CONSERVATION ADVOCATED FOR HOOSIER STATE Richard Lieber, Director, Pleads in Behalf of Future. WEALTH OF INDIANA Special to The Times. | LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 14— Richard Lieber of Indianapolis, director of conservation In Indiana, addressed the annual meeting last night of the Tippecanoe County Fish, Game and Bird Protective Association. His subject was ‘‘Conservation in Indiana,” and he outlined in detail how the State department, of which he is director, is engaged at underwriting the future prosperity and happiness of generations to come through co-ordinated efforts at pointing the way toward judicious use of natural resources and the prevention of unneceseary wastes. Mr. Lieber pointed out that the foundation of our national institutions rests upon the country’s wealth of natural resources. Without these resources neither political nor social development or advancement could have been made, he said. At least not in the proportions we know them. Organized movement toward conservation is scarcely fifteen years old, he said. This followed a transitory period of profligate uses and waste. It was as late of 1919 that Indiana, through creation of a department of conservation, began the work of putting its house in order, yet marvelous results for the betterment of mankind have been brought about In a short time, he declared. HOOSIER SOIL UNEXCELLED. •The speaker pointed out that in the beginning our land was a veritable treasure trove. The soil was unexcelled In richness anywhere In the world, the mountains were Ailed with minerals of all sorts, our former gigantic forests, I streams, wealth in oil, made possible In an unheard-of short time, the growth of this Hercules among nations. He showed that the pioneer coming to this land was destructive before he could be constructive. It could not have been otherwise. The pioneer fought civilization's battles, that civilization may enjoy peace and prosperity. He cautioned that some of these destructive habits of the settler took root In our being and destruction continued where construction was not needed. Describing the work of the six divisions of the conservation department, he said in part: “The division of geology is of daily practical assistance to the oil and gas industry, the coal operator, to the cement manufacturer, to the user of molding sands, glass sands, abrasives and to our important building stone industry. By an agreement almost ideal the geological staff of Indiana University has charge of the requirements of the work of tbu division. Indiana University pays (be salary of the State Geologist. Tne work along lines of economic geology is determined oy the departrue it, and carried sat rv the State Geologise. 1 cl* sr-

ENTOMOLOGY DEPARTMENT. “The division of entomology assists the orchardist. It Is on a constant lookout for new insect pests and keeps farmers posted on such as chinch bugs, army worms, Hessian fly and destructive scales. It protects them In case of wheat diseases so far as proper quarantines are concerned. Apiary work Is a subdivision of entomology. Indiana last year produced In excess of 6,000,000 pounds of honey. The State entimologlst and assistants waged a constant fight against European and American foulbroods, two most destructive diseases among bees. Ispectlon work has reduced the diseases to about 4 per cent against 14 per cent four years ago. “The forestry division maintains a state forest near Henryville, that Is the largest hardwood experiment station in the United States.

The game warden service formerly purely political, is today a non-political unit—a unit of public service. Last pionth, for Instance, the force of 27 officers made 42 more arregts of law violators than a force of 29 officers made in the record year under political control. In the fiscal year ending Sept. 30, the division planted over ten million young fish in the State’s public waters. One hundred and thirty fish, game and bird protective associations with a combined membership of 23,000 residents of the State are affiliated with the division, and the Indiana Audubon Society closely cooperates with it ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT NEW. “The division of engineering, added at the last Legislature, in Its makeup, Is a counterpart of that of geology, working with Purdue University.

Soldier ‘Bonus ’ Develops Into Big Political Row; Staid Solons Run Rings

By ROBERT BARRY. WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.—Following a conference with President Harding on the soldier ‘ bonus" bill, Senator Borah of Idaho made a fervid attack on the measure In the Senate late Monday. He quoted the President’s objections to the legislation in July, 1921, and gave all manner of statistics to show that economic conditions which Mr. Harding then held to menace the financial stability of the Nation were the same at this time. “Financial restoration is no nearer than when the President spoke, but the election is nearer,” Mr. Borah said, “and I desire here and now to enter the prophecy that this ‘bonus’ bill will be pas'ed without any provision being made for Its payment. But you cannot deceive the taxpayer by removing the tax provisions from the bill and carrying them in another measure. Someone must pay the bill and you will find there are more taxpayers than ex-service men In America.” Mr. Borah’s forecast that the "bonus” advocates would attempt the political deceit of granting “adjusted compensation” estimated variously to coat from $2,000,000,000 to $5,000,000,000, without providing means to enable the Treasury to make the payment, was challenged in competent Senate quarters. It was staled, furthermore, that President Harding and Secretary Mellon never would recede from their antagonism to any auch program. There was less positiveness, however, among Republicans In the House, where veteran legislators ran around In circles and babbled like day-dreaming school boys over methods of obtaining billions of dollars. The President and Mr. Mellon were In conference on the “bonus” bill last night. There was every reason to believe the great uproar, pro and con, over ths legislation, Indicated by a great volume of letters anti telegrams reaching the White House and Capitol, had not moved the President from his determination to play fair with both the soldier and the taxpayer by insisting the bill should carrj means for paying the bill. There is no attempt to Interfere with the acts of Congress, but decision as to political policy rests just as heavily on the executive a son the legislative 1n the existing situation. Representative Fordney and his associates on the Ways and Means Committee

are In a state bordering on panic. The outcry from farm and factory. North, South, East and West, over the proposed “eight-point tax program,” reached such proportions that Mr. Fordney ai peared ready to deny he ever had any such plan lu mind. With others fiosclng toward a political whirlpool * - is ready to grasp the straw of another bond Issue When the holders of Liberty bonds whose investments would suffer are heard from it is not at all improbable the gentleman from Michigan will he Just as certain he never favored that suggestion. There may be one other trial balloon labeled “sales tax” cut loose to see how winds are blowing In the farming rei glons, but the antics of the House leaders appeared actually to give point to the Borah prophecy of a bill without provision for raising the money. SAME OLD BROMIDES DRAGGED OUT BY BOHAH. Senator Borah based his opposition to the “bonus” bill on two grounds. He held It, first to Imperil the disposition and ability of tbe Government to care properly for the ex-soldiers to whom It owes Us greatest debt—the wounded, the sick and disabled. Futhermore, he contended, a vital principle of government was Involved In that a money value would

be placed on patriotism, a definite sohed- | ule of payments fixed for service for the flag, and In this case that “compensation” would be less than vhat charwomen are paid for scrubbing tue floors of the Cap- I itol. After saying that everythng possible should be done for the disabled soldier, Mr. Borah cited that appropriations to and Including 1921, aggregated $1,175,605,426 for soldier relief, and with Senator Warren, chairman of the Appropriations Committee, estimated the total for 1922 would run to about $500,000,000. Basing the estimate In part on the ratio of Civil War pensions in 1875 ($29,980,000) to what they were In 1921, ($279,150,000), Mr Borah said th> ultimate cost of soldier payments bj he Government would approach the stupendous and staggering sum of $75,’ (0,000,000. When Se: itor Jones, of New Mexico, challenged he President and Mr. Borah fdr referr! g to the “bonus” as a “grat- j ulty,” the Idaho Senator said he preferred to hink payment of $2 a day, equalling t ie pay of a stable boy, was a gratuity irom a generous government Instead of adequate “compensation” for men who risked their lives for their flag. FOB ONCE SENATOR AGREES WITH MELLON. “There is no trouble about voting these huge appropriations so long as we get the revenues out of the air,” Mr. Borah added. “It Is easy to make the appropriations, then trust to divine aid for the revenues. But, when it Is proposed to tax automobile owners, or users of gasoline or postage a different situation arises and we do discover there are more taxpayers than ex-service men. “Mr. Mellon has informed us and he Is entirely correct, that our sources of reve-

nue are rrpldly being dried op. Mors significant than that, however, la the fact that the patience of the taxpaying public rapidly is being exhausted. It U one thing to have your tax collection sources exhausted. It la another to have the patience of the taxpaying public exhausted.” Senator Borah cited the acute agricultural conditions and the serious problem of unemployment in warning against ad* action by Congress to aggravate the eco nomlc situation. Senator Edge of New Jersey declaret, In f. statement he would oppose the "boius” bill If It were proposed to levy further taxes on “business and industrial enterprise." but that ‘‘there might be some Justification for passing the bill” If It were to be paid by a sales tax. The proposed bond Issue plan would provide for Immediate offering of $125,000,000 of bonds to meet the Initial “bonus” payments, and provision that foreign war bonds would be utilised subsequently.—Copyright, 1922 by Public Ledger Company.
