SALESPEOPLE PLAN
HOME AND BENEFIT
Milton Leinson Heads Move to
Establish Fund for Care
of Needy.

That salespeople of Washington
who are stricken with illness or have
served their usefulness behind coun-
ters and have been compelled to re-
tire may have sick benefits and
eventually a home in which to spend
their old age. Milton Leinson, sales
man for Saks & Co, and a special
committee are concentrating their ef-
forts On the establishment of a
Salespeoples' Home and Emergency
Fund. The scheme is Mr.. Leinson's
and it is meeting with a hearty re-
sponse from the clerks of the city.
1t is Mr.. LeinsoI's plan to form an
association whose members would be
limited to clerks in retail, wholesale.
and manufacturing establishments
and others who could qualify under
the heading of salespeople. A yearly
membership fee of 81 would be cnarg
ed, and with this sum, sick benefits
would be paid out and the balance
would accumulate to apply on the
erection of a home for aged clerks.
Eventually the benefits of the or
ganization might be extended to in
clude the family of the salespeople
members
While no definite amount of sick benc-
fit has yet been decided by the promot-
ers of the plan. Mr.. Leinson is of the
epiuion that an investigation commit
tee could pass on the amount that
should be pad in each case.
Associated with Mr.. Leinson in the
Plan are Sol Breslauer, John T. Tyler
and Harry L. Barnard. They hope 10

which are buried number of her

result in that governments enlarg-

ing Roy P. Guard Of San Juan coun-
ty. were present. the following
amendments to the state game laws
were proposed:
To change the present laws so
tn at the Office of game warden shall
be elective and not appointive, as at
present. and to place each official
under $4,000 bond with full au-
thority in all matters.
To premit the hunter to kill two
deer of any sex.
To curtail the hunting season on
upland birds from three months to
six weeks.
To prohibit TIE use Of sneak
boats, irrespective Of whether they
are power or hand-driven. in the
hunting of waterfowl. and to abol-
lsh the use of sink boats.
To change the laws so that ang-

lers will pay a license in like man
ner as hunters must now do.
10 increase the bounty for the
Staying of cougars from $40 to $50
each, to encourage the extermina-
tion of these animals.
From the above it would seem
that some one with some common
sense is at last waking up to the
fact that the game laws are not
what they should be. The present
deer law has always seemed to us
particularly foolish and inadequate.
and the following from the Belling-
ham Journal. commenting on the
subject, is self-explanatory:
1.-The deer season will remain un-
changed, but it is proposed to alter
the laws in such a manner es to
allow each hunter to kill two ami
mails of any sex. At present the
hunter is allowed to kill two ami
mails, but both must be bucks. This
is said to have led to the destruction
of many does. mistaken for bucks.
and left after being killed to rot in
the woods. On Orcas island alone,
for instance. it is said that no less
than forty-seven does were slain in
this manner last season, each hunter
then keeping on with the slaughter
until he had bagged two bucks. In
the long run it is believed that the
permission to kill two of the ami
mails, regardless of sex, will rebound
to the benefit Of the herds at large
in all parts Of the state
This is the best news in this line
that We have heard for some time
and taken together with the pro-
posed shortening of the season for
upland birds, ought to mean much
to the thinking sportsmen OF this
county. All we need now to make
hunting conditions ideal in San
Juan county is law to prohibit the
taking of deer from the county.
the same as the present upland bird
law. We can get it if we go after
it. and now that the question OF
game law amendments has come
up it would be q good chance for Us
to propose this amendment also.
