NOR was the Goodrich parole record even mentioned in the special session., JUDGING from the difficulties encountered in “starting" the war memorial, there will be a lot of trouble before It is built. IP the special session made possible no changes in Marion county s taxes what benefit did the taxpayers obtain from the $25,000 session? JESSE ESCHBACH is reported to have been worn out with the special session. A man who occupies two state jobs interchangeably naturally has to undergo a terrific strain. PURCHASING AGENT RITTER doubtless feels himself wholly competent to purchase the kind of fire trucks Mayor Jewett wants without any reference to the council. That’s the way he purchased the mayor’s new touring car, yoH remember. AMONG THE THINGS Senator Harding omitted to mention in his speech of acceptance was his attitude regarding his colleague, Senator Newberry. Would he pardon Newberry with as great alacrity as he proposes to negotiate a separate peace with Germany. Same Old Tax Law In all probabilities some time will elapse before the people of Indiana realize how little they got for the *25,000 expended in the extra session of the legislature, but Gov. Goodrich himself has given them an excellent idea of how little the tax situation was changed in the statement he issued congratulating the legislature. Gov. Goodrich says: “The tax board has, under this bill, the full power to see to it, as they no doubt will, that every county in the state will contribute to the support of the state the amount contemplated by the horizontal raises of 1919. Thus, in the opinion of the governor, no relief has been granted to those counties which the state tax board decided should pay a certain percentage more taxes than they would have paid on the valuations returned as the true cash values by the property owners and the assessors. This is precisely what brought the tax law of 1919 into disrepute. It is exactly what the taxpayers complained of to the supreme court and which the supreme court declared was a condition brought about by illegal action on the part of the tax board. Senator Eisner v;as right' when he said the legislature had tried to “legalize” the horizontal increases, or Gov. Goodrich was wrong when he attempted to congratulate the legislature on having accomplished that, legalization. The net result of the state-wide protest over the '“best tax law pos- , eihle” seems to be that the special legislature spent $25,000 in making it possible for the tax board to maintain its horizontal increases and in idolng what Goodrich says will “popularize and strengthen the new tax . |ll-_the law- that was “the best possible under our constitution and the ■Ltest achievement of the republican party in Indiana since the civil

Was Mcfray? j A little iasigfc';lnto the probable c&RdUCt of Warren T. McCray were the state ever so unfortunate as to have him as gtve,~Jor, was afforded by this special session of the legislature. The republicans were in control of the general assembly. It was called in a desperate final effort to make good the promises that had been made by and for the republican administration. It gathered in Indianapolis without any particularly definite id<*a of how it could best bolster up its previous faulty legislation. 'warren T. McCray Is the republican party's candidate for governor. : He it is who asks to be entrusted with the affairs of the state for the next four years. He ought to be so thoroughly steeped in republicanism by this time as to have had some definite ideas of what the legislature should have done to have helped the state and his party. Did he stay ir. !: napolis and fight for legislation he believed should , j be enacted? He did not. > Instead be went to the summer coolness of a resort and there awaited patiently the end of the struggle of his party associates in Indianapolis. Did he demonstrate the aggressiveness that Indianians expect of a governor? ✓ Up to Goodrich . If the price of coal in Indiana is not hereafter such as to be most rea ponable, if there is profiteering In the coal business or inability to procure coal, the responsibility must rest with James P. Goodrich, governor. Goodrich declared there was profiteering, and being in business himself, he ought to know. Goodrich declared the difficulties in getting coal were susceptible to state control and again he ought to know. Goodrich suggested the coal control bill. Ho forced it through the legislature. As it was eventually passed it placed in his hands the authority to administer itAll that Goodrich wanted in the way of control over the coal operators was given to him by his willing legislature. Now let us see Goodrich fill our coal bins. | Adams Fails Again Judge roll ins having decided that the physicians who helped the Ha?tgs dispose of their large stock of whisky in sf wholly illegal manner are not guilty of the offense for which Prosecutor Adams indicted them, we , presume that these law violators will go unpunished. The Haags themselves would practically have escaped inconvenience bad not the federal authorities interfered and it is perhaps asking too much to expect that Adams would succeed in convicting less active participants in this saturnalia, of liquor dispensing. But the fact remains tbqt every one of these physicians who issued prescriptions for the sale of whisky other than in strict accord with the I prohibition statute of Indiana is guilty of law violations. If we had a prosecutor with backbone that does not suffer from com-; parison with the jelly-fish and he had any desire to place a few good spots in a wholly deplorable administration record, these physicians would not now be laughing at the law'. Fortunately Marion county will have the opportunity to elect a prosecutor this fall and the county ce r tainly has had sufficient experience with the present incumbent to desire an official who can, at least once in a while, “criminal intent” in wholly illegal practices. ms We Had a Mayor — If we had a mayor who could spare enough time from private enterto officiate as the mayor of Indianapolis, we might do what Cleveland is doing—sell government surplus food at reduced prices and thereby cut the high cost of living. The government is supplying its surplus stores to /municipalities and other organizations for sale at less than pre-war prices. Mayor Jewett might arrange to obtain any quantity of this army surplus stock and make it available to Indianapolis citizens at prices that would soon drive the high cost of food in Indianapolis to a lower level. V Cleveland is obtaining this surplus food and selling it. *, The cost of foodstuffs in Cleveland is less than in Indianapolis.
