a decided stand in favor Of the puri-

the state, yesterday afternoon, in a
speech which he made In the house. The
bill under consideration was the one
introduced by Representative McGin-

to dump sewage and refuse into the
streams and to use the streams for
sewers.
Stewart of Kokomo had made the
statement nat he considered factories
on the river banks a beautiful sight,
and that factories were more valuable
to a community h a clean river. This
reused Mickey and he too kthe floor.

TIMES BUREAU
AT STATE CAPITAL.

n Il IN AAs
Indianapolis. Ind, Feb. Powerful
influences are at work in the effort to
evolve a liquor bill, for the regulation
and control of the retail liquor traffic
that will meet the demands of all ele-
ments that are now lighting for and
against the local option proposition.
Whether or not this effort will sue
coed, of course, no one can tell, but
the influences are at work, and they
are influences that usually do things.
Nearly a dozen bills have been intro
duced In the legislature for the con-
troll Of the saloon. Some of them pro-
vide n thing and some another.
Some the control by one
method and others by some other meth
cd, but all seem to have the same pur-
pose in mind-the control of the traffic
in some way.
Republicans Keep Hands OF.
It is noticeable that not one of these
bills has been introduced by a repub-
lican member. The republicans hold
that their party have settled the liquor
question by the enactment of the coun-
ty local option law, and that there is
nothing more for them to do along this
line. The democrats, however, claim
to have a mission in this matter. and
that mission is to repeal the county
option law. Thus politics has entered
into the matter until 1t has come to be
considered a purely partisan question
with the democrats IN the one side and
the republicans on the other.
But this sentiment appear rapidly
to be giving way to a more conserva-
tive spirit and there are strong indica-
lions that the two sides are trying tc
get together on some middle ground
each giving a little and taking a little
Some of the bills have represented only
what the brewers and the liquor people
wish to see enacted. Others contain

nothing but the strictest kind of tenn
perance provisions. some so strict in
fact, that they would amount almost
to prohibition. Then there are some
others that take a freer view of the
question and seek to frame up some
really good legislation on the subject.
All seem to be imbued. however. with
the same thought. and that is to get
the liquor question out of politics.
May Effect a Compromise.
Therefore. it will not b surprising,
judging from what has been going on
within the last day or two. to see a
new move soon that will be a long step
in that direction.
So it need not be surprising of with
in the next day or two we near that
the various lighting elements of both
parties have come together on a plan
for a composite bill for the control Of
the liquor traffic that will met the de-
mands of all hands. It will, of course,
not be what any one element wishes.
but it will contain a portion of each
of the various bills that have been
offered. In other words, it will contain
what are considered the best and most
important features of all the bills.
Ills may nOl WIN OOLs Jul II Il
dications are that it will, and that very
soon. If it does work out it is said
the bill will afford common ground on
which all the parties may stand. 1t is
said that it will repeal the county To-
cal option law. but that it will repeal
it in such a way that the need for a
county option law will be removed en-
tirely. Just how this bit of necroman-

A Scheme Affecting RatIiG.
The cIoseness of the vote on the bill
to repeal county local option, if such
a vote comes up in the house, has
caused all eyes to focus on Represen-
tative Walter Ratliff, of Wayne our
ty, and Ratlif has been keeping his
own counsel as to how he will vote or
the question. Last night a quiet little
scheme was talked OF by which RatLf
was to be relieved of the unpleasant
duty of committing himself OF the
Question of repeal. For several days
he has absolutely refused to state his
position. Last night it was said thai
he would go home to Richmond today
to vote at the county option election
being held in Wayne county, and tina
while he is absent an effort will b'
made by the temperance forces to have
the report on the repeal bill brough'
before the house for a vote. These
forces claim to know positively tina
the favorable report cannot be adopted
without the vote Of Ratliff. and this Il
the reason why they propose to call |
out today during his absence. n it i
said that Ratliff's part in this schem'
is that he knows if this program Is fol
lowed and he is not forced to vote oil
the question he Will not be discredite'
among his constituents. no matte
which side he would vote with wer
here at the roll call.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1909-03-24
At the Cleveland memorial exercises, Mir. Taft made an address in which he said.

At the Cleveland memorial exercises, said:
 | We hear much in these days of the usurpation of the legislative jurisdic- | tfon by the executive branch. As long as the legislative branch has the pow Ter of the purse, the danger of execu- tive usurpation Is imaginative.
 The Pittsburg Post is somewhat sur prised at this language. "we cannot believe" 1t remarks, in commenting on it, MT. Taft was serious when he made that statement. Did not Congress hold the purse-strings during the admins tration of President Roosevelt? And did not President Roosevelt still en- croach considerably upon the preserves of Congress? Did not this encroach- ment extend almost to the very end of
 the final session of the Sixtieth Con- gress? What caused the ructions dur
 ing that session. if 1t was not the re-
 bellion of oAsress against MT. Roose-
 velt's unjustifiable interferenceT'
 The Post should bear in mind that the new President was walking on rather thin ice. He wanted to eulog- l ize MT. Cleveland, as 1t was right and proper for him to do, but at the same time he didn't want to say anything uncomplimentary about MT. Roosevelt, or his Congress, so he had to do some l
 1 hair-splitting. He could not afford to 1 say that the criminal waste of the past few years was due to Roosevelt's dom-
 ination of Congress. though we sus- pect that was about what he thought.
 Theoretically. the President was cor rect in his statement. The House of Representatives is supposed to hold the purse-strings of the government and has only itself to blame If 1t fails to do so. No President, it matters not how reckless and bullying he may be, can waste the public money if Congress refuses to appropriate 1t and carry out his wishes. The legislative branch of the government has "the power of the purse" in Its hands at all times if it has the courage and will to exercise that power. but If that body is too complaisant. too weak or too cowardly to hold the President in check 1t is easy for man like Roosevelt to make ducks and drakes of the public funds. So 1t is that MT. Taft was correct in theory and didn't wish to refer to re- cent practices

UNFAIR PRovrsIoNs.

The New York Herald has perth. ent comment on one feature of the Payne tarir blu. It says: Sugar from the Philippines. to the amount of three hundred thousand tons. is to come in free, and all beyond that Is to pay. In the last calendar year we im- ported more than five hundred thous- and tons from the Philippines. Is 1t to be first come first exempt?'
 That is a pertinent question, and suggests to The Hartford Times very forcibly that '"The same question may be asked concerning the three hundred tons of tobacco which 1t Is proposed to permit to come in from the Philip pines free of duty. Who Is to have the privilege of making this importa- tion? Why should one set of tobacco planters in the Philippines be granted this bounty while it is denied to oth- CTS? Such a law would seem to be to- tally impracticable. It is not at all unlikely that the supreme court or the United States would declare such discrimination unconstitutional and If the proposed section of the Payne bill is ever enacted it will, undoubtedly. be taken to the supreme court for ad- judication.'
 What the courts would do in any given case is of course not to be fore- told. but it is plain that such tarin provisions as those referred to should not be adopted. and if they are made part of the tariff schedule the courts ought to set them aside. Anything more unfair and inconsistent could hardly be suggested. Under that schedule a few large sugar planters in the Philippines could unite and get their three hundred thousand tons to America in advance of all the small producers. The combine would get it's products landed in this country free of duty while all the other producers would have to pay the tarin. and 1t would be the same with the tobacco products. It is hardly to be supposed that such a palpable and unfair dis crimination will find enough supporters to force 1t into the tarin bill that will be adopted, but no one can tell what will be done by the majority in Con- gress.

VISITING NEwspAprn MEN.

A score or more of the most distin- guished newspaper men in the South will visit Montgomery today to attend the meeting of the Southern Division of the Associated Press.
 The Advertiser and all of the people of Montgomery will give them welcome because all of us are proud of Mont- gomery and of Its material develop ment. No city of the South has achiev- ed more in recent years than Mont- somery. We are proud of these achievements. We are always glad to show off Montgomery. These men who are coming today are men of keen discernment. They will be pleased with Montgomery. The growth of Montgomery will be a revelation to them. many of whom have never visit ed Montgomery before.
 And so we express our welcome to the newspaper men. They will return to their homes with a finer conception of the modern Montgomery and our people will have a better idea of the splendid body of men who are making the newspapers of the South and heip- ing us to advance its material and moral interests.

President Taft on Cleveland.

New 1Ork Tlmes.
 President Taft honored himself as we'll as his distinguished predecessor In the candid and manly tribute he paid on Thursday to the memory of MT Cleveland. It Is the judgment of those who followed most closely the remark able career of Mir. Cleveland that his ideals his achievements. and his ser vices were essentially National There was nothing local, sectional, or in any uniting sense partisan in what he tried to do, in the principles by which he was guided.
 It was therefore entirely possible for a political opponent to recognize the true nature of the man and unreserved- Iy to praise his enduring work. This MT Taft did with fine discrimina tion, with fortunate appreciation. and with sincerity that was extremely win ming. Nor was it difficult to detect In his earnest. well -pondered words the note of aspiration. Certainly no ambi- tion would be more soundly directed than that which should seek the honor, after his work shall have been closed, of such a tribute from such source.
