House act No. l63 prcy ides that all
contracts between employer and en-
ploye releasing the employer from lis-
bility for damages arising from the
negligence of the employer by which
the employe is injured or in case of the
employees death to his representatives,
are against public policy and null and
void. Similar contracts between en-
ployer and employe releasing third per-
sons, partnerships or corpora tions
from liability from damages arising
out of the negligence Of such third per-
sons, by which the employe of such en-
pl0yer is injured, or in case of the death
of such employe to his representatives,
are against public policy and null and
void. Section 3 makes void all con.
tracts between an employe and third
person, co partnership or corporation in
which it is agreed that the employer of
such emplOye shall be released from lla.
bility for damages of such employe
arising out of the negligence of the en-
ployer or in case of the death of such
employe to his representatives. The
act, however, does not apply to volun-
tary relief departments or associations,
organized to insure employees, nor to
contracts made prior to the passage of
the act, nor shall the act affect pending
litigation nor contracts made after in
jury. Emergency clause.

House act No. l66 makes it unlawful
TO sell or expose for sale convict-msd sde
goods without first getting a license
from the secretary of state. Applicants
for license must specify the class of
goods and place where they are to be
sold. For license $500 shall Re paid
annually and license fees shall be cred
tied to the maintenance account of the
state prison. Such goods, before being

victmade." A penalty of from $50 to
$1,000 fine and Imprisonment from ten
days TO twelve months is provided.
The act does not apply to outstanding
or existing contracts.

badly shaken. He concludes that the
house was not so utterly bad, but the
senate was something awful. His ex-
perlence as law maker opened hie
eyes. He ascertsined that propositions
are not considered upon their merits
that representatives and senators will
form alliances and sacrifice their Judge
ment upon matters Of public concern;
and that conviction of right does not
determine the votes of members of the
legislature. Mr.. Metsker charges the
senate with having organized q CON-
bination with Newby at it's head for
the purpose of passing such bills as it
desired TO pass s1d to kill such bills as
1t desired TO kill. However, the house
managed to kill every job except the
railroad bill, and the governor put the
finishing touches upon that. The Mar
shall county representative says that the
Newby combination would trade as
high as fifteen votes in order to get q
single vote for some scheme in which
they were especially interested. Mr..
Metsker is very sarcastic in his refer
ences to the "dignifed" body and ex-
presses the hope that the people should
see to it that honorable men are here
after elected TO represent the state as
its lsw-making body. He is evidently
thoroughly disgusted with his first ex-
perience in such capacity"

Under the Reform Laws.

State Ststisticisn Johnson is collect
ing data from the county auditors and
township trustees in reference to re-
ceipts and expenditures during the
first year under the county and town
ship reform laws. The object is to
make comparison between the last
year before the laws went into effect
and the first year under them. State.
ments have been made as to the amount
saved annually since the laws went in
to effect, but the state ststisticisn says
there is no basis on which to make
such statements. The reason for gath
ering the data is to ascertain how much
was actually saved during the first year
under the operation of the laws.

Who Will be the Man?

Hon. Henry Wstterson says there
will be q new Moses, now unhesrd of
in national politics, who will lead the
democrats to victory in 1904. He says:
at must be some new man come to
the front in some one of the four great
determinate states of New York, Ohio,
Indiana and Illinois. None of the old
aspirants can make any serious incis-
ion upon the independent vote. They
are too shop-worn. They seem to have
been marked down upon the bargain
counter. Each of them will get the
strict party vote, no more no less.
There must be some new blood. There
must be fresh man. There must be q
compaign fund. There must be an
alliance that will at least split the cspi-

How Laws are Made.

The South Bend Times in comment
ing upon recent article in the Inde-
pendent Gays as follows.
Representative Clay W. Metsker, of
Marshall county, has q less exalted
opinion of Indisns's lawmakers than
he had before his recent legislative ex-
perience began. In his paper, the Ply
month Independent, he stated recently
that he formerly believed that right
would determine the course of every
member of the legislature, but he soon
learned that the man who log rolls and
is willing to trade his vote for .upport
for his own measures is the one who
will succeed best in getting his BIZ
enacted into law. Especially, Mr..
Metsker says, was this true in regard
to the upper house of the last legisla-
ture. To Senator Newby. of Henry
county, Mr.. Metsker charges the alli-
ance which made it possible to pass
the Muncie Normal school bill, the
Calument canal Dill, the NinceDnes bill,
the straw-board trust bill, the epileptic
asylum bill and the Joss railroad bill.
BY com bining the supporters of these
several bills and trading votes with
dlslnterested members all of these bills
were forced through. 1t certainly is
to be deplored that Objectionable bills
can be passed in this way, but how to
prevent such deals is one of the prob
lens that awaits solution. Truth in
our legislative system is very crude
one and will remain so for an indefi-
mite period The only hope of q
marked improvement in this respect
lies in the election of men as legisls-
tors who will take more exalted view
of duty and responsibility"
