1 INDIANA I State News ! (Ireenfield. An injunction was Issued at (ireentield In the Hancock Circuit court hy Jonas T. Walker. Judge, in which he barred use of Indiana's legislative apportionment of 11)21. The acts, he held, are unconstitutional and the ruling affects the election of hotli senators and representatives in the state's general assembly. A similar ruling recently was made In the Johnson Circuit court at Frank. Iln, In which the arts also were held unconstitutional, but It applied only to the election of representatives, as no senator was to be chosen In that district this year. Judge Walker. however, declined to Issue a mandate providing that election of senators and representatives this fall be held under the apportionment of ll)lo. The state as defendant will appeal the case to the Indiana1 Supreme court. Indianapolis. The unemployment situation in many of the cities in Indiana seeftis to be on the mend, says a report for the latter part of March, made public by Kvans Woollen, regional director for Indiana of the President's conference committee on unemployment, of which Herbert Hoover is chairman. Reports to the regional director from the mayors and other officials of many Indiana cities and from investigators sent out by the Washington headquarters of the committee, indicated that in few places is the unemployment situation as acute as it was in December. In some places there are Indications that Industry is resuming Its prewar stride. Reports from Muncle, for example, say that city "Is almost back to prewar conditions." Indianapolis. The total assessed valuation of taxable property in the city of Indianapolis for the year 1021. taxable In 1022, is $092,818,300, according to a certified statement received by the business director of the Indianapolis school city, from the county auditor. This is approximately $7,800,000 higher than the estimated total given by the auditor last fall, and on which the 1022 tax levies for the city and school city were based, so that the total tax receipts of both the city and school city this year will be appreciably higher than the officials had expected. The higher total valuation also increases the bonding power of each unit approximately $150,000. Hrazil Sunday blue laws are being rigidly enforced at the mining town of Staunton. A newly organized unit of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union recently started a campaign which resulted in the stopping f public card games. The town board also has posted notices that all persons following their usual avocations on Sunday will be arrested. The confectioneries, drug stores and soda fountains have been ordered closed on Sunday. Shelbyville. Shelby county wool growers have agreed to pool their spring clip this year, as was done last year, and to ship to a warehouse at Columbus, O,. for sale. Indiana wool last year was moved from farm to manufacturer at a cost of 3'2 cents a pound, according to Claude Harper of Purdue, who spoke at the Shelby County Wool Producers' meeting held recently. He said that approximately one-third of the Indiana wool clip was pooled last year, and that the profit to the farmers was about so.ooo. Teno Haute. The Vigo County Farmers association lias joined numerous other organizations, including the rural and city mail carriers, the Central Lahor union. United Mine Workers of America and other unions In opposing the adoption of the daylight saving plan by the Ter re Haute city council.

Xohlesvllle. Farm work In central Indiana generally is v.ell in hand, notwithstanding the fact that the recent wet weather has delayed spring plowing to some extent. A large amount of sod has already bvon turne! this spring ami n goo.J deal of this work was done last wlioi r, which was unusually mild througi. this iepion. Thus far no trace of the tly has been found in wheat In Hamilton. Madison, Hoone, Tipton. Howard, Clinton and other counties in the central part of the state and the wheat is stooling out in a way that promises an unusually large yield. The clover sown last spring is showing up in good condition.. Fruit men say peach trees have come through the winter In good condition. The buds have begun to swell and the indications point to a heavy peach crop. "It Is not often that trees come through the winter In this latitude looking ns promising ns they do at the present time," a fruit expert says. "While the peach crop is often killed In April or May, yet the greatest damage Is usually wrought by the Intense cold In January and February. The Lame token that promises a large peach yield also Ulves hope of a large apple, cherry, plum and pear crop. JelTersonville. With a population of approximately 1,000 men and with equipment to keep only about 700 busy, the management of the Indiana reformatory at Jeffersonville, is virtually compelled to keep the foundry going at full speed while the demand for hollow-ware has so fallen off that the product of the shops cannot be disposed of and Is piling up at the institution. Something like 200 men are employed in the foundry and it is estimated the finished product on hand amounts to about $125,000. Formerly the labor of prisoners was sold to contractors. Later the state operated the foundry and sold the finished product at piece prices but now the output Is disposed of virtually by the state itself and the entire industry is undr direct state control. Mooresville.Tho fruit-growing" industry of Indiana has advanced in 1 lie last two years. Lauren:: Greene, chief of the horticultural department of Purdue University experiment station, to whom the Indiana Fruit Growers" association and individual fruit growers make reports, says that "orchard fruits were on the decline between 1010 and 1020. A total of 10,000,000 bearing trees in 1010 was reduced to about half that number in 1020. with less than '2,000.000 nonhealing trees in 1020 to lake the place of the older trees winch are going out. One of the hopeful factors is that those men who are planting will take care of the trees tliey plant." Vin' ennes. The concrete dam at the lake in Lakewood park, north of Vincomics, broke, permitting probably 1,0oo,000 black bass to escape and flooding the country in that vicinity. The dam was built about 1000 and had been in a weakened condition, it was said, for several years. The lake covered two acres and in many places w as fifteen feet deep. Following , the break thousands of little bass went away with tbe water, which washed out many bridges. Hundreds of bass weighing four and five pounds, lloundering around in puddles, were picked up. Culver. Led by Claude E. Gregg of Vincennes, state commander of the American Legion, more than 100 officers and others assembled here for the third Culver conference of the Indiana department.

"Farm Bloc Has Jusi Bsgim to Fight"

TXASIIINtSTOX. "The farm bloc VV has just begun to light." That is the message of Senator Capper of Kansas, new leader of the agricultural bloc In the United States senate, . who inherited leadership when Senator Kenyon resigned to go on the federal bench. "The legislation In which the bloc has been most active to date," Capper explains In discussing his plans for the future of this bipartisan agricultural group, "has been in the main emergency measures. "We are now facing, however, the task of getting into lawmatters that must form a great, constructive, national agricultural policy. "Of first Importance to agriculture are lower freight rates. We cannot get back anywhere near to normal until these rates are lowered. Although it is doubtful that there Is a great deal that congress can do In this line, the matter of rates being in the hands of the interstate commerce commission, there are two or three things which would help. Among these are: First: Repeal the guarantee clause of the4 Ksch-Cummings act. Second: Restore to state railway commissioners power to correct abuses and discriminations in local rates. Third: Enact the bill, already passed by the Naturalization and jZfy. f I'M CLAD I A NFAV naturalization and registration bill giving independent citizenship to women and redeeming Republican pledges for better economic guidance of alien residents lias been introduced in the house by Representative Albert Johnson of Washington, chairman of the immigration committee. It reorganizes the naturalization bureau of the Department of Labor, changes Its title to "bureau of citizenship," extends its scope and places It on an efficient and economical basis. Fnemies of the government are drastically excluded from citizenship, and the measure requires each resident alien to register annually at some time Golden Shears for TVTFWSFAI'KR correspondents at the capital the other day presented to Secretary of State Hughes a pair of gold desk shears in token of their appreciation for his "kindly assistance to them in their work" since assuming of lice. Why shears? Recause, Atropos, the most interesting goddess of the Three Fates, is the supremely intelligent lady with the shears who Is supposed to deal justly with the fate, not only of individuals but of nations. The gift was presented by Matthew F. Tiglie, who has been "covering" the State department for more than forty years. "The inscription on the present speaks of its motive as 'gratitude,' but we now amend it by adding the words 'personal esteem, regard and affection.'" said Mr. Tiglie. "We all hope you will live for many years and will make tiie use of this golden gift that Alexander made of his sword in cutting the Cordiun knots of international diplomacy.' "Nothing is metre difficult," Mr. Hughes said, "than to maintain the proper contact on the part of a public officer, particularly in the great departments, with public opinion. Of course, it is essential that nothing should be done which would impair administrative work by improper or

Peace Hath Victories as Vell as War

TTICTORIKS of peace and public service are to be entered on the records of marines alongside the entries for service in war and equal credit is to be given for each, according to a new policy outlined in a recent order of Major General John A. Lejeune, commandant of the marine corps. The order relates to the members of the marine corps who took part in the perilous work of rescuing the Imprisoned and Injured at the Knickerbocker theater disaster and directs that a commendatory notation similar to the marking of credit given for participating in battle be entered in the service-record book of every marine who participated In the work of rescue. Prior to this time such rdit has been -j.wn only for service

vy iw rtuni senate, revising the valuution powers of the I. C. C, reducing by about three billions the present recognized valuation of the railways. There is no doubt that the value now recognized Is far in excess of real values. "Next to the matter of transportation is the question of agricultural credits. We are just now getting shaped up a new credit bill. It Is based on the findings of the Joint agricultural commission, which would set up new machinery for more adequate credit facilities through the federal farm loan board. "Next come the problems of marketing. Today the United States has the costliest and most Inefficient system of marketing of any country in the world." Registration Bill between August and November, expenses of registration to be paid from an annual fee of ..". Moneys collected are to be set aside as a "citizenship instruction fund" under control of the secretary of labor for proportionate allocation of public schools, to pay salaries of public school teachers in citizenship classes organized for the purpose of teaching loyalty, citizenship responsibilities, and the Knglish language. The bill would Vliminate all appearance of witnesses at naturalization hearings, thereby saving annually the useless and unnecessary cash outlay of S7.2.o,noo by applicants and the economic costs of more than .sr,7.0,000 which now is imposed annually on more than o.YUhm) citizens, employers, and employees. The measure provides independent naturalization of married women and retention of .'merican citizenship by resilent American women who marry foreigners. It gives uniform exemption to veterans of all wars in American forces and recognizes those serving in the forces of America's allies during the World war. Secretary Hughes premature disclosures through newspajK'rs. "You, as citizens, understand the importance of that, especially in conneclion with the work of the State department. On the other hand, it is just as important that suspicion should not be allowed to set under way because of an undue reticence and a lack of proper application of the time and opportunity for a disclosure to which the public is entitled. "A public ottieer has always got to remind him'lf, and he ought to say every morning as he approaches his task: 1 am servant, and it is my business to see what I can do for the American people. I am not a boss, and my little authority or great authority that I happen to have for a day is not a personal perquisite.' " In battles, skirmishes, campaigns and other warlike enterprises. According to General Lejeune this policy Is based on a theory which has seldom been considered in connection with the military service, namely, that the marine corps exists not only to serve the nation in war, but to constitute a reserve of educated, trained, technical men ready to come to the aid of the country in any manner in which their services may be needed In emergencies of peace. An apt illustration of the manner in which the corps new policy has put all marines "on their toes" to serve the nation whenever needed, Is furnished in the happenings of the collapse of the Knickerbocker theater. The roof of the Ill-fated building fell shortly after 8 o'clock on the evening of January 28. Within a quarter of an hour more than 200 marines with trucks containing jacks, acetylene torches and other devices were bucking their way through the heavj- snow to the scene of the accident two miles away. Their work on arrival is too well known all over the country to need retelling. The ejaculation of one of the survivors: "Thank God for the marines !" sums up pubhV sentiment In a sentence.
