DEMOCRATS PRAISE
TAGGART'S STAND
Governor Lauds Committee
mans Refusal to Run
For Office.

INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. 6.-Demo.
Gratis today are reviewing with a sense
of satisfaction the extreme laudation
given National Committeeman Tag
gart at the thirty-third annual ban
quet of the Indiana Democratic Edi-
torial association here last night.
He was praised for his qualities OF
leadership and for his unselfishness
in putting aside aspirations to be a
candidate for high office. If there is
an element of discord between Sena-
tor Shively and Taggart, it was not in
evidence last night, and it is said
here today that the way seemingly
has been cleared to return Shively to
the United States senate.
Not the least of the praises heaped
upon Taggart came from Governor
Ralston, who not only attributed Dem
ocratic success to the editors, but did
not forget to mention Taggart in terms
that were unmistakeable. The COVER
nor's reference to Taggart's refusal to
run for Office, was greeted with ac-

MURRAY CONVICTED
OF SHORT WEIGHING
New Paris Man Fined $40
and Costs By Mayor
Robbins.

The frst arrest made by George Nc
Kinley, the new sealer of weights and
measures, resulted in the conviction
of Henry Murray, of New Paris. O.,
charged with selling butter under
weight to the Home for Friendless
Women. Mayor Robbins fined Muir
ray $40 and costs. Attorney Byram
Robbins, for the defense, fled an ap-
peal to the circuit court.
Murray was arrested Monday by In.
spector Mckinley, after he had weigh
ed a quantity of butter, purported to
weigh eight pounds, and found it to
tip the scale at seven and one-hali
pounds.
Mrs. Thomas, matron Of the home,
testified she had noticed that the but
ter varied in weight, and had report
ed it to the board of lady managers,
who instructed her to take action if
it occurred again.
A week ago last Saturday Mrs.
Thomas said she had the butter
weighed. and found the crock to con-
tain but six and one-fourth pounds,
shortage of one and three-fourth
pounds. She called the attention of
Inspector Mckinley, which resulted
in the filing of the charge.
Although this is the first arrest
made by the weights and measures
inspector, it is understood that
number of cases are under surveil-
lance Of IQzpsctor Mckinley.

"We're Not Seeking Pensions,''
Say PostoHice EMPLOYEES Here
Lawrence Handley, Superin-
tendent of Mails, Says That
Hamill Bill Is "ROt."

''The Hamill Bill to retire civil SER
vice employees is all nonsense It's as
foolish bill as the teachers pension
bill of last year. The time is not ripe
for that kind of legislation
This was the statement Of Lawrence
Handley, superintendent of mails at
the post office, when interviewed to-
day as to the local feeling on the pen
sion bill which is before the house
committee on civil service betterment
Under the provisions of the bill,
eight able-bodied men could be retired
Six Of them on pensions OF $500 annu-
ally or more.
Sarah Moorman, the stamp clerk
has been in the post office service for
thirty years. The Hamill bill provides
that all civil service employees Of all
departments of the government be
pensioned, if they desire, at the close
of twenty years service at forty per
cent of the salary they received in
active service. This holds for employees
up to twenty-five years in the service.
From twenty-five to thirty years Of
service, employees would receive forty
five per cent of his salary; from thir-
ty to forty years they would receive
half of the salary for the remainder Of
life
Retire After Forty Years.
At forty years of service, the bill
would automatically retire employees
OF the civil service, unless they volun-
tarily retire sooner.
William II. Hansche, John f. Don
lin, William B. Arnold, Emil Steen, Ed
gar A. Dickinson have been in the
service for about twenty-five years and
would come under the forty-five per
cent salary retirement.
Lawrence Handley, John Mag and
John Lott have been in the service
twenty years and under the privsions
of Hamill's bill could retire at forty
per cent Of their present salary
The local clerks and carriers asso-
Citations are not in favor Of the pas
sage of such a bill as the Hamill bill
but would advocate a bill providing
For the pensioning Of employees of the
civil service at the age Of seventy
years, regardless of the previous
length of service.
The post office employees fear that
the public would deride them or at
least would cause persons to entertain
i'll feeling against them, should they
advocate such a bill.
Because We are fortunate enough to
be working for the government, does
not make us favor a bill, like that

At this time the class is making pre-

Cottingham are urging the students in
the class to plant vegetable and flow

may observe the results after school

Owing to the fact that school is
closed the early part of June, the ac-

AS soon as the weather permits, the
class will be taken to the Elks' ground

soil for planting. The early planting
will consist of early blooming flowers

will visit the garden plot to watch it's

Arrangements for procuring of seed
to be planted have not been complet-

apply to Congressman Gray, thereby
receiving seed which has been tested

will not experience much difficulty in
the selection of proper seed to use in
the experiments
