call of a measure for further voting
either way.
After Gwin had been informed by
the chair his motion was out of
order because the BIZ! neither was
passed nor voted down, Representa-
tive John D. T. Bold Dem, VAN
derburg) rose to inquire the fate Of
the motion.
1T was out of order" replied
Speaker Walter Myers.
oh" said Bold. 'The trick didn't
work then"
Representative Clyde KarTer
(Dem., Marion) led the fight for
passage of his bill, charging that
"extortionate rates of petty loan
sharks have contributed greatly to
the present depression and it's up
to this legislature to put some sort
OF. curb on them"
Its such profitable business, .
asserted Karrer, that eastern capt.
tai has come into Indiana and es-
tablished chain loan companies. It's
such a profitable business that there
is a strong and well organized lobby
out to defeat this bill.

BILL PROVIDES
new SCHOOL AID
Use of Excess Revenue Is
Object of Measure.

If new sources of state revenue
provided by legislation enacted this
year exceed those which may be 50
displaced in the state tax levy, pub
lie schools would get the excess
under an amendment the senate af-
fixed to the Evans Walsman house
bill today.
AS passed by the mouse, the bill
requires that revenues produced by
1881 acts shall be used for pro-
portionate reduction in the state
tax levy, now 90 cents.
Offering the amendment today,
Senator Thurman A. Gottschalk
Dem., Adams, Blackford and Wells
explained that if income taxes are
levied and auto license fees raised
and made applicable to tax reduc-
ton, more money may be raised
than is raised by that portion of the
state tax rate which may be re-
placed. Of the 29-cent levy, fixed
levies total 16 cents, leaving but Is
cents which may be displaced.
GottSchalk's amendment would
have the excess revenues turned into
the general fund for distribution
on the same basis as the state
school fund and to be used for re-
ductlon of local school levies.

And why shouldn't it be a good
business?" he continued. THE loan
company gets the best sort of Sc

dianapolis Public Welfare Loan AS

in the past, has been conducting
It's business on a 2 per cent a
month interest rate and has con-
sidered reducing that rate to IL
per cent.
He was joined by Representative
Charles Y. Foster CRep., Hamilton) i,
who asserted 2l5 per cent now on
money is worth what 81 per cent
was three years ago. Foster quoted
one instance Of a man whom he
said paid interest on petty loan
for three years until he paid in
interest more than the original
loan.
The bill probably will be called
back today or early next week for
second vote.

The climax was reached Thursday
and came when it least was ex-
pected-during the roll call on the
vote.
Getting to his feet, Representative
E. Curtis White dem. Marion)
declared:
Il was told I would hear a $4,000
speech here this afternoon and I
yielded my time to hear it. I want
to explain my vote. Any business

A few moments earlier, White had
interrupted a speech by Representa-
tive Fabius Gwin Dem, Dubois and
MARTINI against the bill, by assert
ing, hes exceeded his FIVE minutes,

At conclusion of the voting, GWin,
apparently under the impression the
bill had been defeated, invoked par

CORRECT
MANNERS
MRS. Cornelius Beeckman-

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
I would like to give a bridge
party, just two tables. The girls
are old friends. Do you think it
would be out of place to have
it formal? No one has given
one, but I'd like to be bit
different. Do you think it
would be out of place? I
don't want to appear foolish.
L. H.
A bridge party of just two
tables would inevitably, I think,
be regarded as an informal
party. And to try to change
it's type and make it formal
would give a forced, inappro-
pirate atmosphere to your party.
1t would indeed appear fool
ish". and I suggest that you
make it different" in some
other way. Glorify your hos
pitality. make your bridge re-
freshments especially interest
ing and attractive give un-
usually lovely bridge prizes, if
you wish. this will be better
than to strain for an inappro-
pirate effect.

HINTS

A little melted butter added
to pancake batter just before
frying, not only improves the
flavor of the pancakes, but pre-
vents them from sticking to the
pan.
A squeeze of lemon juice
added to the water in which
rice is boiled helps to separate
the grains.
A good carpet cleansing med
1um is an ounce of WormWood
salts in a pail Of warm water.
After the carpet has been we'll
brushed, use the cleanser in
the same way as the soap
lather already mentioned.
A pinch of bicarbonate of
soda added to fruit while stew

to sweeten the fruit.
