The Ferret Again

The tax ferret business baa stuck its head up again. A bill has been introduced in this legislature ostensibly to legalize the tax ferret contracts that were declared illegal by the supreme court in 1909. The supreme court declared substantially that these contracts were in violation of the public policy and that the assessors and other officers of the county were the ones to collect the taxes and that that was their business. Whatever the law may be in the case Wayne county has freed itself from tho tax ferret business for a while and is well rid of it. The nature of the business with its constructive blackmail, its induce-" ments for graft, its absolute unfairness, its possibilities for purchasing. Immunity the irregularities of its compromises all these are well known to the people of the county. - The bill introduced by Senator Woods of Lafayette is not at all clear in its meaning and It may possi-bly serve' to legalize the whole traffic which has grown out of an irregular and inequitable tax law. We hope the tax laws of the state will soon be changed on a fairer basis than they now exist in such a way that there will be less double taxation and a fairer distribution along what may be caled legitimate" lines so that the assessors of the various counties will have a better condition of things to work with. But that there should be a continuance of a system which amounts to blackmail, induces and encourages sequestration, which drives men and capital out of the state, which brings on corruption and in the end establishes a system which is as repugnant to American Institutions as "protection" for vice in cities Put the tax ferret out of business permanently!

North D Street

If any street in Richmond ever needed paving it is North D street. You only have to look at the sea of mud which stretches from tho foot of Fort Wayno avenue to the Doran bridge to know it. AH th heavy hauling in the city is entered there at the juncture of the freight depots and the entrance to the city from the northwest and west it is the logical center of the whole industrial and commercial life of the town. It Is really the back door of Richmond. No one who looks at that street very long but will realize that it not only will have to be paved but will have to be paved with a more durable material brick. When it is done it ought to bo done right

Heart to Heart Talks. By EDWIN A. NYE.

This Is My 68th Birthday

It is another.illustratlon of the bad system of street paving laws in In'diana that we are seeing.. Some more of this resident property owner business another side light in the experience that Richmond had with that law at the time of the asphalt fight. Whatever the eccentricities of the law be and it Is known of all men that they are eccentric it seems to us that the main traveled streets which are used by everyone like Main and Eighth and North E, ought to be paid for out of the public fund rather than by the property owners. Indeed, going farther, the streets of a town ought to be paid for out of a general fund because they are owned in common. The whole thing is as outworn and antiquated as our road system, which dates back to the middle ages and of which this is a direct outgrowth.

Of course the men who have paid for their improvements in front of their houses may cry that such a proceeding would be an injustice to them but perhaps they have already been done an injustice. Other people may say also that the property which abuts a busy thoroughfare will eventually be very valuable perhaps. No one can follow the rise and fall of real estate its beginnings or its endings, with any deflnlteness. 1 v All that anyone can ask is that justice and the law may be made as much Identical as possible it may be impossible but the whole interest of the town demands that the street be paved and as quickly and well as possible.

Railroad Commission Gets More Working Capital. '(Palladium Special)

Indianapolis, Jan. 19. The Indiana

railroad commission is due for an in

crease of $7,000 in Its appropriation

for 1911 and 1912, if the legislature follows the recommendations of the visiting committee. This will make its total appropriation $40,000. New inspectors In the traffic and safety departments are desired, as the amount of business transacted by the public with the commission is increasing. More clerical aid Is also ought. The commission In its report anticipates the broadening of its power, which is being sought by the Indiana manufacturers and shippers -associat-tlon. "The legislature has heretofore and mar t this session enact laws requiring extra work of the commission without making any further appropriations for it," says the report.

MOTORS INCREASE $500 Needed by Sec. of State -Because of Fact.

(Palladium Special) Indianapolis, Jan. 20. The wonder ful increase in the use of motor vehicles in Indiana has made it necessary for Secretary of State Ellingham to ask for an Increased appropriation to run the licensing department of his office. The visiting committee recommends that' the amount be increased from $200 to $500 annually. This fund is used in buying license tags and employing extra help in the department during the rush season. The annual report of former Secre

tary of State Sims shows that $5,250 was received In motor license fees

during the months of April, May and

June of 1910, as against $2,951.50 for

the same months of the previous year.

For the past two years the $200 appropriation has been insufficient and if.

was necessary to take money from the governor's contingent fund to carry on

the work of the department.

THE VANDCRBILT TURKfcYS. ' As the French would say, "It is to laugh. A reputable New Tork newspaper tells how one of the Vanderbilts had two men watching two turkeys which the Vanderbilts were to discuss on Thanksgiving day. One of the men was on the day watch and the other ou the night shift. And the "deathwatch" of the turkeys included their fit feeding and exercise. A proper occupation, truly, for two ablebodied citizens who might better have been plowing a field or digging a ditch or making shoes or garments, but- ' What would you? Of course nobody watched the turkey that you and I helped to eat on Thanksgiving were we so lucky. That gobbler gobbled at- bis own sweet wiL almost to the day of the sacrifice. But then our stomachs are but plebeian. And perhaps there is nothing more foolish iu watching two turkeys than in the employment by the lords of Europe of their game wardens and foresters and keepers of the horse and masters of the hounds and all that retinue of retainers that cater to the pleasure of "the nobility." But Note the fact. The Vanderbllt must pay good wages to the men who fed and sat up with his turkeys. And the European aristocracy must pay its retainers. It was not always so. In France a Lundred years ago peasants were brutally punished if they did not stand by the side of the ponds at night with flails and beat the waters so that the croaking of the frogs might not disturb their masters' sleep. For which cruelty and other unspeakable atrocities tho French grandees dearly paid later at the guillotine. Yes, the world grows better. Doubtless there always will be the foolish rich, but nevermore will there be starving slaves of the foolish rich. Let us hope always provided some prowler with, appreciation failed to get the.turkeys while the hired guard slept that the Vanderbilts enjoyed their turkeys. And certainly their digestion waited upon an appetite no keener than that of the two watchers when they got theirs.

INDEXING BOOKS. Tho Custom la an Old Ono That Do volopod Rather Slowly.

The custom of Indexing books de

veloped gradually. Cicero used the word "index," but In the sense of a

table of contents. Seneca provided

some works which he sent to a friend

with notes of particular passages, "so that he who only aimed at the useful might be spared the trouble of examining them entire." This was at least

a partial "Index" In the modern sense.

Annotated, or "at least exnlanatnrv

tables of contents seem to have pre

ceded the index proper.

Such tables followed the order of appearance of ! the sublects in tlie

book itself. Alphabetical arrangement.

wnicn was the beginning of the real index, appears not to have been

thought of until the Invention of printing, and even then it snread hut

slowly. Erasmus was one of the first to provide his works with alphabetical

indexes. The custom did not become universal until well Into the sixteenth

century.

The first Index to an English book Is

saia to be that printed in Polydore

ergu's "Angliae Historiae" in 1S4.

An edition of this work published ten

years later has an index of thirty seven pages.

POLITICS AND POLITICIANS

Next comes you, Mr. Kern. -OoTernors of all the states have been invited to the Woodrow Wilson inauguration today. Many will attend. The Georgia delegation in congress has served notice on the Democratic leaders that Representative Brantley

of that state must not be dropped ' from the ways and means committee.

The national tarts commission association through the campaign it has conducted all over the country, has become a powerful organization and has allied with it the most powerful

commercial bodies in the United!

States. The tariff commission bill framed by - ...

representative Nicholas Lonewnrth t

of Ohio, has received the indorsement of the national tariff commission whose members are making individual appeals through their congressmen to hasten the measure's passage. The George Gray Barnard groups of statuary on the capitol at Harrisburg, Pa., are attracting much attention at the Inauguration ceremonies of Governor Tener today; not a few protests have made against the nudity of the figures; some want 'em draped; some want 'em nude, some say the man who made them must have been "stewed." Though the immediate succession of a son to his father's seat has happened several times In the house, the succession of Davis Elkins to the seat of his late father, United States Senator Elkins is the establishing precedent in the upper branch. The new young senator is ranked among the wealthiest members of that body, as he comes in for a large share of the fortune of $20,000,000 left by his father. He is said to share the family opposition to the courtship of his sister by the Duke of Abruzzl.
