HOW TO SAVE THE
HOW TO SERVE THE
It Is Problem of Large Proportions
as Pointed Out by state
Game Commissioners.

The last general assembly turned a
deaf ear to the plea for law protect
ing prairie chickens in Iowa for a per-
iod of years. the principal reason
given against such action being that
the birds would not nest on account of
the sloughs being plowed over. This
theory is disproven by recent findings
of an Illinois gentleman, in whose
state the prairie hen had nearly be-
come extinct and was saved by clos
ed season covering several years.
Illinois is a much older settled state
than Iowa and has less cultivated
land in its prairie districts. State
Game Commissioner J. A. Wheeler
has furnished the American Field with
the following:

In a recent address at Hartford, on the subject of "City Government. Hon. Charles A. Goodwin, one of the candidates for the Republican Guber- material nomination, contrasted our town and city systems, somewhat to the disadvantage of the latter. It might be inferred that he approves the commission plan, were it not that he distinctly declared in favor of a uni- form charter. He said:
 It is my personal belief that our state could well frame a charter along the plan of a development of our pres ent town government, simply making the necessity of referendum less fre- quent and the authority a little wider. Such a charter should furnish the widest local self-government consistent with the rights of the rest of the state. I know it will be objected that a com mission has already attempted to draw a uniform charter and failed. No uniform charter can be drawn which will bring together the inconsistencies of the charters of this state. A uni form charter must cast aside the pre- cedents we have been following and 20 back to the headwaters. Remem- Der that the work of the state legisla- ture is legislative and should be pure ly so. But the work of a city govern ment is almost entirely administrative Such ordinances as must be passed are really more in the nature of rules than laws. and are a minor function of city government.
