Anti-Game Shipping Ordi-
nance Knocked
Out.

The Sp3rtsmen's Association and the
Supervisors of Stanislaus County have
received a setback al the hands Of The
Justices Of the Supreme Court Some time
ago the Stanislaus Supervisors passed an
ordinance making il a midemeanor 10 ship
game out OF the county. This was aimed
al the market hunters. who persisted in
using huge scatter guns throwing q pound
~ shot into the fiocks of birds
The nrSt rcrsOn 20 contest this ordi-
nance Was market hunter named James
Knapp, who attempted 70 ship q Quaati-
y of ducks 20 this city. He was arres. ed

The Proposed Quail Law.

t. the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal:
see that a bill for the protection of quails
for period of three years is in a fair way
to become a law in Indiana. There is no
reason why this should be done More
quails were left after the open season which
closed Jan. l than at any time for several
years. 1t has been demonstrated beyond
doubt that the hunters are not responsible
for the ebb and flow of the quail tide. One
week of the right kind of weather kills
more birds than all the guns combined in
two years. The gist of the whole matter is
that we have a class of people who do not
hunt and who class all that do as loafers
and trespassers, holding that they ought to
be suppressed by law. This class has not
been backward in demanding laws for their
so-caled protection, and in every instance
this demand has been cheerfully complied
with. Every farmer in the State is now
amply protected. written permission being
necessary in order to enter or hunt on the
land of any one. The sportsmen of Indiana
have never questioned this as being any
thing but what was due those landowners
W no were opposed TO hunting. But, for
tunately, we have plenty of farmers who
rave no objections TO a decent sportsman
shooting over their farms, and many own
guns and dogs and are keen sportsmen. To
this class such a law as is now proposed
virtually q dog-in-the-manger policy that
ays: Il don't shoot, and ! want a law to
Keep everybody else from shooting. True, /
have ample protection and don't allow a gun
fred on my farm. ard would prosecute my
brother If | caught him hunting on my land,
but Neighbor A. is hunter and invites his
friends out to shoot. I want a law 10 keep
him from it for three years at least There
can be no question as to the motive behind
tits proposed three years close season.
The sportsmen Of Indiana expect that the
fair-mnded honorable gentlemen they have
sent 70 indianapolis as lawmakers and rep
resentative men viii look a this measure in
its true light. and take into consideration
the laws now in force, which particularly
favors the promoters of this proposed meas
IRE. It is hoped they will recognize the
fact that sportsmen are not loafers but law
abiding citizens, are entitled to be recog-
nized as SUCH and have ever been the first
10 favor and promote game protection and
sensible legislation i'm this direction We
ask and expect just recognition at their
hands w i. JONES.

because. since the passage of the act pro-
Viding for railway aid in 1859, The taxable
property of Indiana has SO enormously in
creased, partly because OF the natural in
crease and partly because of the tax act or
1891, that per cent. aid in 1863 would not
have yielded q greater amount OF aid in a
large number OK counties than y per cent.
viii yield in 1899. The increase in valuation
OF property in counties in tne gas belt, Lake
county and others, is all the way from 300
to GO per cent, and even more, and, coupled
with the fact that building material Is
cheap, wages low and money very abund-
ant, seeking investment at a lower rate of
interest than ever before leads to belief
that Mr.. Burriers bin is a measure that
will meet the approval Of farmers and prop
of Indiana have in the last thirty years built
thousands of miles of pixies and drains with
out any subsidies or aids whatsoever, and
because of these improvements, taxes have
been very high and burdens me- The act
which Mr. Burrier's bill seeks to amend
may at any time, anywhere IN Indiana add
per cent. 10 the taxes OF any township or
county IN the State, and that act should be
repealed for the reasons herein set out
There is nothing in Mr.. Burriers bill, pro-
hibiting any person or community from do
mating to any railway enterprise any
amount of aid they may see mt to give or
subscribe; it simply provides for the rate of
tax that may legally be voted. 1t Is hoped,
for the benefit of farmers and taxpayers
of Indiana, that Mr. Burrier's bill will pass
State. The pressing needs of the times are
lower tax rates along all lines.

simply their servants So that when the
charge is made that the administration has
the purpose to rob any human being of his
liberty and make him serf or slave 1t Is
a shameless and criminal dispersion on the
high character of Americans.
There are times when ''the consent of the
governed must, for the general good, be
held in allegiance. When, as now, we have
oVerthrown monarchy and broken to
pieces its oppressive machinery: when order
must be brought out of such chaotic condt-
lions; when the mad waves of anarchy have
Eade hopeless all protection to person or
property; when, as has often occurred, the
'pestilence that walketh in darkness and
waSteth at monday is doing its fatal work
then, and at such times, necessity calls for
immediate action and an effective power
without parleying about consents" and ii
must be applied with a strong hand and an
honest heart. But this autocratic force
must exist no longer than the reason that
demanded 1t. The American people will not
permit it's longer continuance. To my mind
there is no danger that familiarity with mil
itary government for the nonce, in these
new possessions, will give it permanent IA
Xor or acceptance with the citizens of our
Republic. 1t Will not be forgotten that the
prophets of evil said, when we had great
armies in the field during the civil war, that
saddle" would rule in the future that the
simplicity of the Republic would disappear,
and military imperialism would be the
dominating force. These pesSimistic proph-
cts failed to recognize the important fact
that every victory of our gallant soldiers
only intensified in the heart of the soldier
as well as the citizen a deeper love for lib
erty and for equal justice to all men, with
out distinction of race or color. They should
also call to mind that in ten days after the
call of the President for volunteers 10000
Americans offered themselves as soldiers to
drive the oppressor from Cuba. That of it
self is the most complete and effectual an
swer to their charge that Americans will en-
gage in any sort of oppression.
Let us have faith in our people, in our
civilization, in our love of liberty and JUS
tice, in our history in all the past. Let us
not believe that we will serve Mammon
rather than God. Let us agree with Richard
Reaf:
THE Lord Gods purpose throbs along
Our stormy turbulences:
He keeps the sap of nations strong
With hidden recompenses.
The Lord God sows His righteous grain
In battle-blasted burrows,
And draws from present days of pain
Large peace for calm to-morrows
WILL CUMBACK.
