thoroughly in favor of Keir Hardie's
suggestion that all railways should be
nationalized. 1t would be an excellent
thing for the people if that were
done. Look at the economy that
would be effected if all Of the rail
roads were under state control. Fares
would be lowered and the comfort OF
the passengers better looked after"

THE GOPHER BOUNTY
The Amounts Paid out During SIN
Years of It's Operation.

The plan of paying a bounty for the
destruction of gophers IN brown
county has been, in operation for SIX
consecutive years. Each year the
hoard of county commissioners nave
fyed the limit beyond which time the
hnnntv should not be paid. In vs.,
the first year, the bounty was palo up
to July 18th. So much money was

over eight thousand dollars that con
siderable objection sprung mp against
the bounty idea. ;.
The following two years the limit
was placed. at May 10Th, q the
amount paid for the two years was less
than half the amount paid out in '9s.
The next year, 'Ol, the season was
attended to Mar goth. when the sum
Maid out was greatly increased. The
next YEA the limit was again placed
at Nav 10th. This year the season
closed May first, the earliest yet, n
tho weather having bean SO cold 1t
was expected that the demands on
the county treasury for DESTROYING
the little pests would be exceedingly
light, but it happens that the mount
paid out is a Thousand dol'ars
more than was paid out in 1900.
The main reason why o money
has been paid out during the iasC
three years is that thesbounty on the
striped gophers was only q cent the
first three years while during the
la,tthree it was made the same as had
been paid for the flicker tail. 1t is ais'
likely that some increase is due o.the
fact that the boys and girls OF the
county have become better equipped
with traps and nor expert in trap
ping.
Through the kindness of Deputy
Auditor Lum the Democrat is able tt
