A Simplified. Law-Making System. It was about three years ago that The Palladium called attention to the fact that the legislative branch of the Indiana state government was obsolete ; , too cumbersome a piece of . governmental machinery to respond effectively to the modern demands for simplified efficiency. In supporting the contention it pointed out that a two house legislative body was as unnecessary for state government as two councils would be for the legislative branch of a municipal government. The argument was also advanced that under (the present system, calling for a large number of i lawmakers at small salaries, high type men comprise a small minority of every legislature although it is vitally important, if the state is to have good laws, to send THINKING men of real constructive ability to the legislature. Such men, however, are not attracted to the state's service under the legislative system which has obtained since Indiana was admitted into the union. At the time The Palladium advocated a reorganization of Indiana's legislative system it advised, the establishment of a one house legislature, its membership comprising two representatives from each of the thirteen congressional districts. The suggestion was made that such a body should sit continuously and that the salaries for its members should be of such an amount as to appeal to men thoroughly competent to be intrusted with legislative powers. It was contended that as much restraint could be provided for such a body as provided for the unweildly, incompetent legislative system the state is now afflicted with. A one house legislature's acts could be subject to the approval of the gov

ernor, with a two-thirds vote required to pass any measure over the governor's veto. As a double check for making such a lawmaking body completely responsive to the constituency the

disciplinary referendum and recall could be pro-, vided. ." , . . J It is pleasing to note that recently a number , of prominent Indianians interested in promoting

a movement for a more eincient state government have championed the simplified legislative body idea along lines quite similar to this policy. Among the recent supporters of, this plan is the Hon. H. B. Snyder, postmaster of Gary and editor of the Gary Evening Post. Writing to the Citizen,' published at Indianapolis in the interests of good government, Mr. Snyder writes : , The magic words, "new constitution," do not necessarily mean legislative efficiency. The one redeeming feature, of course, in the Ohio legislative situation is the initiative and referendum. Notwithstanding an inefficient legislature, this direct power in the hands of the people prevented the Ohio legislature from even attempting to "put over" really vicious legislation such-as is frequently attempted and too often accomplished in Indiana. The initiative and referendum constitute a great fundamental reform in popular government, but along with this, we need definite reform within the legislature itself. Why would it not be possible to reconstitute the legislature recognizing the faults which must be apparent to all? The suggestion has already been made (by a former governor of Kansas, I believe) that a legislature consist of one house with only a few members, a dozen, say. In Indiana there could be one legislator in each congressional district, thirteen in all. Let this body sit throughout; the year, studying the needs of the state in every field and direction like a board of directors of a corporation. Instead then of waiting two years for the passage of a needed law or the repeal of an unnecessary one, the board could act at once. The state 'could well afford to pay such a body of men as much as the national gov

ernment pays its congressmen, for men of high

character would be attracted to such service as would then be possible. It is true the politicians would be after the offices but we have them always with us no matter what course we take. Now that we are entering on a new era in this world (and there can be little question that we are), it behooves us to set about the task of getting in touch with the new times, the new feeling, the, new government that must result if we are to keep pace with the other nations. Whatever the outcome of the world war, German efficiency in government has not only given us an insight into something that we wot not of but it has shocked us into the knowledge that we must attain to some of the efficiency if we are to survive in competition, with the rest of humanity.

THAGDEUS HILL DIES AT HOME IN TAGOMA

ResideKta bere recall with sorrow the dcalh cf Thaddeus Hill at Taco'ma, Sunday evening. Twenty yearB ago he was regarded cne of the active ycmig business men of Richmond, lie went to Tacoma in 1898 with his family mil ' noon became identified with tha t'U3lnes3 interests of that city. He was reared on a farm northeast of the city and for a number of years was employed at the Gaar-Scott plant. He is survived by a vife and four children. Mrs. Hill, his wife, was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J. W. White of Knightstown. They were married in 1885.

DISCUSS ROUTINE BUSINESS

Only routine matters were discussed by the Benevolent society of St. John's church Monday evening. Several new members have been received recently. The organization is limited in membership to St. John's and Trinity churches.

The reported interview credited to me originated by a Palladium reporter calling up over the telephone as to information as to the reported cholera epidemic. The fact that there were no hogs condemned in the eastern market by us would prove nothing only a hog condemned by live inspectors after the hogs go to the packing houses. Even if condemned wo would have no knowledge of it as the packer would tcco Then in regard to the question as to the numDer of hogs lost by the

The newsboys that serve the "Pall" can make more noise in a minute than the Germans will make in the war. While they accomplish more the Germans haven't anything on the kids for they're both winners.

The barbers don't like too much notoriety, especially in this department, for they say the truth should be hid under a lime once in a while. Believe me Agnes if we told all we know this would indeed be a strange town. Karl has promised to behave so that puts an end to the argument.

Linus Meredith went out in the country yesterday morning with a flannel shirt and threatened "Kid" Hull that he was going to work. Now Linus b careful. Remember the fights tonight. Ohio has gone went and women's suffrage has received a shot in the neck down in Pennsylvania. The Pennsy women are reported to have rallied after the defeat but no news of the resurrection of Ohio has yet been received.

Frankie (isn't that a sweet name) Mason fights tonight in the flyweight class. No girls, Frankie isn't a fly but he weighs lees.

City Attorney Bond refused to relate certain facts in connection with city business and therefore we chide him. Mr. Bond come through or we will have to chide thee some more. There appears to be a morbid interest taken in the Hasemeter-Bentlage trial and women crowd the court room nearly all the time. More people have attended the hearings than have been seen on Main street since Halloween. Watch society turn out to the basketball game Friday night. That is if the boys recover from the effects of the fights tonight. George Brehm and Sam Vigran threaten to be at both places.

farmers replied would have no way of knowing but probably could get desired information by calling fertilizer plant. In same article it appears as coming from me that the veterinarians take the advantage of the scare to get to vaccinate the hogs. This did not originate from me and further more will say I have advised every farmer that has talked to me to vaccinate as a precaution. JEROME SHURLEY.

EARLY CITY HISTORY Contributions on the pioneer days of Richmond will appear in this column daily.

The appended article is an extract from a part of "The Hoosier Nest," seldom quoted. John Flnley, one of the best .known men of early Richmond, was the author of the poem. Historical Pageantry, 1833. Who can view the glorious West, With all her hopes for coming time, And board his feelings unexpressed In poetry or prose, or rhyme? Yes, land of the West! thou are happy and free! And thus evermore may thy hardy sons be. Whilst thy ocean-like prairies are spread far and wide. Or a tree of thy forests shall tower in pride. Blest Indians! in thy soil Are found the sure rewards of toil, Where honest poverty and worth May make a Paradise on earth. With . feelings proud we contemplate The rising glory of our State; Nor take offense by application Of Its good-natured appellation Hoosier. With six-horse team to one-horse cart, We bail them here from every part; And some you'll see, sans shoes or . socks on, With snake-pole and a yoke of oxen; Others with pack-horse, dog, and rifle, Make emigration quite a trifle. The emigrant is soon located In Hoosier life Initiated; Erects a cabin in the woods. Wherein he stows his household goods. At first, round logs and clapboard roof, With puncheon floor, quite carpet

proof, And paper windows, oiled and neat, His edifice is then complete. When four clay balls, in form of plummet. Adorn his wooden chimney's summit. Ensconced in this, let those who can Find out a truly happier man. The little youngsters rise around him, So numerous they quite astound him; Each with an ax or wheel In hand, And instinct to subdue the land. Erelong the cabin disappears, A spacious mansion next he rears; His fields seem widening by stealth, An index of increasing wealth;
