HOW SPECIES ARE DESTROYED

WHEN people set about getting rid of entire
w species of animals by systematic persecution,
they usually find it difficult job. Set price on
the head of the wolf or the woodchuck, and the
creature to realize the Importance of its life
A bounty crows must be viewed as pleasant
Joke by those shrewd observers of men and things
The case of the wolf in Europe is historic one
A price has been set the creatures head tor CEN
turies and yet there is only small portion of the
continent from which the animal has been eXteT1n1-
mated. The Netherlands is free of wolves owing to
the character of the country. The whole land fur
nshes not single rocky den suitable for VOLTS lair
neither is there forest for the creatures shelter
1t is true that the wolf has been extermlnated
from Great Britain and Ireland. This result has
been reached however, by indirect rather
than by direct attack. The clearing off of the
forest left the wolf place in which to hide from
pursuit. The islands were too far from the con-
tnent for their thinned ranks to be recruited from
the main land.
In Spain and France the wolf has at no time been
unknown although price has been set on its head
for hundreds of years. The animal has developed
cunning in proportion the pursuit has become
closer. Like the crow it has learned to take care
of itself.
toward their continuance from the well meant efforts
of man to that end. In proof of this told that
there is an ancient act of Parliament still in force
in England and Wales, prohibiting the taking OF
eggs of certain birds, of which SIX kinds are ex-
pressly named In spite of this protecting law four
of the six species have ceased to breed IN those
countries.
The indirect ways in which such results brought
about are shown in the destruction of the quail IN
New Zealand. The birds were once numerous; no
wished to destroy them. But the land was
burned for other purposes at seasons when the
eggs and young of the quail exposed to destruc
ton, and few years brought the species to an end

Legislation for the creation of a
state revenue or tax commission will
be asked for by the tax assessors OF
the state. A bill to that end will be
drawn and presented to the next

This committee finished its labors

The conclusion is:
We recommend that the general
