage of the bill. If so. 1t
will be a clear case of sacrificing public
interests to private. The public interests
in this case are represented by the duty
of the State towards the unfortunate in
mates Of the Institution for the Education
OF the Blind IND by the obligations of COM
ity towards the city of Indianapolis. The
private interests are represented by real
estate spectators who are DESTROYS of hav-
ing a public educational institution re-
moved to the country in order TO bring a
valuable block of ground into the market.
In matters of this kind it often happens
under the rule that what is everybody's
business Is nobody's business" that pub
lie interests are sacrificed because no.
body gives personal attention to them,
while private interests are always care

NOTED by those who have personal ends TO

e~xplainable on any other ground. If there
could be adduced any argument in favor
Of removing the Institute for the Blind and
throwing st. Clair Park on the market
based on the duty or the obligations of
the State or on any public necessity or con-
sideration Of public welfare it would be
worthy of respectful consideration. but a
merely mercenary argument is not. The
State of Indiana is not obliged to traffic
in public institutions or make merchandise
of the interests of it's unfortunate wards
in order to realize a few thousand dollars,
more or less. 1t is under some obligation
to furnish a suitable residence for the Gov
ernor. but that can be done cheaper and
better and without any of the sacrifices
involved in the proposed plan. Because the
an unjust, unnecessary and offensive act
is no reason why the power should be exer-
cised in an arbitrary way. Indeed. it is a
case for the application of the maxim
'noblesse oblige." The very fact that the
State has undisputable power in the
premises shoul induce a liberal exercise of
1t. The pending proposition should be de-
cided in favor of the present and future
inmates of the Blind Institute and their
relatives and friends and the entire popu-
a few real estate spectators who would
profit by the proposed deal. The scheme
is one that richly merits defeat.

Word comes from Greencastle that the
passage of Representative James's court
house bill gives universal satisfaction in
Putnam county. The present courthouse
was built in 1850 and is in a dilapidated con-
dition and is not a safe place for the stor-
ing of county records. The courthouse
question has become a part of Putnam
county politics and at the last Republican
county convention q resolution was adopted
declaring in favor of a new structure. The
Republican commissioners announced them
selves as being in favor of it. The present
commissioners are Democratic and it is
said that 1T was to save them the criticism
