A law that will directly affect Dom n.

prohibits persons who have been con
victed OF eyading the selective service act,
attempting to defraud the Government or
Of seditious utterances, or of any other
crime against the United States, for
which sentence imposed exceeded si1
months, from holding any public Office.

enworth for election frauds
An emergency was declared to exist for
the immediate taking effect of the Bar
Eer administration amendments to the
1913 tax law and they are now IN force.
The amendments give the State tax board
appellate Jurisdiction over local bond
issues and tax levies.
Another law that is Of particular IN
terest to Indianapolis IS that which gives
the indianapolis sanitary board juris
dicti0n over the removal and disposal OF
garbage and sewage. 1t brings to an
end a difficulty that has been faced for
some time between the board Of works
and the sanitary board over which de-
: partment should have charge Of this
work.

terms Of the law which provides for re-
mOval Of the Indiana Reformatory and

penditure Of 100000 a year on the part
Of the State and which is effective now
is the Rats deputy sheriff bill. This law
gives sheriffs authority to hire any num-
Der Of deputies as aids in emergency
cases.
