THE HUNTING SEASON

Opening of the hunting season in Alabama this week calls attention to the fact that for the first time game and wild life in this state are given a real chance by the law. Heretofore, because of the length of the season and the size of days bag, there was ruthless destruction of game through out the state. Conservationists real ized that something had to be done to prevent the extinction of quail, turkey, duck and other game. Not only does the new law carry provisions for pro- tection, but there IS practical co-opera- ton to see that the laws are enforced and observed.
 In addition to regulations requiring state and county licenses and the con- sent of land owners for hunting on their properties, the most valuable provisions of the law are the restric- ton of the open season, which for quail is from November 20 to Febru. ary 20, and reduction in the days bag limit from 25 to 15. These re. strictions will be rigidly enforced, as far as possible, by game wardens with the aid of 'conservationists, including the large number of hunting and fish. ing club members. Other changes ir the law restrict the open season fo, deer from November 1 to December 31. No more than one buck in a da, may be killed. Five is the maximum limit for the season, while doe ant lawn are protected at all times. The turkey season runs from December ] to March 31. Ten gobblers are the maximum limit for the season. Hen: cannot legally be killed at all.
 Revocation of licenses and fines arc the penalties for violation of the law There is thus promise of improvement, in the protection of wild life. In { few years it is expected that result. will be manifest in measurable in crease in Alabama's game and wilt | life.

THE SCHOOL INVESTMENT

Decatur has completed a fine new high school building in which that community has just cause for pride The structure is credit to the citi. Zens, and tribute to their civic pride representing their faith not only in the community, but in the value oi educational facilities as a factor for expansion and development. Tusce- loosa is preparing to break ground for a modern and commodious new high school building to cost $250,000 Both of these improvements became necessary because of the growth ot the cities and their increased needs fol school facilities. Meantime, number of new school buildings and enlarge. ments and improvements of old ones are reported from many towns and rural districts in the state, the costs of which are provided either through bond issues or from the special three mill levy which is in operation in nearly all the counties of the state.
 One of the most gratifying indica- tions of progress in Alabama is the increased interest Tn it's educational system and the notable demand for more and better schools in the rural districts, as well as in the cities and towns. Since the recent legislature is- nored its obligation to the schools by failing to provide for needful increase; of revenue, the people of Alabama, and especially those of the rural districts appear to realize more than ever theii own additional responsibility to pro vide the kind of school training tc which the boys and girls of this statt are entitled and for which they arc pleading more strongly than ever.
 In many districts there are notable manifestations of increased interest
The Birmingham age-herald., 1923-11-24

Seals are captured for their skins, but the recent feminine desire for furs of other sorts has caused a calm in the sealskin market, with the result that this government now has some ten thousand prime skins on hand with few buyers. Accordingly, MT. Hoover has ordered the coming years take to be reduced to one-haR the amount hitherto authorized, so that the market will not continue to be flooded. Be- cause of the low price of pelts and the slow demand, poachers will not risk the dangers attendant upon illegal catches, and so the cause of conserva- tion of the seal receives double boost. Perhaps some day feminine favor will swing back to sealskins, but in the meantime the tribes will increase as a result of the reduced slaughter.
 It is said that the government and private fox farms will suffer, however, because the seal carcasses have been fed to the domesticated foxes, diet that has resulted in thicker and finer belts than on the usual provender. That is condition that will have to be remedied in some other manner. It is well-known fact that, as far cs regards woman's purchase of seal skin coat,
 "When she will, she will,
 You may depend on it;
 And when she won't, she won't,
 And there's an end on it.,

nprIMIsrIC OVER BIRMINGHAM

Expressions of optimism about Blr- minpbam, its achievements and It's future by James M. Kurn, president of the St. Louis and San Francisco Railway, were based upon industrial and commercial conditions and the im- mediate business outlook as perceived on the visit here. As rule railroad executives are keenly observant Of conditions as they affect transporta- tion and promise increasing business. In this connection President Kurn called attention to the fact that his road is expending about one million dollars for shop Improvements here, and had recently reorganized and en- larged its staff to take care of a heavier volume of traffic. Executives of other railroads entering this dis trict take similar optimistic view of the situation and outlook.
 That the Frisco railroad has become a firm believer in the Birmingham district as a great producing center and source of railroad tonnage is demonstrated by it's larger appropria- tions for terminal improvements and other betterments. In some respects, . and especially as. affects their own interests, the railroads realize that Birmingham is going ahead as are few other cities in the country as a pro- ductive center of industry, and that its rapid growth calls for continuous activity by the railroads to keep abreast of the advancement.
 In this connection there is one way in which the railroads can further ] contribute materially not only to the growth and enrichment of the city and district, but to their own material interests. That is by abolishing the grade crossings in this city which are doing much to obstruct the commu- | nity progress in which the railroads so generously share. Removal of the grade crossings in Birmingham would be wise and profitable action by the railroads in their own behalf.

GIVING THE SEAL A CHANGE

The problem of conserving the SUD- ply of seals in our Alaskan waters appears to be solving itself. Because the seal is somewhat migratory in it's habits, it spends some of it's time i,, Japanese, some in Russian, some in British and some in American waters. During the period when pelts are prime they are mainly in American waters. For that reason the four gov ernments few years ago joined in a treaty whereby the American govern ment was to supervise the taking of seals and to make an equitable division of the proceeds of the catch to the governments concerned One task has been to prevent poaching and whole sale slaughter of seals without regard to age, sex or other considerations.

ALIBERAL WATERWAY POLICY

It appears that congressman are taking a more liberal view of the de- velopment of waterways than they have hitherto shown. This may partly be because they have learned some thing about the public value of water ways, and partly because their long suffering constituents, having found that waterways are necessary to a rounding out of our transportation service, have informed their congress men in no uncertain manner of their attitude The Mississippi and Warrior developments were the experiments which were. to determine whether the government would abandon inland waterway development, or whether it would expand its operations.
 Representative Newton of Missouri is preparing a bill which will call for an appropriation of ninety million dol lars to expand the Mississippi system. He specifically stipulates that this de- velopment shall be without prejudice to other waterway projects, which should receive their proportionate at tention. The plan contemplates six foot channel from St. Paul to St. Louis and nine-foot channel from St. Louis southward. It provides for nine-foot development of the Illinois river to Chicago, of the Missouri to Kansas City and of the Ohio to Pittsburg. This project is received with favor in the territories to be directly bene- fitted.
 At the same time Colonel Ashburn, head of the waterway systems, ex- presses himself in favor also of in- creased appropriation for the Warrior and other streams in Alabama. It appears good opportunity for the congressman of Alabama and neigh boring states to put forward their claims for more liberal endowment of the watercourses of Alabama, claims that can hardly be opposed by those supporting similar projects elsewhere. The situation is developing to the pub lie advantage, and means that even- tually the railroad opposition to water ways must give way to cooperative policies.
 It is particularly stated by support CTS of the waterway plans that they desire the undertakings to be not an- tagonistic but supplementary to rail- road service. It is believed by many who have given careful study to the enter prise that railroads, waterways and highways must be co-ordinated, not only to sSrve the public in the highest degree, but also to give to each me- dium its fullest opportunity. Our views on all these questions are broadening. It now remains to put them to practical test and application.

COTTON EXCHANGE soUAwKs

The New York cotton exchange de- clares that the South has been "mulcted" of millions of dollars by "fly-by-night" brokers and announces a campaign to get rid of such gentry. The public will reserve. its opinion in regard to this matter until it discovers whether the exchange itself is guilt less of any charge of mulcting people out of money through manipulation of prices and the like. It is all very well to seek to disarm criticism by picking on a weakling and blaming him for a thing that cannot itself be denied. It is said that these small brokers have taken advantage of exchange quota tions to perpetrate frauds at the ex- pense of the unwary.
 The remedy proposed by the ex- change is to prevent their quotations from leaking out in such way that the non-members can use them. To a man up tree, the necessity of keep ing these quotations 'inside" and quiet hath a very peculiar look. If the quo- tations are aboveboard and legitimate, what possible harm can publicity do them, or in what way can anybody make dishonest use of them? If the situation needs rectifying, the public would feel that a better job may be expected from the services of some disinterested agency.
