"Due to Democrats"

New York, Aug. 15.-The second
chapter of the Democratic text hook,
which will soon be ready for the print
ers, deals with wage problems and says
that the report of the department of
labor, just completed, shows that dur
ing the Wilson administration wage
earners received more than $4,000, ,00O,-
900 more than in the preceding four
years under a Republican administra-
ton.
The text book says the average union
wages in 1914 and 1915 were 10 per
cent higher than the average for the
six years 1907 to 1912 inclusive, under
the Dingley and Payne tariff laws and
Republican administration. The CEN
isus of 1910, backed on 1909 data, says
the book, "gave the number of wage
earners employed in manufacturing in
dustries only as 6,615,000, and the
wages paid s3,427 100000" 1t is esti-
mated on preliminary returns of the
1914 census of manufacturers, that in
1915 American manufacturers gave
employment to 100000 wage earners
at wages amounting to $4,407, 900, 900,
or an increase of near S1,000,O00,000
over 1910.
1t is conservatively estimated that
in 1916 American manufacturers are
employing 10 per cent more wage
earners at 10 per cent higher average
wages than in 1915. This would bring
the 1916 volume of wages paid up to
$1,000, 100000, or upward Of $780,
100000 more than the Republican GEN.
sus record of 191.
1t is estimated that the total Of
wages paid in the four years under
the Wilson administration was $17,-
GG,000,000, compared to Sl4,320, ,000,-
900 in the four years Of the Taft ad-
ministration.

Two considerations have animated

1.-THE firm conviction that ali ma

THE Mexican problem In its pres

because they were forced to do so, and

FEDERAL GAME AGENT WILL PROSECUTE
ALL WHO HUNT DUCKS BEFORE OCTOBER

The following article taken from the
Reno Gazette is reproduced for the
information of local nImrods, as there
seems to be considerable doubt as to
the date OF the opening of the duck
season:
To the Editor of the Reno Gazette:
i wish you would, through the Ga.
zette. correct any false impression rs
TO the opening of the duck season. The
season opens under the federal law on
October ] and closes on January Is.
The state law opens the season on
September 10. but the state law Is
superseded by the federal law and any
one hunting ducks before October 1
lays himself liable to prosecution.
Many contend that the law is of no
effect because 1t has been held to be
unconstitutional in Kansas and in Ar
kansas (the opposite been held in
South Dakota, howeyer). These de-
cisions do not nullify the law except
In the state OF which they were ren.
dered. In all other states the federal
law obtains and stand effective until
the federal supreme court renders Il
decision that the law is unconstitution.
al, If 1t shall so decide
We hope that the sportsmen of this
state will not need drastic enforce.
ment of the law but obey because II
is good law, conceived and enforced
in the interest even of those who op.
pose Il.
II is fact that, under the federal
law, although It has been in force only
two years, the ducks have increased in
numbers all over the United States,
and there Is better shooting now than
for several years.
