In answer to Col. Isaac w.
Browns plea foi the quail and the
statistics which he produced con-
corning the bird as an insect de-
stroyer and a friend to the farmer,
a Columbia City man has given out
some figures to show that it is de-
structive to crops. He claims that
one quail will eat 400 grains of
wheat day and on this assumption
he fgurers out that $4,000 quail
would eat S., 3SI worth of wheat in
three months. Before giving
further currency TO the statement it
would be well for this gentleman to
note the fact that it is claimed by
close observers of the quail and its
habits of living that it will eat little
or no grain when it has access to
insect food. About the only time
when it will eat very much grain IS
when the ground is covered with
snow and when there is nothing
else 10 eat. In the summer time
when they are raising their young
and when insects are most plentiful,
as we'll as most harmful TO crops,
they will destroy very little grain.
What they do consume is only the
waste grain that is left in the fields
and this they are entitled to as a
partial remuneration for their valu-
able services in destroying the
farmers insect enemies. As every
body knows who has ever seen a
quail, it is extremely shy and keeps
itself hidden IN stubble or grass,
where its ideal food, the insects, are
to be found. Nobody ever saw a
covey of quail light upon a shock
of wheat or any other kind of har-
vested grain. Besides, if they were
inclined to do so, the little time be-
tween harvesting and storing the
gram is too short for them to do
any material damage. In order to
destroy the quantity of wheat that
our Columbia City friend estimates
would be destroyed, the wheat
would have to be scattered over the
field for a whole month and the
quail's access to insect food would
have to be entirely cut off. He
will be compelled to produce differ
ent argument from this to turn the
farmers of Indiana against this best
of their feathered friends, -South
Bend Times.

House bill No. 233, introduced in the
house by Mr.. Metsker, is practically the
same as the law now on the statute
books, but which many trustees refuse
to recognize, claiming that the county
and township reform laws repealed it.
The object of house bill No. 233 is to
establish beyond question that these
reports must be published. If enacted,
the expense of taking the matter into
court will be avoided. The township
trustee lobbyists have notified all the
trustees of the state TO wire or write
their representatives to vote against
the bill. 1t certainly is i'll becoming of
a township trustee TO endeavor to shape
legislation so as to make it possible for
him to avoid throwing the light of day
upon his transactions for the public
A trustee who endeavors to do this, in
vites public suspicion to fall upon him.
Effort was made TO strike out the enact.
ing clause on the second reading, but
the effort failed after prolonged de-
bate, led by Representative Reser, in
favor of striking out the enaCting
clause, and RepI esentative Metsker op-
posed.

The bill of Senator Parks, of
this city, calling for larger appro-
priation for county farmers insti-
tutes is an excellent measure and
ought to pass. 1t provides for an
increase of 5000, which will make
the sum twice the present allow

was made when county Institutes

sCHOOL-FUND INTEREST.

lust what law should be enacted
concerning the loaning of school
funds is not plain, but certain 1t is
that some readjustment should be
made. The present law was en-
acted when money was in demand
at 7 and s per cent. 1t requires
borrowers to pay per cent. in adj
vance on security twice the value OF
the loan, and to also pay the cost OF
appraisement, abstract of title, etc
The funds are apportioned to the
counties for loaning purposes, on a
basis of population, and the county
is required to account to the state
for the funds and interest at 6 per
cent, whether it be lent or not. The
law worked very well while there
was demand for money at more
than 6 per cent, but we have go,
past that. In great part of the
state money can be had on good
real estate at less than 6 per cent,
without any cost in many cases al
Sand interest is not payable in
advance. The result is that large
portion of the loanable school funds
now lie idle IN the hands of county
auditors, and the interest on them
that must be paid into the state
treasury is a direct tax on the coun.
ties.
A reduction of interest means a
reduction of the income of the
schools and the problem is thus ser.
iously complicated. The superln.
tendent of public instruction, who
has made study of the situation
recommends that the interest rate
be left where it is, and the treasurer
of state be given discretion of trans.
ferring loanable funds from one
county to another. In making thi:
suggestion, he declares that, while
some counties find it hard to loan
the funds, others could loan much
more money than is apportioned to
them. This might serve as tenn
porary relief for two or three years,
but in the end some adjustment to a
lower rate of interest must be found,
for the tendency of interest rates
throughout the country is steadily
in that direction. = Indianapolis

Legislative Notes.

Indianapolis, Feb. 1.-The independ
ent press of Indianapolis in the routine
report of the honse left the impression
that there was no opposition to the
trading stamp bill This was not the
case, as the vote shows, and ss these
same papers admit when they stated
that Representative Scott occupied all
bis time in speaking against the bill
There were efforts made to defeat 1t
and they would probably have been
successful had not many of the repre-
rentatives been informed, prior to vot-
ing, as to the workings of the trading
stamp system and the demorslizing
effect upon legitimate business inter
ests.
House bill No. It's, introduced by Mr..
Metsker, providing for emitting from
specifications such printing supplies as
can be furnished by local papers, came
up on second reading today and lively
fight was precipitated on the floor, in
which Mr.. Metsker defended his bill.
The bill was finally recommitted to the
committee on county and township
business.
Many of the Legislators are wonder
ing what has become of the anti-kid.
mapping legislation. The bill intiictiDg
life imprisonment or the death penalty
on kidnappers, introduced by Mr..
Bishop, is slumbering in the house
committee on judiciary.
Mr.. Cotner's bill to repeal the county
reform law has received it's quietus
from the committee on county and
township business. The committee is
unanimous in recommending the in
definite pOstponement of the bill.
Representative James began an in
vestigation of the accounts of the state
institutions in the state auditors office
yesterday, and found deficit in the
maintenance account of the northern
hospital for the insane, at Logansport;
the eastern hospital for the insane, at
Richmond. and the school for feeble
minded youth, at TT. Wayne. His in
vestigations so far show that the insti-
tutiOns named, and this includes the
Indiana reformstory at Jeffersonville,
will have special appropriation to
make good these deficits.
The bill introduced by Mr.. Kelley, of
Laporte, repeating the circuit court
drainage law, which was the special or
der In the house yesterday afternoon,
was killed. The bill was put on it's
second reading and the ensctiDg clause
was stricken out on the motion of Mr..
Beck man, of Lake, by q vote of 81 to
81. Mr.. Kelley made long speech in
defense of his bill and Mr.. Murphy,
Mr.. Davis, of Green, and Mr.. Erdiltz
spoke against the measure. Mr.. Kelley
had anticipated the defeat of his bill
by introducing another which merely
amends the circuit court drainage act.
This bill has not been reported from
the committee on drains and dykes as
yet.
