The newspapers Of the country,
North, East, West and South. are di-
Vided in their opinions concerning the
Pacific railroads funding bills. 1t may
be true as stated by some that the
bill just turned down by the house did
not fully cover the requirements of the
case, and that the only course left open
70 the government was one of fore
closure which, upon the present basis
Of values, would undoubtedly result in
a sale of the properties of the Union
and Central Pacific railroads at price
which would no more than pay off the
srst liens against the property, leaving
the government with nothing to show
for its second mortgage. 1t may also
be true that the government, on the
other hand, might we'll afford to take
the properties and run them as gov
ernment railroads. 1t may also be
true that there is a syndicate Of Ger
man capitalists with $4000O,00O behind
them ready to pay off the face of the
governments second mortgage and
buy in the properties for their own use.
Any man who has carefully studied
the entire situation and is acquainted
with the history of these properties,
even admitting all of the alleged steal
fngs and robberies on the part of past
stockholders and officers, must be con-
hot l,
mitted by this government if It either
permits the passage of bill which
shall place the ownership and opera
ton of these roads in the hands of the
government direct, or which shall per-
NIT the title Of these properties to pass
to any foreign country. The expert
ences by Germany, Italy and France
in operating railroads under direct
governmental control are well known
Each attempt proved failure, and ev-
cry other such attempt must prove a
failure in any other country. Political
machinery cannot operate a traffic
business such as is conducted by
an ordinary railroad. England saga
ciously passed railroad clearing house
bill, and today it's railroads are profit
ably operated under supervision of
government officers, with satisfaction
TO the people at large, as we'll as to
the officers of the companies and the
government. The principle Of the clear
ing house is similar to that Of our
interstate commerce commission, with
the exception that the English clearing
house has authority to carry out it's
own orders. No one would like to see

foreigners. We have one instance Of

A NEW GAME LAW

hAC0ohAC WhANh "AAA VI
be introduced in the legislature is
intended to take the place of all
other laws general, special or local
and is very sweeping in its pro-
visions.
The first section forbids Sunday
hunting and shooting and provides
penalty of $25 for violation.
The second section relates to song
and insectivorous birds, ,enumerating
them, and is for their protection.
They cannot under it be killed or
taken by any one except those hold
ing a scientific certificate.
The third and fourth sections
make the open season from October
18th to December 18th for birds and
deer and puts a ban on all deer hunt
ing with dogs in this wise: " Any
dog or dogs pursuing or killing any
elk, deer or fawn, or following on
the track Of any elk, deer or fawn
are hereby declared a public nuis-
ance, and may be killed by any per-
son when so seen, and the owner or
owners of such dog or dogs shall
have no recourse at law whatever. "
The fifth section is the one which
will be most far-reaching, and oc-
casion greatest discussion. 1t pro-
hibits hunting, for the purpose of
selling the game, and makes it un-
lawful for any person to purchase,
sell, or expose for sale any game
taken or shot in the State, and af-
fixes a penalty of 800 for killins
deer and $25 for killing birds con-
trary to this section, or an imprison-
ment of one day for each dollar of
fine.
The sixth section is to prevent
shipping game out of the State.
The eighth and ninth sections for
bid the use of ferrets, traps, snares,
deerlicks, pitfalls or any device
whatever, and the tenth and elev-
enth sections provide for procedure
under the act and evidence required.
Possession of any such game or a
fresh skin, or portion of a carcass
shall be prima facie evidence of
guilt, and justices may impose the
fines prescribed or on refusal to pay,
imprison the violators, and provid-
ing for an appeal to the Quarter
Sessions.
If enacted in a law this bill would
seem to be ample protection for the
city sportsmen, and to some extent
to game, but it lacks one very inn
portant element in that it does not
protect the land owners. If a pro-
vision were added that no one should
be allowed to hunt or fish on the
lands of another without consent OF
of the owner the farmer would have
his rights too, in this matter. If this
is not done the bill ought not tc
become law.
