runs, jitj. i. strained relations have arisen between M. Callaux, the minister of finance, and the senate committee on financial affairs. The

minister disapproves the committee having changed the budget bill after

it passed the chamber and the discord

probably will lead to a lively debate

in the senate.

The cabinet stands committed to

supplement the weekly rest day .lav;

and the employers' liability law with

an eignt-ncur labor law, old age pen

sions, the gradu.il purchase of rail

roads by the state and the transfer of

the heaviest burdens of taxation upon the rich by the imposition of income and inheritance taxes, and as a result

even the government bonds in which French savings are largely Invested

re threatened.

Ine Clemenceau cabinet draws a

sharp line at what Is attainable. Pre

mier Clemenceau has abandoned

many of the old ideas for the regenera

tion of the state on the socialistic

basis he formerly entertained and now stands firmly for individualism, tem

pered by every measure possible for amelioration of the condition of the

workingman. Writers reviewing events of 1906 and making forecasts of the future unite in anticipating that 1907 will witness the most important developments in the continuation of the struggle which the French democracy is waging against the old regime. The end of clericalism, with the separation of

church and state, is an accomplished fact and no longer an issue, although echoes of this conflict probably will be heard for a long time to come, and the extreme Socialists are anxious to press the war aealnst capitalism. Led by M. Jaures. the aim of the Socialists is distinctly the expropriation of property, but no one .Imagines there will in the near future be a regime of pure Socialism in France.

Richmond's .musicians probably will

reorganize the local union within the

near future, the preliminary steps be

ing under consideration just at this

time. It is understood also that there is a wave of unionism to sweep over

Richmond to a considerable degree

within the next six months. Several trades not now organized and several others whose union organizations are

not on a firm footing will be looked,

after.

Columbus, Ind., Jtn. 1, (Spl.)

Senator William E. Springer, of Eli-

zabethtown, who will represent Bartholomew and Decatur counties in

the coming session of the General Assembly, has decided to introduce a railroad rate bill. The bill will provide for a two cent a mile rate on all steam roads operating within the

boundaries of the State; for a 1,000-

mile ticket that any one can use, and for a rebate check system by which the railroad companies may protect

themselves and still charge no more than 2 cents a mile where passengers have not bought tickets before getting

on trains.

Senator Springer returned from In

dianapolis last night, where he has

been in consultation with several

people relative to his bill, and he has

most of it already framed in his mind.

The bill primarily will provide for a flat rate of 2 cents a mile on all steam roads. If the distance is eight

miles it will not be 20 cents fare, but

instead it will be 16 cents, and if the distance between stations is only two

miles the fare will be 4 cents and not 5 cents. Senator Springer believes a law of this kind is needed in the

Stnte and he is confident there is

enough sentiment for it to put it through In a hurry. He does not believe the 2 cent rate will work any

hardship on the railroad companies,

and he will have evidence to back his

side of the argument when the proper

time comes.

Mileage Books Without Rebae. Another important provision in the

bill will retain to mileage books. In

Senator Springer's bill there will.be a

provision that any person may pur

chase a 1,000-mile ticket for $20 and

no more o$ less. This will be a flat

rate of 2 cents a mile. The purchas

er win not De required to pay $o or

$10 additional for his mileage with a

rebate when he returns the back of

the book. Instead he will pay what

the mileage is worth and then be

through paying until he gets ready to buy another book. The holder of a mileage ticket will not have to sign it before boarding the train, if Senator Springer's bill becomes a law.

This, Senator Springer says, is a great nuisance and that many times

people who are in a hurry have to wait around ticket office windows to sign their mileage when they could have been aboard their trains and had their seats. So the Springer bill will contain a clause which will not only make the mileage book good for any member of the purchaser's family, but it will be good for the use of any person who happens to hold it.

DICKINSON TRUST CO.

Dr. S. A. Markley, who yesterday retired as coroner of Wayne county, has filed his final report of inquests held. There was a total of 47 for the year ending December 31. There were eight suicides daring the period, the cases being equally divide 1 be-" tween men and women. Carbolic acid was the favorite method of shaling this mortal coil. There were two homicides. Two violent deaths were laid at the doors of railroads; one person was killed by an intemrban car and eight other deaths were due to accidents -of various kinds. In twenty-nine cases in which the coroner was called, death was due to natural causes.

R. E. Kirkman, State Senator, and

Walter S. Ratliff, Representative, will

go to Indianapolis next Monday or

Tuesday to take part in the prelim

inary skirmishes incident to the open

ing of the General Assembly. Thursday, January 10, is the date upon

which the legislature wheels will begin to grind and for a period of sixty days,

the laws will be ground out or ground

up as the case may be. "

However, there appears at this ear

ly day every indication that the hopper will be filled with bills Dresented by

imbitious legislators, but it is another

matter to predict just what per ceii-

tage of these will come forth from the

ntricate meshes of the law-making

machinery as actual statutes.

The manner in which many promis

ing bills will be mangled, torn limb from limb, as it were, will be appall-

ng, though not more so that in past ears. It is known that Senator Kirk

man and Representative Ratiff both

have measures which they will present to the General Assembly, but neither, up to . this time, has deemed it incumbent to divulge the nature of the bills which they 'will advocate. Senator Kirkman will enter the Senate for the second time and as a member

of the General Assembb, the fourth time, for he has served two terms in the House. It is understood that Senator Kirkman is slated for the

chairmanship of an important commit

tee in the Senate and he will be a

member of one or two others that will play important roles in affairs of this branch of the Assembly. Representative Ratliff will make his debut as a statesman when he enters the House, but there will be "others"

for more than three-fourths of the one hundred members of the lower branch will be new to their duties. Representative Ratiff, however, is now new to State affairs, for in the pursuit of agricultural and horticultural work he has been indentified with State organizations for several years and he goes into the General Assembly splendidly equipped to represent Wayne county in a manner that will reflect credit upon the choice of the voters. According to the views of those persons in a position to know the sentiment of legislature and the people, two questions will be paramount public depositories and high liquor license. C. B. Lester, the assistant librarian at the State Housa, Indianapolis, who looks after the legislative reference work said yesterday: "The interest that the legislature manifests in the public depository question exceeds that in any other subject," said Mr. Lester. "At least, I find this true, judging from the number of inquiries that come to this office. The legislators ask about almost

every phase of the question, and about

two in particular.

ine matter or interest concerns most of those who inquire. Questions

as to whether a maximum or , a mini

mum rate shall be fixed by the law for the depositories are most frequent. In

favor of the establishment, by law, or

a maximum interest rate in the argument that, that will prevent an unsafe

bank from getting the deposits by mat ing a high bid for them. To Prevent Collusion.

"In favor of the minimum rate to be established by law is the argument that this will prevent collusion among the banks that would result in a low

rate being offered. "Then, too, the legislators are inter

ested in the question of security that

the banks are to furnish to obtain the public funds. Sentiment seems to be

divided between a surety bond and

commercial collateral. Generally speaking, good collateral is counted

as being better than a surety bond,

but the trouble seems to be that banks

are opposed to putting up collateral.

"Interest in the liquor legislation

comes second only to that in the pub

lic depositories," concluded Mr. Lester,

"We are asked for information on all phases of the higher license question. As we have collected all the data ob

tainable as to the workings of such

a law, we are able to help the legisla

tors in a practical way."
