Mr.. Williams. OF Giles. when the
blouse me, yesterday. offered reso-
luton instructins that the Commits
sioner OF Agriculture make a report
by the next morning giving the lis; OF
the employees OF his department and
the amount of funds on hand. 1t was
agreed to. Mr.. Williams remarked
that the bill which is before the
House seeks TO increase the salary
of many. OF these employees.
Mr.. Taliaferro offered resolution,
which was also agreed 10, appointing
Messrs. William Bullitt Fitzhugh and
Fl. S. Myers as committee TO inves-
tigate cold storage and the keeping
of food supplies, and to report at the
next meeting of the General Assembly.
The committee is to serve without
compensation.
1t was stated in this connection
that the Fitzhugh- Myers pure food bill
would be dismissed.
The States Money.
The eternal problem of State de-
positaries came UP again on the
Finance Committees substitute for the
Senate bill. Mr.. Yarrell offered some
amendments designed not to make the

of the State or give other security.
Mr.. Wingo frequently interrupted,
and at last got Judge Yarrell to read
latter which had been written to
State Treasurer Hartman, showing tina,

Mr.. Bowman. of Roanoke, said he
did not care whether the banks made
money or not. He favored the com.
nlittee substitute because 1t made the
funds secure. and it was no concern OF
the Legislature to look after the tinan.
cial success of the banks. He had, hi
said, always opposed scattering the
State money among so many institu'
lions.

Might lie Unconstitutional.
Resuming his argument after the re-
cess. Mr.. Lee said that the registration
fee could not be regarded as revenue
matter: If SO, it would be unconstitu-
tional so far as Interstate business is
worked, he thought. if the tonnage
tax of Is cents were eliminated.
Referring to the other committee
amendments. Mr.. Lee argued that there
was no occasion to have the fees paid
to the Department OF Agriculture In
stead of into the Treasury OF the
State AS to having the accounts of
the Dairy and Food Department
audited by the Agricultural Depart
ment before they are paid, this would
be hurtful. since it might cause a de-
lay OF months. Furthermore, he did.
| not think it ought to be necessary for
! the commissioner to consult With the
head OF the Department of Agriculture
before taking any official action. The
amendment offered by him exempting
products made by the grower or his
! agent he said WAS a concession.
1Illlcrs Objected.
4 Mr.. Bowman, of Roanoke, said that
! THE tonnage tax had proved objection
able, especially to millers. The COM
mittee had tried to meet the objec-
tions while amending this bill. lie
thought it had done so without in
4 juring the efficiency OF the department.
The millers had accepted the bill as
(, amended. which does not undertake to
do away with inspection.
! He did not believe the bill would
reduce the revenues to a point which
would cripple the department, which
has been earning more money than it
has been necessary to expend. AS to
TIL auditing Of accounts, It was not
contemplated to require more OF the
4 Dairy and Food Commissioner than is
! required Of the Commissioner of AErt-
Sculture, whose accounts arc audited

Yesterday afternoon the Senate
Committee on Insurance and BANKING
gave a favorable report to the Owen
bill, classifying Industrial sick bene-
fit associations. This classification was
sought, so that these companies might
not be taxed at SO high a rate as the
old line insurance and fraternal or
ders. The benefit companies issue
small policies on weekly premiums
and provide weekly indemnity for
sickness or accident. They protect a
certain class of people who arc unable
to get better protection.

1t is estimated that Senator Elan's
bill assessing standing timber in con-
formity with the rule laid down In a
recent decision OF the Court OF Appeals
will bring In decided increase in
revenue from that source. The bill
passed the Senate yesterday. and
stands an excellent chance OF getting
early consideration in the House. En-
tirely too little has been received from
timber taxation in the past. It IL
claimed. and this bill will do much to
right things in that direction.

understood that policy of slow pro-

The State supreme court handed
down a decision last week, upholding
the juvenile court law, which is at the
present time, proving to be a white
elephant on the hands of the judiciary
of the state. The court holds that
the failure of the state to provide
refOrmatories for the proper care and
detention of youthful criminals, is no
excuse for infringement Of the law and
that any attempt to imprison such
youthful offenders in the usual pris
ons and jails of the state would be au
infringement of said law. This law
may appear most excellent from a
sentimental point of view, but with
its present lack of means for inforce-
ment, it is working hardships upon
almost every community, and is nur-
turing growth of criminals in the
most approved manner possible
Under existing conditions the state
gives to every boy within her border,
under Is years of age, carte blanc
license to commit any and every de
probation that they may wish, without
any fear of being held accountable be-
fore the law. Thus we have the

lied by responsible business men

Instead of the money for fire in.
surance going out of the territ
ory, the company intends to in
vest the right h ere in Arizona
The company should be Of inter
est to Arizonana. and Arizonans
should be interested in the COM
pany, for the reason of the high
rate of1nterest paid for insurance
in this territory and the high
rate of interest that is obtain
able in loaning out their assets
in the territory.
The stock of the company is
being sold all over the territory
and large blocks have already
been placed in this vicinity. 1t is
their intention to scatter t h e
stock all over the territory in
order that the company may
have numerous substantial bus
mess men to procure business
for them. 1t appeals to the
average man as being a good
proposition and one of the best
that has been offered here for
some years. There is no promo
tlOn stock whatever, all the ex.
