LEGISLATURE MAY
SET RECORD FOR
REPEATING LAWS
Reforms of the Past Under
Fire-Move to Undo
Some Measures.

If present predictions are fulfilled,
the 1927 session of the Indiana
Legislature, which convenes Jan. 4,
may go down in Hoosier political
annals as a record in proposing, and
mayhap passing, laws to repeal
laws.
The too much law and too much
government" war cry has been
rising in pitch and volume and it
is likely to be reflected when the
legislative body convenes.
Touted reforms of the past are be.
forthcoming to undo the measures,
The list is a long one and each re-
peal will have the backing of popular
opinion to a greater or less degree.
Commission Target
Outstanding among them may be
the attempt to abolish the public
service commission by repeal of the
Shively- Spencer act This move has
considerable backing among citizens
in the State and large and increas-
ing popularity in Indianapolis be-
cause of the United States Supreme
Courts decision upholding the water
rates and the fight against the cleo
trio utilities merger.
Abolition or curtailment of the
functions of the State tax board is
another measure that is gaining local
popularity due to the tax boards re-
duction of Indianapolis school tax
rate.
Oil inspectors jobs, under the
State health board, may also be
doomed, although they have passed
safely through several sessions where
there was considerable opposition.
The direct primary is another re
form" that has it's enemies and may
be the target of legislative shaft.
Senator Rollin II. Hill is studying
the ACCESSIBILITY of making it a mat
ter Of local option"
Absent voter legislation will be
attacked in the annual address of
the Governor, it is reported. The
Governor is not expected to touch
on the direct primary fight.
Dry Law Issue
Attempt may be made to combine
the offices Of clerk and reporter of
the Supreme Court and also to have
the reporter publish advance sheets,
containing the opinions as handed
down from time to time. This pub
LEGATION is at present lodged with the
West Publishing Company, st. Paul,
MINI.
While on the subject of publication
it is expected that Senator John S.
Alldredge may be hack with his bill
for the State publication of school
books.
Senator G. Oliver Holmes, Gary, is
still interested in eugenic measures.
Then there is the matter of modifi-
cation Of the Wright bone-dry law to
permit doctors to prescribe whisky
when they deem it necessary. The
Indiana Anti-Saloon League does not
favor this measure.
Rumblings have been heard
against the State pardon board, and
1t, too, may develop it's quota Of
abolitionists.

APATHY PREVAILS:
TOWARD START OF
CONGRESS MONDAY
Opinion That Little Can Be
Accomplished at Short
Session Is Factor.

BU United Press
WASHINGTON. Dec. with tax
reduction, prohibition and farm re
lief IN the foreground, the Sixty
Ninth Congress will meet here Mon
day for its final short session.
Although many problems of press
ing national Importance are to be
fought out, there is less activity at
tending the openeing of this session
than usual.
There are no hasty conferences
Of congressional leaders; no feverish
dlckering over programs; no meet
ings of important committees franz
ing legislation: no viewing with
alarm" and little pointing with
pride"
Few Members Arrive
Until this morning only a few
Senators and Representatives had
returned from their homes. Many
will not arrive until the middle of
next week.
There seems to be a general feel
ing that little can be done in the
short session which will have only
about six weeks Of actual debate be-
fore March 4, automatically termi-
mates the Congress. Instead OF pre-
cipltating skirmishes for preferential
positions for legislation, this fact
has discouraged activity.
This is a lame duck" session and
1t has been typical Of such sessions
in the past that they start off quietly
and wind up in a free for-all fight
with little business transacted. They
are called lame duck" sessions be-
cause the Senators and representa-
tives were elected two years ago and
are merely holding office until the
new Congress elected last Novmber
comes into authority after March 4.
Some Money Bills Ready
The House Appropriations Com.
mittee has been quietly at work up
on appropriation bills the last few
days and several are ready to be
taken up in the House before Christ
mas. The first bill on the House
calendar is the measure to increase
the salaries of judges.
The s10O.00O.OOO rivers and
harbors bill, including a proposal
for diversion Of Lake Michigan
water TO provide a nine-foot channel
from the lakes to the gulf is first
on the Senate list. 1t is to be taken
up next week and adopted before
the Christmas holidays.

FIRST STEPS TO =,
GET FIGURES ON
MERGER TAKEN
Perk, Accountant for C. of
c., ConferS With Com
mission Officials.

First steps to accumulate ammu-
milton in the form of facts with
which to batter down the $1,000, 900
capitalization sought in the pro-
posed local electric utilities merger.
were taken Friday afternoon when
Benjamin Perk. expert utility &C
countant conferred with Frank
Wampler public service commission
er in charge of the merger hearing,
and Earl l. Carter, chief engineer
of the commission, to "see what
they had" as Perk explained,
Announcement of the employment
of Perk was made Friday by the
Chamber Of Commerce. He will aid
Attorney Frederick e. Matson in
arguing the merger case before the
commission con it's merits" in an
effort to protect the public from over
capitalization and excessive rates. -
Arguments may be unnecessalt
however, If the commission rules ia
Vorably on two motions filed Friday
asking for dismissal Of the merger
petition because Of lack Of juris-
diction. One was filed for the city
by City Corporation Counsel Alvah
ii. Rucker, Charles Mendenhall and
John w. Becker.
For Federation
The other, for the Federation Of
Community Civic Clubs, was filed
by Attorneys E. o. Snethen and
Samuel Dowden. The original petit
ton was ruled out because of non
Jurisdiction, upon advice Of Attor-
ney General Arthur II. Gilliom. An
amended petition was filed by the
Indianapolis Light and Heat Com.
pany and the Merchants Heat and
Light Company and the new mer-
ger company, the Indianapolis Power
and Light Company. The motions.
filed Friday, ask that this be dealt
with, as was the original, and on the
same grounds-that the new com.
pany cannot be considered a utility
under the Indiana law.
Date of hearing has not been set
by Wampler, and it is not expected
that it will be announced until after
hearing on jurisdiction in the Rucker
injunction suit in Marion County
Circuit Court on Monday. This suit
asks for a restraining order to pre-
vent the commission from hearing
the merger petition. Jurisdiction of
the court has been attacked by
utilities attorneys and the question
is to be threshed out Monday.
More Facts Later
Effectiveness Of the work to be
done by Perk will be registered -
the event that the commission d
ceeds with the merger hearing. His
conference Friday was to unearth
what facts the commission has on
hand. After digesting these, he will
proceed to garner needed informa-
ton from the companies themselves,
and other sources, he declared.
Perk has had nine years expert
ence In similar work in this city and
has figured in every big utilities
project heard before the commission.
The Garfield Civic League adopted
a resolution opposing the proposed
merger at a meeting Friday night.
Frank Neu, r. e. Ruth, and J. e.
Brittenbach have been named to con-
fer with attorneys aiding the fight,
against the petition.

LIVING ON THE EARN

Only about % per cent of the popu-
lation of the United States live on
farms or in farm areas. In 1880
about 90 per cent of the people of the
United States were on farms or lived
in agricultural communities. The
conditions with regard to farm life
have changed, just as everything else
has changed in our social and eco
nomic affairs. There was a time
when farmers were called "moss-
backs" by city dwellers, and the lat
ter were usually referred to as
"dudes" by farm dwellers.. All this
antagonism between city and country
people has been wiped out since the
automobile, telephone and good roads
have brought them into closer con-
tact. City dwellers and country folks
have looked into each others eyes
and they have become friends. While
farms and farm areas are apparent
ly diminishing, production is either
on the increase or remaining steady.
Owing to the government system of
telling In advance the world needs of
different crops, and furnishing daily
weather and market reports, the ag-
ricultural interests of the country
know pretty well how to stock their
shelves with the produce of the soil

Clean Kidneys
By Drinking
Lots of Water
Take Salts to Flush Kidneys IL
Bladder Bothers or
Back Hurts

Eating too much rich food may pro-
duce kidney trouble in some form, says
a well-known authority, because the
acids created excite the kidneys. Then
they become overworked, get sluggish,
clog UP and cause all sorts of distress,
particularly backache and misery in the
kidney region, rheumatic twinges, severe
headaches, acid stomach, constipation,
torpid liver, sleeplessness, bladder and
urinary irritation.
The moment your back hurts or kid
neys aren't acting right, or if bladder
bothers you, begin drinking lots of good
water and also get about four ounces OF
Jad Salts from any good pharmacy
take a tablespoonful in a glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and
your kidneys may then act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid oi
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
iithia, and has been used for years tC
flush clOgged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity; also to neutralize th'
acids in the system so that they nC
longer irritate, thus often relieving blad
der disorders.
Jad Salts can not injure anyone

women take now and then to help keel
the kidneys and urinary organs clean
