Order to lnorsass Hunting Licenses
-Moers's Statement May Save Bill
From osfsat-has Passed House.
Special to mines Republican.

Special to Times Republican.
Des Moines, March 21.-Lieutenant
Governor Moore came to the rescue Of
the Iowa quail and prairie chickens in
the senate fish and game committee
meeting yesterday afternoon when the
MoFarlane bill making a closed season
on quail and prairie chickens for five
years. and a companion bill by Grout,
came up for consideration. Ut is pos
slble that the timely entry Of the lieu
tenant governor may save the bill.
An open meeting was held by the
senate fish and game committee on the
bill. e. C. Hinshaw, state fish and
game warden. and a number Of others
who are opposing the bill were present.
Came Warden Hinshaw had just fin
ished making a most effective speech
against the closed season when LieA-
tenant Governor Moore, who had been
sitting in his private office just off the
room where the meeting was held, en-
tered the committee room.
II would like to know whether OF not
the main reason you are fayoring this
bill is because its enactment might cut
down the state revenue from hunting
licenses?" asked the governor, referr-
ing to statistics which the game war
den had quoted from Kansas, where
the enactment Of similar law had re-
duced the license money. The state
game warden denied that this was
his main reason. He argued that the
birds would be better protected by a
short season because then there would
not be SO much sn!ping or shooting al
all seasons Of the year.
'Well 7 want to tell you l favor this
law for closed season on these birds, >
said the lieutenant governor. mot so
very long ago flock Of quail stayed
around my home. When the open sea-
son for quail came two hunters drove
those quail out of public park, where
they were protected and after follow
ing them to place where they could
legally shoot them they bagged every
one Of them. Now that was legal in
the eyes Of the law but in every other
respect It was an outrage"
Representative MoFarlanes bill has
already passed the house, receiving a
vote Of 90 to Is. and it ~ being pre-
dicted 1t will pass the senate.
Iowa City can have city election
next Monday with full list Of candi-
dates after all. The legislature yester-
day passed an enabling act which
makes legal the filing Of nomination
papers ten days before the election.
altho tho Twenty eighth general assem-
bly, amended the law making It fifteen
days before instead of ten.
When Nomination papers were filed
last Saturday 1t was discovered that
they were five days too late to be legal.
For time it appeared as tho there
could be no legal election. Then it was
