sky bill passed by the Indiana house
and amended by the senate was again
approved by the house today with the
amendments put in by the upper

ors, places every possible legal safe
guard around innocent investors.
They declare it will make it extremely
difficult to sell fraudulent stocks in
this state
One or the emergency measures
which the assembly was called on to
consider came during the morning.
This was the home rule tax bill re-
storing to local units control over GER
tain tax levies and bond issues. The
bill passed by the house was brought
up in the senate and passed by a
vote Of 80 to 0 after the rules had
been suspended. Several amendments

from the local taxing units to the
state board shall be made to the cir
cult instead of to the state tax board,
as provided in the house bill.

In being nominated for president,
Warren G. Harding has passed be-
yond dreams of his youth. said
Charles Arrowsmith, owner Of a weld
ing establishment on South Ninth
street, a boybood companion of the
nominee.
Arrowsmith Is about the same age
as Harding. The two have been fast
friends since the days when Harding
was journeyman printer and Arrow
smith a machinist's helper. The
friendship continued when Hardin g
became owner of the Marion Star and
Arrowsmith foreman in a plow manu-
featuring concern in Marion. o.
Warren lever had presidential am
bitions," said Arrowsmith. HE grew
confidential one day when he was
about 25 years old and confiued to
me that he hoped to become United
States senator.
Enters Newspaper Game
Harding never had much time to
dream Of the future. He worked for
both the present and future, but con-
fined his dreams to slumber time.
Shortly after l knew him. in company
with two other men. he purchased the
Marion Star. This caused Harding to
forsake most pleasures young men of
his age enjoyed, for 1t was a hard
grind to put the star on its feet. Lat
er the other men sold out to Hard
ing"
Arrowsmfth says that Harding did
not have the ear1narks Of a genius or
president when he was a young man
He was always good mixer, liked
81
mistic.
Accidental loss Of money when he
was % years old caused Harding to
a law examination. He had
been studying and had a small sum to
tide him over when he hung out his
shingle. But the loss Of the money
caused Harding to 60 back to the
newspaper game.
Arrowsmith does not believe that a
great speaker must be born. He says
that at one time Harding would have
lost his head, turned red and fed had
he been urged to make speech
Later he decided to become a speech
maker. The results of his labors be
came know when he was taken into g
fraternal order. Harding was called
upon to make a talk and his efforts
knocked everyone cold.
Arrowsmith drifted away from Mar
ion and got out of touch with Harding
He came to Richmond about IS years
ago and has been here continuously
since then. He makes several trips
to Marion each year and never fails tc
call on Mrs. Harding.
incidentally he drops into the Star
office for a chat with some of his old
cronies. Arrowsmith explained that
