Propose to Have Portion Of License

SOME PLANS ARE OUTLINED

At the annual meeting OF the Fish and
Game club OF Council Bluffs Tuesday
night. plans that contemplate some
method OF forcing the state to return at
least part Of the nearly t4.OO annually
collected in the Bluffs and boarded up
ut Des MoInes or expended at Lake Oko-
oil. were discussed
Charlie Paschel created a lot OF en-
thuslasm when he pointed out the in
Justice of this, and he asserted there
would not be much difficulty In creating
a sentiment in the Iowa Legislature that
would bring about legal changes requir-
ing at least half Of this license money TO
be returned for use In permanent Inn
provement OF the lake. He asserted that
the state has a big dredge that lies idle
all the time II Is not being worked In
the Okoboii improvements. His informa-
ton was that there Is now being boarded
up at Des Moines about 10000 OF the
hunters license money. and he believed
that this could be used as n strong ar
gument to pry loose from the state
some OF the money that Is being taken
from Council Bluffs and use II for inn
provement of the lake. lie suggested the
bringing OF the state dredge here and
excavating the mud from the bottom OF
the lake. using Il to construct boule-
ward around the west and north sides
that would form a permanent dixie and

REDFIELD ADMITS
FIGURES ALL WRONG
Secretary Confesses Wholesale Inac-
curacies in Government Ex-
port Statistics.
BUT HE PASSES THE BUCK

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-Whole-
sale inaccuracies in government ex-
port statistics were admitted today
by Secretary Redfield of the Depart
ment Of Commerce, in a speech be-
fore the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States. He said, how
ever, that by an order issued Febru-
airy 1, he had remedied the situation
so far as was in his power, and that
errors of the past, caused by refusal
of shippers to give the government
facts and by antiquated laws, would
not be repeated.
The secretary referred to a charge
made month ago by officials of the
chamber that the percentage of error
in departmental reports was so great
1t was impossible even for experts to
estimate it; that single cargoes run
ming into thousands of dollars in
value left American ports without
being recorded, and that the pub
lished export figures for 1914 fell
far short of the actual exports. He
said this probably understated the
cases. There was but slight mac
curacy in the import statistics, he
added, as returns on imports were
more fully under government con-
troll.
