banded together solidly is of itself a
bred. They have entered into a solemn
compact to stand together on all mat
tiers affecting their interests. Whether
they will go farther and undertake to
use their power on other legislation is
not yet known
May Sell state House.
The proposition for the sale of the
present state house to Marion county
for court house is taking on esri-
GUS aspect The bill will be introduced
In few days by Representative Crav-
ems. 1t will probably provide for the
creation of commission authorized to
condemn the ground in the two squares
directly north of University park so 1t
may be acquired by the state. 1t will
provide also for the sale of the present
state house property to Marion county.
and 1t will appropriate s5.00o.000 with
which to start the state house project.
The commission will be authorized by
the bill to such portion of this So
100000 as 1t may need to acquire the
ground. and Cravens says that the re-
mainder of this money, together with
what Marion county pays for the state
houes property, will go long way to-
ward the erection of the state house
and other buildings which would be
erected on the new site.
Treat For Lawmakers.
All of the members of the House
and Senate were provided, yesterday
with free tickets to one of the local
theaters for a performance this week
Next week they are to receive free
tickets to one of the other theaters, and
the next week to some other theater
and SO on until they have made the
rounds of all of the theaters in town.
The fact is that the Indianapolis
theater managers want a law passed
that will enable them to give Sunday
performances, and these free tickets
are for the purpose of cultivating
friendly relations with the members SO
as to make the shedding as easy as
possible for the bill.
The picture show managers associa-
tion also is on the ground with two
lobbyists, and they are planning the
Introduction of bill to permit them to
keep their shows open on Sundays.
New Constitution Seems Assured.
1t looks like Indiana is bound to
have. a new constitution Democrats.
Republicans and Bull Moosers have all
introduced bills for the calling of a
constitutional convention for the pur-
pose of revising the present constitu-
ton or making a new constitution.
This makes it practically certain that
one bill will go. through. and 1t will
probably be the Democratic bill.

preparations for the state schools.
