THE COURT RECORD. Supreme Court. 17779. Southwell vs. McGettigan, receiver. Marion C. C. Reversed. Hadley, J.—l. When a court takes possession of the property of an insolvent corporation and appoints a receiver, such receiver is the medium by which the court administers the trust for the benefit of all the creditors. But the court receives such property impressed with all existing rights and equities of creditors, and the relative rank of claims, and the standing of liens remain unaffected by such receivership. Every legal and equitable lien upon the property of the corporation is preserved with the power of enforcing it. And it is the duty of a receiver to protect valid preferences and priorities of the creditors, and see that each has an equal opportunity to enforce his claim. 2. The right of a receiver to bring an action to cancel a mortgage upon the trust property depends upon the right of the creditors represented by him to unite in bringing the suit if no receiver had been appointed. 3. A receiver, while acting for a court, must act impartially, and not sequester the security of one creditor for the benefit of others who have no equity. 4. A receiver cannot maintain an action that shows upon its face the relief sought will place the creditors having an equity in a worse condition, and the creditors having no equity in a better condition than they occupied before his appointment. 18559. Graham vs. Russell. Daviess C. C. Affirmed. Jordan, J.—l. A county auditor can maintain an action for the purpose of setting aside the final settlement of an estate to enable him to recover for taxes due the State but omitted from taxation by the decedent in his lifetime. 2. Taxes are not such claims as need be filed for payment against a decedent’s estate. 3. A county auditor has no authority to attend a final settlement of a decedent’s estate on behalf of the State, nor can he be legally summoned by the administrator or executor to attend the hearing upon a final settlement and his presence at such hearing cannot bind the State. Appellate Court. 2669. Dull vs. C., C., C. & St. 1.. Railway Company. Delaware C. C. Affirmed. Wiley, J.—l. An act to be willfully done must be with a purpose or design. 2. Where a child seven years old stands on a railroad track in view of approaching danger from a railroad train she is guilty of negligence, although this railroad company was grossly negligent in running its approaching train at a greater rate of speed than allowed by city ordinance while passing through such city; the child being at the time sui juris. 3. Where a child fully understood the danger and peril incident to her standing upon a railroad track and she voluntarily stood thereon while a train approaches and was by reason thereof killed she was guilty of contributory negligence. 2744. Brewing Company vs. Jergens. Lake S. C. Affirmed. Henley, J.—l. The mere fact that a party has a meritorious defense to an action at law will not be sufficient as an excuse to set aside a default in the action. 2. Where a defendant never appears in court in the cause it is proper for plaintiff to have him defaulted. 3. When the Issues are not made up a defendant has no right to rely upon a statement of the clerk that it will not be necessary for hint to appear or take any steps in the cause until the day It is set for trial. 2722.

POLICE PENSION BILL. Mr. Swift Give* Reason* Why It Shonltl Me Vetoed by the Governor. To the Governor of the State of Indiana: Sir —Asa taxpayer and a citizen of Indianapolis, I protest against Senate bill No. 28, providing for pensions for the police of this city, and for the following reasons respectfully urge you to veto the same: First—The bill provides for the accumulation of a pension fund largely by taxation. The firemen of this city have a law, passed in 1895, similar to this, and under it the amount in their pension fund Jan. 1, 1898, was $29,834.79, while on Jan 1, 1899, the amount had increased to $38,049.29. During 1898 taxation contributed $11,491.3) to the fund, wnile the firemen from their wages contributed only $1,302.46. No limit is placed either by that law or by this bill upon the amount of the fund which may be accumulated. At the present rate the firemen of this city in a few years will be one of the most favored classes. The provisions of the present bill are even more favorable for the accumulation of a fund. The United States is the most liberal payer of pensions in the world, yet no fund is accumulated. The federal government does not accumulate a pension fund, but pays its pensioners upon annual estimates and appropriations. To pay $150,000,000 of federal pensions annually from interest would require a fund of two billions and a half at 6 per cent. It is patent that such a fund would be a menace to good government and to the morals of the people. In the same proportion a pension fund such as this bill provides for would liecome in time a prize to be fought for, and would encourage an extravagant and demoralizing system of pensioning. There is no more reason for a pension fund than there is for a street-sw’eeping fund or a fund for any other public expense. The safeguard of annual estimate and appropriation ought not to be broken down. Second—The bill provides for a perpetual tax upon the property of the city. It would start with taking about $12,000 annually from the city, the amount increasing with the increase of the assessed valuation, rhe State, in a purely local matter, does not leave this citv in control to levy Its own tax. but it levies the tax and makes it perpetual. Judging from the rapid increase or the firemen’s pension fund, the fund provided for by this bill will in a comparatively short time amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars, nearly all by taxation, with no limit set to further accumulation. I his perpetual drain is wholly unnecessary, this is taxation in its most vicious and tyrannical form. We are now attempting to secure a reform in county and township government, and yet this bill embodies the worst principles of that government. Pensions are entitled to no special exemption from good business methods. The same rule wh ch justifies an annual submission of est mates for the pay of policemen irresistibly demands a submission of estimates for their pensions. Third—The bill provides that when any policeman dies $159 shall be paid tor bis funeral expenses. $29 a month shall be paid to his wife. $6 to each of his children, and from S2O to $25 to each dependent parent. This provision is simply a reckless disregard of the people’s interest. The man may not have been in the service of the city a month. He may have been killed in a railway accident while visiting friends; he may have been drowned whiie fishing: he may have died of disease contracted before he entered the service: his death may have been due to one of a hundred causes in no w (v connected with his service. In such case there is clearly no duty to pension on the part of the city. Yet under this bill the city might be compelled to pay a whole nest of pension s. Fourth—By this billthe board is compelled to grant pensions upon the examination of the police surgeon. The surgeon’s position has always been treated as a political place and the appointment is usually an act of favoritism upon the part of the mayor. The possibilities here, for collusion by which the pension list will be padded are eminently great, and this would be no more than the usual pull which operates in politics. Fifth—Tf raising a fund is to be tolerated the burden is not equitably divided between the taxpayer and the policeman. The employes of this city are enormously and repeatedly assessed for partisan purposes. They do not dare to refuse to pay, and they are therefore practically blackmailed. In the best service everywhere employes are now protected by law against this, and if this bill affords such protection the amount which policemen should pay into the pension fund could be heavily increased. The taxpavers are entitled to the benefit of this. Sixth—A pension is the highest reward wh’ch ean be paid to a civil servant. With tlds the question of the future is with him at rest. But the pension is a public burden which must forever be carried. Before the public is called upon to carry this burden it should have the assurance that it is not to be called upon to pension the weaklingcither light-weight or heavy-weight, and who were weaklings w*hen taken into the service. It should have the assurance that the door is not wide open for the entrance into its service of those broken physically or those with lesser intelligence. It ought to have the assurance that it is to have in its employ the best obtainable, both physically and mentally, to the end that intelligent and enduring service may render the best compensation for what the city pays. This bill provides no such protection to the taxpayer, nor is such protection afforded by any law. Appointments to the police force in this citv are made solely by favoritism and usually by the will of the mayor. When the present city administration came in it turned out twenty-nine policemen and filled their places. Os the new appointees an investigation made and published at the time says: “Among the new appointees was one who had been dismissed from the police force under a charge of levying blackmail on fallen women; another who had been refused an appointment formerly on the ground that lie had been running a crap game, and who had been arrested for assault aiul battery; another who had been arested for assault and battery; another who was known as a drunkard; another who, while on the police force, had been charged with borrowing money from a keeper of a house of ill-fame, and who had afterwards been dismissed from the police force for insubordination and for leaving his post when on duty; another who had been dismissed for sleeping while on duty; another who is ruptured and is physically unfit to be a patrolman, and others still, the reason for whose appointment can only be found in their having been active workers for the election of Mayor Taggart.” Thi9 riotous sy. tern of appointments brought its inevitable result. In 1896 out of 136 policemen 58 were charged with drunkenness or similar delinquency, and 45 ware convicted and punished. In 1897 out of 163 44 were accused and 32 were convicted and punished. When this has been urged before the answer has been made that such statements tend to give the impression that our policemen are drunkards, and this answer winds up with denunciation, while the record of punishments of 1898 is pointed out ns showing a great decrease in punishment and therefore corresponding perfection is proved. This diverts the attention, but it does not meet the objection raised, which is that when this administration went in the service was riotously treated as is shown above, and that the same thing may be repeated any day. Among our policemen are a large number of faithful and efficient men, but these very men may be dismissed as were the twenty-nine above mentioned and their places filled as were the twenty-nine vacancies. A pension system under such circumstances is but adding spoil to spoil. If we are to pay pensions entrance to the service cannot be too rigidly guarded. 1 have been able to obtain no answer to any of the foregoing objections except that tills bili is drawn like pension laws of other cities. Then, so much the worse for the oilier cities. That plea would justify all other States In accepting our pauper-breed-irig, corruption-generating county and township system. You will be called upon by a swarm of advocates of this bill and I hope that they will be required to answer sptxdflcaJly the foregoing objections. I ask t’ is because I do not believe that they can be
