MlrablIl plctu

The following from San Bernardino
paper may serve as a warning to the
careless hunter who leaves behind his
hunting license when on the waIpa h.
True, but one in a thousand is ever
asked whether or not he ever heard
of such a thing as a hunting license.
but you may be the unlucky one. Take
your license with you IL you have to
paste II on the inside of your coat,
especially If you are going into the
Banning country, for there is one dep
uty in that section to whom the game
laws are not entirely dead latter.
Our contemporary says:
"W. A. (Billy) Randle of the whole
sale firm of Beam & Randle Is having
a strenuous time out in the Willie boy
country-Banning Randle has been
pinched for hunting without a license,
and all the arguments he could put
forth as we'll as the eloquence OF his
friends could not keep the grim officer
of the law of that neighborhood from
landing Randle temporarily In the
small box-like calaboose. Later the
authorities were persuaded TO release
him on bail, but he was haunted by the
eternal vigilance Of the peace officer,
who dogged his steps about town.
'Randle got thoroughly mad when
he could not make the officers appre-
ciate the logic the situation called
forth, and he demanded a jury trial.
which Is in progress in the Banning
Justice court today
with his brother-in-law, Jacob
Adolf, and several other gentlemen
of Los Angeles, Randle went from
this city to the Banning country In an
automobile on hunting trip. He left
so hurriedly that he forgot his hunt
ing license, and when asked to pro-
duce the permit issued by the state
he discovered that 1t was in his other
clothes. He appealed to the officer to
telephone to County Clerk Post of this
CITY for confirmation of the statement
that he had purchased a hunting IL
cense, but the officer was not in the
telephoning business.
"A telephone message to Randle
partner, Lee Beam, resulted In the
license being forwarded by mail, and
it is no doubt a valuable exhibit in
the case on trial today"

HOLIDAYS IN Topeka.
Commercial Club Committee Recon-

The holiday committee of the Com

piled list of holidays which they rec

peka. There are nine of these holidays
in all which are we'll distributed
throughout the year. The object of
the recommendation of certain days
for general observance is two fold. In
the first place the merchants will know
whether or not the 'other fellow is
likely to observe these holidays, and
then secondly the people residing in
the outside districts will know precise
ly what to count upon and will not
come to the city expecting to do trad
ing and find all the stores closed, or
III case the shops are to remain open
they will be aware of that fact.
There may be other gala days OBJ
served but the list represents the mini
mum which in the opinion of the COM
mittee 1t Is wise to observe. The board
of directors of the Merchants Associ-
alton heartily endorsed the commit
tees recommendation and it is likely
that action will be taken in the course
of a day or two on the part of the

committee believed that it would be

Who Owns the Air?

The suggestion that the Aero Club
of America invite some distinguiSh
aviator to become a party to a friendly
suit which would determine what legal
penalties may attend aerial navigation
is an excellent one. In an address to
a lawyer said, that as under the Rom
an law the owner of land had owner
ship of the air above it, and as the
English common law is based on the
Roman code, any man who flies over
another's property is technically a
trespasser. If an aeronaut could be
identified and caught, therefore, he
would be liable for any damage he
might inflict by accident or careless
ness while in flight.
Though penalties for such injury
have not yet been inflicted, there is no
telling how soon the occasion for their
imposition will arise. Hence, 1t is de-
sirable to have the principle of liabil-
ity defined Dy competent authority. A
decision by one of the higher courts,
If suitably advertised, would serve
many good purposes. Perhaps the
most important advantage of a fresh
enunciation of the law. would be to
render aviators more cautious than
they otherwise would be. As yet there
are no signs that those who use and
intend to use airships for military pur-
poses need 20 exercise Increased care,
but the men who purpose to fly merely
for sport are in an entirely different
category. So great are the dangers of
simply for pleasurable excitement may
properly be considered a reckless char
acter. The sooner he is made to un-
derstand his obligations to the public
and to the government the better

WANTS STATE CON .ROL
MondelI Opposes Federal Interference
With Power Sites.

Washington, Dec. 2o.-Scouting the
idea that there is a water power trust
and defending Secretary Ballinger
aaginst some of the adverse criticism
of his administration of land laws Rep
resentative Mondell of Wyoming, spoke
today in favor of state. as opposed to
federal control of the development OF
the water power, particularly on the
nonnavigable streams.
He declared the federal government
has no constitutional authority to ex-
ercise control over the waters OF nom
ravigable streams for any purpose The
attempt to establish such federal con-
troll, he said, was an effort to take
control from the people who now ex-
ercised it through the states, and lodge
it with the federal bureaus.
Calling attention to the fact that Col
orado, wyoming, Montana, Idaho. Utah.
Oregon. Washington. California, Ne
vada and Arizona and New Mexico con-
tanned. half the available water power
of the United States, he said the
phantom of a water power monopoly IN
that region which certain persons had
attempted to conjure up. was indescrib-
ably grotesque and ridiculous.
Mr.. Mondell spoke of the influence OF
certain powerful" bureaus of the fed
eral government in building up and
fostering "superficiaP' public sentiment.
He referred to what he termed the
.loose talk" about giving away power
of incalculable value. ''squandering the
water power of the public domain"
etc.

dress. Chairman Mann of the commit
tee on interstate and foreign COM

in which Mr. Mann exhibited consider
able impatience and finally exclaimed:
Anybody on earth excepting the gen.
tleman from wyoming can see the
meaning of my bill. The trouble is thai
he is SO wrought up over this subject
that the action of any member from
