HAY6E EXTRA SESSION Will DID MX LAW

Continued From Page On*.

the farmers have organized against this law, although the republican leaders are trying to raise the valuation of all corporate and business property so high that the taxes of the farmer will be lowered. It seems that the» farmers are not so keen about this law as the republican leaders are wont to remark. It may require a lot of shrewd work on the part of Governor Goodrich, "Doc" Ed Wasmuth, chairman of the republican state committee, and other leading republicans to preserve this sainted enactment which is just about as popular with the business men as hydrophobia.

Reports are coming also that Indicate an effort may be made to repeal the county unit highway law undei which millions and millions of dollars might be squandered. It will be necessary to amend this lav before it will be worth anything to the state. The governor suggests a needed amendment, but there is likelihood that some of the solons will decide that the time Is ripe for "shooting the entire pot" and ask for Its repeal.

Mr. Hays' Interests#

It In not known whether Will H. Bays will desert his desk as chairman of the republican national committee to attend the special session in which he will naturally have a deep interest inasmuch as he. is a candidate for governor and is slated for nomination Without opposition. His friends like tc say that he didn't pay any attention to the regular session l^st winter.

However, lie may come here and exercise a guiding hand in an effort that no more mistakes may be made. The governor has adopted a laudable plan to cut the session short, and man members are inclined to co-operate with him. He is not half as much tc blame as some of the party leaders for the necessity existing for a special session. If his own party in the house and the senate had followed his recommendations last winter and appropriated sufficient funds for the state institutions, the state could have woralong without an extra session except for the ratification of the equai suffrage amendment, which could b« accomplished in less than ojje day.

There is plenty of money in the treasury to pay the bills at all of the state institutions, but the appropna» tlons are insufficient. The republiacn legislature last winter put the state administration in the position of a mar. who has plenty of money in the bank but who is too "tight" to write a check to pay his debts. However, some of the leaders had to ''grandstand" as reformers, money savers and watchdog! of the treasury, and they, have placed their party in JBL pretty pickle. Nc wonder they a,re worrying about a special session which everyone, including the governor, knows could have been avoided by good manage.nient.

It is thought that possibly, under the circumstances, Hays may decide to take a little run out here from New York to show thfe "boys" how to manage a legislature so that extra sessions Will not be required to correct

errors.

An Eye on Bush.

The special session will give Lieut. Governor Bush another chance to get his "evens" with Governor Goodrich and the state machine. Bush has no love for either and it is suspected that the leaders were congratulating themselves that they were through with him, but they are not, as no one who knows Bush doubts that he will have something to say during the session. It may not carry much weight, but it is liable to be more or less annoying. The republican leadership in the senate will be the same that it was at the regular session which means that it will not be impressive.

There isva contest for the speakership which J£s§e Eschbach was forced to vacate when he became clxaixman Of the stattt accounting board, .The active candidates are Representatives Frank Kimmel, of Lafayette John Wiltenbcger, of Muncie, and Charles llendenhall, of Camby. Others mentioned are Glenn Harris, of Lake county, and Dick Vesey, of Fort "Wayne. The state organization has shown a disposition to say who shall be speaker and Governor Goodrich has also his choice. The republicans probably Will hold a caucus here a night or two before the session is convened.

What Sentiment It*

iVnen Governori Goodrich recently Vrote the members of the legislature submitting his program and askinfe for an agreement to have nothing else considered he took the democrats into ccasideration. He wrote to all of the emocratic legislators and they are replying along with the republicans. In fact, all of the democrats who have written the governor have stated that the shorter the session the better. They favor the ratification of the suffrage amendment and will interpose no opposition to the request of the governor for larger appropriations for the state institutions and for amendment of laws that Were passed last winter, but which were not enrolled properly.

If the governor runs afoul of trouble he will encounter it among the members of his own party who are not keen on the special session idea end who are sore over some of the laws which the governor would like tn have corrected.

The report from' ft. Wayne that Sudge Owen N. Ileaton may become a candidate for governor has aroused no more than passing interest among the members of the republican machine who say quietly that if the Judge cares to nick his head against a stono wall that it is his own sweet privilege. They look upon him as a high-private in the rear ranks who should be satisfied to be called into the inner sanctums now-and-then and

asked for his advice upon questions already settled. They have nothing against him but they are not for him for governor and will take prompt measures if he dares to bob up for tlia nomination which has been set aside for Hays.

The only thing1 worrying them is that if Judge Heaton should become a candidate it might encourage Warren T. McCray and others to enter the race in which case it might be a little difficult to suppress the opposition. However, they do not believe that Judge Heaton will become a candidate as they are prepared to show him why he should "listen to reason." His ambitious friends may as well prepare to act as the pallbearers for his boomlet.

The Women's Vote.

Chairman Edmund Wasmuth is finding it more difficult than he anticipated to start an organization among the women. He has his executive, advisory and state committees of women. In fact he is top heavy with managers—or is it "manageresses," but what he looks for with longing eyes is a competent woman to take charge of the headquarters and to remain on the job all the time.

He has been trying to employ a woman to become executive secretary. He has two or three in mind and will open headquarters for the women as soon as the appointment is made. However, neither the republican nor the democratic state committees are planning to do much organization work among the women during the hot weeks of July and August. A start will be made in September and the outcome will b6 tWatched with much interest.

It is the theory of many c*Jd timers on both sides that the average woman will vote with her husband—regardless of her own views. However, some of the wise men who have studied things are not inclined to this opinion. Governor Goodrich, who is a sharp observer, credits the women with much political independence and is not sure that a majority of them are going to vote with their husbands or brothers. The negro women may be expected to vote the republican ticket without urging. They are said to be even more partisan than the negro males, but it is different among the whites.

It is likely that a great deal of propaganda will be disseminated by both the republican and democratic state organizations among the women during the next few months. It will be interesting to see whether the women generally demand more intolerant laws than have been enacted to curb "personal liberty."

Forn#rly it seemed to be the common belief that the women were just crazy dbout prohibition and against Sunday amusements. It is taken for granted that a vast majority of the women in Indiana would veto efforts to restore the open saloon as it formerly thrived, but there is reason to say that the women generally—especially in the cities—are opposed to properly conducted Sunday amusements. There is a large and constantly increasing class of. women who are employed in factories, offices and mercantile establishments who are demanding an opportunity for Sunday amusement such as legitimate Sunday movies and Sunday theaters. Now that they have the vote they probably will make good use of it during the future legislatures to obtain more liberal legislation.

More "Liberty" Idea.

One of the most interesting features of the political situation in Indiana at this time is the rumbling against the intolerant legislation that is being enacted at Washington and by state legislatures. It would not be surprising if the tendency manifested by the anti-saloon league and kindred organizations to dictate to people too far will, within a short while, have more to do with breaking down party lines than anything else. In fact, the number of men who are saying they never will vote again except with a liberal party—not a saloon or whiskey party —is growing rapidly. They are as numerous among the republicans as among the democrats and their future political course .will, bear watching
