Indianapolis, Jan. 22.—The legislature lias finally gotten down to work, and it is possible to form an opinion as to the character of its labors. Thus far i there seems a lack of the usual disposition b> flood both houses with hills on trivial snbjoots. The body has been in session two weeks and only about 800 bills have been introduced. Ordinarily by this time the calendars of the two houses show 500 or 600. The tax law seems to Ik* the most popular product for the statesmen. More bills have been introduced on this subject than on any other. None of them attack the vital features of the law and most of them deal with very small details, such for instance as putting the road tax on the second instead of the first installment. Three or four lulls have been brought up to put greenbacks among the taxables, and it is probably safe to say that this will be done. Some representatives say that the most thorough bill on the subject is one introduced by Representative Remey of Columbus, and it is the general understanding that he was assisted in preparing the bill by Congressman Cooper, the author of the bill which passed congress recently enabling the states to tax greenbacks. Another subject of taxation which is likely to receive considerable attention is the proposition to exempt mortgaged real estate from taxation. Representative Newhouse has such a bill pending in the house. It avoids cutting off railroad taxation by providing that the exemption shall only apply where the indebtedness is owned in this state and provides for the taxation of such indebtedness in the county where the property litis. Dog laws are conspicuous by their absence and there is a great falling off in the quantity of ditch and road laws. Before the session began there was not a little comment on the probable need of a fool killer to kill off a whole lot of unnecessary legislation which it was thought would be brought forward. Members of both houses contend that no need for any such official lias yet developed. Barring a disposition (always apparent at the beginning of a session) to waste valuable time in the discussion of trivial matters, both houses have
started off smoothly.
-*#*--
This is the comment of a recently defeated candidate for speaker: “It is evidently the intention of Speaker Adams to make the cleanest possible record in the chair. I noted this first when I studied the makeup of his committees. On the committee on fees and ! salaries he has placed men of the most ! unquestioned integrity. On the eomP J | mittee on natural resources, which will
.12:06 p m | have to do with any natural gas legisla-
tion that may be proposed, lie has placed excellent men, mostly from the gas belt. In fact, wherever there has been dagger ! of the lobbv getting in its work lie has I placed his strongest men on guard. This is noticeable in the committee on corporations, at whose head lie lias placed Merritt of Lagrange. This committee will have some very important j questions for regulating building nssoj rial ions to consider, and the state and national associations which have sprung up like mushrooms within the past two years will have a strong lobby to look
after their interests.
"I notice this same disposition on the part of the speaker in little things. For years the joint rrlei have required that communications f.om the senate ns to the passage of bills, etc., shall be read before the house, but the rule has in variably been violated. The messenger of the senate would invariably come up
Lor complete time cnrtl, irlv.i.ir all trains and stations, and for full information as to
rates, through cars, etc., address

THE C- H. & D-
Hid Not Walt for Hit- Interchangeable
Mileage Hill to be 1’nssed,
The general passenger agent <>f one of the im|ibi tanC sy siviv.sof ’Gad ' it: ri" 1 Uenirui 1 raffle LdLe: territorv. in conversation with a reporter of the In•liamipolis -lonmul. said: "I see by the Journal of ’.V ;!::c- L«y tten iho commercial travelers’ lull for interchangeable mileage has been favorably received ami will likely he passed bv the next meeting of tbc senate. The Commercial Travelers’ association ha* spi-iit a great deal of inoney and time in pressing this bill. The passage of

enrif ^'v ,.!i ,r „n , 'tn.!!. r ; i to the speaker’s desk leave such bills as
had been transmitted with him and take his receipt for them. The house knew nothing about it and the speaker could IKicket any hills he might see fit. When the messenger first came at this session the speaker informed him that he must make his aunonucement to the whole house until that body might order it
otherwise.”
The house and senate have an apportionment bill before them. Both bills are the h.v.ue and ar« tlm product of much thought, for this is the most interesting subject in the session. Senaator Wishard and Mr. Newhonse, who head file legislative apportionment committees of their lenpoctivc tranche?, introduced them. There are a number of particulars in which ali the Republicans do not agree. They have held one or two conferences and are endeavoring to harmonize their differences. When this is accomplished it is likely that the bill will be submitted to a joint caucus for approval before an effort is mudo to
pass them.
-*•*-
Neither of the congressional apportionment committees have progressed very far in this work. About 20 different hills have been submitted to the chairI men of these committees, bnt none of ' them seem to be entirely satisfactory. This question is certainly going to be one of the most difficult the general assembly will have to deal with. Not only are all the newly elected congressmen and their friends vitally interested iti the matter, but there are a dozen or two aspiring statesmen m the legislature who are lying awake o’ nights trying to figure out schemes by which each of them can have a district carved out that would enable him to go to congress in
IKHfl,
the
bill will undoubtedly help them in sonn parts ”f the country, although in the more densely-populated and busy parts of the community the demands of business are more likely to produce favorable methods for the free interchange ot blisine*-. than e.ill hr accomplished by legislation, as. for example, the reeent announcement that, cotnineneing with the Isi of January, the thousand-mile tiekets of the ('inelnnali, Hamilton it Davton, which are sold for ^20, are aecepted for passage over not only their connections hut competing lines, and this mileage hook gives a i man the choice of a commercial terri-j tore c.iverlng over ten thousand mile* of railroad. For instance, thi* ticket is honored from ( incinnati to St. I.oiii* over the issuing road, in connection with the Vandalia. and also over the competing lim-s. the Big Four and the Ohio A Mississippi. It i* a!*‘> good between Louisville ami Cineiuati. good between t'hieago and Cincinnati over two roads, good In t ween Cleveland and . Cincinnati over two mads, good between Coltinibtts and Cincinnati, good \ between Cincinnati. Toledo and Be-1 troit, so that so far as the Central states
learn the ropes, me most persistetn lobbyists of the session, the superintendents of the various state institutions, have not yet appeared to make their wants known. It has been the habit of past legislatures not to start the general appropriation hill through the house until after the middle of the session. It is the intention of the ways and means committee this year to get the general appropriation bill in shape as early as possible, in order that both houses may have ample time to consider it carefully. -V>— No man in the senate has a keener tongue than Senator Kern. The other day the youthful Senator Boord arose to explain that ho had been excused by the ( hairman of the Republican caucus from voting with the caucus on the question of purchasing statutes, and tiiut therefore the statement of a morning paper that he had $Oted in the caucus was incorrect. Senator Kern heaved a mighty sigh as he arose. “Now that the public has been relieved of a terrible strain," he remarked sarcastically, “I hope tlie business of the senate may proceed.” -***_ “Harry” Adams, general manager of the famous Baldheaded Glee club and dll-round joker and story teller, happened to soe “Jim” McIntosh, the representative from Fayette and Wayne, standing near the Denison House elevator the other day with his hat off. McIntosh is comparatively youthful, but was born bald and declares he has been that way ever since. Adams did not know him personally, but knew who he
was.
“Young man, I want to see you," he remarked solemnly, and seizing McIntosh by the arm, ho led him through the crowd to a quiet nook back of Hie office. The victim was mystifled, but followed submissively. “Now sing!” said Adams. “Go ‘Ta, ta, ta,’ ” aud he ran the scale. "Ta, ta, ta?” went McIntosh, by this time thoroughly astonished. “You’ll do,” said Adams. “Henceforth yon are a member of the Baldheaded Glee club,” and the initiation
was over. -***—
Mr. Statesman, one of the bright young members of the house, also came to grief while arising to a question of privilege. His resolution to increase the number of revised statutes to bo purchased from 8 to 24 had just been defeated, much to his disgust, ami he rose to a question a personal privilege and ironically demanded that one of the books be placed upon his desk. "Out of order!” shouted the speaker. “Some of us have personal privileges and some of us have personal grievances.” And the business of ih • house proceeded.
—***—
A lot of rime w.us sp -nt by the house during the past week in squabbles over what should Is* the proper number and compensation of house employes. It was a regular thing for the house to wrangle an hour or so on this subject every morning, aud the week ended with no definite conclusion arrived at. The matter had finally to go before a joint caucus.
—***-
The majority of the senate is accused of having a “steering committee.” The Democrats are not sure as to who compose it bnt they feel very certthat "Czar” Wishard is at its head. They also opine that Senators Crmupacker, Newby and Haggard have more or less to do with it. The senate caucus has no regular steering committee, say these senators, but there lias been a disposition on the part of other members to rather leave the direction of affairs to these four gentlemen, and they have not been at all slow in assuming the hardens of leadership. The suggestion has already been made that such a committee be selected for the house, consiifuig of seven members. It will never materialize, however, for nearly every member of the house majority would think that ho ought to be on the committee.

i* The assertion that the County Officers’ association has levied a 1 per cent assessment on the incomes of its members, the fund to be used in carrying to success the desires of the county officers in the matter of a fee and salary law, is the subject of considerable gossip. The j purpose of the assessment is alleged to j be for legitimate expenses (printing, j postage, hotel bills for officers of the association, etc.), bnt since it hits been' figured out that response to the call for 1 per cent of salaries would raise a sum almost equal to #12,(XK) there is a strong suspicion that some of the fund is to be used in influencing members if it can be | ■d ine. <Ymriderahle indignation has i bei ri expressed by some members on ac- | count of the alleged purpose to eontrol

Indiana has had as yet no primary election law, but one was introduced into the houss last week by Mr. Van Arsdel. A bill that would properly regulate political primaries and prevent fraud there would bo a step in the purifl- | cutidii cf ptditics second only to the Australian ballot law, for there it is that most of the trickery work in politics is done. Mr. Van Arsdel’s bill covers only the primaries for the election of delegates, bnt if the subject is taken up at all and enacted into law it will probably cover nominating conventions ns well. ! At present the only preventive of fraud in primaries and conventions is the fear that the victims may holt the party and thus weaken it. UNO.
