State Senator Roscoe Martin, Logansport, prime mover in the passage of the drivers’ license law to-, day was appointed as one of the judges for license revocation cases by Secretary of State Otto G. Fifield. Fifield also passed one of the new jobs to State Representative William Bosson Jr., and another to Miley Smith, Scottsburg Republican politician. Under a ruling from AttorneyGeneral James M. Ogden the members of the legislature are automatically out of the legislative positions when they accept such executive and judicial jobs. It means little to Bosson, who would have to be re-elected to return to the legislature. Martin Is serving his second term, having first been sent to the senate during the Ku-Klux Klan days in Logansport. He is a big backer of the Horse Thief Detective Associations. having introduced a bill in the last session to give them statewide powers greater than any police. Fifield's first appointment to a judgship under the new law was John W. McCord, former deputy at-torney-general under Arthur R. Gilliom. The law is so elastic that it leaves the number of judgeships up to the secretary of state. KESSLER PROJECT NOT TO STOP, MILNOR SAYS Park Board Will Go Ahead With Boulevard Plan.
