PatrOlman Edward Harness.
During the past administra-
ton the police department
adopted the plan Of getting
more erritory covered with
fewer men by having pair
Of patrolmen covering two or
three large districts in auto
mobiles. The old custom Of
an officer pulling the box every
hour, was supplanted and the
motorized police now pull the
box every fifteen minutes.
This keeps the men more
closely in touch with head
quarters. and gives localities
police supervision at a shorter

Police Chief Herman f. Rik-

Letter.

George G. Schmidt, Marion county

court action against the State high

Chesleigh B. Gray, chief engineer

crushed stone as a road material.

Schmidt said he still contemplated
carrying the fight to the courts.
The letter in part:
IT have been reading the matter of
controversy in reference to your spe-
cifications for gravel, and am very
much surprised at the action of the

Reorganization of G. 0. P.
State Committee to Suit
Governor May Bring
ChangeS-Walb Unable to
Secure PIumS.
By Lowell Toms

Eyes of the politically am
bilious these days are conferred
on efforts to reorganize the Re
publican State committee, and
much attention is being given to
the possible effect Of such a re-
arrangement on some of the bet
ter Statehouse jobs.
As a result OF the move that is
being made TO pattern the COM
mittee in n way more suitable TO
Governor Jackson, It Is freely said
the stems on some OF the official
plums are whitening.
jackson VS.. Committee
Governor Jackson has shown a
strong disinclination 10 dole out Jobs
to the satisfaction OF the State COM
mittee. The many trips Of Clyde A.
Walb, State chairman. 20 Jackson's
office have proved fruitless. This
weakening OF Walb has caused a
wavering in the faithfulness Of his
adherents and the need OF a State
chairman with views compatible
with those OF the Governor is seen
by many.
On the basis Of influence with the
Governor. George V, Coffin, Marion
County chairman, would be the
logical dictator OF the State commit.
tees affairs, but with the out.state
voters divided in their views toward
i Coffin a doubt exists as 10 his ability
to 20 over next year, when a chair
man is elected.
Some Are Doubtful
Regardless OF the complexion OF
the State committee, here are some
Of the officials whose jobs hang in
the balance:
Charles w. Zeigler, Attica. chair
man OF the State highway commits
sion: Earl Crawford, Milton. and
Alvan V. Burch, Evansville, two
members Of the roads body.
John d. Williams, director OF the
highway commission.
John J. Brown. chairman OF this
State tax board,
John w. McCardle, chairman OF
the public service commission.
John A. Brown, secretary OF the
board OF State charities.
Estes Duncan. secretary OF the
teachers retirement fund.
Robert It. Humes, chief OF the
State motor police.
Each OF these officials. for some
reason or another, Is on the outs"
with a political faction that Is after
his Job. The continuance OF each on
his particular job depends much on
the new State committee and its In
tiuence with Governor Jackson.
