A WASTE OF THE spoR1smAns, MONEY

According to press reports it is like
iy that state game preserve will be
established in Hamilton county where
game shall be preserved, protected and
grown. The scheme is for 20, 900 acres,
wherein pheasants and other game
may be propagated.
1t is rather hard to see just what
may be expected of such game farm
the job of keeping it and excellent
shooting for those who are in close
proximity TO the borders of the pre-
serve"
This idea that the state of Iowa may
breed and preserve pheasants for gen.
sral sport all over the state, that cen
trail station may be established where
game may be Matched and distributed
here and there to the effect that the
citizen with dollar gun license may
have good sport afield is practically
ell poppycock. In the first place it
can't be did and in the second it isn't
worth anywhere near what it would
cost IL it could be. The idea that game
can be furnished the bearers of 100, 900
guns who pay dollar year for the
privilege Is absurd. Certain large land
owners abroad and a few in this coun-
try spend vast sums propagating game
for their own pleasure and thet of a
few select others. It is likely that the
sum raised by gun license would not
furnish pheasant apiece for each gun
that pays license. In these days when
q tame chicken costs dollar IL is not
plain how pheasants may be reared
for an army Of 100000 TO sport upon.
Iowa has ceased forever to be game
state. Some prairie chickens there were
in Iowa last year and some still re-
main; but the principal rea son any are
left lies in the fact that there is scarce
ly a good bird dog left In the state
Wherever the meat dog existed last fall
the chickens have disappeared. They
can neither hatch on the closely cult
waited fields Of Iowa nor exist against
the multitude of gunners each armed
with weapons of the deadliest modern
efficiency.
A great deal of money has been
spent in the past few years since the
gun license came into being; the re-
Dults of that expenditure are not ap-
parent. The plan of a game preserve
will, il put into operation, increase the
expense and it's effect on the game

Sioux City voters soon will be called
upon to choose a new set Of city Of
ficials The necessity Of electing the
best men available for the various Of
fees is generally recognized. Besides
being deceived by candidates in the
past, the people also have been mis- taxi
en- in their estimates of office seekers
Diligent precautions should be taken
now to prevent repetition of former
errors.
1t is generally conceded that the
churches, church men, civic organiza-
tons and business associations can
best perform their highest civic duty
by actively participating in local poll
tics. The men who compose these in
stitutons represent and espouse the
highest personal and public standards.
1t is to them then that the community
must look for leadership.
AS the compaign gets under way 1t
would be well for these various bodies
to make a careful study Of the issues
involved and the needs Of the city as
we'll. They should give the public the
benefit Of their views concerning the
requirements Of Sioux City in the
way of reforms. improvements and
municipal advancement. Thus the
people will be put in the position OF
informing their prospective servants IN
advance lust what will be expected in
the way OF service.
One great fault with municipal gov
ernments is that officials do not Rno"

the public what they think 1t wants.

TRANSFCRMATIO OF WRIGHT.
burlington Hawkeye1


Wright county has been practically
transformed within ten years. In 1903
when drainage operations began, the
greater part of the county was so wet
that there was no possibility of grow
ing crops in a damp season. In the
intervening ten years some 800 miles
Of drainage bitches have been dug. This
is supplemented by thing on the farms.
And Wright county farmers are now
sure of a crop every year. The expense
has been heavy, of course, but it - "a
nothing compared with the increase
in the land values. The best land was
quoted at $50 to SIS per acre before
drainage came into the county. Now
the figures are $3.50 to 5000. OF course
Wright county had her mossbacks,
who claimed that the advocates Of
drainage wanted to bankrupt the
county and conflscate the property Of
the poor farmers. They are saying
little on that score just at present. but
the fellow who is thus inclined never
lacks something to kick about and SO
they are probably still busy at their
favorite occupation.
