WANT NEW INDIANA
Tell Legislature This State Is
Behind Its Sisters in
Able Statutes.
(National News Association


INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 10-The
Indiana Progressive legislative COM
mittee, of which Oscar l.. Pond, In
dianapolis, is president and Edward r.
Lewis, indianapolis, secretary, today
issued the following open letter" to
the Indiana Legislature.
The present General Assembly
must satisfy many urgent demands of
the people. Those demands have not
been satisfied by Indifferent legisla-
lures of the past. Their failure to do
so has held the state bed-ridden while
her more modern sister states have
gone forward with every form of able
legislation in the great purpose of
making the people of their communi-
ties happier and better. Indiana
needs and must have of this legisla-
ture, direct primary law, good
roads law, advanced legislation for
cities. state and municipal civil serv-
ice, public utilities commission, an
Inheritance tax, blue sky law, mini
mum wage, free school books, voca-
tional education, a constitutional con-
vention to give equal suffrage, the
initiative, referendum and recall. All
these reforms are long overdue and
further delay in obtaining them will be
intolerabIe
What the People Want.
THE Progressive party in the last
campaign pledged itself to a platform
including all these and other reforms.
1t fought that platform out before the
people. 1t won it's fight for ideas if
not for candidates. The members of
the Progressive party will continue to
fight for that platform before the pres
ent legislature. They care not how
the laws are secured. They only care
that they be secured and that thy be
effective. In the present session, the
Progressives will aid all Democrats
and Republicans who desire to make
our state a modern and more just com
munity. 1t will be the purpose of the
Progressive committee to indorse and
support any bills introduced by Demo
Gratis or Republicans which adequately
carry out Progressive platform pledg
es. 1t will be their further purpose
when such bills are not introduced to
cover any plank, 10 see tudt proper
bills are prepared and introduced by
Progressive legislative subcommittee
and brought to the attention of the leg
islature. Bills covering every line OF
the platform will be introduced and
fought. The fight for their enactment
will be carried on as earnestly in com
mittee hearings and in the Press as II
the Progressive party were in full con
troll AS members of the Progressive
I Legislative committee, we are confid
ent that the Democratic leaders will
give the members of the new sub
+ committee in charge of our various
measures the recognition to which the
votes and the deep sentiment they
represent, entities them.
I'VE look forward to the present ses
sion as a splendid field of contest, te
make for us all a new Indiana. II

INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 1o.-Governor
Marshall today went on record against
the passage of a widows pension bill
by the legislature. Instead of sending a
special message OF the legislature he
gave out a long interview, advising
that Indiana go slow in passing leg
islation of this character for the rea-
son that it is still in the experimental
stage. The Indiana poor relief laws
are the best in the country. the gov
ernor declared, and under them there
is no danger of any homes being bro
ken up through poverty.
Rep. Sands of ST. Joseph county, has
widows pension bill ready for intro
duction.
Much controversy among charitable
organizations has arisen over this
measure. The board of state charities
has opposed it consistently, while
many prominent charity workers
throughout Indiana are advocating it's
passage. An organization known as
"Widow's Pension League" with head.
quarters in Chicago, is employing WON.
en- in Indiana to solicit members The
solicitors receive one-half of the mem
bership fee, the remainder being used
for carrying on the work of the or
ganization.
Governor Marshall declares that
many persons have wrongly interpret.
ed the statement that organized chari
ties would oppose such legislation for
selfish reasons. Indiana Board of State
Charities is non partisan, unpaid
board, and is the official board of the
state, being created by the legislature
Governor Marshall suggests that
persons coming from other states
! know nothing of conditions here and
do not appreciate the value of the laws
we have.
"Why should they seek to tell us
what to do? Are we not able to dea
with our own problems without gratui
tous advice?" said the governor
