A Legislative Blunder Remedled

Trenton, May 10. I9I5--To prove its
utter incompetence the Legislature re-
tured to the State Capitol Monday of
last week and consumed ten hours in
passing a bill which should have been
passed in a valid and legal manner at
the regular st ssion of the body.
The actions of the Republican ma
jority at the regular session were such
as to gain for the members of that
body the characterization as ''the head
less herd" They lived up to this name
at the special session.
When Governor Fielder found that
the law passed at the regular session
and providing for a constitutional cleo
ton was unavoidable he Immediately
instructed Attorney General John w.
Wescott to draft a new bill SO that il
could be sent Immediately to the mem
bers and they could be acquainted with
its provisions when the time comes to
adopt it.
Every member of the Legislature had
been provided with copy of the bill but
when they came to Trenton. The Re-
publicans were afraid that the Demo-
Gratis would get the credit for straight
ening out the tangle and Senator VIM.
T. Read, of Camden, the majority
leader of the Senate, announced that the
Republicans would have nothing to do
with the bill drawn by the Democratic
Governor and Democratic Attorney
General. Senator Read and Senator
Rathbun then proceeded to draw a new
bill, one that would bring the proper
credit to the G. o. P. for clearing up
Its own mess.
These Senators drew a bill and the
Senate passed it. The Democratic
members of the Senate pleaded with the
Republicans TO accept the Attorney
Generals bill because it was carefully
drawn while the Read-Rathbun meas
ure had been hurriedly put together.
But, no. that would not be good poll
tics. The Republicans had made the
blunder and they should be allowed to
clear it up.
The House, however, refused to have
anything to do with the Read. Rathbun
measure, because on its face it was
invalid. For ten hours the members
of the TWO houses sat around waiting
for a bill that would give The credit to
the Republicans, but non of the men,
bers of that party seemed able to put a
bill together that would hold water.
Finally in desperation the Republi-
cans took the Attorney Generals bill,
made a few minor amendments to it
a Republican bill. This was the meas
ure that was passed.
The majority members were disgust
ed with the whole proposition. Their
frame of mind finally became such that
they hardly spoke to each other. Sell
ator Read blamed Senator Rathbun.
Tie letter said he was being unfairly
charged with the responsibility. The
two members got bitter toward each
other. When the session finally ad-
jOurned the members of the Republi-
eau party were not ven on good terms
with themselves.
One of the Republican members re-
viewed the regular session and the
special session III this way:
sit has been disgusting. 1 saw in
the beginning how things were going
and I decided not to take an active
part. The Republicans have net even
kept faith with themselves, let alone
the people of the State. They have not
been honest with the people who sen
them there and they will have TO suffer
the consequences

Inspections in the larger Cities"
says the Indiana Fire Marshal, show
that about 10 per cent of all buildings

are being endangered by rubbish.

The Fire Marshal is advising every

"Paint not only makes shingles more

it acts as q fire preventative as well.
By covering and protecting the fuzzy
splinters that form on the outer sur
