INHERITANCE TAX LAW MAY BE PASSED
Luman K. Babcock Who Introduced Bill at Last Session Will Present It Again and Has Supporters. MARSHALL SAYS HIS LIFE BELONGS TO THE STATE. Will Make No Chautauqua Engagements During His Term Unless His Salary Is Too Small. Ellis Searles. Indianapolis, Ind.. Nov. 18. An Inheritance tax bill will be Introduced at the next session of the legislature by Luman K. Babcock, Representative from LaQrange and Steuben counties. Babcock Introduced euch a bill at the last session, . but It failed to go through. He is just as thoroughly convinced now as ever that the Inheritance tax is a good one. The bill Introduced at the last session divided Inheritances Into three classes, viz.: those ranging from $20,00 to $30,000; $30,000 to $40,000; from $40,000 to $30,000; and those of more than $50,000 The tax provided ranged from 2 per cent on the smallest Inheritance to 5 per cent on the highest class. Babcock does not know yet Just how nearly like this bill his new measure will be. It Is likely, also, that the inheritance tax bill will find its champions in the senate. In the session of 1905, Senator Wickwlre introduced such a bill that got to the house. The point was raised in the lower branch that a bill to raise revenue could not originate in the senate. For this reason It was necessary to introduce a bill In the ( house and It was then so late in thej cession that the measure did not get through. Senator "Wick-wire will not be In the senate this year, but the inheritance tax bill will probably have a champion In Senator Edgar Poe Kling, who introduced such a measure in the last senate, and will probably do all he can for any house bill of the kind that comes over to his side during the next session. The old question of a negotiable instrument, law which had been considered by the legislature for many years, will come up again at this session. Representative Babcock has in mind a negotiable instrument bill that he will Introduce. He introduced such a bill at the last session, but It did not get out of. the committee room. He has been making a study of the question since that time and will have more reasons than ever for presenting the law at this session. Speaker Branch was one of the strong foes of the negotiable instrument bill during the last session. It Is said that thirtythree states have introduced a law exactly like the one desired for Indiana. Indiana is said to be one of the four large commercial states that has no uch law. The National Bar association has been trying hard to get the negotiable instrument law passed in all the states. '' Announce Themselves. Charles R. Pollard, of Delphi, has announced that he is a candidate for member of the State Tax Board. So Is- George Wolf, of this city, and so is Parks Martin, the present democratic member; ' Mayor James Lyons, of Terre Haute, Is an applicant for the position of warden of the Jeffersonville prison. Representative A. J. Behymer, of EI wood, was In the city yesterday, i looking after his chances for election as speaker of the house. He believes he is going to land the place. Will Not Lecture.

POLITICIAN HELD ,1N CARMACK CASE.
DUNCAN B. COOPER. t Cooper is the Tennessee politician, who Is held with his son in connection with the shooting of former Senator Carmack. an offer from a lyceum bureau of a number of lecturing engagements during the next summer. The offer came from the Chicago Lyceum Bureau, which had the ' late ex-Senator Carmack, of Tennessee, under contract for next summer. The letter from the bureau to Marshall mentioned the fact that Carmack was killed a few days ago, and asked him to fill the engagements that had been made for him. It said lhat Marshall's recent political success in Indiana has made the people anxious to hear him. Mr. Marshall answered the bureau as follows: "It may be that my views are unwarranted, but I am impressed with th idea that except such time as I may need for rest and recreation, the next four years of my life belong to the people of Indiana. "I have, therefore, concluded to accept no Chautauqua engagements and will only be driven to accept them In the event that I cannot live on my salary." BEASLEY HEADS NEW COMMERCIAL CLUB FEDERATION (Continued From Page One.) made a motion to have the Federation endorse the bill prepared by the Evansville Commercial club providing for relieving congested conditions in tenament houses and requiring good ventilation and sanitation. This bill has been endorsed by the Indianapolis club and the Federation unanimously approved of it. Mr. Hanna, of Ft Wayne introduced a resolution that It was the sense of the federation that the public roads of this state should be improved and kept in good condition. There was considerable debate in regards to the recommendation of the constitution committee, that the Federation should hold another meeting within sixty days. A motion was finally adopted that It was the sense of the federation that the executive committee meet within sixty days and draft bylaws and consider matters of importance. Favors Better Waterways. At the meeting held yesterday afternoon R. G. McClure of Indianapolis was elected temporary chairman of the meeting and W. V. Dixon of Evansvllle was elected temporary secretary. Chairman McClure appointed H. S. Norton of Gary, A. E. Leiter of Connersvllle and Sharon E. Jones of Richmond members of the committee on permanent organization. To the committee on constitution he appointed C. M. Kimbrough of Muncie, George H. Knollenberg of Richmond and A. W. Brady of Anderson. Prior to the appointment of these committees Mr. Brady, who is president of the Anderson Commercial club and prominent throughout the state as a traction magnate, read an excellent paper on "Co-operation in Commercial Club Work." Mr. Brady emphasized the necessity of improving the waterways of this state. He said that the completion of the Panama Canal would usher in a new business era for Indiana; that new markets would be opened to the business men of this state and that trade would be stimulated, but, he said, to obtain the best possible results from the opening of the canal it would be necessary for Indiana to follow the example set by Illinois and use all her influence to have the federal government Improve the navigable waterways this state borders. Mr. Brady said that the Federation should not actively engage In politics, but should look after the commercial interests of the state with a jealous eye and exert its influence to promote sane business conditions and discourage legislation which would be detrimental to business. Mr. Brady said that despite the number of mines ODerated in this stato the large number of manufacturing plants within its boundrles, Indiana was not known to the world as a mining or manufacturing state. He predicted that the state would soon be classed in the first rank of these lines of endeavor, pointing out the excel-
lent transporta.:on facilities and the great amount of coal mined in the state. Petty jealousies between rival cities should be buried, he said, and all municipalities should join hands in an effort to "boost" the Hoosler state.
STATES MUST USE CAUTION (Continued From Page One.) from places where it would do the most good, and depositing it where it will do the greatest harm in the river beds. Our government annually spends millions of dollars dredging rivers," Mr. Leighton stated. He said the conservation of forests does not mean the limitation of our timber supply. In the government forest reservations, the foresters cut the mature trees and protect the young ones. Mr. Leighton stated that the coal supply in this country would last only about 130 years longer. It could be conserved he said by improving the waterways so that general water transportation of freight would be possible throughout the country. Iron is being so rapidly exhausted that if it Is not conserved half of the supply will be exhausted by 1938. "I tell you, my friends, that unless we mend our ways this country will some day stand at the doors of competitive nations, like Lazarus did at the door of the rich man's house and say, 'I have lived upon the fatness of my legacy give me of yours.' Shall this country become the Lazarus of nations?" demandedMr. Leighton. THE CITY IN BRIEF The First Presbyterian Sabbath School will give a chicken supper, Tuesday evening.

"PLANT" Acting State's Attorney Thinks Van Vlissingen Has Hidden Sum. FORGER GOES TO PRISON. Chicago, Nov. 19. Peter Van Vlissingen was taken to Jo! let today. Fear !that he might find srme way to commit suicide hastened his removal. He held a newspaper in the front of his face all the way to the depot so he i couldn't be photographed by snapshot artists. A big crowd was at the station. James J. Barbour, acting state's ati torney, unearthed a clew yesterday to ' what he believes Is a $300,000 plant" by Peter Van Vlls6lngen. Mr. Barbour is of the opinion that ! this sum, one-quarter of the realestate man's stealings, has been put away in a safe place by either Van Vlissingen himself or by his .accomplices, so that the forger may emerge from the penitentiary a rich man after having served his term. Discouraging. Little Mollie had hastily undressed and jumped into bed without saying her prayers. "Why, dearest," said her nurse, "aren't you going to say your prayers tonight, especially when you have had a new baby brother brought to the house today?" "No, I ain't," said Mcllle. "And that baby brother's Just the trouble." "But why?" asked the nurse. "Don't you like your baby brother?" "What's the user queried the little girl.

The children played all around it, of course, making faces at each other in it. Women looked conscious as they approached, and some tried to keep from glancing that way, but it was no use. They wanted to see how their skirts hung and if their belts were all right i the back. The men adjusted the!- hats or felt their ties as they walked by with a frank stare. Even the movers studied their own countenances, and a lit tie dog ran up and barked at himself. Everybody had a look. New York Press. Never Touched Him.
