REVIEWS THE PAST YEAR. SAYS' THAT CONSERVATISM IN FINANCING NEW VENTURES HAS BEEN ONE OF THE MOST STRIKING CHARACTERISTICS. The Indianapolis Star of yesterday in a special New Year's feature gave the opinions Of the leading financial prognostications of the country and in cluded among them the outlook for Indianapolis and Indiana, a financial dissertation by Sol Meyer, of Rich mond, now an Indianapolis banker and broker and probably the best informed man in his business in Indiana. In part Mr. Meyer said: "That the new financial year new in the scenes of being subject to new .... . . governing conditions uoes not Degin simultaneously with the new calender year has become a truism. Looking back it is easy to see that, taken in this sense, the new financial year in which we are living really began last September. Nevertheless it is natural to group the financial phenomena of 1906 into the twelve calender months and pretty much all forcasts of the coming year 'are based on such a view of the matter. "The events of the past year have been momentous. Indianapolis and Indiana have had a good year. Not only have we made substantial progress, but industries generally in this State have had their full share of the country's great business activity. Our local market has reflected to a certain degree the optimism now prevailing throughout the country. "On the other hand conservatism in financing new ventures has been a marked characteristic of our financial institutions of late. Two" years ago almost anything of relative merit could be sold, but now, while deposits in our institutions are up to the full measure, all loans are being made upon ultra conservative lines. There can never be widespread disaster where investments are made upon legimate lines. A good investment, although earning a small interest return, is a good investment in hard times as well as in times of prosperity. "Ninteen hundred and six will certainly be known as a year of great prosperity, and while the prices of stocks and bonds have not been greatly advanced, the large earnings of most of our corporations have put our dividend-paying stock upon a surer and safer basis, while it has brought much nearer the day for paying dividends on those stocks which have not yet reached this much-desired goal. "With an unprecedented volume of business for 1906 and a heavy volume of orders looked for by the manufacturers, the financial and commercial interests of the country can not but look forward with the utmost confidence to the incoming year." Painter Hanged Himself; Publishers' Press.J New Yorc, Jan. 1.

Thornton Sampson, the "convict recluse," serving a life sentence for murder from Athens county, who was received March 14, 1892, was the recipient of the New Year's pardon at the hands of Governor Harris. The aged convict was stunned by the sudden news. "I wasn't expecting it at this time," he said, passing his hand over his forehead. "I'm kind a all knocked out," he continued in a weak voice. For nine years Sampson was keeper of the wagon gate at 'the penitentiary and lived in a little house in this corner of the penitentiary as the convict recluse. During his incarceration he saved up $200. Officers Sworn in. Publishers' Press. Columbuo. v.. on. l. he oath of office was' administered by Chief Justice Shauck of the supreme court to L. C.

Hoods of the Gala, and Salt Rivers Flowing' Into Colorado Which on'a Wild Rampage Much Damage Being Done. f Publishers' Press.1 Imperial, tai, jan. 1. A heavy rain further complicates the serious situa tion on the lower Colorado. Floods of the Gila and Salt rivers are pourin Into the larger river, which washed away ten bents on the new trestle, from which it was expected to begin dumping rock in a day or two. This delays work a week or 10 days. As the time of closing the break, is al ready limited this renders the situa tion more critical. It is becoming daily more apparent that unless the government comes to the rescue the situation will be hopeless for the resi dents of Imperial and Couchel'ao val leys. Nothing but the most desperate measures can control the Colorado river before the summer flood3, and then it will be impossible to control It. There is no menace to lives of the people, but unless the river Is con quered the country must become un tenable for Its 10,000 to 12,000 residents. Bank Teller Short. Publishers' Press. Baltimore.

HIGGINS' SPEECH. Publishers Press. Albany, N. Y., Jan. 1. A brilliant military ball under the auspices of Squadron A of New York, as military escort to Governor-elect Hughes, began the festivities and ceremonies incidental to the inauguration of the new governor of the state and the assumption of office by the new-state administration and legislature. The program included a military parade to escort the new governor to the capitol, where he took the oath of office; the inauguration ceremonies in the assembly chamber at noon; a reception by Governor Hughes in the executive chamber after the inauguration, and the usual public reception at the executive mansion. The retiring governor, Francis W. Higgins, in welcoming his successor, said: "On the shoulders of the chief executive of this state must rest heavy burdens, Imposed by constitutions and customs. To execute the laws, to recommend wise measures of legislation. to exercise the appointing power with ) judgment and discernment, to defend i the liberties and enforce the rights of : 8,000,000 people these are duties which try the mental, moral and phy- ! sical strength to the utmost. To thi3 high office the people of the state, re- t yusiug ,eii utm "." jvui ,UuM.,Uuw.v,, , . , and integrity, welcome you have called you. I t and wish you God speed." Governor Husrhes, after a few words of compliment to the administration i of Governor Higsins. addressed him- j self to his "fellow citizens. sarins in , part: "We have reason to congratulate ourselves that coincident with our prosperity, there is an emphatic assertion of popular rights and a keen resentment of public wrongs. There Is no panacea In executive action for all the ills of society which spring from the frailties and defects of the human nature of its members. But this furnishes no excuse for complacent Inactivity and no reason for the toleration of wrongs made possible by defective or inadequate legislation or by administrative partiality or inefficiency. Whether or not we have laws enough,, we certainly have enough of 111 considered legislation and the question is not as to the quantity, but as to the quality of our present and our proposed enactments. Slowly but surely the people have narrowed the opportunity for selfish aegression, and the demand cf this hour and of all hours is not allegiance to phrases, but sympathy with every aspiration for the betterment of conditions and a sincere and patient effort to understand every need and to ascertain in the light of experience the means best adapted to meet it. It is the capacity for such close examination without heat or disqualifying prejudice which distinguishes the constructive effort from vain endeavors to change human nature by changing the forms of government. It must freely be recognized that many of the evils of which, we complain have their source in the law itself in privileges carelessly granted, in opport unities for private aggrandizement at the expense of the people recklessly created. In failure to safe-uaj-d. our nublia interests hx. urovid-

EMPIRE STATE. mg means lor just regulation or those enterprises which depend on the use of public franchises. Wherever the law gives unjust advantage, wherever it fails by suitable prohibition or regxilation to protect the interests of the people, wherever the power derived from the state is turned against the state there is not only room but urgent necessity for assertion cf authority of the state to enforce the common right. We are a government of laws and not a government of men. ,Ve subordinate individual caprice to defined duty. The essentials of our liberties are expressed in constitutional enactments removed from the risk of temporary agitation. But the security of our government depsite its constitutional guarantee is found in the Intelligence and public spirit of its citizens and in its ability to call to the work of administration men of singleminded devotion to the public interests, who make unselfish service to the state a point of knightly honor. If In administration we make the standard efficiency and not partisan advan tage, if in executing the laws we deal Impartially, if in making the laws there is fair and intelligent action with reference to each exigency, we shall disarm reckless and selfish agitators, and take from the enemies of our peace their vantage ground of attack. It is my intention to employ my executive powers to this end. I believe in the sincerity and good sense 9f the people.
