Indiana upset the conference has ketball dope awl won last night against lowa who lost their first game of year. It is said to have been the fastest basketball game ever played in the state, and one forward made all of Indiana's points but two. Attorney General Lesli rules that the Memorial bill, designed to pre vent the speedway races, is uncou stitutional, and Governor McCray at midnight last night sent Ids veto to the legislature. It was held to In j class legislation, since the law wa: i directed against races and similar j sports when) admission fees art : charged. The Legion and the peopit j were divided as to whether the bill! ought to pass or not, and the action of the governor will meet the approval of many motor fans as well a most of the business men of Indian apolis. The outstanding figure o'.' '.le jufafc lative session which closed this morning is Thurman A. Goll a-lialk of Adams County. We are proud ol him. He stood like a rock fur th".:< principles whit h he felt the people were for. and lime autl again, hi proved his ability. He never 10.-t his head; he was always on the job; he was a smiling and vogorous senti nel with whom the opposition had tc reckon every hour of every day. lie voted right ami he led well. We pre diet that you will hear from Thur man Gottschalk in the future. Il' name has been mentioned among the possible candidates for governor or lieutenant governor, amt it is not un likely that he will be on the state ticket in the next campaign. He is a real man and a regular feller any place along the line. The democrats of the Indiana legis lature, aided by a lunrrHul of ilistir gem republicans, fought against increased taxes and appropriations to the last minute, but lost. The appro priations will total $57,200,000 ol which amount the twenty million for a soldier’s bonus will be. voted on by the people in the next regular elec tion. With that off there is still thirty-seven million dollars which must be raised by taxes—auto li couses and gasoline taxes. It was a wilil riot of money spending and Governor McCray and Ids assistants who forced through the program, often limes contrary Io all rules of parliament, must, answer to the people. Rather their party will answer in the next election, for, without doubt, the money spending question will become a serious issue. The record complete will be given out soon and then you can look it over carefully. In proposing a plan by which the 52,imt) postmasters of this country may be taken put of isditics, retiring Postmaster General Hubert Work has suggested atl innovation distinct • Jy constructive. Briefly, Dr. Work, who now goes to lake charge ol the Inferior Department, recommends to President Harding that all postmasters be taken out of the civil service

classification. removed from control of members of Congress, and bo made directly und personally responsible to tho Postofllce Department. The •'civil service" idea sounds fine and . dandy, but actually, in so Car us post- ' masters are concerned, it Is a plan , by which a lot of local job hunters can take a fool examination in which' "previous business experience” is i one of Hie chief factors, and from which three supposedly highest in I markings tire put upon "the prefer 'ri d list." From this group the Colth.ressman recommends one to be apI minted. As a result, all sorts of dis-, graceful juggling follows, orders fori reclassification" being quite frequent, until the Representative in Congress secures the man the wJnts. The only wonder is that under such a system, the Postofllce Department ■ has reached its present state of effl ! < ielicy. Manifestly, tile postmaster ol . Hogg Corners and the postmaster of. New York alike, should be responsible solely and absolutely to the Postmaster General and to no one < Ise. —ludianapolis Times. ... a TWDTF*AW> WffV ,’tr AWtH K.
