STATE GAME WARDEN FINLEY
MAKES ACCUSATION AGAINST
MANY OF STATES REC
ORD KEEPERS.
BUSINESS METHODS PREVAIL
Failure on the Part of Some to Turn
in Proper Amount of Game License
Fees Calls Forth Ire of Oregon
Official - Summary of Permits
Issued.

That thousands of dollars are an
nually withheld by county clerks,
notaries and justices of the peace
throughout the state that rightfully
belong to the game protection fund,
was the statement made recently
by State Game Warden Finlay to an
Oregonian reporter. Although he is
unwilling to say that a system of
grating is going on through the
state in the matter of collecting and
reporting fees for the issuance of
hunters and anglers licenses, he
does not believe that the system now
in use in making payments of Ii
cense money to the State Treasurer
is effectual.
"He believes that the lack of sys-
tenn, coupled with neglect and mis-
management, may have more to do
with the loss than lack of moral
scruples on the part Of officials"
Not Applicable Here.
However much the warden may be
correct and however many of the
counties of Oregon may fall under
his criticism, it is certain that his
remarks cannot apply to the manner
in which this matter is conducted in
Polk county. No more careful, exact
and faithful clerk in the state ex-
lists than County Clerk E. NJ. Smith,
and his records from one end of the
office to the other are models of
correctness and system. In handling
game licenses, he promptly adopted
an up-to-the-minute method Of con-
secutive numbering, and duplicate
copies of every permit issued are on
file in this office, open to the inspec-
ton of all who care to examine
them. His quarterly reports are
complete and have been sent in reg
ularly. A summary of the three
quarters of this year is given here
with with amounts received:

The combination licenses permit
both hunting and fishing, and there
fore are charged for at 81 each, in
stead of 81 as for the other licenses.
While there is a noticeable falling
off in the receipts of licenses this
year. much Of it is doubtless attrib-
utable to the fact that China pheas-
ant hunting has been prohibited and
most of the hunters, especially those
from Portland. in the past have been
in search Of the gamy Mongolians.

ed in the state. State Superintend-
ent of Public Instruction l.. X.
Alderman, President j. H. AckeIman,
head of the Oregon State Normal

EFFICIENCY OF
AMERICAN CARPENTER.
Congressman RedfieId of New York,
Makes Emphatic Statements Reia-
tive to American Tradesmen.

Washington = Representative William
C. Redfield of New York, in the course
of a speech on the wool schedule re-
counted his experience with French car
penters while in the city of Paris. His
statement follows
"Once when my Office was located in
the city of Paris, | employed lot of
French carpenters, and paid them 10
francs a day, $1.90 each, and at the end
of three or four days I was well nigh
crazy. Down the long aisle of the build
ing, | saw a familiar looking tool box
with saw sticking from the end, and
ran to the place and found a man who
looked like an American carpenter.
said, Are you Yankee? and he said
Yes l said I want to employ you
now He said, Boss, l charge $3.50 a
day | said, Come right along. Two
days later l discharged four Frenchmen,
and my one American carpenter did more
than the four Frenchmen, and 1 saved
money by the process, and if somebody
wants to ask me the question, there are
| sound, urgent, serious reasons why the
American carpenter did as much work
as four Frenchmen, and l shall be very
glad, if you wish to detain me, to go
into the details of the reason why that
man is so much more efficient. In en-
ploying a French carpenter he goes to
work, having eaten almost nothing. For
breakfast he has nothing more than
bit-a little bit of bread (without butter)
and coffee At II o'clock he stops to ga;
a little bread and drink a little sour
wine. That is all-all l ever saw any o
them eat. AT 3 o'clock he stops again
to eat little bread and drink little
sour wine. After he gets through at
night he has what he calls dinner.
Such a man can never work at any labor
requiring steady physical exertion, con-
tinuously under pressure, in competi-
ton with a man who eats three square
meals day

UNIONS IN SWITZERLAND.

Washington.-It is said that labor con,
ditions in Switzerland are somewhat bet
ter than anywhere on the European con-
tinent, and the organized workmen rela-
lively greater. The trade union move
ment, however, is not thoroughly united,
political and religious questions preclud-
ing a complete unification. Beneficial
associations and other organizations
based on religion are common in Switzer-
land. OF a total 113,S00 organized work
men in 1910, only 67,34S were affiliated
