both in the house, 70 cut the fees down

provides that

shall be summoned into probate court
and the hearing is to be in public. The
auditor is not to be party to the fees to-
accrue from the money recovered, and
many other provisions of the present
law are changed. The agitation that is,

in some change that will help to simplify
the matters so that both the friends and
enemies of the inquisitor system will be,

have had their annual whirl in the house
and have received their annual knock
out. The bill this year did not receive
any more votes, if quite as many. as it
did last year. There was feeling that
in view of the present hard times it was
not a very good time to try any expert
ment that would tend to increasing
taxes. The house spent nearly all of one
day on the subject.
The lawyers Were Knocked Out
in the senate few days ago. The house
bill to make the time that law student
must spend in a law Office three years in
stead of two was defeated by the senate.
It will be remembered that the farmers
and law students of the house defeated
this same bill once. but. it was reconsid-
cred, and the lawyers after pouring out
honied words succeeded in, getting it
through the lower body, hut the senate
evidently thought that two years was
long enough for lawyer to,take from
law student without very much pay
but the use Of library and the privilege
of sweeping out the office every morning.
After the Insurance Companies.
The house is having some contention
over a senate bill to compel insurance
companies to provide collector in every
county where policies are held. The up.
per house passed the bill almost unani-
mously, but the house insurance COM
mittee reported it for indefinite postpone
ment. This was agreed to by the house,.
but this was reconsidered and the bill
was recommitted to the insurance COM
mitteei after sharp struggle between
the chair and the advocates of the BILL.
An effort was made to'suspend the rules
and take it from the committee again,
but the yeas and nays were demanded
and the scheme failed. 1t is argued by
the insurance committee that the bill
would force the first class companies
from most of the counties Of the state.
thus compelling many Ohio people to-
take second rate insurance whether they
want to or not.
The Emergency Board
still stands. The senate made another
attempt to amend the law, cutting off
some of The powers of the board, but the
attempt proved abortive. The size and
shape of the deficiency bill, showing as
it did that the board was more careful
in granting leave to create deficiencies
than the heads of institutions were in
making them or than the legislature was
in appropriating for payment. It is safe
to say that hereafter the emergency
board will keep strictly within the spirit
of the law as well as the letter; and
there is equally as little doubt that the
departments and institutions will be as
careful to spend no more than the legis-
lature appropriates.
