SENATE PROBABLY FOR
$1,000 LICENSE FEE
II Bill Is SO Amended by Sen
ate, House Will Probably
Agree to lt-Sunday Ball
Troublesome.
Palladium Bureau,
INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 8.

Little by little the supporters Of the
plan to repeal the county local option
law are shaping up the compromise
bill with which they expect to bring
about this result. An outline OF this
bill, known as the Professionalism
bill, has already been given in this
correspondence, but since that was
published some important changes
have been made in it.
Senator Proctor has announced that
a scale of license fees for the various
classes of cities has been decided on.
In first class cities the license will be
$3.50 to $3.50; second class, $3.50 to
$500; third and fourth class cities,
$3.50 to $500: fifth class. 5000 to $3.50;
Incorporated towns, 500 to 800.
Had No Minimum Fee.
!; The bill as originally drawn did not
nix any minimum license fee, but said
that the license should not exceed a
certain fixed sum. Thus it was left
open to the city council or town board
10 charge any fee it pleased, even as
low as a dollar. This arrangement
was opposed by many of the members
lof the legislature, and they said they
would not vote for a bill that contain
ed slch a provision. Then Senator
Proctor and others of the repealers
got together and decided to fix a mini
mum as we'll as maximum charge.
/ Senate viii Raise 1t.
There is a belief that If the house
passes the Proctor omlinson bill and
1t goes to the senate the senate will
raise the license fee to 1000 in both
cities and towns. At least, there is
talk of this kind. 1t is known that
there are in the senate several mem
,bers who are opposed to a repeal of
THE county option law unless high
license is substituted, and it is believ-
ed that they will insist on a higher
figure than is named in the bill before
they will be willing to give it their
support. And if the senate increases
the license fee and sends the bill back
to the house thus amended it is al
most certain that the house will agree
to the amendment In fact, it could
not do much else than agree. for -un-
less the repealers agree to what the
senate demands there cannot be any
legislation, and the county option law
will remain on the books. And 1t is
certain that the repealers will do al
most anything to wipe off that law.
So It may be seen that the senate real
ly holds the key to the whole situa-
ton.
ton. 1t need not be at all surprising
II the controversy ends with thous.
and dollar license law on the statute
books.
Will Soon be Settled.
The liquor question will be settled
in the next day or two so far as the
house is concerned. The committee
on public morals will make a report
on the Proctor Tomlinson bill. In fact
there will be two reports. one for pas
sage and the other to kill the bill
This will be fought out on the floor
of the house and the result will indi,
cate very clearly what the result will
be when the bill comes up for passage
a day or two later. 1t is practically
certain that the bill will reach the sen
ate this week. and it is believed that

When q swarm Of bees Is seen issu.

can Cultivator. The weather is usually
rather warm then, and rushing about to

be necessary few minutes later. They

Ii the hive has been standing in the

and plenty Of ventilation be given above

hive it on the old stand, and set the
hive close beside it, In six or seven
days move the old hive to a new place
rod or so away, and a large number
OF the field bees will join the swarm.
and this will weaken the old colony SO
much that it will in all probability give
up all thought of swarming. You will
make the matter more sure il you move
the hive ait the time Of day when the
bees OF the old hive are out for a play

operation Of natural swarming gives the
bees an impetus that causes them to
work more rapidly, both at honey gath
