By decision handed down by the Su-
preme Court yesterday there will be a
change in the manner of assessing bank
stock. The Court holds that the stock
must be assessed at its true or market
value, deducting the real estate and such
other items as the law allows. The prac-
tice heretofore has been to assess the
stock on the capital, surplus and undivid-
ed profits, deducting real estate and all
non taxable securities.

A railroad train is good place to study
human nature. A passenger-too often a
lady-will take seat and calmly place q
suit case beside her. No matter how many
passengers get into the train and walk
along the aisle looking for seat. the pas
senger with two seats on one ticket is alb
solutely oblivious to the other. When
the train Is filed and there is but the one
seat that may be occupied request to re.
move the suit case brings the owner to a
sudden awakening and she takes it away
and allows the other passenger to climb
over her to the vacant seat. This was
noticed twice last week on train between
Mount Holly and Philadelphia and In each
case the person who occupied two seats
was one from whom, because of social
position and bringing up, better things
could have been expected.

come up on its merits. While 1t may
have been all right to put distractions In

ahead with the discussion. That would

DEMOCRATS or THE HOUSE AND
SENATE WILL HOLD JOINT
CAUCUS.
EMPLOYERS BILL PASSED
All Firms Employing Five or More
Shall Be Liable 20 Respond In
Damages to Persons Suffering
Injury While at Work

Indianapolis The Democrats OF
the house and senate will hold a Joint
caucus this week on general legisla-
tive matters, but the main topic for
discussion is the legislative reappor-
tionment There is growing senu-
ment among Democrats that the pres
ent apportionment is good enough and
there may be a move started TO avoid
any new arrangement. Several other
important matters also will come up
Tor discussion at the caucus.
The senate committee OF revision OF
the constitution held an open meeting
10 hear objections 10 the bill for new
state constitution Several Republicans
appeared and argued against the bill.
Former Governors Hanly and Durbin
have given out statements denouncing
Governor Marshall for proposing a
new constitution in this manner.
An entirely new employers liability
bin passed the senate unanimously.
The bill was the result Of caucus of
the Democratic members OF the up
per house. The new bill will be known
as the Beal Shively measure, and is
the result OF the consolidation of the
two bills introduced by Senators
Shively Of Marion and Beal OF Terre
Haute
The new measure provides that all
firms employing five or more persons
shall be liable to respond in damages
10 any person suffering injury while
In the employ Of such firm. and in
case OF death the liability OF the en-
ployer shall survive 70 the deceased's
personal representative. for the bene-
III OF surviving widow or husband and
children. or 10 parents or TO the next
OF kin dependent upon the deceased.
The bill does away with the as
sumption Of risk and contributory
negligence. placing the burden of this
proof on the defendant in all actions
brought under the provisions OF the
bill. Early in the session Senator
Beal introduced a measure similar in
character. Later Senator Clark Of In
dianapolis introduced a bill embracing
a fellow servant provision, but this
bill has been Withdrawn.
