hunters and to prCsogate and re-
plenish birds, animals and fish. II was
suggested that there be a closed season
Of two years in order to enable the
quantity OF squirrels TO reach normal.
Other laws discussed by the COM
mission follow: A law prohibiting the
sale Of all game birds. animals and
fish within the State limits; the chang
ing Of the open seasons on migratory
birds to conform entirely with The
Federal regulations. and a law giving
the Game and Fish Commission power
TO declare a closed season on any game
bird, animal or fish in order to pre-
vent determination. The protection Of
The fox, which Is permitted to be kill
ed only when IL attacks fowl. also was

ones against which the shafts of
criticism have been principally
aimed are the tax commission and
the tax commission and the pardon
ing board But as Gov.-elect Rus
sell defended both of these boards
during the recent campaign. it is
reasonable to suppose that he would
veto any measure for their repeal
that might possibly pass the legisla-
ture. We were present at many po-
litical picnics when the Legislative
candidates presented their claims
In one county especially. where the
tax commission had raised the land
assessment from $13 to $40 an acre.
we We're amused at the earnestness
with which all the Legislative can
didates declared themselves in favor
of repeating the law creating the
tax commission. We asked one of
the candidates in that county, who
owned fine farm. how much it was
worth, and he said it was easily
worth $3.50 an acre. And yet he
raised mighty howl because his
land was raised from $13 to $40 an
acre. We believe that the tax COM
mission has done good work, and
that the law ought to be amended
but not repealed. Herald.
