May Limit Powers.
The constitution says the governor

lions as may be provided by law, or

The movement for a law giving cit

Knapp Prepares Bill.
Those who are in favor of the plan
which is embodied in a bill prepared
by Representative Knapp of Wayne
county. point to the rise and fall of
Don Roberts in Terre Haute as very
good example of what may happen
when the government of any city is
dominated by politics. And what ap-
pears to be more significant, Roberts
has returned to Terre Haute from the
federal prison and is said to be very
busy building up another political ma

to be meeting with some success.

troduced measure fixing the penalty
for robbery OR assault with intent to
commit robbery at life Imprisonment
In the house Cooper has a bill that
would fix life Imprisonment for con
viction on a robbery charge where the
defendant carried dangerous weapons.
Urge Imprisonment.
Filbert has bill providing for life
Imprisonment where two or more per
sons seize an automobile to escape
after committing burglary, robbery or
grand larceny. Boner has a measure
in the house providing life imprison-
ment for those attempting to rob
banks or trust companies and prohib-
iting paroles until at least one-half of
the maximum sentence has been
served.
1t may be of course that some of
the anti-crime measures with conflict
ing provisions will be killed but it
seems certaian that after this session
is ended the road is going to be rocky
for the Indiana criminal. The low
minimum sentence for serious crimes
it is admitted has been bad. Often a
very dangerous criminal has been au-
tomatically admitted to parole after
serving one year or less of his sent
ence. 1t is said that the Terre Haute
man named Mcdonald who shot up a
Terre Haute court room a few years
ago killed one man and seriously in

case is only one of many.

fore the state legislature to provide
funds for the federal government
agents to make the map.
1--WE have no assurance that the dis
astrous flood of 1918 will not be re.
peated in Indiana says the state
seologist. I'm fact the concensus of
opinion is that by robbing our water
sheds of their growths of timber we
have invited frequent floods. The first
step to be taken in any food proven
ton is to have made accurate topo-
graphic maps of all water sheds. When
these maps are completed the amount
Of all flood water is easily computed
for each drainage basin as all of the
streams and the areas drained by
them are located and the fall Of each
stream is indicated as we'll as suitable
sites for impounding structures.
Consider Plant Locations.
'The power requirements of Indiana
are at the present time about one and
one-half million horse power. All ex-
cept an almost infintestimal amount is
produced by the consumption Of our
fuel resources. No more than 10 per
cent Of Indiana's potential water pow
er has been developed.
The most favorable locations for
water power plants in Indiana will not
be definitely known until preliminary
surveys have been made and no plants
can be established without the prepare
ton Of detailed maps Of the drainage
areas.
"The topographic map furnishes the
necessary data for determination Of
plant site area of run-off position of
lakes and streams and the essential
facts necessary to the engineer for
making his estimates. This informa-
ton must be secured before power
plant companies can be convinced Of
the desirability of plant locations in
Indiana.
Would Cooperate With U. S.
'The division of geology of the de-
partment of conservation is trying to
secure funds for inaugurating a topo-
graphic survey in cooperation with the
United States Geological Survey.
According to the plan of co-opera-
ton the expenses would be shared
equally except that the expense OF
printing the maps would be borne by
the national government. The funds
provided by the state would all be
used in paying the actual field expen-
ses of the men engaged in the work.

LENINE "21 POINTS"
SPLIT SOCIALISTS
(RY Associated Pressl

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-Nicolai Len
ines ultimatum to the socialists of
the world, giving them the "21 condi-
tons to which they must subscribe
before they can be received into the
Third or Communist Internationale of
Moscow, has met with a widespread,
if in many cases negative, response.
1t indicates decided split in the ranks
of the Socialist party in many coun-
tries judging by reports from abroad.
In the fifteen nations where such
opinions have been expressed, four
have been unqualifedly against enter
ing the Third Internationale, one is
undecided, three are divided and seven
in favor are opposed by determined
minorities.
Lenine demanded. among other
things, that Socialist organizations
must purge themselves of all moder-
ates. defy all national laws, under
mine armies, gain control of the press,
throw off the allied yoke" promote
d world economic crisis, condemn any
league of nations, aid the soviet gov
eminent and abandon for the blood
and fire Of red revolution" all con-
Gervative democratic programs.

but would be bad thing for the bust
ness. The argument made by those
who oppose the plan is that a school
superintendent is hired because he is
supposed to know how to select teach
ers and to know what teachers should
be retained.
They can see no use in hemming
him about with a great many rules re-
lating to public hearing and other
ceremonies that must be undergone
before single teacher can be dis
charged. While the proposed civil
service arrangement is being boosted
by number Of Indianapolis teachers
it is known that it will have opposition
from rather powerful sources in In
dianapolis and elsewhere before final
action is taken on it.
1t is apparent that a great many leg
islators have their knives ready for
devices that have been used in the past
to extend ready aid to criminals. The
number of bills that have been intro
duced relating to criminals and other
action that is being taken show that
the period of slushy sympathy for the
criminal in Indiana is at an end
The senate the other day took quick
action on bill by English to provide
a sentence of from 10 to 20 years, a
fine of not more than $1,000 and dis
reimbursement for persons convicted
of committing or attempting to COM
NIT robbery by violence. 1t was pass
ed without dissenting vote, being the
third bill passed.
Increase Penalty
In other case favorable action was
taken on a measure that would great
ly increase the penalty for vehicle
stealing and would take away from
judges the power to suspend sentences
anad would greatly limit the power of
the governor in the matter of pardons
or paroles. This was the HartZell
bill which was advanced with only
one dissenting vote.
