HUNTING IN NEW YORK STATE.
Game Worth $3,239,277 Taken by 2OS,-
a4R Hunters in 1918.


Figures on the amount of game killed
in this state during 1918, totals which
the law required should be tabulated on
the back of applications for 1919 hunt
ing licenses, are Just available, accord
ing TO Warwick S. Carpenter secretary
OF the New York State Conservation
commission.
"In spite of the incompleteness of the
returns" he reports, 1T is significant
that the total amount of game taken
BY 20S, 946 licensed hunters was l,526, $50,
which was an average of more than
seven animals or birds for each hunter.
When it is considered that many of the
licensees did not hunt at ALL or were un-
successful, or failed to report, the ae-
tual average of the successful hunter is
seen to be very much higher. At the
valuations given in the table, which are
game or fur legally salable, and upon
conservative estimates for all other
species, this game was worth a total OF
IS, 239, 277. This value, however, was
simply the annual dividend, and not the
value of the states capital stock of wild
life. If we consider that it was a dlyl-
dend on the basis of per cent, then
the actual capital value of the states
stock of game and fur bearing animals,
on the basis of the 1918 reports of game
killed, which are themselves low, is S53,-
987. $50
/ 1T will be admitted without dispute
that the price of preserving the states
great natural resources of wild life is
game projections For game protection
in 1918 the Conservation commission
disbursed approximately 100000. Fully
one-half of this expense, however, was
for the protection of nsh, which leaves
approximately $4,000 chargeable
against other wild life resources. In adj
dition, it expended anDroximately S32,-
900 for the maintenance Of the state
game farms, making a total expenditure
for protection and propagation of ami
mails and birds of approximately Sls2,-
COO. One of the most important of the
conclusions based upon this investiga-
tiOn in economic biOlo~- can thus be
stated as follows:
The game and fur bearing animals
of New York state. if capitalized. are
turn an annual dividend of more than
$72C0,0C0 and they cost the state for
/ their protection and increase the nomi-
nal sum of 1882, 600. This cost of pro-
lection and increase ia thus less than
ner cent of the annual dividend.
Tables have been prepared for every
species. showing the number of birds
and animals reported on the license
stubs from every county. the counties
being arranged TO show the ones max

thus give a general idea of the relative

The Interstate Commerce Commits
sion's System No, 1 is based on the
present New York Central system and
differs in two important respects from
gested by William q. Ripley, profess
sor of economies at Harvard Unver-
sity. Professor Ripley left the New
York Central system as it was. with
out hanging on to it any weak lines
or without attempting to extend its
scope. The Interstate Commerce Com
missions New York Central system,
in the tentative plan for consolida-
tion of the American railroads re-
Gently made public, hangs on to the
New York Central, the Boston & Maine
and the Western Maryland.
As thus constituted, System No.
has siX-track main line from New
York to Buffalo, without serious grades,
out of Albany going west. From Buff
falo it has four-tracl1 main line
along Lake Erie, and across the base
Of the Michigan peninsula to Lake
Michigan and Chicago. Attached to
this main stem is the Pittsburgh &
Lake Erie. running south from Ashta-
bula to Pittsburgh, and there connect
ing with the Western Maryland, not
now a part of the New York Central
system, which parallels the Baltimore
& Ohio to Baltimore. AS constituted
now the New York Central has two
Atlantic ports, New York and Boston.
This proposed arrangemen would give
it third one, Baltimore.
Some years ago the Western Mary
land was extended north from Cumber-
land, Md, to Pittsburgh, with the
avowed intention of making traffic ar
rangements with the New York Cen
tral, which would accomplish the same
purpose as apparently contemplated BY
the commissions arrangement. The
mere fact Of the physical connection
did not divert any traffic from the
New York Central system to Baltimore.
There is now, however, a considerable
Interchange of traffic. and to com bine
the roads would probably result in
benefit to both.
Two Networks of Lines
West Of Buffalo the system would
have two networks of lines. as it
has now, one covering the Michiga
peninsula and the other extending fan
wise over Ohio and Indiana, with q
main line extending down to st. Louis.
This merely perpetuates the competi-
tive and other advantages which the
Vanderbilts recognized and took ad
vantage of in purchasing control OF the
Michigan Central and OF the Cleveland,
Cincinnati. Chicago e. st. Louis. 1t is
a logical, practical combination Of lines
that has proved itself advantageous.
The New York Central itself had
recognized the advantages of an en-

ducer or manufacturer. The country
is to be congratulated upon the extent
to which labor has realized the neces-
sty of reimbursement Of wages and an
increase in its efficiency. Until in
dustry is revived, labor must suffer
from unemployment, and so long as
there is failure of readjustment. la
Dor continues TO suffer. The number
of unemployed in the country is Il ques
ton Of grave concern and we heartily
indorse the action Of the present ad-
ministration III calling a conference
to devise plans for lessening unemploy-
ment. We approve Of. 4 continuation
of the conference and earnestly hope
that valuable constructive recommen-
dations will be made from which there
will result, under proper governmental
supervision, lessening in the sever
