The first test of Indiana's new in

start in st. Joseph superior court
here today with several local attor-
neys leading the attack.
Seven suits, challenging constitu-
tionality of various phases of the
law, have been consolidated by
agreement of both sides to expedite
hearing on all points and to make
major test of the statute.
In five of the actions, the state
tax boards construction of the law
is attacked. One of them charges
that while the law may be consti-
tutional as an excise tax, it gives
the state no authority to exempt in
tangibles from regular property tax

BUFFALO,, ONCE
RARE ANIMAL,
is ON INCREASE
Efforts of National Park
Service Rewarded as
Herds Grow.
BY DAVID DIETZ
seriDps Howard Science Editor

A NIMALS of western America,
L n once threatened with total ex-
tinction, are being saved in the
United States national parks.
The national park service has
done particularly fine work in saw
ing the bison-or buffalo, as he is
more often called-in Yellowstone
national park, and the antelope at
the Grand canyon.
Yellowstone national park, one of
the great areas ranged by buffalo
in their wild state, suffered from
depletion in the herds of these
animals almost to the point of ex-
tinction," Horace M. Albright, di-
rector Of the national park service,
says.
A few new animals, specially Sc
lected from Texas and Montana
herds, were introduced into the park,
intensive management undertaken,
and today the bison herd numbers
over a thousand and could be much
larger were the range sufficient to
support a greater number.
Thrive in Canyon
I'm the Grand canyon an inter-
esting restocking effort with antelope
is just passing out of the expert
mental stage.
"At one time these plains ante
lope were plentiful at the canyon,
but changing conditions, possibly
caused largely by the wide spread of
the descendants of hardy burros left
in the canyon by prospectors lured
to other fields, brought about their
disappearance from their former
range.
In 1924, twelve antelope kids,
six bucks and six does, were taken
to the canyon, fed and kept under
close observation for some time
then released on the Tonic Plat
form, where it was hoped they would
thrive and multiply"
Oppose Other Species
At first, it did not look as though
the antelopes would survive in the
Canyon. They found the new con-
ditions difficult and fell a prey to
predatory animals.
After five years of fighting against
odds, by the end of 1929 the herd
included only nine animals, four of
them kids. But apparently, better
days are ahead.
Mr.. Albright points out that it is
a fundamental policy of the park
system only to restock with animals
which originally belonged in the re-
gion. The system is opposed to the
introduction of exotic species of ami
mails or plants.

 TRY ALLOTMENT
 FOR HOG RAISING
Experiment Proves Par= tially Successful in
 Farm Relief Plan

Washington-(UP)-A form of domestic allotment farm relief op- crates for hog production in the Netherlands and apparently is par tially successful.
 The probability of domestic ai- 1otment becoming law with the Roosevelt administration arouses interest in the agriculture depart ment's explanation of the Dutch program.
 Hog production control centers to the number designated by the Dutch ministry of agriculture.
 The responsibility for earmark- ing, it was explained, rests upoE eleven "Provincials Centrals" which have been established by the "Hog Central" The minister of agricul- ture determines periodically the total number of marks to be placed. Earmarks can be placed only on hogs belonging to members of district organizations under the provincial centrals' supervision.
 The hog central agrees to pur- chase at a fixed price all hogs de- livered by producers in conform ity with present or future regu- lations. If farmers offerings appear excessive, the central may hold them up.
 The central also establishes a price stabilization fund. A tax levied on most hogs slaughtered in the Netherlands is the main support of the stabilization fund. Hogs slaughtered for consumption by owners are also taxed, except in cases where the tax has been adjudged as excessively burden some.

President Still
 Forging Ahead
(Continued from Page D

All activities except those pertin- ent to the nation wide financial emergency were subordinated.
 The president was hopeful the public would react swiftly to his plan to open new bank accounts which can be drawn upon at once. Money put in such accounts must be kept available by the banks, de- posted in the federal reserve banks or invested in government bonds.
 MT Roosevelt outlined this plan to the governors and representa- lives from 31 states who gathered at the White House at his invita- ton.
 Recognized government bonds" he. told the executives, "are as safe as government currency. They have the same credit back of them. And, therefore, If we persuade peo- pie all through the country when their salary checks come in, to de- posit them in new accounts, which new accounts will be held in trust, and the money kept in one of the new forms have mentioned, we have made progress
 He praised the states for their action in the banking crisis. after ward explaining that i've want. if possible. to have a general banking situation, that is to say covering national banks and state banks. as uniform as possible throughout the country and at the same time we want to cooperate with all the states in bringing about that uni- formity. I have no desire to have this matter centralized down here in Washington any more than we can help" v
 MT Roosevelt took time out from the banking problem to appoint Prof Rexford Guy Tugwell of New York assistant secretary of agri- culture. Tugweli was a member oi the "brain trust" that formulated the Roosevelt campaign policies.

 Caucus rules will gag possible opposition within the democratic majorities in senate and house during the extraordinary session of congress which convenes Thursday.
 Senate democrats authorized the caucus gag yesterday by a vote of i. 50 to 3. House democrats act to- morrow.
 What President Roosevelt wants will be enacted" promised Rep Rainey, democrat, III, who will be speaker of the house.
 Congress convenes at noon Thurs day, 12 hours before the modified financial holiday is scheduled to end. If banking measures are not ready for passage by then, congress may provide for extension of the holiday, complete it's organization and adjourn for two or three days while administration and congress sional leaders whip the legislation into shape. The administration hopes the legislation will be ready and congress will. act so quickly that no extension will be neces- sary.
 Precedent for what amounts to group dictatorship on major presidential policy is found in the Wilson administration when the democrats were last in power. Caucus rules enabling a majority to bind protesting minority aroused protests from democrats before and during the war.
 Three dissenting democrats were lost yesterday in a landslide ap- proval of caucus rules for the sen- ate. The three were Costigan, Colo, Long, La, and McGill, Kan.

 Two interesting features deve1- cped today concerning currency. Storekeepers reported that many bills apparently hoarded away for years had made their appearance. Bankers look forward to a repeti- tion of this fact to keeping Water bury supplied with cash. The other angle came to light when the Chamber of Commerce appealed to the managers of local chain stores to keep all money possible in Waterbury and discontinue the practice several have of shipping large amounts by express or under special guard to New York city, Boston or other cities where their particular headquarters are To- cated.
 Hundreds of merchants and others visited this morning the money exchange established at the Merchants Trust company and ob- tained generous amounts of petty cash. This is enabling theaters, the Connecticut Company, hotels and others to continue changing bills of all denominations. In accordance with a vote of the clearing house association the money exchange will continue to operate at the Mer- chants Trust until its necessity is no longer apparent.
 The scrip idea has taken the public fancy. It has become inter- ested in the plan and is expected to adapt itself readily to the sub- stitution.

Only a comparatively small num- Der of amateur observers have ob- served the small planet Mercury which lies closest to the sun. In northern attitudes it, is never seen against totally dark sky because it can never reach a position more than twenty-eight degrees from the sun. To observe it one must search the heavens shortly after sunset or before sunrise at the favorable op- portunities of greatest elongation from the sun. As an evening star the most favorable opportunities of greatest elongation occurs in the spring and the date for this year is March 6.
