Governor Goodrich Apologies Highlight 1919 Legislature
Indiana readers recall Governor Goodrich defending the 1919 Legislature as a constructive record while pledging that an anticipated 1922 constitutional change would push intangible wealth onto the tax duplicate. The piece critiques tax and education provisions and argues the 1919 acts served political aims more than public good.

A lengthy, disjointed opinion piece rails at Governor and reforms, arguing the Blue Sky Law would fail to tax intangible property and critiquing the administration’s conservation and fire marshal proposals. It cites reformers and quotes from era debates, then shifts to a reader letter defending government service and wartime sacrifice, urging patriotism over politics.
