The sun will shine SO bright today

The sweetest. brightest little girl,
And this is her birthday.

Heaven seems reflected in their

They are so good and true.
She has filled our home with sun

We hope she'll with us stay;
We've had her now for sixteen
years,
And this is her birthday.
Then give roses to the fair one,
Their fragrance fingers long.
They make sweet music in the heart
Like the refrain OF a song.
Let US offer our best wishes,
That your life be filed with joy;
That each birthday may grow

the proper kind Of men are at the
helm. The omnibus system has been
widely used in both branches in prev
ious sessions.
Comparison Interesting.
Legislative leaders said today that
when this session has ended compar-
ison of it with the Democratic session
of 1913 would be interesting. The two
sessions were alike in that one politi-
cal party had large majorities. In
1913 the Democrats had large MAORI
ties in both houses. In this session
the Republicans have large majorities.
In 1919 the Democratic legislature
made so many expenses that figurative-
ly speaking it almost ran away with
the state treasury. There were door
keepers, stenographers, clerks and
other employees galore. 1t was COM
mon saving that you could not go into
the statehouse during that session
without stepping on doorkeeper.
But the Republicans say that the
expense account at the end of this
session will be widely different from
that of 1918. Some of the leaders were
saying today that they believed the
total expense of the session would run
under that of last session was only
100000. The expense of the 1919 SEES
sion ran many thousands of dollars
above this figure. A comparison of
the legislation of the two sessions may
be interesting at later time.

taxes to keep the schools going. It
was said that they could keep making
advance draws until the common
school levy bill goes into effect, when
it is believed the poor counties will
have no trouble with their schools.
The new common school levy bill pro-
vides that a large percentage of the
school levy income shall go to the de-
ficiency fund. 1t is a house bill and
is ready for action in the senate. 1t
is almost certain to go through.
Legislators who were discussing the
school question around the hotels last
night said the governor had at first
opposed the Bonner bill which car
ried an appropriation to keep the
schools in the poorer counties going
because he was against bill that car
ried such large appropriation. They
said, however, that a number of SEN
ators whose schools were suffering,
had gone to the governor and told
him that they were facing a grave
emergency.
Must Extend Terms.
They pointed out that the law
enacted at the special session of the
legislature which provides minimum
pay of $500 year for School teachers
would soon be in effect and that un-
less something was done to extend the
terms in the poorer counties, teachers
in short time would be drawing $500
for four or five months work.
Home Rule Up.
The house bill which would author
ice cities to establish the commission
or commission manager form of gov.
eminent was scheduled to come up in
the senate this week. 1t is said that
Mr.. Mcclure, the speaker of the house
Is greatly interested in the welfare OF
this measure and that he has already
spoken to senate members about 1t
and will continue to follow it's course
in the senate. The city Of Anderson
Mr.. McClure's home city, is said to
have had some rather sad experiences
with its present form of government
and that is the reason for his present
stand. 1t is said that the governor
has EXPRESSED no opinion in regard te
the bill and naturally the senators
from small towns will not be greatly
interested in it.
Expect Passage.
The general opinion today was
thought that the bill would go through
the senate. Senators who were no
vitality interested in it said they be
| lieved there would be no harm in per
! hitting citizens to vote on the form
/ of government they should have ant

/ of the bill which would also authorize
the people to decide whether the.
should go back to the old form of gov
! eminent after trying out the commits

Has Been Amended.
The bill has been amended consid.

exceptions. Telephone and telegraph

from the provisions.
While the measure has had the sup

from a number of women and girls

suited In a changed attitude on the
part OF good many of them. They
feel that now that they are full citi-
zens no special legislation should be
enacted in their favor Possibly one
OF the senators when the working hour
bill was up in that body thought he
was making a decided hit when in a
burst Of oratory he spoke of women
being OF the weaker sex and told how
they must be protected. AS matter
OF fact, some of the women made a
good many sneering remarks about
this speech. This is one particular
phase of the woman vote to which the
politician must open his eyes.
The attitude of the women has re-
suited in the many amendments to the
working hour bill and it will be mildly
surprising IL the measure gets through
at all, though in its present form it
does not seem to be harmful and might
be Of some benefit.
Memorial Pending.
There is considerable. interest at
this stage of the legislature in the So
called soldier memorial bill One of
these measures has been killed and
two others were on the program for
consideration this week in. the house,
The bill that has been killed would
enable Marion county to issue bonds
for paying half of the expense in the
purchase of land in North Meridian
street, Indianapolis, as site for a
state soldiers memorial One of the
bills that is pending would enable the
city of Indianapolis to take care of the
other half of the expense and the other
bill would authorize the state to &C
cept the site as a memorial site.
The belief was expressed today that
the bill that has failed to get through
might be brought up again for con-
sideration with referendum section
attached. 1t would thus enable the
people of Marion county to vote on the
question of whether the county would
pay the proposed expense and the city
people also would according to this
plan vote on their half of the expense.
Some expressed the opinion that the
bills in this form might get through
American legion men were hard at
work yesterday in an effort to save
tho measures.
Amendments Linger.
With most Of the resolutions for
constitutional amendments through
both houses there is much interest in
two of them that are lingering by the
wayside. One of these is the amend
ment that would enable the legisla
ture tc establish a system of taxation
and the other is one that would au
thorize the levying of an income tax
But the first one is the important one
because if i. becomes a part of the
constitution the other one will not be
needed. If the legislature has the
power to establish a tax system it will
also have the power to authorize ar
| income tax.
The bill giving the legislature pow
er to establish a system of taxation
went through the senate but was re
ported for indefinite pos-po::-ment in
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-02-28

the house. However the report was
not adopted by the house and the
resolution was recommitted to the
committee. 1t is understood that the
governor is greatly interested in this
amendment and that Senator Rats
and other administration leaders of the
senate will devote considerable time
this week to an effort to get favorable
action in the house.
Gives Free Rein.
Under the constitution now the leg
islature may establish just and equal
system of taxation but the proposed
amendment would leave out the quail
flying words and give the legislature
free rein. A good many of the friends
of the proposed amendment believe
the legislature under the constitution
as it exists now would have the pow
err to classify property for taxation or
to levy an income tax but they say
that such action under the present
constitution would always be subject
to controversy in the courts. 1t was
this part of the constitution that kill
ed off the exception that was pro-
posed for intangibles in the present
tax law.
Friends of the administration are
hopeful that this amendment will get
through and has been stated are hope
full that the bill for special election
to consider all of the proposed amend
ments will be made a law. Their
main argument is that action of this
kind may head off constitutional con-
vention.
Point Out Mistake.
Senator Rats and others who be-
fore the session of the legislature be-
gan went into other states studying
budget systems and other features for
the governor ran into two or three
constitutional conventions and they
say that in every case such conven-
tons had developed a great deal Of
log rolling and wrangling, and had re-
suited in some very unwise enact.
ments. The chief mistake they said
was the inclination of the constitu-
tional convention delegates to take
care of details in the constitution in
stead of making the constitution a
broad enactment and leaving the de-
tails to the legislature. Illinois, they
point out, has suffered. greatly from
4 long drawn out session of a consti
tutional convention and Ohio they say
has not fully recovered from its con
stitutional convention.
1t was said before the sessions OF
the legislature began today that the
question of aid for number of schools
of the state that are about to close
their doors after short terms would
be settled satisfactorily before the enc
of the week.
Advance Plans.
Several plans had been discussed
and one that was in favor would be
! authorization of the school authorities
in the poorer counties to take money
in advance from the June draw o.
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1921-02-28

of a large quantity of work during the
last week. In addition to the killing
of bills referred to above the house
passed 80 house bills and six senate
bills. The senate passed 81 senate
bills and 18 house bills and killed nine
senate bills and three house bills. One
Of the high points in the senate and
house was the killing Of bills that
would have changed the present laws
in regard to the teaching of German
language in the schools.
Night Sessions Probable.
While the appropriation bills and
most of the orner important bills are
well advanced 1t is probable that
night sessions will be held in both
houses the greater part of this week.
1t is said to be the feeling of mem
bers on both sides that it is up to the
legislature to take some kind of &C.
ton on all measures that have been
introduced even though most of them
be killed. 1t was said today that in
all probability the omnibus system of
acting On bills will be adopted in the
house for the finishing work
Under this system by which num-
Der of bills are punched and action
taken on all at one roll call there is
great danger of bad bills getting
through. But it is said that number
of Republican leaders of both houses
have conferred with Speaker Mcclure
and have impressed on him the i'm
portance of appointing the very best
and Invest men on the house steering
committee. The steering committee is
the one that lists the measures on
which omnibus action shall be taken.
1t is known that some of the Republi-
can leaders of the senate are little
anxious about the adoption of the sys-
tenn in the house but they believe it
may be operated without damage if
