tablished, the dominating party gives the people
just about what it's leaders think they must have
to keep them from rising in revolt and electing
the other party into power.
The pickering that is now going on is a sad
commentary on the political condition of this
country. We wonder what would happen if a
discussion Of the greatest amount of good legisla
ton that possibly could be given the people Of In
diana would take the place of the scrap proceed
ing the meeting Of the legislature.
It is pretty sure guess that the people
would hardly believe what they read. They
could not grasp the wonderful change that had
taken place. And yet, in reality, is that not the
important thing that ought to engross the at
tention of the leaders nsead of the fighting about
committee control and house domination. But
why expect the impossible?

Controlling the Legislature

For the last four weeks there has been con-
derable discussion regarding the control of the
indiana legislature. Both Republicans and Dem
>crats claim they have the advantage.
Who cares what party controls the legisla-
.ure? The people Of Indiana want wholesome
egslaton enacted. They believe a legislature
vas established to make laws. They cannot see
Why political leaders are fussing and scrapping
lbout control of the House and Senate as if that
we're of primary Importance.
The very fact that Republicans and Demo
rats are fighting about the control of the Gen.
eral Assembly proves that you cannot expect
much from that body. A legislature has degen-
Grated into political game in which political
eaders jockey for advantage. The rights and
interests of the people are secondary considera-
lions. After political supremacy has been es-

Municipal Playground

Glen Miller park is ideally situated for pub
lie recreation ground. During the winter months
the hills offer splendid opportunity for coastine
and sleighing. With the expenditure Of a few
dollars the city authorities could arrange num-
Der of courses where children and adults could
enjoy fine winter sport. The city engineer
could lay off the courses and obstacles could be
removed with little expense.
Last spring when there was an agitation for
baseball diamonds in the park, the board of pub
lie works ruled that the beauty of the park
would be destroyed by the introduction of rec
reation features
This opinion is too narrow to square with
modern municipal ideas. Parks are for the peo-
ple Baseball diamonds and lawn tennis courts
offer sources Of pleasure to the people, and their
presence will not initiate against the usefulness
of the park but will increase it's advantages.
So also with courses for sleighing and coast
ing. Let the hundreds of people who enjoy this
sport make use of the splendid opportunities in
the park. Let the city officials investigate park
management in the big cities and in other cities
of the size of Richmond. They will soon be con-
WINGED that Richmond is behind the times in this
respect.
