THE SQUIRREL PEST.

Judge Chas. Lindley has written the
folio wing letter to one of the editors of
the Contra Costa Gazette in response
to letter from that gentleman re-
questing the Judges opinion of the
squirrel law of Contra Costa county:
To Chas. B. Porter, of the Contra Costa
Gazette:
DEAR SIR: Your letter and various
numbers of the Contra Costa Gazette
and copy of your squirrel law came
duly to hand. 1 regret that l have
been so much in ignorance as to your
local law and your efforts to extermi-
nate the pests in your county and Ala
media. The evil is great and must be
met by effective remedies. The expe-
rience of your people ought to furnish
the best evidence as to the efficiency
of your local law. If it is a success,
then let it be extended to the other
counties of the State. If / had known
Of its existence and of the efforts to
put it in operation, | should never
have published my draft OF an act for
the accomplishment of the same pur-
pose, without informing myself as to
your local act, and especially as to its
efficiency in execution. 1 am not
welded to my own rough draft nor to
any particular plan. l only desire to
see an efficient general law upon the
subject. Upon the mere reading of
your law, it appears to me that there
are too many conditions, uncertain
ties and complications about it to ad-
nit of efficient execution; but if the
squirrels were ear-marked and brand
ed, and known to belong to particu-
lar mans farm, and had no migratory
habits, then it would be practicable to
hold him to the duty of destroying
them and make it a penal offense If
ne did not.
Experiences under your law may
demonstrate that these appearances
are not real obstacles. The advan-
tages had in my mind pertaining to
the plan of turning out all able-bOdied
citizens five or six days in the year,
consisted in the training of the people
lOl bulb WOIh.
observe by your paper that your
people are depending much upon Uol-
,,ltary associations to accomplish the
same ends, and assist in executing the
law which would probably be dead
letter without such assistance. The
object in levying tax by school districts
as expressed in my draft was to make
the vacant lands pay for killing the
squirrels they produce. The tax
would be light if the plan of turning
out the people to do the killing, were
adopted.
Upon the subject of special lien
on the land provided for in your law
for the expenses of Squirrel Inspec-
tor, concerning which you ask my
opinion, l can only say that have
not the facilities at hand to make the
necessary examination, as predicate
for satisfactory opinion. At first
glance it seems to me that the demand
must first go to judgment for an ascer-
tained amount on a claim, which
must be considered in the nature of a
penalty for non-performance of pub
lie duty which the law enjoins. The
lien as in other cases would date from
the judgment and would be general
rather than special.
Your law calls this liability a debt.
Strictly speaking it requires the con-

AS the result Of our enterprise, we find that
the people come up to the support of the En-

We gave the intelligence from Philadelphia,
some time time ago, that the bayonet cactus
had been manufactured into an excellent
quality OF paper. 1t is a fortunate thing that
this is so for otherwise there is almost dan
ger that the paper market would prove une-
growing grow consumption OF white paper in Cal
ifornia, arising from a development Of the
daily and weekly press utterly without pre-
cedent.-Erpress
Thank God for the bayonet cactus.

TO Hon. John r. Mcconnell, Henry p

Assuming the right to interrogate
legislative candidates, 1 ask:
!. Are you in favor of the adoption
of an efficient general law for the de-
struction of squirrels
2. Are you in favor of a law requir-
ing practical education in the indus
tries in the State University after the
spirit of the plan contained in the
Handbook of the Kansas State Ag-
ricultural College, "a copy of which
book l leave with the editor for your
use-or on a similar plan?
Are you in favor of establishing an
industrial and theoretical branch of
the University in Los Angeles county?

sent of debtor and creditor to create
a debt. When a penalty in the way
of a fine has been adjudged against a
person by court or a competent jur-
isdiction it then becomes debt A
person cannot be divested of his prop
erty without his consent except by due
process of law. Your squirrel process
may be ''due process" 1t is at all
events novel process that illrequire
not only one but several 'test casesn
to ascertain it's full meaning. Before
it is extended to the other counties,
allowing its theories to be right, it
needs to be Thoroughly reconstructed,
so as to give it greater brevity, certain
ty, directness and efficiency.
