NEW STATE LAWS

The Sixty-fifth General Assembly of the state of Indiana enacted an enormous mass of legislation. Among the bills passed were a number of farreaching general importance. Chief among them is the pure food law, the two-cent fare law, the revision of the obnoxious ditch law, a law for the inspection of private banks, a more comprehensive anti-trust law, the creation of depositories for public funds, a law to wipe out “blind tigers,” provisions for a primary election system in the counties of Marlon, Vanderburg, Allen and Vigo, a law for a uniform system of management of public institutions, a law providing for the erection of a hospital for consumptives, the creation of a commission to arrange for the celebration of Indiana’s centennial in 1916, a law enlarging the powers of the railroad commission, a revision of the Moore temperance law, placing the burden of proof in remonstrance cases upon the applicant for a license, and a law fixing the salaries of county treasurers, who, by reason of the creation of public depositories, are deprived of the interest accruing from the funds in their hands. Besides these there were the usual batch of legalizing and enabling acts and measures of merely local importance. Among the special acts were provisions for the filling of Indiana’s vacant niche in Statuary Hall in the capital at Washington with a statue of General Lew Wallace; making Lincoln’s birthday a legal holiday; for giving proper care to the grave of Nancy Hanks Lincoln; for marking the position of Indiana companies at the battle of Vicksburg; for the erection of a monument on Tippecanoe battleground; appropriating SIO,OOO for a monument to Indiana soldiers who died in Andersonville prison, and for the raising of flags over the public schools. The interests of labor were further preserved by the enactment of several laws looking to the better safety of employes of factories, mines and railroads, and limiting the hours and labor of the latter. While a bill to prohibit child labor was rejected, the better moral safeguarding of the children was provided for by the enactment of several drastic laws to that end. Among these is one raising the “age of consent” to sixteen years, and providing that any man convicted of abusing a girl less than twelve years old shall be imprisoned for life. It has provided that an unnatural parent who leads his own child astray may be sent to the state prison for twentyone years instead of only five as heretofore; has made the mere fact that a man takes a girl under eighteen years old to a saloon or wlneroom, or immoral place, presumptive evidence that he is guilty of a felony punishable by imprisonment for from two to fourteen years, even though the girl be his own daughter; and has given the juvenile court power to require parents to take care of their children, reporting to the court at intervals for a period of two years, with a penalty of a S6OO fine and six months in the workhouse hanging over them in case of default. It also makes the desertion of wife and children a felony punishable by imprisonment for from one to three years, instead of a mere misdemeanor punishable with a light fine. An effort to raise the saloon license fee to SI,OOO failed, as did an effort to repeal the metropolitan police law. and to provide for closer regulation of the insurance -companies of the state. It was the governor’s vfto that settled the two latter propositions. On the insurance proposition the governor held that the bill had “more bad than good in it.” The senate passed this bill over the governor’s head, but a similar effort in the house failed. Several other completed bills met a like fate. In fact, probably never before has the veto power been so freely exerted in this state, although several measures were passed over the executive inhibition. Chief among these was the ancient claim of Vincennes university for $120,000 in requital of losses that Institution bore In an old congressional land deal with the state, which claim was allowed over an emphatic veto. Measures were taken for increasing the salaries of teachers and salaries were raised at several other points. The n general appropriations bill carried something over $6,200,000. Among the appropriations was an Item of $25,000 to erect an Indiana building at the Jamestown exposition. The cost of the sixty-days’ session was about $125,000. The following bills of general importance have received the executive signature and will become laws upon their legal promulgation:

SENATE BILLS. BLIND TIGER LAW. No. 90. Ganlard. The “blind tiger" bill. This provides penalties for the unlicensed sale of liquors and the confiscation of the stock and fixtures of unlicensed dealers and the destruction of such stock upon proper order of the court. It also makes It unlawful for any druggist or pharmacist to sell, barter or give away Intoxicating liquor except on the written prescription of a reputable physician engaged in active practice of his profeslon. Any physician Issuing such a prescription shall date the same, and show thoreon the full and true nßine of the person to whom It Is Issued, and said physician shall sign the same, giving full name and residence; the druggist or pharmacist selling such liquor or liquors thereon shall write on said prescription the date of such sale, the full and true name of the person to whom such sale Is made, and shall carefully file and preserve such prescription for two years from such date; such prescription shall be canceled by writing or stamping on it the word “canceled,” nnd no second or other subsequent sale shall be made on said prescription. It also makes It onlawful for any druggist or pharmacist, who

has been convicted of selling Intoxicating liquors as a beverage In violation of the laws of this state, thereafter to sell Intoxicating liquors for any purpose personally or by agent for two years from the time of such conviction, and upon second conviction of selling liquor Ip violation of the laws of this state, anv such druggist or pharmacist shall have his license as a registered pharmacist or registered assistant pharmacist revoked, apd the Jrnlge or court convicting such druggist shall so order and send a copy of such order to the secretary of the stute board of pharmacy, upon the receipt of which such license shall be revoked. THE TWO-CENT FARE LAW. No. 5. Rlaud. Limiting charges for the transportation of passengers on the railways of the state, providing for a straight 2-cent fare where tickets are purchased, and 2 V< cents where cash fare Is paid to the conductor, In which case the latter shall Issue a rebate slip to the passenger, the extra hnlf-cent to be redeemable at any ticket office of the road» on which the excess fare Is paid. Children between the ages of five and twelve years \thall be carried for half fare. THE PRIVATE BANKING LAW. No. 15. Ganlard. This law Is designed to regulate better the business of private banks and bankers, and provide safeguards for the money of the depositors. The main feature of the bill is that It provides for as many examinations each year as the auditor of state may desire to make. The cost of one examination each year must be borne by the bank Itself, and the cost of additional examinations are to be paid for by the state. No. 72. Pelzer.
