Special Columbus Correspondent.

SOluluDuS, vi ne administration
bill to combine all the agricul-
tural activities of the state into one
department is practically ready for in
PRODUCTION in the Legislature. It will
probably be put in the hopper during
this week. This bill will abolish the
state board of agriculture, transferring
its work and powers to a new BIZ
partisan board Of four members, one
OF whom will be the dean of the agri-
cultural college of the Ohio State uni
versity, the measure specifying that
this official by virtue Of his position
shall be on the board. The board will
control the Wooster Experiment sta
ton, the state dairy and food depart
ment work, the teaching of agricul-
ture in the schools now done by the
state school commissioners appoint
ees and the department of agriculture
at the Ohio State university. Upon
investigation we find that this board
of four will displace some 40 members
or trustees of boards or departments
which now direct the various agricul-
tural activities Of the state" said Gov.
Cox
To Shorten Receivership.
More expeditions conclusions of re.
ceivership and granting to unsecured
creditors more authority in the man
agement of such estates is the object
of bill introduced by Representative
Duffey of Toledo. According to this
bill, courts may on the request of a
majority of the unsecured creditors
remove a receiver or appoint a core
ceiver, and upon such request also the
court may appoint a person named by
them to be receiver or co-receiver. No
receiver is to be permitted to con-
tinue a mercantile or n featuring
concern as going concern for more
than three months, unless majority
Of the unsecured creditors request
him to do so. Within 25 days a re-
port of all property in his hands is to
be made by the receiver and it's prob
able value. And within ten days after
he Is requested to do so by a majority
Of the unsecured creditors, the court
must order the sale of the property.
The receiver must collect all bills
that he can within one year and sell
the rest. He must get the courts as.
sent before he can retain an attorney
and he must not employ any one as
attorney who has been attorney for
any of the claimants. No receiver.
ship is to be continued longer than
mission. AS curb on exorbitant fees
being allowed to receivers the Duffey
bill provides that in no case can the
compensation of the receiver exceed
ten per cent of the value of the goods
that pass through his hands.
Pensions for INDECENT Blind.
If the legislature passes bill in
troduced by DR.. Van s. Deaton, rep
resentative from Miami county, there
will be established at Columbus an
other state institution for the blind

commissioners to be named by the
governor and secretary whom the
| commission is to select and who is tc
be paid $500 year. This commits
| sion is to have charge of system ot
| pensions for the INDECENT blind which
are to be paid out of fund created
by levy of three-tenths of a mill pro
posed in the bill. All adult blind per
sons, who because of their blindness
are unable to support themselves ant
who have been for five years in the
state, are to be eligible to this pen
sion list. But to get there they mus
make application to the probate cour
of their county and on examination
