The school this year was patronized
largely by men who had lost the OPP
portunity to secure an education in
their youth and who Joined the night

mentary courses, such as reading
writing, language and arithmetic. Many
of the mwere also foreigners. who took
this chance to learn the English Ian

REVENUE COMES IS
THROUGH BIG CITIES
Under Old Law Fee Was Not Col
lected in Many Cases-Reason for
This Is Explained in the Fact That
Money Did Not Go Into Pockets of
the County Clerks.

Indianapolis, Ind. April %. The
counties of the state, especially those
counties in which large cities are sit
uated. will profit to the extent of about
$4,000 through the increase in the fee
charged BY the county clerk for issuing
a certificate to agents of foreign insur-
ance companies. BY foreign insurance
companies are meant companies out
side Of the state of Indiana that do
business in this state.
Formerly the fee for issuing this GER
tifcate was fixed by law at rs cents.
and even this small sum was not col
lected in many of the counties. But
the last legislature amended that law
by making the certificate fee so cents
instead of 25 cents The law has al
ways provided that the fees collected
shall go into the country treasury.
The reason the county clerks did
not know about this 25-cent fee law
was that the money did not go into
their pockets" said Cyrus w Neal
head of the state insurance depart
ment
There are more than 1900 agents
of foreign insurance companies in the
state and they will have to pay the 80
cent fee This will amount to some
thing especially in the counties with
big cities like Hammond. Fort Wayne.
South Bend Richmond and other places
where there ire many agents.
! Some of the outside companies have
| been kicking against the increase In
/ the fee. They say they had no chance
+ to register their agents before the new
/ law took effect. but Neal says they
were all notified of the change in plen-
/ ty of time to have registered if they
had not neglected to do so.

WANTS WORKING BASIS
Will Ask Next Assembly
to Enact Law for
Purpose.
is At SEA FOR FIGURES
Corporations, Especially Railroads,
Fight Assessments on Vari-
Gus Grounds.
TIMES BUREAU,
AT STATE CAPITAL.

Indianapolis, Ind, April 2s. - The
state tax board has had so much
trouble for years in finding some basis
on which to make assessments of cor
porations for taxation that it has de-
cided to ask the next session of the
legislature to pass a law fixing the
plan upon which such valuations shall
be made. When railroad representa-
tfves appear before the board to argue
for a reduction in the assessment of the
companies they base their plea on var
ious grounds, to fit the situation of the
particular company. Some of them in
sfst that the valuations should be based
on the physical valuation of the prop
erty. others on the earning power. 9TH
ers on the mileage of the company. and
still others on the capitalization and
bond issue.
1t has always been difficult for the
board to determine the basis on which
to work as the same old questions arise
year after year. Now the board be-
Iieves the legislature should pass a
law fixing the method of arriving at
valuations, so as to relieve the board
of the repeated long wrangles with the
attorneys for the corporations. and
such a bin will be prepared for in
PRODUCTION at the next session.

GARGOYLE, PYGMY AND TYRANT
These Some of Epithets Hurled by
Speaker-Practically Closes Be-
fore He Is snagged.

The House by a vote OF 126 to IS
took Representative William Willett,
Jr, Of New York off his feet the other
day on point of order that he was
villifying the President of the United
States. Willett was attacking Roose-
welt fiercely. The House refused to
allow him to proceed.
His theme was "The Passing of
Roosevelt" though he at no time men
toned the President by name. Among
his more picturesque designations for
the Chief Magistrate were: "Gar-
goyle," ''tyrant,' 'pigmy,' descendant
of Dutch trades people," "hay-tedder,"
foundation of Billingsgate," "imita-
ton of king and bogus hero" The
effort was Mr.. Willett's second broad
side aimed at the President.
Mr.. Willett was ruled out of order
and forced to take his seat upon a
point of order made by Representative
Gardner of Massachusetts, when he de-
clared that the President had DETAINED
the character of Admiral Schley in
connection with the battle of Santiago.
A vote was taken by the House wheth-
er the speech should proceed and Mr..
Willett lost by a vote of 1875 to 78.

citation for what America had done
for Italy in sympathy and relief for
those who had suffered in the earth
quake. The Italian people would new
er forget the unanimous manifestation
Of the American government and the
American nation down to the humblest
citizen. His Majesty alluded to the
energy and ability shown by Mr.. Girls

promptly sending succor to the spot.
