TERMS OF COUNTY OFFICERS.
Bill to Do Away with Confusion Pre-
pared by w. l.. Taylor.

A bill to equalize the terms of county Off
GERS. prepared by former Attorney General
William L. Taylor, will be introduced early
in the session of the Legislature. The sub
ject is one to which Mr.. Taylor has given
great deal of attention. His investigation of
the situation in the State has made it appar-
ent to him that nine-tenths of the confusion
that results when a new set OF officers takes
hold of a countys affairs is caused by the
fact that one officer will go in on a certain
date, another one two or three months later,
and perhaps still another. or two or three
others, late a year afterward. All
not only to the county officers themselves,
but to the State when it comes time to
make returns to the treasurer.
An important phase of the bill will be TO
equaliZe the terms of the judges. AS ii is
there seven circuit superior and GRIM
inal judges in the State who do not take
the bench until twenty-three months after
they are elected. That is a state of affairs
which Mr.. Taylor holds should not exist
There are many others whose terms do not
begin until some months after they are
elected. Judge Vinson Carter, of the Mar
ion Superior Court, Is one of the seven
judges whose terms do not begin until
twenty-three months after election.
Mr.. Taylors plan Is to have all the coun-
ty officers take their seats the 1st day of
January after they are elected. If the bill
is passed it will necessitate many of the
county officers holding over for some
in the old way, but that is not an insur-
mountable objection, Mr.. Taylor says, and
on the other hand no officer will lose day
of service.

THE GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Economy VIII BE the keynote Of the
Address.

The keynote of the message of Governor
Durbin to the Legislature will be economy.
During his term of office the Governor has
insisted upon the closest inspection of all
accounts and has taken the position that
not a cent shall be spent for anything of
which the State does not stand in absolute
need.
The message, it is understood, will make
important recommendations concerning the
State institutions. In reports TO the Gov
ernor from superintendent of the different
homes in which the wards of the State are
placed requests are included that addi-
tional buildings be erected and that inn
provementS neceSsitating the expenditure
of large amounts of money be made The
Governors attitude favors liberahty in the
care of these institutions, but he will eau
ton the legislators, it is stated, as to max
Ing appropriations for improvements that
are not required absolutely.
The message will lay stress on the fact
that the State is now in better financial
position than ever before. and that the
bills should be scrutiniZed with the utmost
care in order that the good work may
go on.
The message itself will require about
two hours in reading, the Governor says.
Attention is to be given to all subjects of
Importance, and the document will be ex-
hauStive in its nature

PROGRESSING NICELY.
President BoOkwalter and Secretary
BrysOn Will Go to Louisville To-
MOrrOw-BOwIing Scores.

National bowling tournament affairs
moving fast. The minutiae of the great
event is being disposed of rapidly and
there is little left to be done that may be
done at this time. The tickets for the
bowlers who may enter the various classes
have been printed and will be filled out
promptly when the entries are tabulated.
The season tickets for the tournament
will be put on sale at once. Secretary
Bryson says arrangements have been made
for their general distribution through the
city. The season tickets are good for adj
mission at any time during the six days
of the tournament and this privilege is
not given otherwise except to the stock
holders in the tournament association and
the bowlers entered. The season tickets
will lie sold at 81 each. This is considered
low price as the tournament begins in
the morning and does not end until mid
night.
Tomorrow President Bookwalter and
Secretary Bryson will go 20 Louisville for
the evening TO attend a meeting of Louis
vile bowlers, which will be held in the
parlors of the Calf House. Robert w.
Brown, managing editor of the Louisville
Courier-Journal, himself an enthusiastic
bowler, will preside and representatives
from every club in the city will be in at
tendance j. j. Hanger, OF Louisville, mas
vile bowlers will send from seven TO
twelve teams TO this city and that they
will compose the delegation that will pre-
sent the name of Louisville as the location
for the 1904 tournament. Mr.. Brown-or
Bob" Brown as he is best known-will be
the leader of the Falls City bunch" which
will come with ample financial backing
to make impression on the American
Bowling Congress.
But Louisville will not be the only city
to seek the next tournament. President
Charles +. Moll, of Milwaukee, writes TO
Mr.. Bryson that the Wisconsin boWlerS
want the next tournament at Milwaukee,
and will come prepared to get it. Mr.. Mol
will be in this city Saturday to make ar
rangements Tor the delegation of forty
bowlers that will come from the Blue
Ribbon city. The Wisconsin state tour
nament will be held the week preceding
the national tournament for no other pur-
pose than to key up the men who want
to carry trophies back with them Be
sides Milwaukee many other cities In WIS
consin will send teams,
Two officers of the American bowling
Congress will also be here Saturday. They
are w. V. Thompson, of Chicago, vice pres
ident, and the omnipresent Sam karpf, or
Dayton, secretary. Mr. Karpf has been
touring the " est with his trio (Vorheis,
Setback and Peterson) and they Will prob
ably be with him here.
The size of the national tournament will
be fully up to the anticipations of the local
directory when it provided ten alleys for

Minority Legislators Have Love
Feast at the Grand Hotel.

The minority love feast last night was an
exclusive affair. the doors being barred to
every one not a Democratic member of the
General Assembly. Several of the leading
lights" of the party who are not legisla-
tors were in the city. but they were not
invited as guests of honor. and as for re-
porters, they were not supposed to come
within hailing distance of the dining room.
The affair was we'll attended, practically
every one of the fourteen senators and
thirty-four representatives Of the minority
being present. The dinner was served in
the ordinary at the Grand at o'clock. and
IL was almost midnight before the feast
of reason and flow of soul" was at an end.
Senator W. III. O'Brien, of Lawrenceburg,
the Democratic state chairman, presided as
POSTMASTER. and the principal speakers
were Senators Fortune, Fleming and
O'Brien and Representatives Slack and
Adair Nearly every man present. however,
contributed small part to the postprandial
programme. At the conclusion of the affair
the members of the minority insisted that
il had been solely love feast and that
nothing had been done or discussed beyond
the outlining OLA policy to be followed
during the session.
The Democrats claim that harmony
abides with them and that their caucuses
tonight will go through without hitch.
Senator Fortune will be chosen floor leader
for the Senate. Senator Johnson caucus
chairman and Senator O'Brien joint caucus
chairman. In the House Representative
Slack will be elected floor leader and Rep
resentative Adair caucus chairman.
The caucuses will be held at the Grand
at clock tonight The senators and rep
resentatives will meet separately to form
their respective organizations, and then a
joint meeting will be held to decide on a
candidate for United States senator. 1t is
believed that r. +. Shively. of South Bend,
will receive this recognition. Thomas Tag
