FREE BOOKS TO CHILDREN

NOT FAVORED

Progressive Measure Introduced in the Senate Was Put to Death by that Body, as Expected.

(National News Association) INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 29. The majority report of the senate committee on education for the indefinite postponement of the free school book bill, fathered by Senator Gavlt, Progressive, was adopted by the senate today after extended debate. Senator Plauck, chairman of the Democratic caucus, opposed the measure. '"There Is ample provision under the present law," he said, "for poor children to obtain the necessary text books free of charge. There is no reason why books should be furnished to children whose parents or guardians kj able to buy them." (Senator Curtis, chairman of the committee' on education, advanced many arguments against free school books. Senator Ratta came to the defense of the poor people of the state. Tw bills were passed by the senate, toth .teing Stotsenburg measures. One requir ed two years experience for rail-

and the other provides that legal ad

vertisements may be inserted in inde

pendent newspapers in cities and

towns where there are not two newspapers of the two leading parties. Four bills, were passed by the house today. S. J. Miller's bill prohibiting testing automobiles and motorcycles

on public highways waB passed. Drink

ing intoxicating liquors on traction and street cars is made unlawful in Rep. Branaman's bill which passed by a vote of 61 to 30. The two other bills sent by the house to the senate were Keegar's authorizing the Indianapolis school board to take over the state technical institute and Isenbarger's requiring county commissioners to levy a tax for the support of county fairs.

STREET STORIES

The councilman leads a hard life according to one member of that body in discussing the political situation relative to the city ticket to be elected next fall. "The office of councilman is held by men who are doing their duties as a citizen rather than any other reason," he said. "There is no glory in being a councilman and a person makes more enemies than friends. Excuse me from ever holding that office again. All we get is knocks and our path is a thorny one."
