SUPERVISORS FIND
MULCT TAX LEVIED
Of Board Held Yesterday in
Fort Madison When the Cues
tion Was Brought
Up.
ENTIRE 40 ARE ASSESSED
Township School Fund Is Given a
Neat Sum by the Amount of
the Fines II Re-
celves.

The board Of supervisors In session
at Fit. Madison yesterday found that
the assessor had charged the parties
holding government licenses here
with the regular quarterly mulct tax
of $3.50. which sum will now hold as a
lien against the property unless the
tax is otherwise paid.
At the instance OF the w. G. T. U.
representatives the assessor entered
the names Of not only those that were
fined but of the entire number Of for
ty holders OF government licenses. 1t
is hardly possible that the payment Of
the entire $3.50 will be made In each
case and that a compromise will be at
fected. The drug stores, OF course, are
not violating the law necessarily al
though they hold a government H.
cense. The board has named October
20 for arbitration day.
A side issue In the prosecution of
the illegal dealers is the fact that the
fines collected go to the school fund
OF the township where collected and
ten percent thereof to the prosecuting
attorney as commission for his work
The bills before the supervisors show
that the Keokuk fund was increased
S1,234.00 by the fines.

Protection Of BIrde.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-Migratory
birds have come into their own, for
Uncle Sam has put into effect a set
of uniform federal laws protecting
the many species Of the feathered
tribe which threaten to become ex-
tinct through the ravages of the MIN
rods.
Congress passed law last March
authorizing the department of agricul-
ture to adopt regulations and FIX a
closed season for certain species OF
birds needing federal protection.
These regulations were duly drafted.
Effective this month the regulations
are briefly, as followed:
Trap shooting prohibited; shooting
between sunset and sunrise punish
able by heavy fines; suspension of
hunting indefinitely on the Ohio, Mis-
sissippi and Missouri rivers, allowing
waterfowl a safe highway from their
winter feeding grounds In the lower
Mississippi valley to their nesting
grounds in the Dakotas and Mime
sofa; limiting hunting seasons to a
maximum of three and one.half
months in the several states; seasons
being according to latitude and times
of migration; providing separate sea-
sons for waterfowl, rail. shorebirds
and woodcock. complete protection
for five years for the smaller shore
birds and other species which have
become greatly reduced in numbers.
The new law also protects the rob-
in, the lark and other birds in the
few states where they suffer from an
open season.
