that is likely to cause the dispute is
the extent of conrol that shall be ex
ercised by the state. The most salts
factory thing to those who are opposed
to the present management of the
board probably would be to have a law
by which the governor would appoint
! the delegates to the board meetings
The lesser degree of control and the
one it may be necessary to adopt
would be law that would in some
way regulate the kind of credentials a
man would have to have to sit in the
board meetings.
Object To Delegates.
The opposition to the present man
agement of the board comes largely
from the lavish manner in which dele.
gates have been admitted to board
meetings. 1t is said there is no OBJ.
lection to the representation of bona
fide farmers organizations but when
the membership is increased by admit
ting Indianapolis politicians the situa.
ton is not so satisfactory.
The willingness of the present man
agement of the board to accept some
kind of state control as long as it is
not too strenuous" is due to the fact
that the board must have state aid to
pull it out of financial hole. The
board has an indebtness of about $780,
600 and the only means it has of can
ceiling this indebtness is the annual
state fair. The state fair will not do
the work.
OF course the board has valuable

F., state food and drug commissioner;
Alldredge-Primary election bill.
In the house the following measures
thus far introduced stand out: Coop
cr-Fixing life Imprisonment for con-
yiction on robbery charge where the
| defendant carried dangerous weap-
| ons; Rowbottom-To raise the salar-
les of coroners: Karman-To repeal
act controlling state board of examin-

| Prescribing a method for taxation

! ries-Granting life licenses to teach
! ers who have taught ten years and
who have had average scholarship
! grades of not less than ninety per
cent; Rowbottom-Making Nov. 18th

| Boxing Commission.
One measure that is likely to cause
more fireworks than most any other
| is the one providing for a boxing COM
mission. This proposal is backed by
| the American Legion. Heretofore
there have been many efforts to get
such a meature through the legisla-
ture. but they have always failed.
, This time however, with the backing
of the Legion the story may be differ
| ent. The bill which will be backed by
| the legion would carry drastic restric-
! tions as to ages of persons permitted
to take part in boxing contests or to
attend them. 1t would even prohibit
smoking at a boxing contest. But
nevertheless it would legalize boxing.
| Already there are a number of men
who think they could be of excellent
| service as members of the proposed
boxing commission. Were it not for
! the backing the proposal has, it is
probable that the churches already
| would have been arrayed in opposi-
ton. But up to this time there is no
intimation as to how strong the
opposition will be.

to be celebrated by members of st
Andrews church this fall, the interior
of the church is undergoing improve
ments which will not be completed un
til about fall. Thus far, nearly $4,000
has been expended, chiefly for fresco
ing and mural paintings. These con
sist of eight large oil paintings in the
sanctuary, costing $4,000, and "a me
dallions on gold mosaic background
representing the hierarchy of the
church.
These paintings are all from the
brush of Joseph B. Ham, of Chicago
who also executed the decorative
work.
Beautiful coIorinss.
Colors of the decorations were mix
caustic. The walls are in two tone
light terre-cotta. whilst the ceilings
are treated in light ivory, with rich
arabesques in the Keystones and cor
ners.
Especially attractive is the sane
tuary and the vaulted ceiling. They
are treated with gold effect, and col
orful ornaments; the heavy frieZe in
ivory with gold-leaf highlights. and the
walls in damask effect and gold-leaf
as are also the capitals and arches.
Ivory and gold is used for the affairs,
and the statuary is painted in light
natural colors and gold. BY day the
sanctuary is lighted by light amber
skylight, and at night by flood-light
concealed in the ceiling.
Other improvements comprise an
elaborate marble chancel railing, and
some wood carvings to be imported
from Europe.
The cost of these improvements is
being met by voluntary contributions
of the pensioners who have shown
commendable generosity, according to
the Rev. Roell.
Present Officers.
The following constitute the present
board of trustees:
Henry bursting, financial secre.
tary; Joseph Hoch, recording secre-
tary; Ferd Grothaus, treasurer; How
ard B. Geier, r. J. Behringer and
Joseph Stole. The pastor is ex.
officio chairman of the board.
Father F. A. Roell, present pastor
of st. Andrews, is the oldest minister
has held his pastorate longer than any
of his predecessors. The Rev. Roell
came to Richmond in April, 1899, and
has had but two vacations since that
time. He went to Europe in 1905 and
again in 1910. He had been here little
more than a year when fire destroyed
the old st. Andrews church. He has
seen the rapid growth of the church
since rebuilding, and has contributed
greatly to it's present standing in the
community. There are between 800
and 400 more members now, than
when he arrived.

, is believed that the proposal to in
crease the salaries of the judges will
have better chance than some of the
other salary-increasing schemes.
1t is understood that the general ap-
preparations bills will be introduced
,, in the house early this week. Mem
bers of the committee that is working
on the measures said today that the
work is progressing satisfactorily and
! that one of the bills might be intro
duced before the end of today's ses.
sion. In all probability most of the
discussion will be had about the
specific appropriation bill. this being
the one that is supposed to take care
/, of the requests for additional lands,
money for improvements and other
extraordinary expenses.
Agree on Finances.
In all probability the general ap-
preparation measure which takes care
of the maintenance requests will be
agreed on without much difficulty. II
is not hard to arrive at satisfactory
Information about the demands for
maintenance of the state institutions
1t is probable that both bills when
they are presented in the house will
follow pretty largely the figures rec.
| commended by the legislative visiting
committee.
In the house the bills will be re-
ferred to the ways and means com.
mittee and it is the understanding that
public hearings will be held. After
he committee has made it's report it
is probable that the house will resolve
| itself into a committee of the whole
and consider the bills item by item
Unless there is some unexpected inter
ference hearings on the bills should
be held this week.
At the end of the second week of
the legislative session "a bills had
been introduced in the senate and AZ
in the house. This is somewhat be-
low the record of some previous
sessions. OF all of the measures that
have been introduced only a few are
of general interest.
Those in the senate that might be
designated in this class together
with the name of the man who in.
trOduced them, are as follows: Mil
ler--To prevent on memorial day
races or any other sports to which
admission is charged: Moorehead-
To designate Nov. 18th as Armistice
Day; Beardsley - Primary election
bill; English-FiXing the salaries of
judges of the supreme and appellate
courts. (This bill would increase salar-
les from $4,000 a year to 100000 ::

line and other liquids sold by filling
stations and placing the administra-
ton of the act in the hands of the

! enemies of the commission. The Mat
tingly measure would do away with
about every present duty of the serv-
ice commission and would in effect re-
establish the old railroad commission.
Under his bill the members of the re-
receive only $4,000 year.
Confer On Bill.
A bill to repeal the public service
commission act was prepared early in
this session by Representative jim
nett but it is said that this bill is not
the one on which the enemies of the
service commission will concentrate
their efforts. The finally approved
bill will be the result of careful con-
ferences. The Jinnett bill provides
for the establishment of an industrial
court similar to the one that operates
in Kansas.
Those who are here bent on the
death of the service commission as an
official body say they do not desire to
have the industrial court plan mixed
up in the service commission proposal.
They take it that the industrial court
plan would be opposed by organized
labor and thus labor would be lined UP
against the repeal of the commission
act.
Divided Opinions.
The probability of the success or
failure of the enemies of the commits
sion brings forth divided opinions.
Some express the belief that the OPP
ponents of the commission may make
a better showing than they have in
previous sessions, but generally it is
believed that the effort to repeal the
commission act will not meet with
success. The repeal of the act would
mean that much power would go back
into the hands of city councils. In
some of the larger cities of the state
the experience that has been had with
city councils is not encouraging.
The salary grabbers are said to
have at least one foe to meet on the
house committee on fees and salaries
which probably will consider all salary
increasing bills that reach the house.
Claude Smith, who is a member of
the committee, is said to hold very
conservative views about proposals to
increase salaries. No poll has been
made of the committee, but it is ru-
mored about that some others of the
committee will not look with such dis
favor on all efforts to increase the
salaries.
Judges May Benefit.
Speaker Mcclure of the house. has
made no announcement of his attitude
on the salary question but the gossip

occupied the bench in one of the
Madison county courts. Generally it

asets in the fair ground and building
but under the present plan it cannot
realize on these. What the manage
ment OF the board would like to have
IL Is said is the power to make bond
issue of $1,000,000 with a tax levy to
take care OF the bonds. With the pro-
ceeds of the bond issue the board
could pay off its indebtedness and the
remainder could be used for making
improvements at the Playground.
Some OF those who are here to look
after board of agriculture legislation
are saying that Indianapolis does not
properly appreciate the fair. IF the
fair was held in some outside city"
said one of the boards supporters, Il
am sure 1t would receive more public
ity and more support" He was told
that the method of management Of the
board probably had something to do
with the lack of attention the fair re-
ceived.
Sale Is Proposed.
One plan for the state fair which
has had much discussion in the past
but which has not been preached thus
far during the session calls for the
sale of the Playground and the estab-
llshment of the fair on less expensive
land somewhere outside Indianapolis.
West Newton which is about 10 miles
southwest of Indianapolis has been
mentioned as proposed site if this
plan were followed out.
A place farther north of Indianap-
oils also has received attention and it
Is said there is available ground east
of 1rvington. The present Playground
is now situated in a virtually built up
part of the city and the property it is
said could easily be disposed of as
building lots at an excellent figure.
There is no more desirable residence
property in indianapolis than that near
the state Playground.
Would Abolish Commission.
In all probability the biennial move
ment to destroy the Indiana Public
Service commission will be started in
the legislature this week. Those who
are opposed to the commission were
of last week in great numbers and
were saying that if nothing happened
to their plans the real bill for the
adjustment of the commission would
be presented early this week. Among
those who are active in the movement
against the commission is Ezra Mat
tingly of Washington formerly state
senator. Mr.. Mattingly prepared an
anti-public service commission bill
which was presented at the regular
session two years ago but it failed to
get through the senate.
1t is said to be probable that some
of the provisions of the Mattingly
measure will be incorporated in the
measure that will be pushed by the
