ILLEGAL SLAUGHTER OF GAME.

Certain residents Of THE shores OF
Clear Lake are killing the bird that
lays the golden egg. and other resi-
dents by failure to take an active part
i'm law enforcement, are encouraging
the violators. Reports from Clear
Lake tell story of open and extens-
i've violations Of the fish and game
laws, which have been permitted to
game warden from PARKWAY Sioux
City got busy.
Clear Lake is one of the few sum-
mer resorts in Iowa, and has been
growing in popularity. Its citizens
have the opportunity to make 1t the
playground and resting place of thous-
ands of Iowans. Its attractiveness as
a pleasure resort is the greatest asset
the lake town possesses. The business
men and property owners without
doubt appreciate this fact, because they
have labored successfully in securing
game IlSn from pHe government AtlSil-
cries and thru the state game warden
in order to keep the pretty lake
stocked. Failure to secure even
limited enforcement Of the laws and
protection from seiners and others who
resort to illegal methods to procure
fish from the markets is unfair to a
public which supports the state game
department and to the government
which labors to prevent game fish from
becoming extinct in such favored spots
as Clear Lake. Conditions resulting
from slaughter OF game Of all kinds
are causing Iowans to seek recreation
and to spend their money in neighbour
ing states where the laws are more
vigorously obeyed. 1t is up to the
business men Of Clear Lake to Sc
cure the appointment OF local wardens
who will enforce the laws.

ExTPAvAGANCE,

Something of commotion Is made
4 In the primary campaign over alleged
4 extravaganza on the part Of the state
/ administration. At first there was an
sslleged deficit in the treasury in the
place of a S1O0O,0O0 surplus, but as
the money kept piling up until the
state treasurer's cash balance passed
the million mark again, for the third
time in the, entire history Of the state,
the charge was changed to read:
.Cummins came in with million on
hand and will go out with half a
million in the hole" This puts the
final determination of the facts off UNI
til after the primary election and fixes
the story so that it is impossible to
run it down before election.
The facts are that there has been
much greater liberality on the part Of
legislatures during the past seven
+ wears in the matter of building APP
propriations for the various state
& snstitutions. At the Ames college.
.state normal school, state university,
Iowa Soldiers Home and Cherokee
hospital the magnificent buildings
which make these institutions what
they are have nearly all been built
during this time. The permanent build
ings at the state fair, the new histor-
zeal building and the half million spent
on relnodeling the state capitol build
ing have all made their appearance
during the period of the Cummins'
regime.
These things have been done during
4 a period of prosperous times. when
communities have been building new
churches, high schools and court
& houses. If the appropriations have
ssbeen too liberal the critic who COM
Mains should have nerve enough to
name the specific extravaganza he
has In mind.
Does George Perkins object to the
$3.50 900 for monuments to Iowa regi
ments on southern battiefelds?
's Does Cyrenus Cole complain about
sas0.O0O for the historical building?
+ Does LATE Young oppose the $4,000
spent on state fair buildings?
Which one of the educational bills
would they cut, state university, agri-
cultural college or normal school?
Perhaps their main complaint is d.
rected at caponized fowl on the tables
of the Iowa Soldiers Home, at cents
per meal. or the magnificent hospital
erected there? II there has been ex-
travagance let's locate 1t specifically

WHITE RAPs THE COMMISSION.

The Hon. George White member of
! tho legislature from Story county, and
author Of the joint rate law, has an
interview In the newspapers which
calls our state railroad commission TO
task for very important omission IN
the performance Of their functions as
4 public service commission When
White came to the legislature he dis
covered that the state of Iowa has
possessed very fair joint rate law
tor eighteen years, but that no joint
rates had been established because the
railroad commission had never ordered
them established White then got busy
and cnanged the law to a mandatory
statute ordering the commission to do
tts duty within given number OF
/ days.
Mt. White has now grown Impatient
n at the seeming neglect of the commits
Z sion to obey the new statutes 2120 a,
$50 ID and 212O c, which instruct the
: counmassion to appeal to the Interstate
ncmmerce commission in behalf OF the
etake ef Iowa whenever 1t comes to the
knowledEe Of the board that Interstate
rates discriminate prejudicial to the
qnferests Of this state. He recites the
lansuaxe Of the law making 1t 1.-THE
duty Of the board" to exercise con-
ststent diligence in Informing them
selves as to rates. on interstate bust
ness. yet the commission has done
nothing.
The trouble with the state railroad
commission is that state affairs have
always been side line with the menu
sbers. With the possible exception OF
Ketchum no member spends any con-
siderable part OF lis time in Des
MONIES and when Dave Palmer is
there his time is consumed organizing
the d. A. r. for some political CAM
padgn, or the peculiarly social duties
sof his office. What the state OF Iowa
needs Is new grasp OF duty on the
=
part Of its railroad commission. The
l commissioners now say that they
would be glad to prosecute any case
/ before the Interstate commerce COM
mission which anyone can bring to
them, but this is like the county at
torney who winks at vice so long as no
individual files an information and
works UP a case for him. Public NOR
--als demand an attorney who will use
diligence in informing himself, and the
manufacturing interests of the state
demand railroad commission which
win devote It's whole time to diligence
in Informing itself as to rates; inter-
state as we'll as state. Mr.. White is
right about it.

A COMMON ERROR.

Some parents do not want their
children to have as hard a time as they
(the parents) had. The chances are,
however, that having a hard time, So
called, when they are youthful, is what
made them active. forceful men and
women. The great majority of the men
and women who are the brains, the
culture, the best citizenship, of any
community, did not have a particu-
larly easy time of 1t when they were
"kids." The boy or girl who has to
work out his own material salvation
is a proper object of congratulation.

AWARDED COUNTY PRINTING CONTRACT

At an adjourned regular meeting
of the board of county commits
sioners on Wednesday the contract
tor furnishing the printed station
cry and blanks for the county Of
fees for the ensuing year was
awarded to the Tribune Publishing
Co., of Hibbing, A. IS. Pfremmer
manager. The contract amounts
to the neat sum of $4,164, the bid of
the range press being some 500
less than the figure submitted by
the next lowest competitive bidder,
the Miller-Davis Printing Co. of
Minneapolis, and some $l,4O0 less
than the bids of some of the Duluth
printeries.
While the contract as awarded is
in the name of Mr.. Pfremmer the
bid was joint bid of four Mesaba
range Offices and the work will be
divided as nearly equal as possible
among them. These Offices are the
Tribune at Hibbing, the News at

Enterprise of this city. Each OF
these Offices is we'll equipped for
caring for the work, each having
cylinder and platen presses, power,
and up-to.date equipment in every
respect.
This is not the fret time the range
press has bid upon this class of
work for the county, but it is the
fret time the entire contract ever
came our way. In past years the
boys of the ranges have had small
proportion of the county work
doled out to them by the successful

was 30 small and 80 unsatisfactory

mind to show the boys at the south
