AS TO THE
S
Indianapolis., April 14—The
Acts of the Seventy-Second session of the Indiana General Assembly which are now in the
,hands of the printer will be promulgated the first or second
week in June.- Tbe volume will
be smaller than any printed in
the last decade owing to the fact
that fewer laws were enacted.
* One of the most interesting
features t of t]ie entire : session
was the passage of thirteen resolutions for amendments to the
Constitution. These proposals
are already attracting a great
deal of attention and within the
next two weeks two of them will
probably become the center of a
great deal of interest. Ah of
these resolutions were started in
the 1919 session. While there
was opposition to some of them
at the recent "session, the members of the House and Senate
took the ground that they should
be submitted to the paople for final consideration. The proposed
amendments which may be regarded as of lesser importance
are as follows:
Fixing'trie term of> all county
officers at four years.
Fixing the term of the prosecuting attorney at four years.
Authorizing the General Assembly to prescribe qualifications
for lawyers.    '
Classifying the counties, town-
■hips, cities and towns for the
purpose of the registration of voters so that the legislature may
pass a registration law applying
to any unit of government which
desires to consider.
Amending the Constitution to
permit negroes to become members of the National Guard.
Restricting the right of voting
to f nlly naturalized 'citizens.
Permitting the Governor to veto any item in the appropriation
bills. •
Prohibiting the extension of
term of any, officer beyond the
period for which he is elected and
prohibiting an increase of salary
during the term.
■   fixing the terms of' all State
officers at four years.
Providing that the State Superintendent of Public Instruction shall be appointed by the
Governor.
All of these proposals have
been discussed more or less far
the last four yiears. Tne proposal that the Governor shall be authorized to veto any item in the
appropriation bills has grown out'
of the fact that in .most legislatures the appropriation bills
were not passed until the last
night of the,session so that the
Governor was forced to .sign the
bill regardless of what it contained or to veto it and thereby
make a special session necessary.
The two most important amend
ments are known as- 16. Which
will give the legislature authority to enact whatever tax laws it
deiirei and 17 providing for a
ttate income tax. ^ No. 16 will no'
doubt be the most widely discussed of all the preposed amendment! for the reason tbat many
insist that it gives the legislature
too much Dower. "The Constitution as it new stands limits the
Legislature to enacting tax laws
which provide for a just and
equal assessment of all property.
The spparent purpose' of 16 is
to provide for the classification
of property so that the Legislature will be able to say whether
the rate shall'be different on
real estate and intangibles. The
Legislature provided that the
special ejection for the consideration of these proposals shall not
be held until September 8ch, this
year which will enable everyone
to consider these proposals carefully and discuss them.
Fred Hawkins has been notified
of his sppointment as an aid on
the staff of .National Commander
of the -Sons of Veterans, by Mr.
Barrows. The honor came unsolicited by Mr. Hawkins/ and is
an honor of which anyone may
be proud. Fred is one of the
prominent members in the Sons
01 Veterans organizations of Indiana and the recognition comes
as a mark of distinction for
work well done.

just held.
Rev. Hargitt has made a splendid name for himself here as a
minister, during his year as pastor. He has to his credit an accomplishment that was deemed
nigh impossible. For many
years pastors of the Methodist
and Friends churches have tried
to awaken an interest in religious
matters, that would mean a successful revival. Although a few
converts were made at each re-
vival, the number was small.
Rev. Hargitt during the past
winter' held a highly successful
revival, over 100 converts being
