The question of gun tax is being talk
ed and argued to a great extent in our
town lately. There seems to be several
sides to the question, and several classes
of people. One class opposed to the tax
are confined to those who spend most of
their time on hotel stoops when not too
cold, or in the stores whiting the boxes,
sgiping cabbage and prunes or in some
other way killing time. They pay little
tax for any purpose, none when they can
avoid it, vote when they are paid for it,
consider they have a right to hunt when
and where they please, in or out of sea
son and kill whatever comes their way.
They own no property and have no re-
spect for those who do. 1t seems that
all fair minded people should look at the
matter as a betterment to have our song
birds protected and spared from those
who so wantonly destroy them. Let
every hunter pay small tax to help pro-
tect our game and We will have more of
it and it will be easier to get In regards
to trapping bear with the present law,
game don't stay in trap until it dies.
A good trapper looks at his traps most
every day and bear are scarce that stay
in long enough to eat foot oft, while on
the other hand a gang Of hunters will
sight bear aud your the lead into him
as long as their ammunition holds out, but
do not take the time or trouble to aim at
some vital part,,o the bear just crawls in
To some thlchet away from his torment
tor, aud dies aud is los, t. everybody.
-Four hunters came up 10 the writer one
day last fall saying they had shot 81
shots a. BIZ bear aud had followed him
by the blood until night aud left him to
die, II Is not every one who is smart
enough 10 catch bear in trap but
most any one can shoot bear and let
him 20 away aud die, which is most
cruel The same sp0rt-mcu wi catch
fine trout, cram him into his fish basket
to hy there and die. Why don't he be
a man aud kill him a. soon as be catches
him.
