Ind., + pecord S — STATE POLICE CLAMOR The strike of steel workers at Gary a year or 80 ago at which time Gov. Goodrich sent the state troops to that locality to maintain order cost the people of Indiana something like $15.000. Ligonier taxpayers paid thelr share of this expense. If order had ‘been maintained by the sherif(’s forces of Lake county the $l5OOO would have been paid by the Lake county tazpayers. = 7 s This shifting of the expense of maintaining order over outo the state st large was nrighty good business fcr the steel trust. It was mighty poor business for taxpayers outside of Lake county. : The present general assembly of ladiana has been besieged ever since it began session by a demand for a state police force of military character. This clamor’ emanates from ‘newspapers, scamp journalists, and individuals of a certain type—the type that is always for the big ‘man and always against the small man. = { It requires no very profound in--Isight to perceive or at any rate to ‘strongly suspect that the state police | plan is merely a scheme to saddle the expense of policing the steel trust's foreign employees at Gary upon the people of the entire state. " The whole tendency of legislation at the present time seems to be enact some measures which have for their purpose the regulation and restriction of organized labor. No doubt the state constabulary scheme in one of them. :
