was pronounced a clean cut, able pa
per that showed great force of char
acter in the governor.
II was admitted last night, how
ever, that the governor recomme nded
h good many things in his message
that he will not get. He asked for
authority for the governor to remove
without cause, any appointive officer
of the state when that officer has
failed in his duty, and for power to
remove any elective officer for the
same reason, the right to appeal to
tho supreme court being reserved. He
will not get any such law. 1t is said.
It is pointed out that this would be
placing zoo much power in the hands
of the governor Neither is he likely
to get the appointment of a non-par-
tisan expert to make an examination
OF all the state offices. The present
state officials are republicans and the
senate, which is republican body.
will not be likely to lend it's aid to
such q plan when it will be only put
ting political capital in the hands of
Governor Marshall.
ECONOMY" Makes Hit.
These are only two of the things
that 1t is believed the new governor
will not get. There are many others.
But 1t Is known that he has recon-
mended some things that will have
the support of many republicans,
prominent among the subjects being
riga economy in managing the states
business. This part of the message
made hit.
Today the bills began to fall into
the legislative hopper. 1t was the
first day for the call for bills in the
two houses, and it looked like every
member was going to do his best to
swamp the session with pet bills. Tn
der the rules member may introduce
not more than two bills at any one
call. This was rather tough on Rep
resentative Behymer. of Elwood. be
cause he has eight bills in his pocket
that he wishes to introduce and he
only got two OF them in today.
Police Law Repeal Bill.
Senator Mccullough, of Anderson
oaid that he would introduce his bill
for the repeal Of the Metropolitan pc
lice law at today's session and that HI
will push 1t through as rapidly a.
possible. 1t was Mccullough who go
through the same bill two years agt
that was vetoed by Governor Hanly
This time he says it win stick. fol
Governor Marshall recommended tn.
repeal in his message.
There will also be bill introduced
by Senator Clark of Marion county TO
the registration of voters. 1t will
provide for a complete registration
system. Senator Clark says one o
the things that caused him to prepar'
the bill was the election conditions
that exist in Lake and st. JOSEPH
counties and in Marion county as well
where. he says. hundreds of foreign
ers are voted at every election VIII
have no right to vote. He insist
that his registration plan will cur
this evil.
Bland's Liability eill.
Senator Bland is expected to intro
duce his employers liability bill toda
in the senate. 1t will be modelled t
suit the decision of the supreme cour
which declared unconstitutional tn,
employers liability bill passed tw
years ago
Another bill that viii be introduce
within the next day or two will be tn
one by Representative Brolley to Il
galize Sunday base ball. 1t is belle,
ed this bill will pass. but whethe
Governor Marshall will sign it is al
other question. Brolley says he ha
the bill about ready.
a bill to repeal the county local o,
ton law win be introduced at an earl
date, and it may so in today. Thi
bill may pass, but it is going to hav
some tough shedding.
