BIG ISSUES Multitude of Small Things to Be Considered But Ho Big Ones -

t STAFF CORRESPONDENT I. N. SiTR.'ICf. 1 INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Jan. 4. Or,, of the oustanding features of the Ueiteral Anembly which convene 'J burday is that there ts not a single b? issue to be presented that wilt got mand great public interest througo'.u-. the ttate. This does not mean that there ai ; not a number of vital measures t come before the legislature tor tiiei" are many things of importanca tj w .- considered. HAD VJTA1. il EMTIO N!. Throughout the early years of t present century and up to the lsh session there were a number of vrv' questions before the public of Indian-. There was prohibition, woman suffrage, tax reform, state control ov o public utilities and several other ieimportant issues. Each of the problems that have been prernted to tin: legislators in previous j-ears have been disposed of in entiriety cr in par. They are no longer vital questionsTHIRD HOISH ABSENT. Therefore there will be felt the a!" nonce of the great third house. T. . advocates of woman suffrage, whe; have heretofore had headquarters in the state-house during the session, -n i l be absent. - The delegations of criurch and "dry'' organizations will not f.on the corridors of the capitol iniatma ob the abolition of the demon rum. The seventy-second General Asf-emb ly seems doomed to come rnd go without any dramatic climaxes. There wCi be a multitude of small things to bconsidered. Few of th-m will r:a above the average in respect to puolic Interest, and on the whole, wit it the exception of a few fights that may be staged on several measures, th session will be rather monotonous, it now seems. ' g. o. r. in ki ll rem KU. Another thing that w ili end to i. away the keeness of contest that ha marked some other sessions Is the fa. t that the minority party is almost nrg tigible. The Republicans will havs everything their own way. But in this fact, and especially at this time, rests a great responsibui Perhaps there never has been a time in the history of Indiana--nvst certainly not in .recent years that a legislature has faced tueh a formidable economic situation. Prom one fide a coming demands for more revcni; Many demands that arc entirely justified by the (acts. On the other ha-. i the asemblymen are presented witn the stern picture of the ta.vp.-iyer, w .1 is already displease. with the high tae being paid, and who is insutiu.that strict economy be practiced :y the assembly. Till! lllt;CKST PRnBtllM-, It. therefore, seems, that there '.vi.l be two outstanding problcma wl.tri wi! hold the Interest of the asaeinr,!y. mcn throughout the gr"ater part o" the session. The one will be the matter of state appropriations and thfpeelal local leg'siation being ej-:-manded by local officials who denre larger salaries. The oth-r will b plans whereby excessive .spending o money by the local communities can t heid dow n. The 1513 sension appropriated a fofal of $lt,000,opo annually.
