missioner is doing great work 10 the intro
ductiok OF nsn cultEIe. a. J am informed.
Mr. BRO wv favored the amendment.
Mr.. FOWLER moved 10 strike all out.
This Fish Con- missioner is located st nv
town, and OF all the choice frauds ever per
petrated upon the people Of Indiana il is
the choicest. ] think there are nine persons
in eleven, and probably ten in Clay County,
enjoying the benefits of this Fish Commits
sioner. Nobody has ever got any fish TO
speak Of. Buckets have been sent there
from all over the State, and / have
received many letters asking why the writer's
do not get fish. When they do get any
they get about two Of the size OF common
tsdpole. Laughter l am IN favor OF tish,
but when | want Them | buy them, and
don't ssS anybody 10 buy them for me The
new Fish Commissioner mas decided the
German csrp is = failure. and he will intro
duce some new kind. | supp)e The Ger
man carp is very much like mud catfish.
II is trihng with the taxpayers to tax them
for any such fOolishness and fraud. This
law was created in 1881. / hops it will no
lsneer be allowed TO remain on the statute
book.
Mr,MAGEE: voted for similar propo-
sltion two years ago. The object of this bill
is TO preserve and propagate the fishes of the
State. The object OF the legislation is to de-
velop the resources of the State. This Is but
q sTcal appropriation. | shall never vote
for snv measure that is retr0grading meas
ure. | believe in getting the moss oil our
backs and keeping abreast with the times.
We protect our game, why not protect our
fish2 There is hot one 6sn now where there
we're coo twenty years ago. This mas been
q wise, economical and last proposition
would like m see the fishes of the State pro
tected aud propagated.
Mr.. FAULKNER: Nobody who has ever
eat German carp will tay il IS like a mud
Ech A u hos fah
n an ever put IN his mouth. Through the
influence OF Senator Voorhees, we have sue
cseded In getting a good many IN Ripley
County, and they are doing better than auy
FISH, native or foreign. | have yet to find
any gentleman or lady who has eat them
but pronounce them superior to any feb
they ever eat ! have one acre of water
which affords a greater profit than any other
ten acres of my land.
Mr.. WINTER This money will have to
be d'soursed ~ the Fish Commissioner IN

Mr.. BAILEY The purpose is TO place
fen and protect tish iu the streams and lakes
Of the State, and thus aid Ia producing
cheap food supply.
Mr. FOWLER You may put "a. 600 600
OF hsh in White River, aud they will be no
more numerous there, because they will go

Fletcher has gone 10 considerable expense,
