Chase S. Osborn is out with another
letter to Judge Montgomery in which
he answers much Of the criticism that
was made Of his first letter to Justice
Montgomery, calling the jurist's atten-
tion 10 The objection TO his being a
candidate for governor and retaining
his position on the supreme bench
Mr.. Osborn first letter was frowned
upon by many Of his own supporters
owing TO the high personal regard
which everyone has for Justice Mont
gomery
His last letter however, puts the
controversy in light that eliminates
the personality OF Justice Montgomery
from the question and deals with IL in
a way that gives Mr. osborn's posi-
tion firm foothold Among other
things Mr.. Obsorn says;

was inspired by iawy ers who should
have known better, IL has been foster

lies the great harm Of it A prominent
lawyer said 60 me, referring 70 Justice

Indianapolis, Aug. 13-The beetles
of Indiana are causing more trouble
right now than they ever caused in
the history of the state. They are
making all kinds OF trouble for the
state tax board, the reporter of the
supreme court, the state printing
board and the ninety-two county audit
ors Of the counties of the state.
1t all comes about through the print
ing Of the annual report of w. s.
Blatchley. state geologist, which. this
year is a treatise on the beetles of In
diana. When 1t became known to the
state printing board that Blatchley
was getting up a report on beetles,
the board refused to have the report
printed and paid for out of the state
printing fund. on the ground that bee
ties were no part Of the busin .ss OF
the geologist. The board held that
bugology was not geology. therefore
that the printing fund could not be
used for such purpose. This dispute
between Blatchley and the printing
board continued for several months,
and when it became a settled fact that
the board would not pay for the print
ing Blatchley decided tn have the re-
port printed himself and pay for it
out Of his ONCE expense fund
Thus. the copy for the beetle book
went to the state printer late. Blatch-
ley informed the state printer that un.
less the book was completed by the
thirtieth of September he could not
pay for it at all, because the fiscal
year ends at that time and all appro-
priations for 1910 expenditures will
He said that contract let in 1910
could not be paid for out of the 1911
appropriation. This caused the state
printer to get hustle on himself, and
he has had to lay aside all other state
work in order to get the beetle report
out by that time
In the meantime John D. Williams,
clerk to the state tax board, is receiv-
ing urgent requests from the county
auditors for the certihcation Of the
assessments on corporations which
were made by the state tax board. Will
liams has had the copy of the tax lists
in the hands of the printer for some
time. but the printer says he cannot
get at this job until the beetle report
is about completed. Therefore, the
beetles are obstructing the taxing pow
er of the state. The county auditors
will simply have to wait until the bee
ties are cleared out of the way.

The printer has informed Williams
that he will get at the tax report In
q few days and that proofs will be sent
to him soon. This, however, does not
satisfy nor appease the demand from
the county auditors. They want their

derstand why lot Of beetles should
be permitted to keep them from having
