EXERCISES OLD
POWER IN NEW
PARDON CHECK
Assembly Invokes Provision of
Constitution in Limiting
Wholesale Clemency.
RECALL GOODRICH MARK

For the first time in the history of
Indiana the State Senate has seen fit
to take advantage of that section of
thS Constitution which gives it
bower to create a board of State
officers without whose consent the
Governor cannot issue pardons In
certain cases.
The fact that former Governor
James P. Goodrich paroled or par
doned 1915 persons during his sd-
ministration Influenced many of the
Senators in their determination to
place strings on the exercise of
wholesale clemency. The rising tide :
OF criminality in the State was an
other dominating factor.
The measure, which now goes to
the House, will prevent the Governor
from pardoning a person convicted
Of vehicle theft without the consent
Of q board composed Of the secretary
of State, auditor of State and treas
urer of State.
The bill passed the Senate yesterday
by a vote OF to 1. Oscar Rats Of
Paoli, Republican floor leader. casting the
planned that he did not believe the con-
stltution meant that the pardoning power
should be limited in specific offenses, but
that any action taken should be general.
The Senator made It clear that he was
not against the merits of the bill.
LEAVES CHAMBER
BE FORE VOTING.
Senator J. Monroe Fitch of Muncie.
the first Senator to question the consti-
tutionaIity OF this section OF the bill. left
his seat and walked out Of the Senate
chamber just before the vote. He re
turned after the vote was announced
The bill, which was introduced BY
Senator Lee J. Hartzell Of Fit. Wayne.
provides a penalty OF three to five years
for first offenses and five to ten years
for second offenses on charges of We
hicle taking. It also provides a fine of
500 to $1,000.
Another factor that Influenced the Sen
ate in its decision is the part Of judges
70 deal leniently with criminals by sus-
Asalng sentences. This is particularly
e@ In Marion County, where revela-
tons by the Daily Times Of favOrs grant
By Judge James A. Collins in Criminal
Court have shocked the community.
Conditions such as exist In Marion
County and in other courts Of the State
will be remedIed If the bill becomes a
Law, because a person convicted Of We
hfcIe taking cannot obtain q suspension
Of sentence from the trial judge.
APPROVED BY
ATTORNEY GENERAL
When Senator Fitch objected that the
section limiting the psrdoning and psrol-
ing power Of the Governor was uncOn-
stitutional Senator Hartzeu read a COM
munication from Attorney General u S.

was constitutional.

TAX MEASURE
TOBE FEATURE
OF BUSY WEEK
McCray Offering Leads I'M
pOrtant Problems to Be
Taken Up After Trip.
PRIMARY CLASH IS NEAR

When the General Assembly reconvenes
at o'clock Monday afternoon, after an
adjournment since Friday afternoon, dur
Ing which the members were guests Of
the Calumet district business men, they
will settle down to important work.
Next week probably will see definite
action on several important matters. The
lawmakers are not unmindful Of the fact
that a fourth of the session has gone and
as yet they have done little If anything,
on some of the major problems.
The administration tax law amend
ments, which are expected to assume an
importance equal to that taken by the
attempt to repeal the primary law, are
expected to appear in the House Of Rep
resentatives early in the week. Repre-
sentative Murray s, Barker Of Boone
County has been selected to pilot the ad-
ministration tax bill through the House
and If 1t is in shape it is understood
he will introduce 1t Monday.
The bill, which has been drafted IN
the Attorney Generals office, has been In
the hands of Governor Warren T. Nc
Cray and his advisers fo- several days.
The Governor has had II considered by
several interested parties, among them
members of the State board Of tax COM
missioners and representatives Of the
Farmers Federation, and 1t Is said that
all Of the essential points have been de-
cided on

ten taxpayers to appeal to the State board

issues and levies. instead of the fifty
specified by the Governor.
This feature will repeal the provisions s
Of the Johnson home rule measure passed
by the special session last summer and
vesting appellate jurisdiction IN the
county councils. The legislators seem to
be in accord that the johnson bill was a
makeshift affair designed TO bridge the
Republican party over the election.
The McCray tax bill will give the State
board power TO order horizontal increa ses
in counties only after the boards of re-
view have failed to act. The State board
also will have authority TO exempt GER
tain classihcations Of property from in
creases when IL Is convinced that they
have been assessed at their true value.
The institutional appropriation bill,
calling for approximately s., ,00o. 900, also
will be reported out OF the Ways and
Means Committee, probably by Tuesday.

SPECULATION RIFE
ON ARMENIAN NOTE

as the President made it perfectly plain
that he accepted the leagues invitation
on condition that the allies cooperate
with him in the effort to bring about
peace between Armenia and the Turks,
many observers here believe President
Wilson would be warranted in declining
to have anything further to do with
the matter.
On the other hand some persons take
the view that President Wilson is In
terested too deeply in the fate of Armenia
to abandon the matter urtil he has ex-
hausted every effort and they express
the conviction that the new note merely
will urge on the league members the
advisabiity Of furnishing additional In
formation as soon as possible in order
that negotiations may proceed.
