THE GENERAL EFFECT IS NOTED

Special Corrcspoiidcncc.J

Indianapolis, Fob. .13.—The apportionment bill lias linally been determined on by the IJcpublican joint caucus, and everybody seems well satisfied with it. Only four counties are changed. Johnson is taken from, the Seventh and added to the Fourth. This has the effect of enlarging the ft]rcady hopeless Democratic majority of that district and making Marion county a district of itself. All the Johnson coumy ^Republicans that ever "cut much ice-' down there are in Indianapolis holding office now and they are satisfied to lot it go at that, while the others that stayed in Johnson county are well satisiied to be in adistrict where they will get some consideration in conventions, instead of being tied onto a machine they never pretended to understand.

Decatur is taken out of the Fourth, still further weakening its Republican minority, and added to the Sixth, making that district a little mroe substantially Republican, if that were needed. Incidentally, it greatly strengthens Congressman Watson's hold on the nomination. The Republicans that "do business" In Greensburg are staunch friends of Watson, and have not forgotten the time he beat Dolman in the Fourth, and they are not merely for him, bur "fur" him, heari and soul.

Congressman Landis is made happy by having Howard county taken out of the Eleventh district and restored to its old place as the Republican Gibraltar of the Ninth. Henceforth the only worry Landis will have will be the nomination, for once that is secured, the nominee can go to sleep until after election. But the nomination may be a cause for greater worry than heretofore. Howard has a good many strong men, and some of them may

take a notion to go after the plum. If they ever get into the conspiring business with those Machiavcl116 in Montgomery, there will be a disturbance.

The Eleventh is given Rlackford as compensation for the loss of Howard. Blackford doe's not add anything to the Republican majority, but Steele does not need any help in that direction. Tile taking of Blackford from the Eighth saws down the top-heavy population of that district somewhat and does not affect its big Republican majority, for Blackford is usually close, llemenway, Crumpacker and Brick expressed no other desire than to be let alone. Holliday would have liked to see the Fifth made a little more certain, but the geography over in the west part of the state made mat impossible. The general effect of the change is to make the close districts more surely Republican or Democratic, as the case may be. though the First. Fifth, Seventh and Thirteenth are still close enough to make a

Democratic victory of robust proportions able to make the Indiana delegation in congress stand eiirlit Democrats and live Republicans —O -ii

While the general recommendations of the fee and salary commission died a. ver sudden death in both branches, little bills have bobelid tip to increase the salaries of just about all the state oflicers that were favored by the commission in its original bills. One to increase that of the state superintendent of schools 85O0 has passed the senate and will probably get through the1 house, for it is generally recognized that his salary of TiiK) a year is inadequate. But those 1o raise the salaries of the supreme judges and various other otlioial* appear to have a rocky road before them. Not a few ••Republicans and probably ail the

Democrats are "laying for them" with an ax. The great big argument •that none of these people are ever able to got around lies in the fact that they were dead willing and anxious to get the offices at the present salaries, and none of them feel like going to the extreme length of resigning. ..... o- o—

Senator Good wine lias introduced in the senate a bill designed to effectually put an end to the scandals that have grown out of the purchase of school supplies by township trustees and town and city school boards. It constitutes a state board composed of the governor, auditor, superintendent of instruction and one city and one county superintendent to be named by the governor. This board is to make up a list of school supplies and contract for them very much as the state hoard of education contracts for school books. It is given wide discretion in making up the list to allow for special supplies. The Indianapolis school commissioners and some of the township trustees are making a hard fight against the bill, but most of the opposition centers in this city, where several large and influential supply houses would find their "graft" sadly

Uisfigured by this measure. It seems likely, however, that the bill will pass, for the people of the state have become thoroughly aroused over the scandalous robbery of the taxpayers that has been effected through the purchase of useless supplies at outlandish prices. —o—

A vast amount of interest was evinced in the meeting of the state board of commerce held for the purpose of passing on the municipal government bill prepared by a committee originating in this body. There were mayors, city attorneys and other city officials in attendance from all over the state. The bill is modeled closely after the charters of Indianapolis, Evansville and Fort Wayne, all of which are essentially the same, confining the council to legislative functions and giving to the mayor autocratic powers and complete responsibility in the administration of city affairs. The administrative and legislative details of the bill are worked out admirably, but a whole lot of us are beginning to have serious doubta about the fundamental theory of theso reform charters. The autocracy there set up has given us a Taggart in Indianapolis and a Sehcrer in Fort Wayne, gentlemen that have given and are giving these cities the worst government they have ever had. The autocratic power given to the mayor enables him to build up a machine that is certainly invincible within his party, and how strong it is against attack from without is evidenced by the fact that Taggart has twice been re-elected, while Indianapolis has been going Republican in all other elections right along. If ibis plan of municipal government is to work well, it must be limited by some plan of civil service that will take from the mayor his despotic power of discharge, as well as employment, of all city employes, police, firemen, etc.

The investigations of the women's prison and the .Jeffersonville reformatory have started up in active shape, but have not yet developed anything. The sessions of the committeees conducting them are open to the public and everything is given the widest possible publicity. The managers ol the institutions are responding with alacrity to all calls for data or information of any kind, and if the Democrats succeed in their object of gaining political capital out of the investigations, I miss my guess. The prisons and benevolent institutions of Indiana have taken very high rank in recent years, and a thorough inspection of their methods is likely to merely add to their good name. —o—o—

Anti-trust legislation is getting to a point where it is possible to prognosticate something about it. But one such bill has been introduced in the senate, and that by Senator Agnew. It is a very stringent measure, and would not merely prevent combinations of corporations, but labor unions, farmers' organization for buying and selling and all that. It is being actively opposed by insurance, wholesale and labor interests, but will probably pass the senate, though its provisions may be modified somewhat. The house has killed a large number of such bills, and now but Two remain, those of Mr. Slack and Mr. Cooper. Slack's bill will probably be killed on second reading this week and Cooper's measure pressed for passage. It prevents the freezing out of small concerns or the business of buying plants and dismantling them. It is probable that after the Agnew and Cooper bill have passed the senate and bouse a joint caucus will either select one or the other or make a combination of the two, to be put through both branches and sent to tiie governor.

There is general determination to pass a valid anti-trust law. but there is no disposition to enact a sweeping measure that will disturb and cripple all business in lie stale. --(—o—•

Tiie lion. Kph Inman. Democratic leader of the senate, in milking one of his "walloping"' speeches against insurance companies a few days ago. declared that an insurance agent had once come inio his olliee and made him believe the moon was made of green cheese. This is not surprising, for the llou. Kph is about the "easiest mark"' in ibe senate. He has been dying for a chance to talk about the burden of taxes on the poor farmer for a nionlh, and a few days ago be got his chance rather unexpectedly. Senator Corr came strolling up to his desk and told him tnui a little bill would com? up in tin? near future which he hoped he would not antagonize. "I am very anxious to get it through," said lie, "and I fear that if you make one of your telling speeches against it it will have a hard time."

Tiie Hon. Epli smiled at the compliment complacently and promised that since Corr was personally interested in the matter he would refrain from crushing it with the power of his eloquence. An hour or two later the bill to increase the salary of the superintendent of instruction came up and Inman fell into furious activity scratching down notes for a scathing speech against the measure. Corr came strolling up again and calmly remarked that that was the bill he had promised to let alone. "What," gasped the Hon. Eph, "do you mean to tell me that I promised not to antagonist this robbery?" "That's what," replied Corr, grimly.

With one desperate dash Inman tore up his notes and rushed from the senate chamber, feeling that he had missed the opportunity of his life.
