They may be followed by a political
upheaval in the Hoosier State. But
the likelihood Is that the present Re-
publican machine in the State will!
scarcely be endorsed before the sena-
torial primaries take place next year.
This machine is dominated by Sena-
tors Watson and Robinson, who have
co.operated closely in the last year or
two. If Mr.. Sanders should enter the
race for the senatorial nomination
against Senator Robinson there would
be an ugly fight, which might result
in more harm to the Republican party.

THE GOVERNORS UNIVISE COURSE

1t is difficult to comprehend the point of view of
Governor Young in his campaign for increased

curtes representing property in other states and held

he governor Is apparently determined that these

If the governors will prevails it will go hard with

Two Things must be admitted in justification of the
contention or Governor Young: FIRST the state is

costs OF government, budget OF SIYUUU0OOO

But California, perhaps more than any other state

tainlng them faster than any state Yet just

The concerns in other states having stocks and bonds

be presumed in the states where those concerns are
located To tax them again in California double tax
