27 BILLS PUT IN HOPPER BY SCHOOL HEADS Sending of Money Where Children Are Held Important in School Support. LAW REVISION ASKED Twenty-seven bills, approved and recommended by the conference of legislative committees on education of the State Teachers’ Association, have been printed and will be distributed to members of the Legislature when they meet again Monday after the week-end recess. The bills were returned today from the State printer to L. N. Hines, State superintendent of public Instruction, and president of the educational commltte. The bills recommended by the committees deal with matters from regulation of children in industry to teacher's salary and retirement laws. The pamphlet containing the recommendations of the bills carries each measure in full, and a request for careful study of the bills is made to the Legislature. NEW BASIS OP DISTRIBUTION. One of the most important recommendations is that provides for increased State support for schools, with anew basis for distribution. This was one of the objects of the recent state-wide campaign for support of rural schools and for those communities that have not enough funds to properly run the school systems. In short, the bi.l will provide for the “taxation of property where it lies, and the sending of the money where the children are.’” Codification of the school laws will also be asked of the Legislature. This bill would provide for the appointment of a commission of not less than three nor more than five members to revise and readjust the school laws of the State. The members of the commission would serve without pay, but would be allowed all traveling expenses. Recommendations of the commission would be made to the Governor for transmission to the Legislature not later than Dec. 1, 1923. An appropriation of $2,500 annually for two years would be made to carry out the provisions of the' act. Another bill Included in the recommendations of the committee would provide for the levy of a tax to support the common schools of the State and provide for the apportionment and distribution of the money so raised. PROVIDES 20 CENTS LEVY ON EACH SIOO. Section 1 of this bill would provide that in the year 1921 and annually thereafter, there would be assessed and collected as State and county revenues are collected, 20 cents on each SIOO worth of taxable property, real and personal, in the State, and in addition thereto, a poll tax of 50 cents on each legal voter In the State, 90 per cent of which money would be paid into the State treasury for a common school tuition fund, and the remaining 10 per cent to be paid Into the State treasury, to constitute a relief fund for common school purposes, and all of the money so derived from the provisions of the act would bo apportioned to the several counties nnd school corporations in the manner provided iu section 2 of the act. Section 2 provides that the distribution should be made: (a) one-third on the average dally attendance for the preceding school year, the average dally attendance of all pupils in high school to be counted as one and one half times the actual school attendance; (b) onethird on the number of teachers employed; (c) one-third on the basis of the adequacy of the local support, according to regulations adopted by the State Board of Education.

Other bills recommended by the legislative committee are: Amendment of retirement law, health supervision, sum-mer-time and full-time teaching of agriculture and other vocational subjects, amendment of attendance law. civil service for teachers, increased attention to physical training, part-time schools for permit workers, inspection of high schools and elementary schools, increased qualifications and adjustment of salaries for county superintendents, giving the State superintendent the power to call the county superintendents In conference on rural school work, requiring that all teachers shall be citizens of the United States, provision for a minimum school term of eight months, giving the State board of education power to assist In the school work in State benevolent, charitable and correctional Institutions; bill concerning employment of children, amendments to the 1919 State life license law. increasing the State vocational levy to 1 cent, giving township trustees power to build homes for teachers, dealing with the problem of illiteracy, transportation of high school pupils, providing a law permitting the furnishing of school lunches, annual contracts for teachers, providing for classifying the schools and recommending equipment, exempting experienced teachers from certain requirements in regard to training, provision for holding Joint township institutes. The legislative committees met again today for final consideration of the bills which they will ask the Legislature to pass. 4 The legislative program of the State department of conservation also has been perfected, and a number of measures will be submitted by that department for passage by the lawmakers of the State. Many of these bills have been recommended by the division of fish and game. Several Important bills, however, have been ,recommended by the department of geology, and by the commission as a whole. Perhaps one of the most Important of “these bills is that providing for the establishment of a State engineer to have charge of the topographical survey of the State and to have charge of and give advice relative to drainage matters. The engineer would work lu conjunction with Purdue University In the same manner in which the State geologist works with Indiana University. Sixteen bills have been prepared and are ready for submission by the fish and game division. These bills relate to revision of game laws and further protection of birds and game. All the bills of the department of conservation have been printed and are ready for distribution to the Legislators.

EVANS TO STOP ‘OUTSIDE’ J. P. COURT DEALS Prosecutor Lays Down Policy of Handling Motor Vehicle Violations. POLICE TO ENFORCE LAW | William P. Evans, prosecutor of Marion I County, has laid down a definite policy In j regard to the time-worn practice of alj lowing "outside” justice of the peace j courts to prey on those citizens of Indi- ! anapolia who may be guilty of technical | violations of the law. I Mr. Evans says he believes violations j of these kinds should be handled exclusively by the Indianapolis police and that therefore he expects to work through the local police instead of the Justices, whose courts were made notorious during the incumbency of Claris Adams, prosecutor. Another outbreak of the kind that has proved so obnoxious to the citizens of Indianapolis was nipped in the bud tills week when a charge against a driver of a delivery wagon for the L. Strauss Company was dismissed by Mr. Evans' deputy la the court of Justice Rainey, iu Irvington. In this and other cases the defendants were forced to go to “outside” courts to meet charges of such a nature as failing to slop the motors of their trucks while making a delivery to customers. Mr. Evans made the fol.owlng state ment relative to this kind of Cases: “I have been informed that Justices of the peace In an out township have been arresting people in Indianapolis for violating various provisions of the motor vehicle law. “I would say that I believe that violations of this character should be bandied by the police department, aud through the City Court, and that the cases should not be filed in these out townships unless there are special circumstances requiring that this be done. “I am determined, however, that motor vehicles shall have licenses, and shall have them properly displayed and shall comply with other provisions of the motor vehicle law. The Importance of this is appa-ent to any one. “I have confidence that the police department will handle the situation and I shall, therefore, expect to work through it in this matter.” SIGNS POODLE'S DEATH WARRANT Judge Hears Owner Threaten to Ask Pardon for Dog.

WIFE CAN’T OPEN. ! HUBBY’S LETTER Jury Says She Can’t Go Through His Pockets. WASHINGTON, Jan. B.—Has a married woman an “Inalienable right” to go through her husband's pockets? “No!" declared a grand Jury of married men here In returning an Indictment against Mrs. Sarah H. Morrison, plaintiff in a divorce proceeding on a charge of removing from his pockets the contents of a letter addressed to her husband by “the other woman.” Mrs. Morrison is technically charged j with having violated the Federal postal regulations for opening a letter addressed ! to her husband. The grand Jury held that she violated the postal laws in opening the letter. Mrs. Morrison's defense will be based on the “Inalienable right of a married woman to go through her husband's pockets," according to her attorney, S. | McComas Hawkeu, former United States I district attorney. "If this indictment is sustained by a I conviction, many married women will be t subject to prison sentences for Just such an act as Mrs. Morrison is charged with,” ■ he declared. Many letters have been filed ns exhibits ‘ in divorce cases throughout the country I which appear to have been obtained with- I out the knowledge of the husband, and ! the indictment of Mrs. Morrison may raise the question as to admissibility of such letters in evidence.

WOMEN URGED TO ADOPT WAIFS Each Club in State Asked to Mother One. “American women started mothering the world during the great war and the job isn't finished yet," said Mrs. E. C. Bumpier, chairman of the woman's division of the Indiana Committee of Near Bust Relief. Mrs. Rumpler Is getting ready to form an organization with a woman chairman in each county for the campaign for Armenian orphan “adoption." "Our job won't 1)6 finished," she says, “until the waifs in Armenia, Syria and the Caucasus have been nursed back to health and started on the road to womanhood nnd manhood. Every woman's club in Indiana should adopt an orphan. We are not asking the women to (runs form their handsome clubhouses into orphan asylums, but we wish them to help these poor starving babies as generously ns they did the Belgian and French babies when the word came that they needed assistance.” Mrs. Rumpl“r says that Connecticut is undertaking to care for 10.000 of these unfortunate children through its women.
