A Bill for an act introducing a new mathematical truth and
offered as a contribution to education to be used only by the
State of Indiana free of cost by paying any royalties whatever on
the same, provided it is accepted and adopted by the official
action of the Legislature of 1897.
Section 1

Section 2
It is impossible to compute the area of a circle on the diameter as the linear unit without
trespassing upon the area outside of the circle to the extent of including one-fifth more area
than is contained within the circle's circumference, because the square on the diameter
produces the side of a square which equals nine when the arc of ninety degrees equals eight.
By taking the quadrant of the circle's circumference for the linear unit, we fulfill the
requirements of both quadrature and rectification of the circle's circumference. Furthermore,
it has revealed the ratio of the chord and arc of ninety degrees, which is as seven to eight,
and also the ratio of the diagonal and one side of a square which is as ten to seven,
disclosing the fourth important fact, that the ratio of the diameter and circumference is as
five-fourths to four; and because of these facts and the further fact that the rule in present
use fails to work both ways mathematically, it should be discarded as wholly wanting and
misleading in its practical applications.

("The Indianapolis News", pag. 11)
Fun-Making In the Senate Yesterday Afternoon
The Senate yesterday afternoon occupied Itself with House bills on second reading. The
engrossment of a number of small bills was ordered, and the bill legalising the incorporation
of Poneta, Wells county, was passed under suspension of the rules.
Representative Record's (Taylor I. Record, n.d.A.) mathematical bill legalizing a formula
for squaring the circle, was brought up and made fun of. The Senators made bad puns
about It, ridiculed it and laughed over It. The fun lasted half an hour. Senator Hubbell said
that It was not meet for the Senate, which was costing the State $250 a day, to waste its time
in such frivolity.
He said that in reading the leading newspapers of Chicago and the East, he found that the
Indiana State Legislature had laid itself open to ridicule by the action already taken on the
bill. He thought consideration of such a proportion was not dignified or worthy of the Senate.
He moved the indefinite postponement of the bill, and the motion was carried.
