CHARLES E. NEWLIN, DEPUTY AUDITOR, CONFERRED
WITH ATTORNEY GENERAL BINGHAM IN REF
ERENCE TO THE NEW DEPOSITORY LAW.
BINGHAM ASKS FOR. WRITTEN STATEMENT
Opinion Will Be of Interest to the reasuers of many Cities
Of the State, Who Have Similar Compaints-The
indianapolis News Believes Alarm Expressed
r. Is Needless and Gives Its Reasons

distribution is made there need be no
difficulty in knowing whether the city
has sufficient credit to cover any
check that may be drawn. This, or
course is the real question. For un-
der the present law the treasurer
must keep an account of the money
received by him for taxes duo the
city. and on the first day of each
month he is required to receipt to the
controller for the amount collected
for the preceding month, which
amount then becomes available for
the city's use. But may he not keep
such an account now, even though he
makes distribution only at the end of
each six months? He certainly is not
rbidden-but rather is required-tO
honor checks drawn against the city s
deposit. The only question seems to
be as to whether he can know what
the city's deposit is. or whether it
really has a legal deposit in advance
OF distribution.
If there is any serious difficulty
with the law we think tN" lawyers
would do we'll to give it their prompt
consideration. OF course, the fact that
the enforcement of the law may en-
barrass certain cities of the state does
not go to it's validity or constitution
ality, but only to its wisdom. If nee.
essary it can easily enough be amend
ed in this particular. But We are by
no means convinced that any amend
ment in this regard is needed. Pos
sibly it would be well for the Attor'
ney-General to look into the matter
The purpose of the law was to give
the people possession and control OF
their money, to treat it as a public
fund and not as the capital of the of
ficer- charged with its custody, and
not at all to deprive them of it's use
when it was needed. These ends can
be attained without subjecting any
city to annoyance or embarrassment
We doubt whether the new law is
fairly open to the objections that are
now being made against It.

guilty to drunk this morning in the
city court. Little was picturesque in
red flannel undershirt showing in

coat was missing. After he had been
fined 81 and costs Little informed the
court that he saw no reason why OFF,
Ger Little, who arrested him, should
have taken him TO jail without his
coat or why the officer had led him
down an alley and threatened to club
aim. or why another police officer had
followed in the wake and constantly
accused him of other offenses

As Soon as Hearing at Chica-

Up the Contention Between
Richmond and Traction Co.
LANDIS SUGGESTED, BUT
ANDERSON is PREFERRED
City Attorney Study Is Conf
dent the City Will Win the
Point That Is Has Right to
Prohibit Operation of Cars.

City Attorney T. j. Study is of the
opinion that the case of the Terre
Haute. Indianapolis & Eastern trac-
tion company against the city of Rich
mond to permanently enjoin the city
from enforcing all ordinance declaring
it TO be illegal to operate traction cars
on Main street from Eighth street east
will be heard by Judge Anderson of
the United States district court at In
dianapolis as soon as the hearing Of
the John r. Walsh case at Chicago is
concluded.
The hearing of this case Of national
interest is before Judge Anderson. Mr..
Study thinks that all of the evidence
in the Walsh case will be in within a
weeks time and that it will take Judge
Anderson but little time to reach a
decision. After that" said Mr.. Stu
dy. Il think Judge Anderson will be
ready to hear the case of the Terre
Haute, indianapolis < Eastern against
the city of Richmond.
Does Not Want Lands.
1t has been suggested that the city ask
to have the case heard before Judge
Lands of the United States district
court at Chicago. but Mr.. Study pre-
fers to have the case heard by Judge
Anderson. Mr. Study states that
Judge Anderson is better acquainted
with the case in question than Judge
Landis and that consequently he would
be able TO give it more intelligent con-
sideration.
Mr.. Study regards Judge Anderson
as one of the most brilliant jUrists in
the state and he is greatly pleased be
cause the traction company brought
this suit in Judge Anderson's court
Judge Fox is also a great adnirer of
Judge Anderson. 1t is thought the
hearing of the traction case will be
made before Judge Anderson within
the next two or three weeks and Mr.
Study is confident that Judge Anderson
will rule that the city has legal right
to PROHIBIT the operation OF traction
cars over any street in the city. Mr..
Study says that the city's case is eS-
pecially strong by reason of the fact
that the traction company has no fran
chise TO operate fractions cars on Main
street.
