The man In moderate circumstances who is honestly ambitious for a political career. It bars. “If there bad been a direct primary law in operation wh<fn 1 started out I never would have been Governor of Indiana nor Vice President of the L'nited States. “Maybe some folks would say that that would have been a good thing.

When something comes up that I want to talk about I’m going to talk. But' as for me, I'm done.

TAXPAYERS RAP EXEMPTION PLAN League Asks Referendum on All Bond Issues. In a letter sent to the legislative delegation from Marion County today the Taxpayers’ League protests against the plan to exempt Marion County from provisions of the Beardsley bill, asking that a referendum be held on all bond Issues. the statement, the bill, which will be reconsidered by the committee, will be redrafted to exempt Marion County from its provisions. The letter, which was signed by Henry W. Bennett, Frank I). Stalnaker and Alfred F. Potts, is as follows; It is stated in the press that Senator Beardsley's referendum bill on bond issues is to be reconsidered by the commit tee and the suggestion is made that Marion County be excepted from its provisions. It is obvious that there is just as much need in Marion County for the protection of such a law as in any other part of the State, and we wish to protest vigorously against the exclusion of Marion County from the safeguards’ of this bill. Owing, however, to the fact that routine business In our city and county very frequently requires a small issue of bonds, to which no objection can be made, we wish to suggest as an amendment to the bill a provision that in cities and counties having a population of 300,000 or more, the bill shall not apply except ou the petition of 500 or more resilient taxpayers, and only in cases where the proposed bond issue sIirII be in excess of SIOO,OOO. In our opinion, how-ever, the bill would be satisfactory to Marion County and to all parts of the State if Instead of requiring a referendum on all bond issues, it should be callod when petitioned for by a certain reasonable percentage of the voters. This w ould the chance of petty opposition to necessary financing and yet leave an opportunity to check extravagant schemes.
