BALD EAGLES FACE
DEATH BY BOUNTY
Symbol of American Freedom
Within Few Years of
determination.

American eagles are being killed
in Alaska for SO cents a head. says
the American Nature Association In
a call to the American people to pro-
test against the slaughter of the
American eagle. The association
tells Americans this situation is due
to the action of the legislature of
, Alaska, which passed the law offer
ing 80 cents for each one killed.
I'm a zoo or on your money will
be the only place to see an eagle If
the slaughter of this bird is kept up
says the American Nature Associa-
tion's call. mo longer do the tour
lists to Alaska see these emblems of
American liberty float above the
forests and shore lines.
Between 1917 to 1923 $4,000 eagle
feet, cut from $4,000 birds. have been
checked and accounted for on the
bounty records" says the statement
In Nature Magazine. Some were
wounded and not caught. Many have
fallen into inaccessible places where
they could not be reached. A large
number have been shot for sport by
people who have not collected the
bounties.
About 25,OOO Killed.
''It seems safe to say that instead
of $4,000, approximately $4,000 Ameri-
can eagles have been killed since the
campaign began-enough eagles to
carpet a trail over thtrty-three miles
long If the wings were spread and
the tips touching.
Fish in Alaska at certain seasons
of the year are abundant. and the bald
eagle undoubtedly lives largely on
salmon, but 1T is a well known fact
that salmon dies after spawning. The
banks of streams are at times lined
with the bodies of spawned-out fish,
which are carried away and eaten by
these birds.
I'VE have two species of eagles
the American, or bald, eagle, found
in the wilder places throughout the
United States. and the golden eagle,
now restricted almost entirely to the
mountainous regions of the west.
The term bald" originated from the
white head, which is an unmistakable
mark of identity of the full-grown
bird 1t also has a white tail. Up
to the time it is about three years
old the bald eagle is general dark
brown color, much the same as the
golden eagle. In the time of Audu-
bon these young bald eagles were
considered separate species.
The golden eagle is a large, pow
erful bird, dark brown in color, with
feathers of the head and neck lighter
brown or golden. To distinguish one
species from the other, look at the
lowest joint of the leg If this is
covered with brown feathers down
to the toes. it is a golden eagle; if
the lower part of the leg is naked, the
bird is a bald eagle.
Symbol of Courage.
"The eagle is our symbol of cour-
age, our emblem of freedom. The
eagle was borne on Roman standards
France under the Bonapartes, Austria
Prussia and Russia have used the
eagle as a national bird. On June 20
1882. the venerable white-headed bird
of Washington, beloved by Americans
was adopted as the emblem of our
country. Are the American people to
be represented by a defunct species 4?
Did our forefathers make a mistake ?''

Millionaire Barber Dies
Shaving and Haircutting
Until the Very End
Tohn Rau Made Fortune in Real Es-

Of his million, the barber kept on
shaving 10 the end
\Rau collapsed Just before reaching
the shop where he would have earned
another S., his days wage and tips.
Rau did not make his million dol
lars shaving-but that was the way
he got his start-and he kept on shay
ing. His savings from singes and hair
cuts and once-ovcr sCrapings were IN
vested in Huntington real estate. His
investments were fortunate.
When he bought unimproved land
everybody seemed to want to buy 1t,
to build on it, and it became valuable.
He sold it and bought elsewhere
and the boom would follow. He be-
came one of the wealthiest men IN
Huntington.

Under Present Conditions the Old

Georgia, agriculturally, is in the
middle of a bad fix Georgia business
that is dependent on the generality OF
Georgia's agricultural operations is in
the middle OF a bad fix or worse
The tenant system as followed for
the past fifty years or more and com
posing thirds OF Georgia's agri-
cultural operations is dead as Hector
in so lar as any degree Of success is
concerned.
The condition OF the tenant. two
thirds OF Georgia's agricultural opera
tions being tenant operations, was
hopeless before the weevil came. 1t is
worse than hopeless now unless the
system is changed and reorganized.
The condition OF the land holder OF
tenant acreage still continuing to Oper-
ate under the old system is hopeless.
His farm land holdings are a liability
instead Of an asset just something to
pay taxes on.
The only genuine exceptions to the
above are those countries and sections
where there are specialized industries
such as peach growing, pecans tobac-
co, creamery and dairy, hogs, poultry
and so forth.
The sooner these facts are recog-
nized, fully acknowledged and acted
on the sooner real and permanent re-
lief will come to Georgia and all our
people,
We have purposely refrained from
any expression of these views until
after the adjournment of our legisla-
ture. There has for years been too
much political play on this general
situation. The tenant and small farm
or have long realized that something
was wrong but did not know what the
trouble was
Through the play OF political forces
thew have been generally and wrongly
led to believe that a remedy could be
had through political action and
sources. While recognizing that iegis-
lati0n can ameliOrate wrong Condl-
tons. no political action can solve a

For weeks and months we have
heard and read reports OF speeches
made by our political and business
leaders.
We have read carefully the various
communications in the Atlanta and
other Georgia papers as dealing with
this Georgia agricultural situation and
the relation Of business to same.
With all due respect to these lead
ers and writer's only one OF them has
shown glmmer OF intelligence in
dealing with this subject They either
do not know or have not the courage
to tell the truth about it. They all deal
with surface symptoms instead OF the
fundamental causes OF our economic
disease.
This is no time for continued silence
on this subject Evasion, camouf1age
or concealment is suicidal. The future
OF Georgia materially, educationally
and socially is dependent on both
recognition of facts and organized Ell
fort to straighten out the situation
along safe, sane and already demon
strated practical and workable lines.

been following a suicidal agricultural

The Courier does not always agree with the

an editorial Of recent date expressed the situation
relative to county printing in such a clear and
concise manner, that we heartily approve it. There
seems to be some one sent to the Montana legis-
lature every session who carries the idea that the
printers of the state are making fortunes at the
expense of the county by virtue of having a coun-
ty printing contract. However, it is an uncom-
mon event when a country print shop owner &C
cumulates surplus cash to afford a vacation trip
to California.

THE TAX COMMISSION.

Gov. .Joseph M. Dixon threw a bomb into the
ranks of his political opponents, and his support
= &C well. when he announced the personnel or
+ba newly created tax commission or board
If eoualization. The men selected by the governor
do not meet the expectation of those who were
anticinating the appointees to be widely known
fax experts. They are however, known politically.
Those who have predicted the governor desired
r. bu;ld q ~political machine in the state, the nucleus
of which would be the men composing the tax
commission. may think the appointments fulfill
their prophecy. In this they must admit, upon
due reflection. they are mistaken for the real
fact is apparent that the governor has really
moved in lust the opposite direction. The appoint
ment of the three men, Walker, Bergeson and
Violette. as the first members of the newly created
board of equalization was anything but a polltl-
cal appointment bringing more power to the gov
ernOr.
There has been a working force in the present
session of the legislature, both in the house and
senate, carrying out the program outlined by Gov
ernor Dixon; these members have not been rubber
stamps as is attempted by some to make them
appear; rather, they have been fulfilling the obli-
cation imposed upon them when they were elected.
They have been working with the purpose of
carrying out the governors program, and have
been successful. There has been a real political
power in the legislature, in harmony with the
views of the governor, which might be called his
machine.
The naming of the three men as the tax COM
mission, is in itself the best proof that Governor
Dixon is not playing politics or attempting to
build a political machine for his own exploitation
or to increase his political power. The fact that
the naming of these three men did not meet with
the whole hearted approval of the men who have
stood by Governor Dixon and have fought his
battles in the present session of the legislature
is a demonstration of his sincerity. He has, by
appointing these three men, performed the act
that may drive many staunch supporters from
him. 1t is an act that can destroy whatever politi-
. cal power Governor Dixon may have had, if looked
upon purely from a political standpoint.
Governor Dixon, in choosing the three men fol-
this important commission, has selected those
whom he believes will function honestly, and fairly
without fear or favor for any individual or inter
ests, not to create a political machine. That is thu
only al the real reason for his selection. These
men have not been tried as yet in the positions
to which they have been appointed; they SHOULD
be given an opportunity to function, and shoult
they fail to meet the requirement of the position
they can be removed. Certainly none can accus
Governor Dixon of scheming to build a politics
machine around the present board of equalization
His judgment may be questioned in the selection
from the standpoint of their ability to meet tn
requirements of tax experts, but it must be aC
mitted, ne did not curry favor with friends Q
foes in making his choice.

Splendid Faculty This Year
Headed by j. A. Mercer

The Oakley Rural high school be-

il will be successful yoar in all its
departments. The school building
has been changed in many respects,
and these changes will add greatly

tions have been made, the patrons
OF the school may well be proud of
their institution. Theer viii be new
toilets, new showers and dressing
rooms. The gymnasium has been
made more commodious. The walls
have been newly tinted and varnish
has been spread where a new tone
was needed. During the summer
the lawns have been trimmed; all in
all, it seems to be a much better
school,
The faculty promises to be one of
the best the school has had thus for

The success of the school depends
upon the full and complete coopera-
ton of the students who attend. This
cooperation means an early regis
tration and a continuous attendance
OF those starting. 1t also means
zeal for work manifest where each
pupil has an ambition or a goal to
reach.
The faculty cannot do all the
work. Nor is the school a mechani-
cal mill where boys and girls are ta-
ken and put through this machine
where a few turns of a wheel will
give a finished product. School sue
cess is attained when there is help
given to the boys and girls
AZ home, when little ro5oonsibiili-
ty for advancement is taken by the

High Has Bright
uture in Athletics

The student body fee of thre dol
lars in the high school is a means
adopted by which athletics are an
assured fact. 1t simply means pay
ing in advance for all the games Of
the season, with this benefit. all hol-
ders of student body card get
about six dollars worth of games for
three dollars If the fee is paid in
advance, 1t makes it possible for us
to know how much can be spent for
athletics during the year. Football,
basketball and tennis must pay their
way. No help is given by the
school board. II they are not self
sustaining this line of activity Will
have to be done away with. 1t is 20
be hoped that every one can pay
this fee. It isn't donation nor is
it tuition. 1t is paying in advance
for something you will get. 1t is
getting real bargain for your
money.
The football season begins at
once. e. w. Parks from the Univer
sity OF Idaho is here ready to start
work on our team for this year. The
grounds are being cleared. charg-
ing machine and dummy for prac-
tice are prepared, assuring the boys
of first class training for the sea-
sens games. The equipment is being
brought up to date in every particu-
lar. If all the prospective players
report at once, there is no reason
why Oakley cannot make a good
showing in football. Mr.. Parks un-
derstands the game and those par
ticipating will surely profit by re-
porting to him and getting the BEN
eft of his able help.

Another interesting thing is that
