REFORMATORY BILL IS ONLY ONE ADOPTED (Continued From Page One.) nWfrnor and killed it by postponing action on it indiflnitely. Following this, the Senate took up the bill already passed by the House, appropriating SIO,OOO to pay the expenses of the session, and passed it 41 to L The reformatory bill then was taken up and the rules suspended by a vote of 46 to 1, Senator Joseph Henley of Bloomington voting “no.” HOGSTOX OFFERS AMENDMENT. The first attempt to amend was made by Senator Hogston who moved to strike out the section providing that plans for the reformatory and the selection of a site should be approved by the board o State charities. He declared that he did not wish “a bunch of meddlers like the board of State charities” involved in the reformatory removal. Senator Estes Duncan of Cloverdale declared the amendment would be a mistake. lie praised the ability of Amos \V. Butler, secretary of the board of charities. Senator Alonzo Lindley of Kingman suggested in reply to this argument that the secretary of the hoard and not the board should have bten named. Senator William M. Swain of Pendleton moved to table the amendment and the motion was lost, 22 to 20. There was further argument in which Senator Hogston wound up by asking \Uy the entire removal program was not left up to the charities board. The amendment was finally defeated. LIXDLETPROPOSAL ALSO DEFEATED. An amendment introduced by Senator Lindley to strike out the provisions for the appointment of an advisory committee was likewise lost. Senator Howard Cann of Frankfort moved to strike ou the provision that no donations of land be accepted. This amendment was lost. The first successful amendment, the one providing that the contracts for construction be let to the lowest and best bidder, was Introduced by Senator James J. Xejdl of Lake County. Senator Joseph M. Cravens of Madison introduced an tmendment providing that test wells be sunk on any site selected and that a hydraulic engineer be employed to determine the water supply. One of the excuses for not putting the institution at Putnamville. as provided by the present law, was thef fact that there is not an adequate water supply there. The amendment was lost. FAVORS CHECK ltY FINANCE BOARD. The next amendment, introduced by Senator Don Strode of Kokomo, provided that the board of accounts shall check the finances. It was adopted. Senator Oliver Kline introduced an amendment providing that the new institution be near a source of raw materia! for cement and brick. The amendment was adopted but rejected by the conference committee. Senator Nejdl made a fight to have tne provision that prison labor be used in the construction work stricken out, but he was unsuccessful. A House amendment providing that no member of the removal commisison be a member of the 1921 Legislature was stricken out on motion of Senator Ratts. Both houses adopted a concurrent resolution endorsing the activities of President Harding and the }Vashlngton conference toward bringing about world peace. The fight on the soldier bonus bill In the House rivaled any fight that took place In the regular session of 1921. The only opposition voiced against the measure, and the only Representatives casting negative votes on the passage were Republicans. “BONIS” MEASURE OFFERED EARLY. The bill was introduced Immediately following passage of the reformatory removal bill, by Representatives Omer U. Newman, Marion County, and Oscar A. Ahlgre" Lake County. The Introduction of the oill was followed by a motion by Representative Wayne S. Tucker, Grant County, for suspension of Jhe constitutional rules for passage of the measure. A point of order was raised by Representative Roseoe U. Baxter, Posey County, on the ground the bill, according to the title, provided for the levy of a tax, and must be considered by the House in committee of the whole. He protested the suspension of the rules. Representative Clinton H. Givan, Marion County, objected to the point of order, but the Democratic leader was sustained in his objection, by a ruling of the chair. Mr. Givan then appealed from

Organized Charity You said you did not believe in “organized charity But without some systematic way of looking after our unfortunate neighbors, part of the 13,000 families ministered to, last year, would have been neglected. —for instance: The Salvation Army and the Volunteers of America found many families in need, that would have been entirely overlooked had there been no organized movement to care for the poor. And just because the service is organized, is no reason for feeling that there is no heart in it. All you need do is to go into some of the stricken homes with these social workers and weep with them at the scenes of misery and sadness. Your dollar in the Community Chest helps to prevent any isolated family in need being overlooked, for the forty organisations in the Chest are everlastingly in the front line of service.

the decision. However, before he could reduce hi appeal to writing, another point of order had been raised by Representative Glenn Harris, Lake County. HARRIS MOTION FOR RECESS WINS. Mr. Harris then obtained a recess for fifteen minutes, while the members of the House looked over the bill. Upon reconvening of the House, a question was raised on the rule of the house, which declared the bill could not be considered by the House on the same day it was introduced. The chair stuck to this point, but Representative Givan declared the House rule was superseded by the State constitution, which declared the constitutional rules could be suspended and the measure considered at once. Speaker Smith insisted that the House rule must be suspended before a roll call on suspension of the constitutional rules could be taken. The result of the roll call on suspension of the House rule resulted in a favorable vote of 53 to 25. The result of the roll call on suspension of the constitutional rules was 70 ayes and 14 noes. Upon suspension of the constitutional rules, a veritable volcano of opposition to the bonus was loosed. The opposition was started by Representative Russell K. Bedgood, Tippecanoe County, who, addressing the Speaker, asked: “How much will this bill cost the commonwealth of Indiana?” “I don't know.” the Speaker replied, and called on Representative Newman to answer the question. PLACES EXPENSE AT MILLION DOLLARS. Mr. Newman said the bill would cost approximately $10,000,444. “That’s about what the new reformatory will cost,” he said. Mr. Bedgood then said the bill would cost the State a sum ranging from $8,490,000 to $24,000,000. “I regret very much,” he said, “that we have been forced to face this measure at this time.” Representative John Wlnesburg, Wabash County, who made a reputation in the regular session for his economy program, made an impassioned speech in favor of the bill. Representative William R. Phillips, Fayette and Franklin Counties ; Representative George W. Freeman, Howard County, and several others, also appealed to the House to sta.'.d behind the soldiers and grant their request for a bonus. Several amendments were made In the measure on second reading, practically all of the changes relating to the qualifications of the persons who would be qualified to receive benefits from the act. The House chamber was crowded almost to capacity with ex-soldiers, many of the members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization, during the debate and roll call on the bill. The final result on passage of the measure was ayes, 76, nos, 6. Those who voted against the bill were: Representatives Bedgood, Grayson, Johnson of Monroe, Kingsbury, Lafuze and Waters, all Republicans. “BONUS” MEASURE FILLS LIMELIGHT. Although approved by the House before the introduction of the bonus bill, the passage of the reformatory relocation measure was shoved to a relatively inconspicuous position by the soldiers' bill. The administration bill was passed by the House shortly before the evening recess, after several amendments had been made. Two amendments, offered by Representative Bedgood, one providing for the appointment of the members of the relocation commission within ten days after the passage of the act, instead of sixty days, as provided In the original statute, and the other to prohibit members of the 1921 session of the General Assembly from being appointed on the commission, were adopted. Other amendments, minor in Importance. were adopted also. The vote on the reformatory b'H was sixty-four ayes and twenty-four noes. Efforts to Introduce other bills In the House were stifled following action on the “bonus” bill. The first attempt to Introduce other measures was made by Representative Albert E. Shugart. Grant County, who had a bill providing for annuities for aged teachers. Representative Harris objected to the Introduction of the bill, and asked that the consent of the House for the Introduction of the measure be withheld. The House refused to receive the bill. Effort of Representative John L. Benedict, Marlon County, to introduce a congressional reapportionment bill, also was halted by the House when It rejected the bill.
