FARMERS have whip hand Have Control Os Both Houses Os State j Legislature This Year (By the United Press) Indianapolis, Jan. 11. —Legislation to benefit Indiana farmers will have pretty easy sailing in the legislature if all the farmer members pull together. Counting of noses in the house of representatives today revealed fortyseven farmers. In the senate there are eleven. Four representatives from farming communities who are not farmers voting with the farmer element in the house could put special legislation through the lower branch. The numerical strength of the farm bloc in the senate and the influence they could wield by acting concertedly would give them the whip hand there. Despite this strength, some meas-1 ures on the program of the Indiana I Federation of Farmers’ association ’ may encounter stormy seas anil some i ot them may even find opposition i, among the dirt farmers themselves, j. ■ This situation prevailing in both, I branches made the prospect brighter i for the proposed two-cent tax on gas--11 oline to be used in road construction. ; The federation endorsed the tax. Other matters on the federation | program include: ! 1. Support of the state highway! ,' commission and opposition to any! measure seeking its abolition. 2. Postponement of action by the legislature on the educational survey ; j and its recommendations. The stir vey was endorsed by Governor McCray, who asked that some of its rec- ' ommendatlons be carried out, chief i among which is that the county instead of the township be made a unit i in school government, carrying the provision for taking school jurisdic--1 tion away from township trustees. 3. Enactment of an income tax law. 4. Repeal of the county unit road : law. 5. Increase of motor vehicle registration fees fifty per cent in line with suggestions made by Governor McCray in his message. 6. Enactment of a law establishing a perpetual closed hunting season on quail, pheasants and prairie chickens. 7. Strengthening of the trespass law designed to prevent hunters from roaming at will over the countryside. | killing livestock and endangering? the i lives of the farmer and his family. | All of the measures may not be car- i ried out by the legislature, but the. farmers who are members of the fed-; ’ eration will support them and en-1 1 ' deavor to put them over. !' There was no indication that a farm ■' bloc such as controlled congress and i ’ harrassed President Harding would be ; 1 formed unless an organized opposition ; ■ to the farmer interests should spring; up. —.—• Goshen, Ind., Jan. 11. —Substantiating the claims of weather prophets that the winter will continue to be "an open one," several robins have (been seen here during the past few ' days. > o The first gold to arrive in Canada I since the signing of the Armistice has been received from New York.

orphan asylums, Judge Lockyear during 1922 saved Vanderburgh county S2OO u month. Judge Lockyear took the position that institutions throughout the state have been profiteering from their orphan charges by reaping profits from their labor. The institutions also collect the county allowance for the orphans after the children become self- ■ * ■ 1 - 11

supporting, according to Judge Lockyear. By returning children to their mothers, the county is not required to pay the allowance after they be'come self-supporting. In addition to this, tlie children receive the benefit of homd 1 training and escape the stigma tiiat accompanies som)u orphanages.
