AUTO LICENSE
LAW BRINGS TO
STATE 100000
Funds Derived Under New Act
to Be Used in War on
Car Thieves.

Approximately 100000 will be the
States profit. exclusive Of the work and
salaries Of the police force, under the new
certificate Of license law which became
effective recently, it was learned today.
The State charges the automobile own
ers 81 for the certificate and the certta-
cate container. The certificates cost the
State approximately SIT a thousand and
the holders slightly over this amount.
Title certificates are being issued at
the rate Of 5000 day and at the present
rate many people will be without their
certificates the first day Of September,
the lsst day Of grace allotted auto own
ers By the State license department
The $4,000 the State takes in for GER
tifcates and title holders will be used In
fighting auto thieves according to How
ard Mcclellan. head of the department
At present Indiana has 314 900 pleasure
cars and 10000 motor trucks.
All the money derived from passenger
and truck license at present is turned
over TO the State highway commission
and is used for the building Of new roads
and repairs on the roads which are In
need.
The money derived from sale Of certi-
ficates and holders also will be used to
pay salaries.

(144 Ind. 503). The only other law prior
to 1890 that escaped was that Of 1897, and
1t only because it was not attacked in
the courts.
FIFTY YEARS
DEMONSTRATION.
Ali Of this wasted much time Of the
Legislature, the people, and the courts !;
but worse than that 1t diverted their at
tention from material legislation which
they should have been considering. Half
a-century ago, Governor Hendricks and
General Harrison made the State echo
with their denunciations of gerrymanders
of the other party, and we are still at
It. You will recall that at the last session
Of the Legislature some feeling was dis
played because the Congressman wanted
to FIX their districts" and the leslsla-
tors resented the attempt to interfere
with their right to do the fixing. We havo
had over fifty years Of absolute demon
stration that the system is bad; and 1t
is as foolish as 1t is bad.
Numerical epresentation, on the idea
Of representing individual voters, Is neither
desirable nor practical. The only sane
representation is of political units; and in
Indiana the obvious political unit is the
county. 1t Is the one in which there is
community of interest. Your tax systeIa,
land record system, court system, school
system and entire local official systems
are or a county basis. Other orSdniza-
lions follow the same grouping-har assG-
cin lions, medical associations, fair asso-
Citations, charitable associations, and all
the rest Mantfestly every county ought to
have at least one representative IN the
Legislature; but very frequently small
counties are without any representative IN
either house, on account of our JOINT
district" system. Of corse the larSes
counties should have more representation
because they pay more taxes, and have
greater and more diversified interests; but
the whole basis should be hxed in the con
stitution. and pat out Of the reach OF
both Legislatureg and courts, II the people
have had enough of the gerrymander
FEWER DISTRICTS
LESS TEMPTATION.
AS to the State Senate, vastly better re-
suits could be obtained by dividing the
State into fo94Aor FIVE districts and re-
mvoirg the temptation to gerrymander
by providing minority representation. IL

Weak, Thin Folks

Dr. Frederic S. Kolle, the New York
author of medical text books, whose opin-
ions are greatly valued, writes:
when the nerve tissue begins to lose
It's vitality, woman begins to lose her
youth and vivaciousness. She becomes

Thousands of thin, run down people
whose nervous energy is nearly exhaust
ed are turning to Bitro Phosphate as dis
pensed by Hooks Drug Stores and other
leading druggists, because it helps to
revitallze the nerves, increase bodily
weight and bring back energy and mental
keenness.

ILLUSTRATION IN.
MARION COUNTY.
There are other advantages that are
equally obvious. We have a parallel In
Marion County for the illustration given
by Governor Hendricks. Under the ap
portioninent law Of 1918 it was given ten
representatives.. In the election Of 1915,
the Republican vote was approximately
10000, ard the Democratic vote 10000, the
Republicans electing the ten representa-
tiveS. OF cou sc this vote was abnormal;
and in the swing Of the pendulum the
Democrats are liable to elect ten. IN
der minority representation the Repub
ncans, in 1916, would have elected their
six highest representatives, and the
Democrats four. Assuming that the peo-
pie vote intelligently, we should always
have more capable representa- ton If the
six best men on one side were returned,
and the four best men on the other.
Moreover, this would be an approach
to real representation. When a commit
tee is formed for any public purpose. no
rational person would advocate taking
all the members from one optical party,
one church, one fraternaI organization,
or anything Of that sort. Common sense
leads US to seek to represent as many
classes and interests as possible. And
such a division would make the Legis-
lature more accessible to all who take
interest in any of its work. The aver
age legislator looks on any one who ap-
proaches him concerning legislation as
having an ak to grind" and, if Of the
opposite party, as having improper mo-
tives. 1t is really a relief to meet a
legislator whom you know, and who
knows you, to whom you do not have to
furnish a certificate Of good moral char

were 113 deaths from automobile acct
denst among the compary's industrial
policy holders. This Is at the rate of
1o.2 perw10o 900, about % per cent higher
than inetApril, 1920.
The chief causes for the mortality in
crease probably are the increasing con-
gestion Of city streets and the greater
number Of drivers, many Of them new.
The figures indicate that safety and pre-
cautionary measures already applied have
not been sufficiently effective, and give
evidence In concrete form OF the neces-
sity for a concerted effort to reduce the
automobile hazard

that has been expended In Indiana about
'unrepresented SURPRISES" the only In
diana statesman who has called atten-
ton to unrepresented minorities was
Governor Hendricks, who said in his
message Of 1873:
81 wish to call attention to the subject
Of representative reform, which, during
the last ten years has been advocated by
some of the best minds, both in Europe
and In this country, and is now under
going the test of experience. l desire to
make this the more emphatic, because In
this State 1t seems yet to ce regarded as
right and proper for tie majority to
deny to thu minority evel that repre-
sentation which an apportio nment based
upon population and contiguity Of coun-
ties would give Representative reform
rests upon the proposition that minorities
of constituencies should have a repre-
sentation as nearly in proportion to num-
bers as may be practicable. All the citl-
zens contribute to the burdens Of gov
eminent and should yield obedience to
the laws, and it Is just, equal and fair
that all should be represented. One Of
the ablest Of English statesmen, in the
debate in the House of Lords on the re-
form bill Of 1867 suggested this illustra-
ton: Suppose a representative district
has 10000 voters ond 5000 are of one side
in politics and 1000 Of the other, would
that district not be better represented If
both the 5000 and the 1000 were rep
resented than IL the votes of either be
wholly rejected and without influence or
power? He added: l can well under
stand men who are extremely intolerant
and exclusive In politics obJecting to
give any voice to those whose political
views are distasteful to them, but 1 can
not understand such an objection being
urged by those who are in favor of hav-
ing public opinion fairly represented.
The advantages of this reform are OBJ
vious. Political asperities would be
modified; local satisfaction would be PRO
duced the temptation to corruption and
bribery at elections would be greatly re
moved, and security and permanency

that the Supreme Court was induced to
undertake the perilous task of reviewing
Legislative discretion" and substituting
judicial discretion" for it. The court
ran along merrily, knocking out one ap
portionment after another, until It
bumped into a stone wall that forced a
change of program.
In 1895 the Supreme Court was CON
fronted by the fact that all of the sp-
pOrtionment acts that had been ques-
toned before it were unconstitutional
under the rules laid down by it, and that
the only law that remained was the Demo-
cratic apportionment law OF 1885, which
was just as plainly a gerrymander, under
the courts rulings. as any of the others.
and which had been vigorously assailed
on that ground In successful Republican
campaign. But if 1t were held uncOnEti-
tutional, there remained no law under
which a Legislature could be elected, and
so II was declared in force, on the ground
that it had not been formally questioned
