TEN. II this is the case il appears that
labor organizations are practically OPP
posed to any employment of the labor
whatever, since it cannot be employed
without producing something. and produc-
ing and not selling would leave the State
in an impossible situation-impossble be-
cause it cannot make goods and not sell
them.
In the State Prison and Reformatory there
are probably eight hundred men whose la
Dor can be turned to some account outside
the work about the prison. There may
be more than eight hundred, but If the
number is one thousand its working ca
pacity would not be over five hundred men.
The product of five hundred men employed
in half dozen industries would not be
more than a drop in bucket of all the
productive force of the State. 1t will be
impossible to please everybody in the So
luton of this problem. therefore the thing
10 do is TO put the inmates of the insti-
tutions at some useful work which will
lessen the expense to the taxpayers and
prepare the men to care for themselves
when they come out of the prisons. The
question should not be made one of poll
tics, since it is one of public economy which
affects all the people and practically the
well-being of the inmates of the penal in

A few years ago the Office of secretary
of state was not regarded as a revenue
getter, but under Republican legislation,
and particularly under the administration
of Hon. Union B. Hunt it has turned into
the treasury 1924, 331.16. which in a prosper
Gus period Is a good deal of money. Mr..
Hunt attributes the increased collection of
fees by the office largely to prosperity, but
large part of it is due to the legislation
which he suggested. Mr.. Hunt suggests
that the fees which the Office collects may
be materially increased by legislation Mr..
Hunt has not only been faithful. but a
jealous official.

One of the difficult problems to solve is
that respecting the disposition of the Ia

has troubled every State in the North. In
the South prisoners are let out to work

them greater criminals and more burden

States the opposition to the contract sys-

and manufacturers. The system doubtless
has abuses. but 1t has kept the men en-
ployed and enabled the prisons to pay a
part of the money necessary for their main

A Constitutional Question.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal;
The newspaper reports of the trial Of
Sheriff Dudley before Governor Durbin
have been carefully read by many of our
citizens. The interest taken was not due
to any feeling for or against the deposed
sheriff. 1t was the interest which attache q
to the most remarkable departure i'm civil
procedure ever witnessed in the State of
Indiana. The ant-lynching act of 1901 in
itself is remarkable from the fact that IL
seeks TO invest the Governor with a power
which, under the Constitution, lies entirely
within the courts. Section 16l of the Con-
stitution says:
THE judicial power of the State shall be
vested in the Supreme Court, the circuit
courts, and in such other courts as the
General Assembly may establish.
The judicial power extends to all cases in
law and equity: there is no exception under
the Constitution. 1t Is likewise declared
under the Constitution that no person shall
be deprived of life, liberty or property
without due process of law The Supreme
Court has repeatedly held that public
office is property" The anti-lynching act
provides tribunal that is impossible. Was
the recent trial held before the Governor

The report of the Commercial Club COM
mittee which has been investigating the
subject of legislative relief for the city
schools embodies recommendations at once
progressive and conservative. Recognizing
the unquestioned fact of the present lack
of school buildings and equipments. and
the necessity of providing increased accom-
modations for the growing population of
the city, the committee suggests a plan
for providing the necessary funds without
a large increase of taxation. The School
Board suggested that the Legislature be
asked to amend the law so that the tax
levy might be increased 10 cents on the
800. Instead of this the committee recon-
mends that the maximum limit of taxation
be fixed at cents on the 500, and that
the balance of needed funds, to the amount
of s450.000. be raised by the issue of bonds.
This would increase the debt of the School
Board, but it would also add materially to
its assets, and as the bonds run for term
of years the burden of their payment would
be distributed. The reasons offered by the
committee in favor of this plan show that
1T is decidedly preferable to that of the
board, and probably the best that can be
suggested for meeting the needs of the
schools.
