Jasper County Democrat, Volume 14, Number 55, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 October 1911 — Discovery Day Not Legal Holiday. [ARTICLE]

Discovery Day Not Legal Holiday.

Two of the Rensselaer banks closed Thursday, ''Columbus day” or "Discovery day,” as you choose to designate it, but the Savings & Trust bank kept open all clay for the accommodation of its customers and the public in generaj. As a matter of fact very few banks in the state closed Thursday, none in Indianapolis even. Attorneygeneral Honan thinks the act making Discovery day a legal holiday is illegal, in that it attempts to amend the act of 1905, which had been amended out of existence by an act of 1907, to which the act of the recent session made no reference. As a matter of fact we are getting to have too many legal holidays, and it is about time to call a halt on making any more.
