that we hold separate closed meetangsd
this afternoon
CONTESTS PRINCIPAL
CONVERSATION TOPIC.
The motion was carried by d unanas /
nous vote.
Candidates for secretaryBhipSs eSerk-
ships and doorkeeper positions were nu-
merous, but members of the Assembly
appeared to give the subject little con-
sideration. There was no talk In the
lobbies about proposed legislation. II.
was all about the contests in the two
Houses.
In opening the meeting, Mr.. Branch
pointed out the responsibility which rests
on the shoulders of the party and de-
\clared that a true victory will be the con-
fdence of the people Of the State in the
party after the Assembly adjourns. He
pointed out that Democrats are declaring
the Republican majority Is unwieldy and
that split is sure to come, but he de-
clared his confidence that this would not
happen.
Mr.. Wasmuth told the members of the
assembly that the people are not in
favor of great deal Of legislation but
that they desire a few Laws carefully
worked out. Still talking on the sub
ject of harmony, he said mistakes which
will inevitably be made win soon be
forgotten If harmony prevails He asked
that when leaders are elected in the
two Houses the members forget their
differences and get behind them.
Senator Duncan spoke briefly about
the work of the legislative visiting com
mittee.
"TAe requirements of State insttu-
lions will be larger than they have been
IL the past because expenses have in
creased as they have everywhere else, -
ne said.
APPROPRIATION BILL
TO BE READY.
He said the committee hoped to have
the appropriation bill ready to present
during the first few days of the session
and that It will endeavor to have its
report on the desks of the members some
time in the first week. He said he hopes
the ways and means committee Of tbs
house and the finance committee Of the
Senate would get together before The
presentation of the bill. so that action
could be harmonious.
One Of the features Of the meeting
was the presence Of Mrs. Julia D. Mel
son of Muncie, the first woman member
Of the Indiana Legislature. She was
given an ovation when she answered roll
call
At the afternoon meetings Senator An
drew II. Beardsley CT Elkhart, expected
to present to members OF the Assembly
proposals for changes in the rules OF
both houses. The proposed changes are
set out as follows;
l. That each bill introduced shall
be accompanied by brief explaining
the reason for its introduction and
what is hoped to be accomplished, if
enacted into law.
2. ANY bill that proposes to amend
an existing statute must show the
changes in the present law by hav-
ing the new matter and the words
deleted from the old law so written
or printed that the changes viii be
apparent without looking up the
statute TO be amended and comparing
II with the bill.
8. That no bill shall be introduced
after the first thirty days without -
the consent Of three-Quarters of the
House in which it is introduced.
4. That all bills introduced shall be
printed or mimeographed at once so
that all who may wish may be sup
piled with copies

SEVERAL REASONS
FOE CONDITION.

There are several reasons for this.
First. many members of the as
sembly do not take kindly TO what
they believe 70 be another attempt
at administration control.
Second. the thirty eight members Of
the House who have been members
at previous sessions are objecting to
the election OF newcomer to the
Speakership.
Third, many members believe that
the election OF Mr.. Mcclure would
tend to bring about too much domi-
nation by public utility corporations.
Mr.. Mcclure formerly was a membe
OF the Indiana railroad commission and 8
member of the public service COMM ssiOn
and he has never been known as al
enemy Of public utilities.
In the Senate there is another fight
but It does not seem to be taking OF
such alarming proportions and the con
sequences probably will not be so far
reaching. This hght is for the posi-
tioa of president pro ten.
Three candidates are In the field Sen
ator Oscar Rats Of PaoIi. Senator James
Nejdl of Lake County and Senator Don
Strobe of Kokomo. Senator Rats and
Senator Nejdl ale looked upon as the
leaders. with Senator Strobe running q
fair third. Senator NeJdls chances seen
10 be improving, althugh Senator Rats
appears still to be strong.
All of thees thiags were expected to
be discussed at the two closed meetings
in the afternoon. The motion calling for
the holding of closed meetings waS made
by Senator Nejdl, who is actively cam
paigning for the position of president
pro TEN.
This Is practically a public meet
ing" he said. There are things that we
all want to talk about In private. l move

GOODRICH MAN.

On the other hand. Mr.. Mlltenberger
is known as Goodrich candidate, al
though his followers are not advancing
him as such. At the same time they
ore laying no claims to being McCray' 5
choice. In fact, one OF the leaders OF the
Miltenberger faction declared that 1--WE
don't know exactly where McCray stanos
but we are not particularly anxious to
have him on our side"
The meeting was largely engineered
by Mr. McCray and Mr.. Branch II was
significant that Governor Goodrich was
hot present and SO far as could be de-
termined he was not invited.
Now. as 10 the relative strength Of the
two candidates for the spea kership: 1t
can be summed up in the expression OF
the two candidates. Mr.. Mcclure said
he was hopeful and Mr.. Miltenberger
said he WAS confident"

curtail expenditures elsewhere. We must
realize that the taxpayers interest must
be served. This is no time for a program
of increased taxation"
In closing he said: 1--WE must work
for the best interests of the party and
the people. We must do our best to
hold the Republican party intact"
SAME FEAR OVER
ENTIRE ASSEMBLY.
Over the entire assembly there seemed
to be the same fear implied in the Gov
ernor- elects closing statement.
In commenting on this feeling Mr..
Branch said: II don't believe there IS
going to be a split. We are going to be
big enough to stick together II we stick
together we viii be in power for the next
twenty five years. II we split We will go
out Of power next year"
Mr.. Wasmuth said: Il have the deep
est desire for harmony. We can accom-
plish results only with harmonious action.
If there is a lack of harmony and action
Is prevented the responsibility will rest
on the party"
Senator Estes Duncan. who addressed
the meeting on the work of the legisla-
tive visiting committee, said; Let us
forget ourselves for a little while and
work together for the principles of the
party"
1t takes only a little mingling with
the members of the Legislature to I'M
derstand why the fear of party split
is SO pronounced in the minds Of the
leaders.
In the first place there is fight on
for the SpeakerShip of the House. This
fight has taken on enormous proper
tions and threatens to split the lower
body asunder at the very beginning.
In fact, many Republican members are
openly admitting that a split is newt

MILTENBERGER
AGAINST MCCLURE.

The contending factions-and they
have come to the point where they can
be termed nothing eise-are lined up on
one side for John F. Mcclure Of Ander-
son, and on the other for Jacob u. NIL
tenberger OF Muncie. The other candi-
dates can be eliminated as having no
appreciRble strength.
Events have taken such 4 turn that
the fight is more important than a con-
test merely between two members OF the
House 1t is looked upon as contest
between one Of the factions OF the Leg
islature and the Governor elect. This Is
frankly admitted by many.
Mr.. Mcclure is lolIed upon as Mr.. Nc
Cray's choice for the speakership. Mr..
McCray has said nothing himself and
some take that as a hopeful sign, but
there are many evidences that he Is just
as strongly expressing his choice.
Mr.. McClure's campaign is being con-
Quoted with the assistance and under
the leadership Of Lawrence Lyons, who
was Mr.. McCray's campaign manager.
Mr. Lyons was present In the Hobbies
prior to the meeting and talked to many
members Of the House.
Edward G. Toner Of Anderson, unsuc-
cessful candidate for the Republican nom
lnation for the goyernorship, also is
active IN his behalf and was busily
lobbying"

plan II would have assessed property at
less than Its true cash value. so II chose

More Of the tax rates were finally de
termined until all the horizontal raises
had been added. II no raises had been
made and the State board had lowered
It's assessments the State leyies would
all have been much higher.
"On account Of the failure of tho local
assessing officers to assess all property
at its fun true cash value inequalities
existed and the only method the State
board had to equalize these inequalities
was by making horizontal raises so as
to bring the aggregate OF the other prop
erty to the basis OF property assessed
by H.
Injury results to the taxpayer from
an unequal original valuation. The hori-
zont'A raises did not create the Unequal

WHY RELIEF is
NOT GRANTED.

90 invoke the remedy provided by the
Johnson home rule bill, or the ineoricacy
Of the remedy therein provided, may lie
the reason why proper relief was not
granted"
Ia speaking ot the horizontal increases
declared Illegal by A decision OF the SUI
premc Conrt, the statement says:
The principle OF horizontal raises is
not now. II has been the law since 1891
ard. was the law prior TO that. Every
law. IN order to secure proper equali-
zatiou between counties should provide
that this authority be exercised by the
various boards charged with the duty
Of equaliEing assessments.
The special commission Of 1915 rec
0nmends that the State board be en-.
powered 10 order a horizontal increase
or decrease OF the assessment Of any
municipality OF the state
"One OF the main reasons why the old
law failed was In this that the State
board did not exercise tho power given
by statute Of applying horizontal raises.
u ls only as result Of properly app
lag horizontal raises that inequalities in
assessments became apparent.
THE effects Of the horizontal raises
seem not TO bc fun understood. and for
That reason the following Is presented 4:
There were two courses open 20 the
state board when II considered the qucs
ton Of equalization Reduce the valu-
alton placed by II on railroads, telegraph
and telephone companies, banks, trust
companies and public utilities, amount

however. that service in the army
ruined the athletes among the arms

The major league ball players failed
to show any evil effects of their SER
vice. Grover Alexander. the pitchin g

less effective but only slightly. Hank

and his teammate Walter Maranville
PLAYED about the same calibre of bali
last season after n year away in the
uniform.
No Telling About Football
Football players are hard to deal
with in concrete cases as practically
every player on the gridiron did his
bit in the army or navy. Without con-
sidering the cause, there were more
injuries. more men laid up with mis-
haps last fall than in any recent year.
Coach Al Sharp, of Yale, was of the
opinion that either the army detracted
from the vitality of a man or put so
much punch and aggressiveness in the
players that nothing human could re-
sist their assault.
Track men did not suffer. In fact,
training that they received as a part
of their military education seemed to
make a number of notables and i'm
prove some Of the old stars. Bob Simp-
son, in the hurdles. Sol Butler, in the
jumps, and Charley Paddock in the
sprints didn't lose any form and Nor
man Ross seems to have learned lots of
swimming things during his time
across the water.
Few Fighters Saw Service
Fighters are hard to judge because
SO few of them heard the call of duty. |
Mike O'Dowd, the middleweight cham |
