ard Law Still in Force.
Dcs Moines. Sept. 1l.--Fire insurance
companies and rating bureaus oper-
ating In Iowa, In ruling given yes
terday by EMORY II. English, state In
surance commissioner were denied au-
.thority to enter any agreement as to
the manner OF transactlng business.
Companies are notified that the
new rating law does not repeal the
Blanchard law which prohibits COM
binations in the insurance business.
The law merely permits companies to
use the services Of rating bureaus In
determining the hazard Of risk and
fixing a rate thereon, the commits
sioner says.
Acting OF, the assumption that the
rating law repealed the Blanchard
law. the rating bureaus filed with the
insurance commissioner complete
table Of rates. forms. rules. permits
and Inducements. This practically
constituted combination OF the COM
panies to control every phase OF the
insurance business the commissioner
said. He therefore refused to accept
the rules. forms and permits and noti-
fled the companies that prosecutions
will follow any effort to enforce them.
This ruling will be jolt to the
insurance companies, II Is said at the
state house. 1t Is probable that no
effort will be made TO enforce the rules
filed by the bureau, or to test the au-
thority Of the commissioner to refuse
to permit their use.

FISHERMAN REGISTER KICK.
csenn,sreisi Anglers Declare Game
Laws Rob Thorn Of Living.


Clinton, Sept. 11.-Commercial fish
armen Of this section are raising the
complaint that they can not make a
living BY fishing any longer--that not
only Ash are becoming morS scarce
but year by year the fishing laws have
become more and more stringent, un-
til today they are being practically
ruled on the river.
Fish Warden Tierney recently de-
clared the reason tho Ash supply IL
decreasing IL because in years past.
and even today. there are hundreds Of
fishermen taking immense quantities OF
fish Of all varieties from the stream
and the average Ash, on his way up or
down tho river has little or no chance
70 escape.
The fishermen do not agree with the
warden In this respect. They claim
that the amount Of fish taken In recent
years has been vastly reduced. because
OF the strictness OF the fishing laws,
and the riEidity Of their enforcement.
Some OF the anglers are inclined to
blame the presence Of the carp in such
vast numbers, for tho gradual disap-
pearance OF other and more desirable
varieties.
One local fisherman makes snE-
gestion. He says the present fishing
law should be repealed, and that they
be given permission to use their nets
in the sloushs and lakes. but prohibited
from selling any game Ash. This. ne
declares, Will preserve the game fish,
~ these would be thrown back into
the river or slough II they could not be
sold. At the same time II will assist
In clearing the waters Of the enemies
Of Game hsh, such ~ carp. dog -hsh and
Gars. The fishermen he says would
save the carp for market, and would
destroy Ears and other inedible species
Of fsh which abound in the waters Of
the Mississippi and It's tributary
streams.
