LEGISLATORS FACE

On Asanclated Preas /.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. "a
Both houses of the Indiana general
assembly will reconvene Monday at
10 o'clock. opening the third week
of the legislative session. The
house is expected TO adjourn at
noon, and probably will hold no aft
ernOOn session in order TO allow
time for committee meetings. The
senate. however, is expected TO hold
the usual morning and afternoon
sessions.
Among the bills expected to be
introduced in the house Of repre-
sentatives. is one by Rep. Elmer w.
Sherwood OF Greene county. which
would prohibit the land stripping"
system of coal mining, which IL is
said, ruins land for agricultural pur-
poses. The act provides a fine OF
5000 for viOlatOrs of the law, and
is said 10 have the backing Of the
slate department of conservation.
w. y. Logan, state geolOgist and J.
y. Hurry, secretary Of the state
board Of health, also are said to
approve the bill.
Would Raise Fees.
Sen. J. Monroe Fitch Of Muncie
will introduce a bill in the senate
which provides for an increase in
most of the fees paid 10 the county
clerk. One of these is a fee for
issuing a marriage license This
fee is now 50. but the bill proposes
to make IL 81.
Juries also are going to be nor,
expensive If the bill passes as it has
been drawn. The present law pro-
vides that a person who is assessed
the cost of court in either civil or
criminal action pays $3.50 for the
jury irrespective Of the number Of
days the jury serves. The Fitch bill
proposes TO make the party losing
the case pay One-half OF the actual
jury costs. This amounts 10 SIS

fees which are eliminated in the

clerk are increased from % to 500
