lfdllauluHl SpccldLI
indianapolis, April 11.-While the
states Republican orators spoke of
harmony and while enthusiasm and
applause on account of this harmony
ran wild In the convention this after
room the committee on resolutions
wrangled in it's room over form of
platform and wrangled heartedly and
in manner that would suggest any
thing but harmony.
The first session of the committee
had been held at noon when it was
organized. 1t at once went about franz
ing a platform from u form handed to
1t by. the state committee. The form
showed that 1t had been written full
of Governor Hanly's ideas.
But the part of 1t referring to ma
tional affairs. ETC.. was adopted with
out trouble by the committee. All
went well until the reading of the
plank against public officers retain
ing interest on public funds. Just pre-
viously to this Mr.. Thayer of the thir-
teenth district had been squelched for
Offering a plank calling for the elec-
tlon of United States senators by d.
rect vote of the people. The proposi-
tion was voted down at once.
Newly Starts Trouble.
1t was just after this that the trou-
BILE started. l.. p. Newly, of Knights
town in the Sixth district objected to
10 Ia lpl In &c, hx-
Ralph Kane of Noblesville. A heated
discussion followed in which some
harsh things were said on both sides.
Addison G. Harris presided but took
no part In the discussion, except to
subdue the wrath of the platform
makers.
The platform was to have been
ready to report to the convention
this afternoon but the meeting ad-
journed about 2:S0 until o'clock to
give the committee chance to hear
the keynote speeches.
AT five o'clock the committee met
again and the opponents to the pub
lie fund proposition evidently had
been pressed by higher ones in the
party to accept the plank.
The committee at this session OBJ
served the strictest secrecy and after
a long session announced that the
platform would be ready to present
tomorrow morning. No member of the
committee would say what the final
decision was. 1t was understood how
ever. that the plank went through and
that the platform will be reported
practically as first written.
The Troublesome Plank.
The plank that caused the trouble
was as follows:
I. We favor the enactment OF a
law providing for public repositories
Of public funds.
e.. We pledge our party to enact a
law that will guarantee to the public
the use and benefit Of all public mon
eys and all interest derived there
from, whether township, town, city,
county or State.
8. We favor the enactment Of a
law requiring all State Officers col.
iecting money for the State to make
daily settlements with the State
Treasurer.
4. We also favor the enactme mt
Of law providing for uniform sys-
tenn Of bookkeeping and for an exami-
. nation of public accounts.
Convention Harmonious.
The convention, however, saw none
of this wild trouble. There was har.
mony with big H" in everything

Publishers Press1

Indianapolis, April 11.-Congress
man Bricks address in assuming the
gavel as temporary chairman aroused
great enthusiasm, and he was inter-
rupted frequently by applause. The
address in part follows:
Gentlemen of the Convention.
1T is my opinion that this is the
grandest and best country in the
world
And / want to say something about
the people and the party who have
made it so. In the year 1899 Abra-
ham Lincoln said, Many free count
ries have lost their liberty, and ours
may lose hers, but if she shall, be it
my pToudest plume, not that l was the
last to desert. but that l have never
deserted her" Since he uttered those
memorable words, for more than half
a century, the name Of our country
and the party of Abraham Lincoln
have been synonymous. Ever since
that inspired event, even to the pres
ent day, to have deserted either meant
doubt and dread and darkened fear,
a midnight pail to a glorious memory
nations grandest flight, when did the
sun in all it's ceaseless wanderings
ever look down upon SO magnificent a
scene? What country in the realms
of history ever possessed a party Of
such splendid achievement?
Joy of Prosperity.
who is there among the myriad
million sons of JOY, drinking at all
the foundations of prosperity,-what
patriot of land supreme, whose pre-
sent is big with promise, that will
by any act of his, in this grand year,
poison the springs of exultant hope.
But ever since the world evolved
out of chaos, prosperity and success,
has been the test of many strength
and human folly. / wonder If we all
fully realize just how prosperous and
happy and great we are today.
wonder if any body is thinking about
the time when hope died on the hearth
stone and joy went up the chimney,
and how fate may brng it back again.
About that marvellous story of our
nations fall in the dying years of the
closing century, and then it's long and
weary journey through the sunless
lands of an industrial midnight, cheer
ed by not a single cleaning star, to
burst at all into a dignity, power and
grandeur that taught the whole world
to look our way and honor us. Can
the American people stand prosper
ity?
That's the question.
And the answer comes laundering
back from everywhere, from the vine
clad home, from farm and factory and
from every consecreated playground
where laugh the little children:
Wen not forget; well not forget,
the torch of the mind is the soldiers
of our countries splendor, and mem
ory is its color bearer.
And while / am talking the name
of matchless soldier lawyer, patriot,
statesman comes up before ne like
dream to fill the hall with his death
less memory.
This is the home OF Benjamin Har-
rison.

party that he loved.

No Fear Of Prosecution.

Fort Worth, Tex. March zi-R
X. Erwin, a prominent oil mill man
from Waxahachie, was in the city
yesterday in attendance on the fat
stock show. In speaking Of the oil
mill business during the past season
Mr.. Erwin was heard to say:
''The oil mills throughout the
state had a fairly successful season
and found a ready market for their
output at satisfactory prices We
are expecting oil mill products to go
still higher before the close of the
spring, as things seem to point that
way"
When asked if he expected any
thing in the way of prosecution under
the antitrust laws Of the state, he
said:
mo. we have no fear OF any act
ion being taken by Hon Monta Moore
as we have no oil mill trust in the
state. and for that reason have moth
ing to fear"

WILL FILE SUITS.
Condemnation Proceedings to BE In
stitutcd Against Property
Holders

The Trinity and BraZos Valley
management is anxious to begin grad
ing at this end of the line, but can
not do so until the right of way
through the city has been procured.
Deals have been closed for most of
the right of way, but there are yet
some property holders, who, it is
claimed, are holding for a price which
the committee thinks is unreasonable.
A member of the right of way COM
mittee stated today that it had about
decided to institute condemnation
proceedings against the rest of the
property. In order to close matters
up as soon as possible the filing of
suits will be commenced next week.

FAR REACHING
May BE the Decision On the Love Tax
Law.

Austin. Tex, March "a The
sweeping decision Of the court of
civil appeals in holding unconstution-
al the Love gross receipts tax law,
promises TO be even more far-reach-
ing in its effects than at first glance
would seem apparent. 1t is now said
that the decision will prove serious
stumbling block in the path of the
lawmakers in attempting to frame
up tax laws in the future OF course,
1t is said by many that the supreme
court has yet TO pass on the law, but
even If the court of civil appeals
would be reversed, this opinion would
have a serious effect and bearing on
future legislation looking to the tax
ing of corporations
The attorney general has nothing
to say for publication on the decision,
but the department is at present pre-
pairing a motion for rehearing, and
if this is overruled then the case will
be appealed to the supreme court
Another phase of this decision is
| ing on the other tax measures passed
by the last legislature and the constu-
ionality of which is still in the bal
ance. Indeed, from we'll known law
yers here, the opinion prevails that
the decision on the Love act means
the destruction of the williams in
tangible tax law, just as soon as i
reaches the higher courts. In tha
event. it would mean the practica
wiping out of the tax revenue meas
! ures passed by the Twenty-ninth leg
islature.
/ Thus far the Kennedy tax law has
proved the best of the acts passed
by the last legislature in the way of
producing money to run the govern
ment. 1t is true this law has also
been assailed and its fate has not yet
! been determined by the higher courts
! but it has already brought to the
state in the way of taxes something
over 500. 900.

Trimming the Trees.

Newton Smith, who was elected bor-
ough electrician at the last meeting of
council, is now in charge of the local
electric light plant.
In addition to his everyday duties
the electrician, assisted by James Glib
son, just now is engaged in trimming
the trees throughout the borough to
prevent grounding. This is a process
necessary at least once year. The
limbs are continually expanding by
growth, in addition to which the
branches weighted by the rank foil
age, droop until they come in contact
with the wire Grounding, " caused
in this way, leads not only to loss of
electricity but the current proves very
injurious to the trees.
The electrician and assistant are 60

ont the trees so as to leave the wires
everywhere swinging clear. Here and
there the two men meet with "A mild
remonstrance from property owners,
