SENATE ASKS U. S.
TO RESCUE STATE
IN COAL CASE
(Continued From Page On*.)
Wilson would heed the appeal of a re
publican body.
"Mr. Wilson is a president for all,
cot for democrats alone.
"When he sees the failure of the
state administration to act then he wlil
step In and give aid,” replied Senator
Eisner.
A stirring appeal for the passage of
the resolution was made • by Senator
Franklin McCray, Marlon county, chair
man of the committee on federal rela
tions, to which the bill was referred
last evening.
Senator McCray practically admitted
that the state administration Is unable
to cope with the coal situation, but he
went further and stated that the govern
ment at Washington had become “dere
lict in its duties and that a stimulus also
Is needed there.”
"It is a disgrace and a shame to bring
the question of politics into this discus
sion here, when the situation is so alarm
ingly serious.
"We can not deal in Interstate com
merce, and therefore we must appeal to
the federal government.
“There is no reason why the president
should refuse to do his duty.
"MUST GET BACK
TO NATIONALISM”
"We must get back to nationalism,” he
declared.
Senator McCray was asked if the pres
ent condition of the country were not due
to too much International thinking.”
"No, no, no,” shouted the senator.
The vote on the resolution follows:
For Alldredge, Arnold, Barnum.
Beardsley, Bowers, Brackman Cravens
Decker. Dobyns, Dorrell. Douglass Duf
fey Eisner Hepler Humphreys, James,
Laney McConaha, McCray, McCullough,
Meeker, Munton, Negley Xedjl South
worth Strode.
Against—Brown, Duncan, English, Fur
nas, Grant. Klper, Kline. McKinley, Mas
ters, Metzger. Batts, Self, Smith, Tague
and Wolfaon.
Not Voting—Erskine. Hagerty, Hogston,
Kolsem. Maier and Signs.
The text of the resolution follows:
Whereas, an extremely serious coal ***
nation confronts the state of Ind>“'
the entire nation, in that the ee supply
available to the public is Inadequate and
Insufficient, and the prices for which the
available coal is offered to consumers are
exorbitant and materially contribute to
raising to still higher levels the already
high cost of living, and
Whereas, unless effective measures are
immediately adopted to meet the existing
conditions, it is certain that a coal crisis
will be produced that will disastrously
affect industry and the welfare of the
country, and will inevitably lead to gen
eral industrial and social unrest, and
Whereas, the principal factor affecting
the coal supply is the nation-wide lack
of adequate transportation facilities, and
NOT A PROBLEM
FOR ONE STATE.
Whereas, the natural deposits of coal,
which are located in a few states only,
must supply the needs of the whole na
tion, and must be so mined and dis
tributed as to maintain stability, and
Whereas, one state, while It may as
sert Jurisdiction over the movement and
selling price of coal within Its own boun
daries. is legally unable to assume origi
nal Jurisdiction over coal shipped into
It from other states, and is therefore un
able to prevent profiteering on such coal,
and
Whereas, the general assembly of the
state of Indiana fully recognizes the
seriousness of the pending crisis and be
lieves that the dangers confronting the
nation with the approach of winter, are
more serious than at any other time In
the history of the nation; therefore,
be It
Resolved. By the senate of the state of
Indiana, the house of representatives
concurring, that it Is the sense of the
general assembly of Indiana that the
president of the United States should
take such steps as may be necessary to
reinstate for the period of the coming
winter federal control of all prices of
coal and of the distribution of all such
coal throughout the country.
That the president of the United States
should take such steps as may be neces
sary to reinstate, through such federal
direction, the zoning of the country so
that the distances for hauling coal will
be reduced and thus greatly relieve the
inabilities of the rail roods to meet The
transportation demands.
That it is the sense of the general as
sembly that the situation is so critical
that said federal control and zoning of
the country should be instituted. If pos
sible, in the month of August, 1020.
Be it further resolved, that a certified
copy of this resolution be presented to
the president of the United States by a
committee representing this general as
sembly, composed of one member of the
senate and one member of the house.
That certified copies also be presented
by said committee to each member of
congress from the state of Indiana.
LIVE STOCK BILL
CAUSES DEBATE
The senate bill providing for the trans
portation of all classes of freight by lu
terurban traction companies, as intro
duced by Senator Douglass, has been
passed by the lower house and now
awaits the signature of Gov. Goodrich.
Under suspension of constitutional
rules the house passed the bill by a vote
of 65 to 20.
Representative Buchanan was the only
Marlon county member of the house who
voted In favor of the bill.
BILL TO RETAIN
TAX BOARD POWER
Pushing all other legislative issues
aside the Goodrich administration house
bill No. 569, presented by Representative
Charles S. Johnson, a minister of Gas
City, proposing to maintain the Juris
diction and controlling hand of the
board of tax commissioners in tbe
making of future tax levies, came to the
front today.
The Goodrich crowd is attempting to
compel the lower house to carry out tbe
minority report of the ways and means
committee of the house of representatives.
When the Johnson bill was reported
out of committee conference the Good
rich forces received a set back in their
plans to insure the permanency of the
supreme dictatorship of the state tax
board in the future making of tax levies,
as the majority report favored indefinite
postponement.
The majority report was signed by A.
W. Barnard, D. A. Rothrock, T. P. Till
man and H. A. Miller, all republicans,
and tbe following democrats: Benz. J. M.
Bonham. Curry and George 11. Cooper.
The minority report recommended that
tbe bill be passed.
FIVE HENCHMEN
REMAIN LOYAL.
The minority report was favorably re
poHed by the following five loyal Good
rich repnblicans on the ways and means
committee: C. L. Mendenhall, J. H. Hoff
man, H. H. Newby, C. H. Givan and Rep
resentative Swain.
The minority report was adopted and
is scheduled to come up for second read
ing.
Lieut.-Gov. Bush has stated that he will
favor the indefinite continuance of the
special session if the house finally suc
ceeds in putting over the Johnson house
bill, which would continue the power of
making tax levies in the hands of the
much criticised state tax board instead
of returning that authority to the cities,
towns and other taxing units.
That has always been the position of
the lieutenant governor on the state tax
board proposition, and he states he is
prepared to use his influence In seeing
that the Johnson bill as it now stands
never passes tbe senate.
That tbe power of fixing tax levies
must return to the local taxing units and
be taken out of the hands of the state
tax board, is tbe plea of Lieut. Gov.
Bush.
"This Johnson bill overshadows the im
portance of the senate’s substitute tax
measure, and must be out of the way be
fore tbe substitute tax bill Is finally de
termined,” said Mr. Bnsh.
The reasons of the Goodrich crowd in
the house in favoring the guardian angel
clauses of the Johnson bill is best seen
in the words of the bill Itself.
The section of the Johnson bill which
would make secure the future control
| of the 'state tax board over the fixing of
j tax levies, is as follows:
| Section 3. That section 200 of the
above entitled act be amended to read
as follows: Section 200. The several tax
levies shall be established by the proper
I legal officers of any municipal corpora
; tion after the formulation and publica
tion by them of a budget showing in de
; tail the money proposed to be expended
! during the succeeding year, the valuation
of all taxable property within the jur
i lsdictiou and the rate of taxation which
it is proposed to establish, and after a
public hearing within the Jurisdiction at
which any taxpayer shall have a right
; to be heard thereon.
! "Ten days’ notice by publication of
such budget and of such public hearing
in two (21 newspapers or opposite po
litical parties published in such district
j or in one such paper if only one be
) there published, or in case no newspaper
is there published, then by posting such
notice in three (3) public places in such
taxing district, shall be required.
"Subject to the right of appeal there
from to the state board of tax commis
sioners, the several tax levies as estab
lished* by the proper legal officers of
any municipal corporation and as re
> ported bv the county auditor to the
state board of tax commissioners, as pro

REPUBLICANS ABOUT
TO AGREE ON MEMORIAL
Indications this afternoon were that
the republican majority caucus will soon
arrive at a definite stand on war me
i mortal legislation.
It Is understood at this rime that a re
port will be made recommending ap
proximately $2,000,000 be appropriated by
the special session of the Goodrich legis
lature to assure the buildtng of a proper
war memorial at some future time.
The original bills as favored by the
American legion favor the appropriation
of $10,000,000 for the erection of a war
i memorial In Indianapolis.
The house Is expected to adopt the re
port of the republican majority caucus
as the best means out of the situation.
One member who attended the majority
caucus today stated that It looked like
the republicans were getting together on
a definite program which probably would
be reported out for action late this after
noon or tomorrow at the latest.
This means that the ways and means
committee will probably be influenced by
the desire of the majority republicans of
the house.
Representative Day stated that he
finds that many of the returned soldiers
favor a large and definite bonus as well
as the building of a memorial some time
in the future.
‘SHRIMPY SENATOR,’ SAYS
DUFFEY TO NEGLEY
A stormy fight, in which Senator Duf
fey called Senator Negley a "shrimpy
senator,” took place on the floor of the
senate today after an amendment to the
“blue sky” law had been offered by Sen
ator Ratts.
With the amendment, section 13 of the
bill provides that "any person who shall,
withintent to defraud another, knowingly
make any false statement of a material
existing fact advocating the purchase of
stock or concerning the property of the
corporation, its assets and liabilities, the
character of its securities or any othe
statement knowingly designed to mislead
prospective purchasers of any securities
offered for sale, shall be deemed guilty
of felony and upon conviction thereof
shall be lined not less than SIOO, nor more
thau SIO,OOO, or imprisonment for not less
than one year nor more than five years,
or both.”
The amendment over which the discus
sion arose was the clause "of a material
existing fact."
Several of the members of the senate
toook the stand that where prosecution
for false statement is to be effected the
statemen mus be of a material existing
fact.
Others declared that the adoption of
the amendment would tend to weaken
and kill the ent-.re bill.
Senator Duffey declared that the
adoption of the amendment Is but a
parallel suggestion to striking out the
enactment clause.
SENATOR RATTS
WAXES ANGIiY.
"I resent the Insinuation!" cried Sena
tor Ratts. Jumping to his feet.
"Your statements are absolutely false.
You may use your own Judgement as to
whether the amendment should pass or
not, but you have no right to question
one's motives.
“There is no reason for fourflusblng.
We are here on legitimate business.
”1 am not interested in selling bonds,
nor am I representing sny bonding
house.
“I am not trying to get headlines in the
newspapers.
“The statements made against me are
false and Senator Duffey lacks legltlmtae
Information,” he declared.
“I know from where the source of in
formation comes.” replied Senator Duffey.
Senator Negley arose to his feet.
■'Some friends of mine ask me why we
do not pass the bill,” he said, "and I try
to explain ko them that by passing a bill
of this sort without amendments would
make Indiana tbe laughing stock of the
whole country.
"The bill Is unconstitutional as It
comes from the house.
SAYS HOUSE FASHED
IT WITH EYES SHUT.
"But few of the members of the house
knew of the real contents of the bill.
They passed It under suspension of con
stitutional rules and without a com
plete reading.
"It is a peculiar habit of the house to
pass bills without examining them, hop
ing that the senate will fix them in
proper shape.
"That is what makes more work for us.
At the present moment the house is ad
journed, while we are trying to remedy
their mistakes,” he said.
Senator Negley aceussed Senator Duf
fey of "playing to the grandstand."
"I resent the statement made by the
shrimpy senator, but I will take tbe re
marks as a man," replied Senator Duffey
hotly.
Senator Strode rose to a point of order,
demanding that the debate confine Itself
to the amendment.
At tbe close ot tbe motion tbe amend
ment was adopted by a vote of 15 to 10,
and the senate was adjourned until 2
o'clock.
ADVERTISING RILL
PASSES THE HOUSE
Higher rates for legal notice advertis
ing Is provided In the bill by Represen
tative Willi* of ITekalb, which was
passed by the lower house yesterday

by the last legislature was not sufficient
to warrant lta publication. It Is said.

COMMITTEE PASSES
BUCK ON COAL HILL
The American favorite game of "pass
ing the buck” has come Into favor of
the members of the Indiana state senate.
The committee of that body on "rights
and privileges" has taken an interest
in the game, In reporting back to the
senate house bill No. 597, providing for
the establishment of a commission lo
regulate the price of coal In Indiana,
without recommendation.
Asa result of the committee's action

at their will.

senate bill No. 408, which provides for
amending tho state highway commission
Law to permit the payment of 90 per cent
of the contract price on each mile of
state highway.
Tbe majority report favored amending
the bill as passed by the senate and in
troduced in the senate by Senator Duffey,
Marion county.
The minority report recommemled that
action on the engrossed senate bill be
indefinitely postponed.
WARM DERATE
ON MEASURE.
During a warm debate on the mi
nority report Representative Smith, Gib
son county, said the senate bill ns passed,
discriminated between state highway con
tractors and contractors on gravel ami
other roads.
He favored the adoption of the mi
nority report and contended the present
plan of paying nil contractors 80 per
cent is sufficient.
“There is no reason why the state high
way contractors should have this prefer
ence.” said Representative Smith In Ap
pealing to the bouse to safeguard the in
terests of the people by withholding, 20
per cent.
Representative Curry stated that con
tractors on state highways were given
large contracts and that tbe contractors
had huge sums of money tied up.
Representative Sambor, Indiana Har
bor, supported the majority report and
contended that It is necessary to insure
state highway construction to pass tbe
senate bill.
After glowing tributes were pall to
the men who stake large sums and
‘‘gamble" on state highway construc
tion. the house rallied to tbe aid of the
state highway contractors, voted down
the minority report and passed the ma
jority report calling for the passage of
the senate bill with a slight amendment.
The amendment as recommended by
the majority of the committee provides
that the director Is to receive and open
the sealed proposals and, with the ap
proval of the commission, reject any
bids which Is deemed unsatisfactory,
the contract for the con
struction, Improvement or maintenance
of the road will be let by tbe director,
with the approval of the commission, t.
tbe lowest bidder.
The contract will be let under the abovx
conditions, provided that the sum nain.-d
by the lowest bidder is not greater than
the estimate cost provided by the chief
engineer.
PROVISION MADE
TO GO AHEAD.
If, lu the opinion of the commission,
no satisfactory bids are received, the
director is given authority by the com
mission to buy the necessary materials
and to employ the necessary labor to
perform the work of constructing such
highway.
That clause has the provision that tho
director's estimate expense is not greater
than 85 per cent of tbe lowest hid.
Bonds provided by the bidder to whom
the contract Is let will be one and one
balf times the amount of the proposal.
Within one year after the contract Is
let the bidder will provide to the sureties
on the bond a statement of the amount
due him for the cost of labor and mate
rials.
No suit against the sureties shall be
brought until the expiration of sixty
days after the providing to the sureties
of the amount as specified.
A bond form, which must be followed
by bidders and directors. Is attached to
the amendment.

GERMS OF RHEUMATISM
Find Out What Causes Your Suf

"What is Rheumatism?” Is a ques
tion that has not yet been answered
entirely satisfactorily. There are
still different opinions as to Its exact
cause, hut little doubt that its pains
are real.
The medical profession Is practi
cally agreed upon one point, how
ever, and that Is that Rheumatism
Is more than a series of local pains,
and that the real cause of the dis

more than half the course to the outer
mark. Resolute was leading by a quar
ter of a mile.
HEAVY TASK
FACES RESOLUTE,
In order to escape defeat Resolute
tod&y faced the task of winning three
straight races from her sturdy masted
and heavily sailed rival.
Today’s weather forecast, Indicating
gentle, shifting winds, mostly from the
south, was as favorable to Shamrock as
It was to the defender.
. Needless to say. Skipper William P.
! Burton and the crew that has been with
him in every race so far were today as-
I sured that no changes are to be made
j throughout the remainder of the series.
LITTON MEN
ALL CONFIDENT.
j Sir Thomas Lipton and his personal
i advisers are convinced now that nothing
j can sto pthe green sloop on her pathway
j victorji They all feel sure she -.an
1 win one out of three more races.
1 Tuesday's race, the first of three starts,
J in which both yachts crossed the finish
i line, saw the trim hull of Sir Thomas
I Lipton's Emerald challenger and her vast
spread of white canvas always lu the
lead, save for a brief period at the start,
when her balloon Jib topsail fouled as
It was broken out and Resolute forged
j temporarily Into first place.
The thrills were all saved for the last
twelve miles of the thirty-mile triangular
sail.
| Both boats had lazed long In a va
grant breeze, Shamrock steadily draw
; ing away from her glistening white pur
suer, until the challenger came within
| about two miles of the second mark.
There she caught a freshening north
wester and spurted up, breaking out her
j balloon Jib topsail and splnuaker as she
rounded tbe stake, for a wlng-and wing
iun home before the breeze.
Resolute was still floundering along in
; a near calm, more than a mile from the
stake.
Suddenly the breeze struck Resolute
and the trim craft, heeling over until her
de**ks were awash, darted forward In pur
i suit.
She seemed fairly to leap through the
sea, flinging the white spray high as she
tore along.
She gained the mark In Incredibly short
tiem and swinging close to the buoy,
! broke out her lialtooner and strained for
ward like a thoroughbred on the home
stretch.
But a tricky breeze, which had ap
! peered to favor Shamrock from the start,
j had given the challenger too great a
j lead to be overcome and she swept across
; ihe finish line at Ambrose channel light
ship 9 minutes and 27 seconds ahead
of Resolute—a victory by 2 minutes and
| 26 seconds, after the handicap Imposed
j became of her greater sail area had been
j deducted.
When she had crossed the finish line
! through the screeching fleet of specta
! tor craft, Shamrock swung about and
j cruised back to watch Resolute come
I home.
Hats waved and handkerchiefs fluf
' tered congratulations to Shamrock IV's
i crew ns she swept back through the
licet with her sails bellying taut.. The
