REFERENCE MAN NOT WORRIED BY OFFICIAL SHIFT To the Victor Belongs the Spoils’ Does Not Reach Legislative Bureau. REASONS ARE OBVIOUS While campaigns are being waged by this party worker and that party worker for political spoils at the iiandn of the incoming State officers, and while a State of turmoil exists in several offices for fear of removal In favor of friends of i the new State heeds, there is one man; in Indiana who is not worrying about losing his job when the State admlni* tration undergoes a change. That man Is Charles Kettleborou/.h, director of the legislative reference bureau. Vary few men know Mr. Kfttleborough’s politics, and it is doubt/ul if any of the clerks In the bureau know the politics of their fellow deck's. Mr. Kettlcborough has held hf.s position for sevcu years, and he is not wor- ; tying but that he will hold ft seven or seventeen years longer, if lie so desires, for the office Is absolutely #>ut of reach of the political spoilsmen' and is not given to appointees on a tyrais of political service. When tfhe of a director, for the legislative rcijegence bureau is being considered, no rjentlon is made of politics. The boa.'A?, in whose hands the appointment res®, does not ask the politics of persons i,ho are being considered for the. be/fn, nor do they con aider any person f.O' the appointment who thinks he should, ’nave the place because of faithful par.-y service. When the ar.pvdntment of a director is made it Is dor t so on the basis of merit of tile appointea, and on that basis only. The reasons '.or this are obvious. Perhaps r,o one office in the Statehouse has more it, do in one day's time than hat the 'ti’-ector of the legislative reference ba.vru, and perhaps no other officer's wi,rit is as fascinating and really enjoyable as is Mr. Kettleborongh's. “Tb e work is practically different each day," yay s Mr. Kettieborougb. “One men w il' ’oe in here talking to me on some ® u Jj'-'ct or other, and the next person wh/, comes In will have an entirely different subject to talk abont. “But our work is not all talkiug. We prepare reports for ihe year book, aid in preparation o r hills for the T-eglslature and do all sorts of research work." M h’.le all Sl.>te offices are supposed to have a welcome sign out for members of the political party, opposite of the incumbent, the Legislative Reference Bureau is one office where the welcome exists on the inside as well as the outside. This is the reasons politics is never mentioned about the reference bureau office. A IVmocrntic member of the Legislatnre may call at the reference bureau and ask for literature relative to a bill which be is preparing for submission to the Legislature. This Democratic member knows nothing of the politics of Mr. Kettleborough or any of the clerks in the bureau, and be therefore knows he is receiving the same consideration at the hands of the clerks as would any other member of the assembly who might call. -*Mr. Kettleborough's busiest hour is right around time for the Legislature to convene. It is up to him to gather all data relative to bil.s proposed by some members of the Assembly, and have It on hand at a moment's notice. He must keep in touch with work of other States in regard to progressive legislation and have the data on other State's work ready for the perusal of the Indiana solons. So thorongh is Mr. Kettleborough's knowledge of the Indiana LegUlatoie that he .-an toil offhand every bill that-! has been introduced in the Assembly in the par-t seven years. He has a thorough knowledge of the contents of every bill, and is personally acquainted with the members of each assembly during the time lie has been connected with tlie Legislative Reference Bureau. Whenever any member of the Legislature wants any information on any subject relating to legislation all he has j to do is to ask Charley Kettleborough, ! and he can find out. I

HOOSIER COAL CONTROL PLAN IS UNDER FIRE (Continued From Page One.) country have been looked after as fast as the one rater* could do so. With Increased production, prices of soft coal at the mines, wherever they were high. have been brought dawn. While there may not he bn over-abund-ance of coal during the coming winter, there will bu enough for all actual wants and at reasonable prices. ALL DIFFICULTIES MAY NOT BE SEEN. The National Coal Association recognizes that the public may not fully comprehend all of the difficulties and com plications involved In the production and distribution of coal over the country. But the nubile may be assured thnt leaders of the industry have bent every effort to accomplish the one thing thnt was es scntinl—to secure an increased car supply that would assure increaaed production and that they have cooperated in every way with the railroads and the Interstate Commerce Commission to bring this about. The fact that their efforts have borne tangible results the public will come to realize, once the stress of winter weather sets in. Had it not been for the energetic, persistent efforts of the operators, working through the National Coal Association, the whole country during this winter undoubtedly would have faced a calamitous soft coal shortage.

The strain of personally delivering a jiicsss to th • ass'-ffibled houses always 1 lias been terrific for the President, even in the days befoie ihe wsr. The president /himself is keenly desirous of delivering his message in person. It remained u question today whether he would follow out his personal desires, or acquiesce in the wishes of friends thnf he remain In the White House and leave to a reading clerk the task of Intoning his last big coromuaica.llon. Whether the President does or does 1 not go to the Capitol, he will, in un, event, receive the usual House and Senate delegations which will call at the White House on Monday to inform him that the Congress is assembled, and to ask whether there is any business to lay l>efore it. Last year, because of the President's illness, he addressed the opening of Congress by letter and transmitted his message to be read by clerk. MESSAGE COMPLETED. The message Itself was practically completed today. It probably will be sent to the printer late this afternoon. It is doubtful whether copies of It will be available for the newspapers before late Monday afternoon. Thre probably Is not a man In WashI ington today familiar with what it contains. The President has written tt himself almost aione. Secretary of State ; Colby has been his one assistant In its i preparation, and Colby is today aboard a warship bound for South America on an official mission.
