the funds to go to the fish and game
commission for the carrying on of it's
work. A provision in the bill gives
the commission the right to set apart
huge game preserves for the protec-
tion of propagation of game. 1t is ex-
pected that at least $4,000 yearly

hunters pay no license.
Would Bar crowdine Cars.
If Senator Potting of Summit coun-
ty has his way, the overcorwding of
Ohio street cars will be a thing of
the past. The senator from Summit
says he will present a bill soon de-
signed to prevent car companies from
jamming their cars chuck full of hui
manity He wouldn't abolish strap
hangers as class, but he would great
ly reduce their numbers by providing
that on no street car in Ohio could
the number of those standing exceed
80 per cent of those seated. He main
tains that in all the big cities of the
state, Akron, his home town, included,
street cars always carry more strap
hangers than seated passengers

seems fated unless some tremend-
GUS pressure can be exerted to
hasten the leisurely pace of the
solons, is the biggest present night
mare of the Cox administration. In
the face of every abjurgation to hur-

senate when that body tlippantly voted
to ignore the Cox program for ses-

Gratis stuck to the administration when
the filibuster was ON and the SEN
ators voted 20 strong to make the
time from Thursday to Monday holi-
day. 1t was significant that three Re-
publicans, including the minority floor
leader, Senator Howard, voted with
the handful of Democrats who were
willing to stick to the governors
standard. Now, in desperate effort
to hasten legislation, Speaker Swain
of the house has come out with the
proposal that March 81 be set as the
tentative date for ceasing work. This
proposal is being treated, however,
