Week Should See Final Action on Number of Bills Home Rule Measure Ready for Consideration.
SCHOOL LEVIES ARE UP BV PAllADltH CORREIPOSDEVT INDIANAPOLIS, Ind., Feb. 14. If the temper of both houses of the legislature continues as It has been, this week should see final action on a number of bills and many more measures that might be classified under lhe general head of "foolish" should be put to sleep. Tills legislature and particularly the house, it might be remarked, has shown a rather high degree of dis crimination in handling that great variety of foolish bills ranging from measures regulating the building of paritltion fences to those having to do with the use of benzoate of soda. It Is interesting to note that the fouse last week killed more bills than it passed and this development was an eye opener for those observers who at the beginning of" the session said the senate would be the life saver and must be depended on to kill unwise and radical legislation which probably would go through the house which had manv young members, including 20 or 25 world war soldiers. At this time it appears that the world war soldiers have not performed so outrageously after all. Quick Passaqe. It Is probable that the specific apTiripriatlon bill will be disposed of by the house this week sitting as the committee of the whole. One of the notable accomplishments of the legis lature last week was the final action on the regular appropriation bill. Many of the old timers around the legislature can recall the times when 1 lie appropriation bills dragged along to the last night of the session nnd ihe clock was turned back and sleepy spectators slumbered around the edges of the house and senate chambers while the members of the steerin? committee burned the after-m'd-nieht oil poring over the appropriation measures and trying to satisfy all ihose who wished to make deals. But it is different ihi year. The peferal annronr'ation hill was made jsdv for the governor last week nnd 1!f. boui should fir'yh work on the rnec'fc hill this week. Both measures ?borUl be out of the way and in the l"Tirts of the governor long before p for sine die adjournment March Tth. Should Move Raoidly. The general aooronHqtinns bill carried !n as-erregate of S5. 700.000 in anpronriations and the total of the soa. rifle bill is a little more than 2.300.000. This bill should move rapidly in the house because it has been examined by members of a joint committee and thp figures contained in it are said to have been annrovrd by leaders of both houses. One of the important items in the bill is an appropriation of $350. COO for a new men's building at the Central hospital for the insane. In connection with this item, a good Ftorv is told It is said that Governor McCray sent an emissary to look over the men's buPding at the hospital, and he reported back that the situation could be met by making repairs. The governor, however, decided that be, himself would go and look over the building. One of the peculiarities of a governor is his habit of early rising, so he showed up at the hospital at 7:30 in the morning and asked Dr. George F. Edenharter, the superintendent, to show him through. It is said that before the governor had finished his inspection, he was fully satisfied that a new building should be provided. Anyhow the appropriation is in the bill and the legislative seers say it will go through. Levies Hang Fire. Another important measure that Is still hanging fire and may come up in tho house is the one that takes care of the common school levy. Var ious interested persons who have been here to look after this measure seem to think that the seven-cent levy is the one that will be provided with a provision that 30 per cent of the amount raised go into the deficiency fund to aid the poorer schools of the state. In fact, it seems that a degree of harmony has been reached on all educational matters in the legislature. Representatives of the poorer counties wish a generous supply of money for their schools and in return they are willing that the higher educational institutions shall be taken care of. Farmers in Favor. It was a far crv from the earlier days Si eg when Representative Abraham a farmer from Floyd and Harrl - on counties, stood on the floor Of the house "the other day and argued in favor of a generous vocational education levy. Representative Siog is a quiet sort of person, (he has not introduced a bill this session) and to see him strolling around the lobby of the Claypool hotel and knowing he is a tiller of the soil, you might imagine that he would oppose any such highfalutin thing as vocatioual education. uut noi -o. ,j Another measure that has aroused considerable interest and which prob
ably will come up for action this week is the one to give cities the right to adopt the commission or the commission manager form of government This bill has been amended to take out the referendum feature and to make it possible for cities to vote to go back to the old form of government as well as to vote for adopting the new form. It is said that the proponents of the measure do not object to the provision making it possible to return to the old form. As to whether or not this measure finally will go through (Continued on Page Two)

"It is impossible," he says, "for such a propositoin to be given careful study, debated and approved within the limited time before congress and the only solution which would be to invest President Obregon with extraordinary authority to deal with petrolum matters."

This measure will probably be defeated, and President Obregon will then present a bill of his own. This legislation, however, will cause such a prolonged debate that the president will perforce need authority to regulate business in connection with the oil fields. Senor Schiaffino was the original head of Mexico's petroleum department and held that post until he assumed the position of "official mayor" several weeks ago.

The slogan of the press: It pays to advertise," has the indorsement of your Uncle Sam. For the first time he actually recognized advertising as a high-powered commercial motor when he found his surplus war materials were either lying unhid for on his hands or had to be sacrificed at prices that knock the bottom out of the market for going manufacturing concerns. Through the power of advertising he has sold more j than a billion dollars worth of this i surplus property at unexpectedly good prices. Recovers 63 Per Cent. In a nutshell, through the demand created by advertising Uncle Sam's percentage of recovery on surplus war materials has been 64 per cent, hile England got 40 per cent, and France and Italy got considerably less than that. In that 63 per cent recoveryUncle Sam sold everything from shoelaces to ocean liners silk, locomotives, socks, airplanes, candy, helmets ! and all kinds of subsistence.

Turkish Heir Says Nation is
Interested in Stand of President-elect on Near East Questions. URGES COMMON SENSE ff?y Associated Press1 CONSTANTINOPLE. Feb. 14 Hope that allied delegates would enter the near eastern conference to be held in London next week with a compromising spirit was expressed here today by Abdul Medjid Effendi, heir presumptive to the Turkish throne. Only by such an attitude on their part would it be possible to establish peace in the near east, and he said it might be too late to insure an end to hostilities, if the Turkish nationalists have made any military agreements with the Russian bolsheviki. dent-elect Harding. Need Common Sense. "What is most needed at the near eastern conference in London," the crown prince declared, "is common sense and moderation. If the confer ence should be opened in such a spirit, it would be possible to settle the Turkish question, but it is to be noted that the Greeks are divided: that the Turks are noi united, although the division is more apparent than real and that the allies may not be in agreement. "The Turkish peace has been delayed too long, and perhaps it is now too late if the Turkish nationalists have a military agreement with the bolshe viki. If such an agreement has been made, it is the fault of the allies, and Turkey may be ruined by its relations with Russia, which is passing through a revolutionary era. Urges Accord. "If the allies admit the impossibil ity of destroying the Turkish race, it is probable we can find a common ground for negotiations. The main point for the allies is to stabilize control of the Bosphorus and Ino Dardanelles, and we will be willing and glad to conclude an accord on this f ubjeet.

peace, and not mix in the quarrels of Furope.

I trust, however, that President-elect Harding will, when he assumes the presidensy ouickly renew relations with Turkey and not follow President Wilson's policy toward this country, for instance his policy regarding the boundaries of Armenia. Is Not Nationalist. "It Is true I am a nationalist, for otherwise I would not be a Turk, hut it is not true that I am trying to go to Angora, as has been reported. I am ' " - not a sentimentalist in politics, yet I believe it is only by fair compromise and by recognition of Turkish rights in Smyrna and Thrace that peace can be established In the near east."

Without debate the charges on Mr. Welty's motion were referred to the judiciary committee for investigation and report. There were a few scattering noes.
