Answers Questions Of Lee.
WORK FOR CANDIDATES IS ISSUE
No Activities Required, while Cues

President Taft.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-The question
OF whether federal office bolders viii be
permitted TO do political work for Presi-
dent Taft or Colonel Roosevelt in the
campaign for the republican nomination
has been brought before the Civil Servi-
ice commission.
Edward NJ. Lee OF indianapolis. former
chairman OF the republican state central
committee Of Indiana. who is now re-
ported to be active in Colonel Roosevelts
candidacy. called for ruling In tele-
gram which he addressed to Chairman
John N. Black.
Lee asks the commission to say II
some federal office holders will be al
lowed 10 aid In the campaign for Colonel
Roosevelt II others are permitted to work
for President Taft; he wants TO know
what punishment will be administered
to those who may violate the inhibition
against political activity and asks IL a
federal office holder viii be disturbed
In his office II he refuses to take part
In the contest.
While the republican national commit
tee was meeting In Washington last De-
cember. Lee issued a statement declaring
that President Taft could not carry In
diana. Later he was detected for re-elec.
ton as chairman Of the Indiana state
central committee.
Copies OF the correspondence between
Lee and Chairman Black were made pub
lie here tonight. Lees telegram was as
follows:

RABBITS COSTLY TO KANSAS
the Annual Bill Up TO One
Hundred thousand.

Kansas has spent more than $4,000 in
the last five months trying to remove
its chief pest, the Jack rabbit. Every
county in the western half OF the state
paid a bounty OF cents for each rabbit
killed and when the bounty season closed
the total amount paid out was tl0l.612
This means that more than 100000 jack
rabbits lost their lives because OF the in
roads the rabbits have made into orchards
and alfalfa fields.
II is probable that the total slaughter Of
rabbits during the winter exceeded 1000
900, as many thousands were killed in
rabbit drives and no bounty was asked
and hundreds Of farmers killed. rabbits
by the score and made no effort TO collect
the bounty.
Petitions signed by 10000 farmers were
presented TO the Legislature asking for
a general bounty on jack rabbits, so that
the killing Of the rabbits and eradication
Of the pest could be accomplished. A
bounty OF cents would pay for the gun
shells and leave little margin to pay
tho farmer and his boys for the time they
spent hunting the rabbits Each county
was required to pay the bounty. There
are few jack-rabblts in the eastern part
Of the state. and while the bounty was
offered, there were very few attempts
at collection.-Kansas City Journal.
