Some hunters seem to think that
when they have obtained hunters
license they are privileged to go
where they please in pursuit Of game.
In some instances when forbidden to
trespass by property owners they
have contended that they have a
right under their licenses to follow
game wherever it goes. This, of
course, is mistake. Illinois has a

roads, because their influence on the
value of land depends more largely
upon the distance from the stations.
The trolley lines, however, have sta.

The little taste which OskaIoosa
has had of the two interurbans, one
to Beacon and one to University
Park. has been sufficient to convince
all of the Advantages of these avenues
of industry to the city. The line
now proposed between Oskaloosa and
Tama should be encouraged by every
means possible, as il will not only
help every town on the line, but in
crease the value of all farm land for
five miles on either side of the road.

steady values were secured.
Cows and heifers of all kinds drag;

in Pittsburg. Now it is the school
system that is under the ban. Charg.
es are made that majority of the 1922

competent, that much of the school
funds has been wasted or stolen and
that the cost of education is almost
half as much as the actual operating
expenses of the city itself.
The exposure is made by the Vot-
ers' League, the organization that
two years ago looked up more than
a hundred Of Pittsburg's councilmen,
The league supports its charges by
confessions of grating directors and
agents and contractors engaged in
wholesale bribery.
1t aims by this exposure to strike
down the entire school system in
Pittsburg and then force the legis-
lature to rip out of Office every school
director in the city. Failing in this,
criminal prosecutions are to begin.
