COOPERATION
URGED AMONG
CONTRACTORS
Architects Would Put on Cam
paign of Publicity ‘of
the Proper Sort.’
A publicity campaign of the proper
sort, cooperation of the society with State,
county and city officials, and an offer of
aid and moral support for the contrac
tors, are suggestions contained in an ar
ticle in the current issue of the Indiana
Construction Recorder, official paper of
the Indiana Society of Architects, by
Fermor S. Cannon, president of the In
diana Society of Architects, in touching
upon possibilities for the society during
the new year, which began last month.
The article says.
"The new year opening for the In
diana Society of Architects is full of great
possibilities—both for its members and
the communities which they serve. It
does not come amiss at this time to quote
a phrase or two of Charles H. Grasty's—
“Some find it a man-hilling Job. hut it
seems to me to be the greatest workday
task that an ambitious person with Ideals
can find—helping a community and at,
the sams time making a worldly success
for one's self. It is a vocation for op
timists.''
This, in a concise way, la the ultimate j
purpose and desire for all who practice
architecture. We all know that we must
qualify as optimists, or we shall fail in
onr work, and It U this same optimism
sf spirit that has caused the State society
to grow to its present size and dignity. (
Through our association together, in at
tempts to obtain legal recognition of our
profession, we have found the well- ]
spring of cooperation and the personal
recognition of each individual s worth.
In spite of some discouragfment as to
concrete results in the Legislature, these
efforts have not lost us ground because
we have gained strength for the next
move and feel a-clearer appreciation of
true business unity and competition. The
public is bound to sense our new attitude
toward each other, and this fact alone
is of the greatest possible value.
"Some definite things must be Included
lr. our program for 1921-22. First, a
publicity campaign of the proper sort,
which shall not only benefit the society, ,
but break down th* apparent lack of ap
preciatlon of the functions of an archi- |
tect and the real value of his services.
Many such campaigns have failed he
cause of the inability of those who pro
duee to properly and efficiently meet the
resultant demands. We do not consider,
that such an outcome would be possible..
Each member has had experience of ail ;
kinds—both in the office and in the field
and it is proposed to let the society
benefit by the best that can be compiled
from this’ combined knowledge. Wo must
do business according to certain uniform
ideas of practice or we shall injure each ’
other, as in the past, by ignorance of
our costs and the results required.
“Our second aim—along with the bet- j
tering of our private practice—is the
recognition and payment of our debt to
the State. It is a patriotic duty to give :
ourselves In efficient and hard-working
service to our State boards; and to ac
complish the best results, we should co
operate through onr society with all
State, county and city officials. This is
our chance to serve our communities in
the finest way.
“Finally, as a society, we have grown
to feel that closer study of our fellow
workers, the contractors, and the prob
lems that confront them, are absolutely
a part of our program. For too long a
time the contractors' associations have
served alone as a bvger between the pub
lic and the Injustices of the building in
dustry We at least can offer our aid and
moral support by being willing to take
the stand with them.
“It is a fine omen for the future of the
profession in Indiana that we are able
to welcome the newly-chartered State
chapter of the American Institute of Ar
chitect* The spirit of interest and rec
ognition which the institute has accorded
State so-ieties makes onr way very clear
to a mutual feeling of helpfulness be
tween our society and the Indiana chap
ter. It is to be hoped that as many of
our members as can qualify for member
work as a society, and if each member
ship in the chapter will hasten to add
their strength to a movement that means
a great deal to the practice of our pro
fessicr.
“We are optimistic in regard to our
will give his undivided support to our
activities we can predict worth while re
sults—not only for this year, but for
the future. - ’

2D AMENDMENT
PROPOSED NOT
TRUE TO TITLE
(Continued From Page One )
the thickly populated districts. If this
is in fact what is contemplated, it is ef
fectually barred by the amendment it- j
s*;f, which, provides for registration of !
“all persons entitled to vote.” This is
the same as the present constitutional
provision, except that It uses the word
•‘may” instead of "shall.” The Supreme
Court has twice decided that any partial j
registration is unconstitutional, ar.d that
a valid registration law must provide for
registration of “all" voters as directed
in the constitution (125 Ind. 2SI; 144
Ind. 423). If partial registration was in j
fact contemplated, the Republican states- |
men have failed to amend at the proper j
point, unless the Supreme Court should j
imitate Mr. Riley's "Squldglcum-Squees 1
at swallers therselves,” and reverse its j
decision*.
The circular Issued by the "organiza- |
tlon committee - ' of the late State con
ference on the amendments, states as to
this amendment: “The purpose of this
amendment is to make a permanent
registration, thus avoiding the work and
expense of a registration preceding each
election." There is no such purpose in
dicated in the amendment; and it does
not increaso the power of the Legisla
ture in that direction. The Legislature
now has the power to provide for a
general registration, and declare it "per
manent.” The last Legislature exercised
this power, providing that “the registra
; tion books of each and every precinct
; in this State, as complied in the year
j 1922, shall be deemed to constitute a
i permanent registration record of ail
voters resident within such precinct and
entitled* to vote therein.” Voters so
registered are not required to register
anew, and new voters are to be admitted.
But this will be “permanent" only until
i some other legislature shall provide
j otherwise.
LEGISLATURE OF
18H9 BRAINIEST.
The subject of registration has re
! ceived much attention in the past, and
never more than by the Legis'ature of
j ISS9. which was easily the brainiest Leg
i isiature that ever convened in the StatA
| It decided against a law for the registra
! tion of I’J voters tor the following rea
; sons, as stated at the time: “L It is very
expensive, as it require* registration
| boards sitting for several days in every
precinct. 2. It la not effective to pre
j vent fraud, it being universal experience
that there are as many frauds committed
under registration laws aa when there
are nono. 3. It is often inconvenient, and
frequently impossible, for busy men—es
pecially farmers and laboring men—to
spare the tiui" necessary to go to the
, p ace of registration n*d comply with the
formalities required. 4. It Is utterly use
less Ss to the great majority of our citi
zens, who hold a continuous residence,
year after year. It is arrant nonsense to
require a man who lives in the same
house for twenty years to register at
j every election.'"
| After the experience of the past four
1 years, it is probable that Indiana voters
generally will concede the wisdom of
these propositions. The Legislature of
1&89 met the problem by a provision In
Section 13 of the Australian ballot law.
• which was originally adopted at that
session, for the registration of persons
who had lived in the county less than
six months, or who had been absent from
the State for six months or more on other
than public business. All that was re
quired was filing a declaration of intent
in the county clerk's office. This would
have effectually prevented those frauds :
that can be prevented t>y registration, j
but it was not allowed to be tested, In '
practice.
A case was taken to the Supreme Court, '
which held the law unconstitutional. (125 ,
Ind. 281). The case was especially inter
esting because Mitchell and Elliott, who j
were the two strong men on the bench ,
at the time, and who usually held to- j
gether, divided on this question. Mtt- j
ehell filing a dissenting opinion, and j
Elliott an elaborate separate opinion, sus- j
taining the majority of the court. Mlt- I
ehell's position was that while the law j
was not a compliance with the conati- i
tutional requirement for registration of
all voters, it was salutary provision for 1
securing honest elections which was not
prohibited by the constitution; and if
the Supreme Court Is Justified in its re
peated and uniform decisions that the
Legislature has plenary power over leg
lslation, where not prohibited by the (
constitution, his view was correct. An j
effort was made by the Legislature of i
1891 to draft a law that would atand
under Mitchell's distinction, but It wns
also held unconstitutional. (144 Ind. 423.)
PERMANENT REGISTER
TO AVOID NUISANCE.
There is only one other possible way
to avoid the nuisance of repeated general
registration, and that is to have a per
manent register, and correct It from
year to year by adding new voters and
removing those who have diet! or moved
away. This was provided by Section 2,
Article 2, of the Marshall constitution,
but the Supreme Court interferred in the
process of legislation by prohibiting its
submission to the people. The manifest
I truth Is that the Republican leaders do
not want an effective registration law;
and this again on account of the negro
I vote, which is notoriously the lAost dis-
I ficult to - keep track of. and in which ex-
I tensive frauds are practiced. There could
not be a more effective cover for exten
sive frauds than the provision of the
present Republican registration law for
| the registration of absentees on the cer-
I tiflcate of “two voters of the precinct."
There is no requirement for freeholder
witnesses, and nothing to prevent the
“voters” from disappearing after they
nave put a number of fraudulent name*
I on the register.
A great deal of fraudulent voting could
be prevented by a legislative requirement
| that 'residence” should be actual, and not
i theoretical, except where the voter is ab
' sent on business of the State or of the
! United States. The present universal
theory is that residence is a matter of
' intent, and that a voter resides where he
\ intends, no matter whether he lives there
|or not. It is like the loyal little girl
'who said: “If my papa says anything
lls so, it is o, even if it ain't so." The
j most careful poll is no protection if the
! voter is not to be found at th# place
where he claims residence. There is no
reason worthy of notice for the con
tinuation of this absurdity as to voters,
which applies to nothing else. How would
' it utrike you if you went to collect rent
and the tenant should say: “I do not
INDIANA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JULY 13, 1921.
reside here. I am holding my residence
somewhere else?"
The extent of the frauds committed
under this theory is not commonly known.
I have known men to be brought back
here from the Pacific slope to vote in a
presidential election who had no more
real intention of residence here than they
had of flying. And they came back to
vote only because their expenses were
paid by a campaign committee. Os course,
they voted in the local elections held at
the same time, although they had not a
particle of interest in local affairs. This
evil could be corrected without any con
stitutional amendment if the party man
agers would consent to it, “but that is
another story.”

The Truth About Indianapolis
PAINT MAKING INDUSTRY
NINE paint-making manufacturers in
Indianapolis last year by producing
• nearly 1,500,000 gallons of paints,
stains, enamels and about 850,000
gallons of varnish pushed this city into third
place as a paint-manufacturing center in the
United States^
Every type of paint known to the trade is
manufactured in this city in quantity. Broad
• white lines to regulate automobile traffic in tho
large cities are of Indianapous-made paint, and
paints, stains and varnishes for the home, office
and factory—varnishes for automobile bodies—
hard enamels for hospital equipment are all in
cluded in the Indianapolis-made paint line. The
rainbow’s delicate colors can be duplicated in
paints made in this city by 1,600 men and women
engaged in the paint-making industry.

SCHOOL BOARD
MEETING SHORT
AND SWEET ONE
Only Three Members There,
Allison Being Away and
Crippin Is 111.
With only three members of the board
of school commissioners present, the meet
ing of that body last night was one of
the shortest and most uneventful in
many months. Routine matters only
were considered in the absencp of W. D.
Allison, who is out of the city, and Clar
ence E. Crippin, who is ill.
L. A. Snider, former business advisor
of the board, and member of the firm
of Snider & Rotz, former engineers for
the board, was present and assured the
board that until satisfactory arrange
ments can be made he and his firm will
continue to supervise and inspect the
work under construction at twelve
schools. He said that following the ac
ceptance of his resignation and that of
Snider & Rotz, Monday, he had ordered
all Inspectors back on their Jobs and
the interests of the board are being prop
erly eared sot.
It is almost certain that a : special
meeting of the board will be held Satur
! day to take some steps to fill the vaean-
I eies caused by the resignations of Mr.
Snider and his firm. There seems to be
every possibility that the firm of Snider
& Rotz will be re engaged, for the time
being .at least, in the capacity of engi
neers for the board.
Mrs. Julia Belle Tutewiler, president of
the board, will leave within a few days
for a trip through the West and it is
almost necessary that some arrangement
be made before her departure,
j Two young men comprising the firm of
Lewis &. Warren of Louisville. Ky., ap
peared before the board and said that
they were industrial and mechanical en
gineers. They applied for the engineer
ing position left vacant by ta resigna
tion of Snider A Rot*.
The annual financial report of the board
for the fiscal year ended Juno 30, was
presented by Frank L. Reissner, secre
tary of the board,, and contains some' in
teresting figures. Cash receipts for the
year were $5,539.187 71 while expenditures
amoanted to $8,861,230.65. The excess of
expenditures over receipts was made up
j ont of the cash balance on hand July 1,
j 1920, which amounted to $4,362,765.01. As
a result the cash balance on hand July 1.
I 1021 was reduced to $2.605.722 07. The
! greatest single items In the list of ex-
I penditure were out of the school building
i bond fund, $2,284,960.19 being spent, and
j teachers’ salaries, which amounted to
about $2,700,000.
On tbe receipt side of the ledger the
tax levy brought in $3,656.462 13 to which
j must be added $325,011.50 from the State
j apportionment making a total from
I these sources of $3,951,473.03. ___

D’Olier Opens ‘Pilgrimage
Headquarters’ for Trip
to France.
NEW YORK, July 13.—Franklin O'Olier,
former national commander of the Ameri
can Legion, who > will lead a pilgrimage
of ex-service men to France this summer,
has opened “pilgrimage headquarters” in
New York, where arrangements for the
trip are being completed.
The trip is at the'instance Os President
Millerand and the French Government,
who invited the American Legion "to des
ignate a group of ex-service men and
women to visit France for a tour of the
erstwhile fields of conflict and for partici
pation in a series of ceremonies in honor
of the American troops. Foremost among
the ceremonies will be the unveiling of
the Flirery monument, in tribute to the
valor of the American soldier.
Mr. D’Olier has received letters and
telegrams from every State indicating that
the veterans of the World War regard the
forthcoming expedition with deep signifi
cance. Mr. D'Olier said.
“The veterans feel that the invitation
of France and Its acceptance marks the
entrance of •he Legion onto the stage of
international affairs and will tend to knit
more closely a mutual understanding
among veterans not alone of France and
the United States, but of all allied coun
tries."
DELEGATES
LIMITED TO 250.
Tne number of delegates will be limited
to 250 and, according to Mr. D’Olier, will

State and every branch of the former
fighting forces will be represented.
A fixed quoto based on legion mem
bership has been alloted each State. It
will be impossible, because of limitations,
to include every one who has wired for
reservations. Selection of individual* is
entirely in the hands of the State or
ganizations of the legion.
The delegation will sail Aug. 3, from
New York on the United States Mall
Liner George Washington. The expenses
of the trip wiy* be borne by the indi
viduals of the party or by the legion or
ganization. In France the party will
be guests of the French government on
a tour of the former battlefields. On
this tour the legionnaires will visit
scenes of the engagements in which the
Americans participated and the impor
tant towns of the battle area.
Besides participating in the unveiling
of the Flirey monument, the party will
lay the cornerstone of “Pont Roosevelt,”
the new bridge to be erected across the
Marne at Chateau Thierry, named for
the late Theodore Roosevelt and his son,
Quentin. The latter fell in combat near
Chateau Thierry.
TO BURLESQUE
BENZINE BOARD.
The delegation will go to Blois to at
tend the dedication of the Joan of Arc
statute, which is a gift to France from
the Joan of Arc Committee of New York.
Here also the party will visit the former
headquarters of the reclassification board
of the United States Army in France,
which in Army parlance was known as
the “benzine board of Blooey.” A
burlesque of the famous benzine court
will be enacted by the legionnaires.
The veterans will go to the birthplace
of Marshal Foch, in the Pyrenees, and it
is expected that the eminent marshal
will meet them as host in the house where
he was born. At the same time an Invita
tion to attend the national convention of
the American Legion in Kansas City this
fall will be formally presented to Mar

At Rhelms the party will attend the
presentation of the thro*--million-franc

naires expect to return to America about
Sept. 15.
