MISSOURI LEGISLATORS
DISCUSS VARIOUS
SPECIES OF SKUNkS

jefferson City. Mo. Jan 30
Skunks-the fur bearing kind-and
the ethics of killing them when they
get into ones hen house were dis
cussed by the Missouri house Satur-
day.
The question was projected thru in
PRODUCTION of n bill to make Novem-
Der n closed month for the killing of
FUR bearing animals. The debate was
led by the author of the bill, Rep
rcsentative Pelts who argued that the
pelts of furbearing animals killed too
early in the season have little value.
Some members of the house took UNI
bragg at clause providing that a
furbearing animal committing depre-
dations may be killed at any time.
That brought tho hen house skunk
into the limolight.
The trouble is that lot of skunks
kill skunks in the closed season and
say they caught them in their own
hen houses" one member shouted.
Tho house voted to send the mea-
sure to engrossment.

(By Mark SullivanD

Washington, u. c., Jan. 29.-It is
taken for granted that Harding will
offer the post of Attorney General to
Harry NJ, Daugherty of Ohio.
The question remaining seems to be
merely whether Daugherty will take
it. A year ago or more. when Daus-
herty began his effort to make Hard
ing president. he told Harding that If
the attempt were successful he
wouldn't take any office.
But this attitude on Daugherty's part
seems to have gone the way of many
other things that politicians say when
the contingency seems remote. Those
who are best informed now believe that
Daugherty wants to accept the offer.
At times he has seemed to be OF two
minds about it. saying on ono day that
he couldn't afford to take 1t and that
he couldn't move his family to Wash
ington, More lately, however, Daug
herty's friends say no will take tho
appointment for the purpose of hang
ing IL around his neck as a decoration.

The Question Of the Matter Seems to Be If Daugherty

basis of picking one of the three or
four leading men in his line, then In
that case there arc several hundred
lawyers in tho United States who
would come to his mind before Daug-
horty would. Daugherty is not even
in the class OF lawyers whose names
would suggest themselves to any open
minded person picking an Attorney
| General on tho sole basis of legal
achievements and standing in the pro-
fesson.
Daugherty has a law ONCE in Col
unbus and two minor partners. but.
as some one expressed 1t, IL the Amer
lean Bar association should choose to
look into Daugherty's career and make
a mathematical calculation of the num-
er of hours he has spent arguing be-
, fore Judges in court, or studying the
law books in his office, or otherwise
in anything that constitutes what peo-
pic mean when they think of the prac-
tice of the law. the result would be
pretty DANA aging to Daugherty's
chances of appointment Tho practices
Daueherty has il chiefly representing
big public service corporations before
tho public utility commission of the
state. Daugherty's enemies say that
he has made his political career and
that he gets his clients as a lawyer
by virtue OF his standing as a politi-
clan. There may be something in this.
but ] doubt II it is wholly fair to
Dsugherty.
As Daueherty, at the age of 81. re-
viows his career, appraises his for
tunes and his present standing as a
lawyer. he must be compelled to reflect
that tho time and energy he has de-
voted TO politics arc now dust and
ashes and that he would have a better
place in the world II he had devoted
himself to the law. Politics has not
helped DauSherty, 1t has been a hand
J leap to him. Dt.ugherty as Attorney
General would be a deplorable appoint
ment but 1t is necessary to be fair to
/ him nevertheless. and 1t is hardly fair
to conclude that Daugherty is in pol
tiles for the sake OF tho money he
makes as n lawyer. Daugherty is a
perfect example of the politicians who
play the game for tho love of the
fighting. because tho rough and tumble
and intrigue of 1t is a part of his
/ nature.

whom no roundly scored will remem-
ber him when some OF his bills arc
up for final passage. Porter. Stubblo-
field ana Mortonson in the house and

for publication and so far hsvo said
practically nothing on tho floor of

tenson expressed the idea tho other
day that they believed they could get

for awhile yet. Stubblefield feels
there is n good chance to get tho
Polytechnic school for Pueblo. so he is
laying back intending TO mako his big
fight for that school.
Morten.on Watching Primary Inv
Mortenson Is more interested In the
primary law than any thing else. Yet
he is in tho same Fix as smany others.
Tho two parties declared against the
present law but in favor of some sort
OF "A primary that will not abolish
party control. So far no one has been
able to think up n law that will havo
the primary and not abolish party con-
troi except the law under which the
state is now operating. a direct pri-
mary will abolish party control. \
direct convention system will abolish
tho primary feature OF the present
law. 1t must be the choice of either
the present law, the direct primary
or the direct convention system. Nor
tenson realizes this and Is in a guam
Diary over what to do. Tic politicians
want the primary abolished and the old
convention system reinstated. Tho
public wants some sort of a primary.
Porter is interested in the game
laws of the state and in seeing that
the game and fish commissioner has n
sufficient number of deputies to en-
force the laws and to protect the game
for the benefit of the residents OF tho
state. He is secretary of the fin and
feather club of Pueblo.
wntchful Waiting For Jones
Jones is watching developments and
hasn't said a word so far "I'll get the
hang of the thing one OF these days
and then you will get stories enough
from me-" was the reply he made
the other day when asked for a state
ment.
Peterson is too old a horse at the
gamo to need any questioning over
stories. He is looking after the re.
apportionment bills so far as congress
sional districts are concerned. He also
has one eve on the consolidation bills

DEUCE OF BILLS
Final Avalanche of Proposed
Laws Hits Legislature.
SiXty-TWO Measures Dumped in
Hopper This Morning.
CURTAIN FALL SATURDAY NIGHT
Nothing But Committee Bills
Allowed After That.
Grand Total for Session PrOba-
bly, Will Reach 1880.

Final deluge of bills started today in
both the house and senate. All indi-
vidual bills must be in the hopper
when the curtain falls Saturday night
under terms of a resolution adopted
by both houses. In the final burst of
speed this morning house members in
troduced thirty-two new bills, while
the senate originated thirty proposed
new laws. Additional presentation of
bills will be permitted late this after
noon in both houses.
A total of 1,195 bills have been in
troduced in the legislature during the
session. OF these .631 have originated
in the house, while 564 were presented
in the senate. 1t is probable that the
total Saturday night will reach 1900.
Grand Total About 1 800.
While the lid goes on individual bills
with the end of the weeks activities,
committee bills will be permitted dur
ing the remainder of the session. The
grand total for the year is expected to
be between ], 400 and 1900. Proposed
laws before the legislature this year
have been fewer in number than in
several years. During an ordinary ses-
sion of the Legislature 100 to 1900
bills are Offered. Once during the last
ten years the total fell below 1900.
Once-in 1915-it reached 1900.
No action has been taken in either
house regarding final adjournment. A
resolution to this effect may come, tho,
in the next week or ten days. Most
members believe the lawmakers will go
home not later than March Is.

HUGHES WILL HELP
New Cabinet Premier Assists in
Filling Vacancies.
Hoover Almost Certain Of
Being Secretary of Commerce.

ST. Augustine, Fla, Feb. 18.-
Charles E. Hughes, who will be pre-
mier of the Harding cabinet, was due
here today to confer with the presi-
dent elect regarding international polf-
cies of the incoming administration
and appointments for posts in the state
department and diplomatic services.
Tho it is only two weeks from to-
day that Harding becomes president,
he has yet to make final decisions on
four places in the cabinet. Unex-
pected developments may cause an
entire Encouragement of the present
lineup, but Harding does not think
this will be necessary. The posts I'M
filled are navy, commerce, labor and
treasury.
Harding's closest friends today be-
lieved there is little question but that
Andrew w. Mellon of Pittsburgh, will
be made secretary of the treasury.
There was also a growing impress
sion that A. T. Hert u Kentucky will
enter the cabinet, possibly as secretary
of the navy.
Herbert Hoover, it was stated au
thoritatively today. is far from elimin-
ated and may become secretary Of
commerce.
William Boyce Thompson, New
York capitalist, is understood to be
among those under consideration to
head the federal reserve board. He
is a close friend of Will H. Hays, ma
tional Repu blican chairman, and came
here with Hays this week.
