STATE LEGISLATURE GRINDING AWAY

Many Bills Introduced and As Usual Some Very Flimsy Matters Consume Time. A bill was introduced in the state senate Monday by Senator Clarke, of Indianapolis, giving the health authorities of the state authority to condemn dwellings that in their opinion are disease infected. Presumably the measure will provide that where a building is condemned it must be appraised and paid for, thus adding a great burden to taxation. Probably only the very worst of the disease infected buildings would be condemned, but the measure seems to contain enough folly to justify its defeat. Senator Rinear, of Bluffton, introduced a bill for the nomination of all public officials by direct primary. Senator J. G. Reidelback, of Winamac, offered a bttl to abolish the office of county council and confer the powers upon the county commissioners. If the senator from our neighboring county is anxious lor economy he should abolish some office that has a salary greater than $5 per year. There was no lack of new bills, eight being offered in the senate and seventeen in the house.' * Taxes took a little jump when the report was approved of a bill to have 250 copies of everything printed by tire state printing board delivered to the state librarian. Acts of the legislature were alone omitted. There will be a little extra dray hire each spring at house cleaning time to haul a lot of junk to the dumping grounds. Another measure provides that county commissioners in counties with less than 75,000 population shall -give a bond of $5,000, and in cotfhties over 75,000 the bond shall be SIO,OOO. The bill has the unqualified approval of the bonding companies. The senate passed to the second reading a bill to raise Gary to a city of the second class. You can’t stop Gary. Senator Van Auken’s measure to exempt candidates who spent less than S2OO during th6ir campaigns from filing reports was also passed to the second reading. This is a good measure as it does away with the folly of having reports in big bundles that do absolutely no good and about which no one gives a rip. You can usually depend that any measure that comes from Senator yan Auken is possessed of merit and in the interest of economy. Representative Feick, we believe it should be printed “freak,” who pleads guilty to living at Garrett, offered a bill to prohibit the killing of calves under a year of age or heifer calves fit for breeding purposes under 3 years of age. Farmers objected and it will be back to the “garret” for Feick. The proposed economy does not seem to be showing up in any great quantity so far, but there is one good thing at least, every day sees the legislature that much nearer adjournment A dispatch from Indianapolis states that a bill to organize a state racing commission will be introduced in the legislature this week. The bill will permit the operation of pari mutual betting at race tracks. Major George H. Healey went to Monticello this afternoon to inspect Company C, of the second battalion, 3rd Infantry of the Indiana National Guard. SergeantInstructor Cook, of the U. 8. Army, who has l>een on detail here for ten days and who will be here th® remainder of the week, accompanied Major Healey to Monticello. This is the first of the battalion inspections since Major Healey was assigned to ,the second battalion. The South Bend, Plymouth and Rensselaer companies will be inspected before long.

O.- Patterson, of Dallas City, 111., have been visiting her parents, Mr and Mrs. Phillip Blue, for several days He returned home today and Mrs. Patterson and little daughter will remain for a longer visit.

The marriage of Mr. Victor Comer and Miss Laura Hurley, daughter of John W. Hurley; occurred at the office of the county clerk Monday morning, Dr. Curnick performing the ceremony. The young couple left for aPrr, where Mr. Comer has rented a farm, where they will.re; side.

The McDonald hotel in Delphi, an old frame building that makes a fellow shiver when he is forced to stay there over night, was discovered on fire Monday night and damage estimated at S3OO resulted. The fire caught in one of the upper stories. Speaking Of regulations for safety, it seems that this old hotel deserves condemnation. A school for railway mail clerks is being held .at various division points for the purpose of instructing them in the weighing of the .mails which is to be conducted next month. The school is now being held in Chicago and E. L. Hammerton and Fred Chapman were called there today to attend it. All of the clerks are required to get the instuctions, being called in as seems mos convenient.

Attorney Parkinson went to Lafayette today, where the case of Elizur Sage vs. Mary Ann Day is to be tried. Sage sold Mrs. Day a farm in Minnesota on contract, receiving SI,OOO down. Mrs. Day then failed to comply with the terms of the contract and complete the sale and Sage sued her for compliance with the contract. Attorneys Parkinson and Williams are associated in the case for Sage. Some of the issues come up today, but the case has not yet been set fbr trial.

It is probable that militia companies will be organized in Hammond arid Valparaiso. Commercial clubs in those cities are taking up the proposition. In Hammond the company will probably occupy the old gymnasium, which had been permitted to deteriorate almost into a junk pile. A militia company is of considerable importance to any town or city and' should' have the hearty endorsement' of businessmen and organizations. In ’ the course of a year considerable money is disbursed for the upkeep and many are trained for the important duty of forming the seeonday line of defense. It is probable that within two years all militia- 1 men will be placed under partial i federal pay, as they should be, and | with this action the requirements * will be higher and the value to each community greater. No young f man can serve on enlistment in th® militia, rendering conscientious service acebrding to his enlistment and not be benefited in his own traning and from the standpoint, of patriotic citizenship. -

British Government is Maintaining Our Neutrality.

The Republican believes it absolutely wrong, so long as deliveries of even the common necessities of life in Germany are impossible for the United States to permit the shipping of anything that is used for war purposes to the allied countries, and we can pot maintain neutrality so long as it is permitted. The French .government has purchased 3,000 horses in America for war purposes and England last week completed the purchase of 1,000 horses in Kentucky. They are to be shipped at once( from Newport News, one of the important coast artillery districts of this government. At the same time it is probable that England will halt the Dacia, carrying a cargo of cotton to Germany will be confiscated. The Dacia flies the American flag, although it was formerly of the Hamberg-American line. Cotton, for want of market, is very low in price. Already the Augusta, Kansas ajnd Kentucky, American vessels, are delayed by England, while we permit without question shipment of horses directly to and by the countries engaged in war. If one man was fighting with three or Jour, who-had him surrounded, and a great throng watching the fight declared neutrality, would it be fulfilling that policy if the spectators handed each of the three or four men a club We are too dense to see through it.

Every 49 Seconds a Motor Car.

The “car-a-minute” production of the Ford factory, the source "of much curiosity and general discussion, is not quite an accurate statement. It is a Ford every 49 seconds, to be exact. That means that a Ford is assembled—put together completely—every 49 Seconds. But it takes two months to make the parts that go into every Ford. The important thing is that every Ford is designed and made with such absolute accuracy and thoroughness that no “fitting” in the assembly is ever necessary. There is no lost motion, no lost time. Every Ford part fits. That is due to the Ford idea— Progressive Efficiency. That is the fundamental principle of Ford service. That is the reason why, perhaps, there arc almost 700,000 Ford cars in operation—and continued operation—today.

Great Part of State in Grasp of Big Snowstorm.

M&ny parts of Indiana were visited iMonday afternoon and night by a big snowstorm. It was very cloudy here and remains so this Tuesday morning but there has been no snow. Difficulty was experienced in keepnig the interurban tracks in the central part of the state open for traffic. At Petersburg there was 6 inches on the level. At Peru a boy named Everett Morris, who was blinded 'by the snow while walking on the interurban tracks, was struck by a traction car and killed. In Evansville, which is in the extreme southern part of the state, the snow was 2 inches deep.

Rocky Mountain National Park Bill Passes House.

The lower branch of the national congress (Monday passed the bill to establish the Rocky Mountain National Park, comprising 231,000 acres in Colorado, mostly in forest reserves. Representative Mann said: “The vast hordes of Americans who now go to see the mild scenery of Europe will go to see the grander scenery of the Rocky Mountains.”

T. M. Walters Surprised On His 49th Birthday.

T. M. Walters was the victim of a pleasant and complete surprise last Sunday evening, when about twenty relatives and friends responded to the invitations sent by his wife to help celebrate his 49th birthday. Most of the guests were members of the Catholic Order of Foresters, of which Mr. Walters is a member. The evening was .spent in card playing and social chatting. A delicious two-course , luncheon was "served, after which Jas. E. Walters acted as toastmaster and several of the guests were called upon to give toasts. Rev. Father Daniel paid high tribute to Mr. Walters and expressed his admiratiorf of the happiness and love that reigns in his home. E. P. Honan also paid high honor to him who was now their host. Several others responded and all briefly expressed their pleasure at being present on the occasion, and all departed wishing him many more years to come in which the choicest blessings may be bestowed upon him and those in his care.—Contributed.

Difficult to Pick Out Truth in War Dispatches.

Even the most careful student of the daily war dispatches can hardly determine what is going on. Petrograd dispatches say: “Teuton charge fails. Russians occupy former positions and attempts by the Germans to bombard Tarnow were frustrated by the excellent fire of our artillery.” London dispatches say: "The German lines are being slowly pushed back from Warsaw and the Russians are effectively opposing the Turks.” There is no late news from Paris. From Berlin comes the word that Germany was successful in several minor engagements. There is no important change in the east. Rusattempting to advance across the river Skrwe were repulsed.”

Monon is Reducing Expenses By Letting Out Many Men.

The Monon shops at Lafayette have beeu closed for a month, some 600 men being Jet out. At Bloomington and other places the forces of workmen hay? been reduced. In Rensselaer W.'L. Thomas, car repairer, was let out some two weeks ago. His position was an important one in the road’s economy, for he was busy throughout the day in inspecting and repairing cars, and the elevator men especially found his services valuable. Some time ago Mr Thomas discovered a broken truck on passenger train No. 33, just as it was about to pull out of the station. Had the train got under headway it is probable a bad wreck would have ensued. We believe he shpuld be reinstated as a matter of economy. He moved here with his family from Monon and ■being thrown out of work is a great hardship. Now repair men are sent over from Monon and the work is not kept up like it was when he was on the job.
