SOPREME COURT COME NOW

Expense df Deciding a Case Fifteen^ears Ago Was $56, Today It Is About $228 *

VOTERS WONDERING WHY. Democrats CompJete Congressional Nominations by Naming Congressman Morrison in the Ninth. (Staff Correspondence r Indianapolis.—lt costs $228 to decide a case in the Republican Supreme Court of Indiana today. Fifteen years ago it cost only $56. Why ? . This is a question that interests the lawyers who have compiled figures showing this to be a fact. It interests, as well, the people of Indiana who have to support the court and who have been inclined to critic ise it because of their inability to obtain justice there when opposed by the corporations. During a period of four aud onehalf years, from January. 1889. to June. 1893. the Supreme Court decided 2,075 cases, at a cost—of—f 104.64760. The cost per case was about $56. During an equal period, ending in 1909 the Supreme Court decided 799 cases, at a cost of $163,000 This is an average of $228 for each case. This average is obtained in the following manner: In four and one-half years 799 cases were decided. Make it *OO for convenience, in nine years the judges would decide twice as many, or 1600 cases. In one year the average would be one-ninth of 1.600. or ITS cases. The total appropriation for the period was $163,000. or an average oi $40,750 aarauully. Dividing $40,750 by 178. the : • suit is $228. Lawyers are pointing to the fact that fifteen years ago the Supreme Court judges were compelled to write their opinions in longhand 'and were without the help- of stenographers in the purely mechanical features of their work. With modern conveni-

enees the court is costing more and doing less. The terms of two of these Republican judges. Oscar H. Montgomery and John V. Hadley, are expiring, and they are opposed for ~e-elec-tion by Judges Charles E. Cox of i Indianapolis apd Douglas Morris, of Roshville. Democrats. Congressmen An Nominated. The nomination of Congressman Martin A. of Frankfort. for a second term in Congress by the •emocrats of the Ninth District at Lebanon last Saturday completed the Democratic congressional ticket, nominations have been made in every other district Congressman Morrison, in his speech of acceptance, paid especial attention to the tariff, the dollar-a-day p*"«rtQT» for old soldiers, the postal savings bill and Bepubllcan extravagance. Ho also told of a pledge which be redeemed by voting against Joaeph G. Cannon as speaker of the

House of Representatives. He quoted Senator Heyburn, of Idaho, a staunch Republican, on the postal savings bill, as follows: "This bill is a through ticket, for the people’s money from their pockets to Wall street, and tnere is no return coupon attached.” He showed by the statements of Senator Aldrich, of Rhode Island, a Republican, that if the national government were run on strictly business principles, the expenses could he reduced >300,000,000 per year. Congressman Morrison introduced the dollar-a-day pension bill, and hopes to push it to enactment if re-elected. Evansville and Vincennes were also scenes of Democratic activity last week, district meetings being held in each of these cities for the purpose of organization. These two meetings are the first of the series arranged for at a former meeting called by the Democratic US- Jackson, and It Is through these campaign committee. Preeinct organization is the goal of the pampaign committee and the Btate chairman, district meetings' that this result is to be obtained. Meetings Are Enthusiastic. The Evansville and Vincennes meetings were attended by the county chairmen and secretaries of each county in the respective districts, county candidates, State candidates, editors of the newspapers of the districts and Chairman Jackson. Dr. T. D. Scales, chairman of the First District. presided at Evan*, ille, and Chairman Fabius Gwinn. of the Second- presided at Vincennes. Both meetings were enthusiastic and were productive of the very results anticipated Dates were set for county meetings which will be held immediately and in which the precinct committeemen will take an active part. Two district meetings of this character are being held this week at New Albany and North Vernon, in the Third and Fourth Districts. Governor Marshall left last week for Michigan, expecting to be gone until the last of August. He will spend some time at Petoskey, Mackinac and Duluth, indulging in a lake trip before returning to Indiana. Before his departure he had a talk with John W. Kern Democratic nominee for the United States Senate. Mr. Kern has been in Michigan, hut was in Indian-apolis-last week on legal business. He took advantage - of his visit to call on the Governor. They admitted that they talked politics, but said that their discussion was of ,a general nature only. , ’ ,

herii Announces Speeches. Air. Kern has also returned to Michigan. going hack to Bay View, where his family is spending the summer. Air, Kern said while here that his speaking campaign would open about September 20, the place of the speech having not yet been fixed. Prior to that time he will make three addresses, each of them informal. He will speak at Auburn, Ind.., August 26, on bis way back to Indianapolis. On August 29 he will deliver an address at East Enterprise in Switzerland county, the occasion being a county'

cepveetlpn of Switzerland county LHfuoerats and a joint convention of Switzerland and Ohio counties to name a joint representative. His t ;d speech will be delivered at Ver- - s dies. September 3, at the Ripley county Democratic convention. Mr. .Kern is in better health and the adiTiaonal res: between now and-August 26 will put him ip "fighting trim,”-he believes. The Republicans had an interesting meeting in Indianapolis last Friday, but the most interesting portion of the affair was not given, officially, to the public. It whs a , similar to the one held some time ago by the Democrats, at which plans for the campaign were made. At the Republican meeting one of the chief figures was Charles Sefrit, editor of the Washington Herald, and a member of the Republican executive committee. Sefrit’g charges, made in the Herald recently, that Senator Beveridge would have voted for the PayneAldrich tariff bill if his one vote were necessary for Its passage, has aroused the Republican leaders, and they went to the meeting prepared to demand

Sefrit’s explanation. An Appeal to the “Regular*.” His explanation was undoubtedly forthcoming, but it was not given to the public. It Is knovyn that Sefrit made the charge with the hope of winning the favor of the “regular" Republicans, who look upon Beveridge’s tariff attitude with distaste. Sefrit’s statement is being peddled among them with the idea of getting their support. But it has not had the desired effect.

If Beveridge would have voted for the tariff bill under any conditions, his attitude before the people of Indiana fs mere pretense and all the wind is gone from his sails. The “regular" Republicans have not much faith in the sincerity of Senator Beveridge, and the charge made by Sefrit, who is supposed to know, has shaken the faith of those who believed in Beveridge’s professions. Another interesting feature of Senator Beveridge’s tariff activity is the series of telegrams sent by him to his friends in Washington, D. C., the night after his speech before the Republican State convention in Indianapolis. In this speech he attacked the PayneAldrich bill tooth and nail—the same bill that President Taft says is the “best ever.”

“I have kicked the stomach oft the tarifT bill.” This was the text of Senator Beveridge’s telegrams to Washington. The fact of the matter Is that these Washington “progressives” distrusted Senator Beveridge *nd were afraid he would not make good In his speech. He had made it known that he would attack the tariff. But they were not sure, and kept sending him messages of encouragement In order to give him no excuse for backing down. It was in response to these messages that he sent his telegram announcing that a surgical operation had been performed and that the tariff bill was dead or dying. His telegram was sent in much the same spirit of his utterance when he announced that Indiana would go Republican by 50,000. "He was whistling to keep up his courage.” said a prominent Democrat. -'-This same spirit of false assurance and bravado is seen in his telegrams.

Predicts Democratic Victory. . U. S. Jackson, Democratic State chairman, in a recent interview published by the Indianapolla Star, predicts the election of every Democratic congressional nominee In November. He says that three-fourths of the people of Indiana are Democratic in their Ideas this year, and that if they vote as they desire the entire Democratic ticket will be victorious. It is necessary, however, he says, to have an honest vote in Lake and other counties where; the foreign population is large. In Lake county alone at the last State election there were sufficient illegal votes cast Tor the Republican ticket to have made every Democrat a winner. This is now admitted
