LOOKING OVER THE VARMINTS

The work of the Bureau of Biological Survey of the
United States Department of Agriculture presents
curious combination of conservation and destruction.
Its Importance to the country whole and to the
agricultural regions in particular should be wide
y known.
On the destructive side the survey conducts
tinuous warfare against predatory animals and rod
ents. Wolves prairie dogs, gophers, jack rabbits,
house rats and mice, and wOodchucks have been sue
cessfuly combatted in many localities where formerly
they did great damage The Biological Surveys meth
cd is to investigate first and to find out exactly
where wild creature stands in its relation to man.
If it does more harm than good, killing stock des
troying crops, then the department fights it. If it is
benefit to stock raiser farmer then is protected
1t is also part of the bureaus activity to discover
and furnish the basic information needed in connection
with economic work. and for the proper administration
of such laws the migratory bird treaty act and regu
lations affecting big game and bird refugees and land
fur animals in Alaska.
Under the ministratons of this organization

with extinction increasing, herds of

being eliminated.

WHAT TAXES PAY FOR

According to tables, Detroit shows the high
est per capita of government of 261 cities
San Antonio, Texas, shows the lowest Yet no out
slider could safely say offhand that Detroit more
extravagant than San Antonio.
High cost of government does not necessarily
mean wastefu and inefficient government; citizens
may be obtaining full of service for their tax
money Low cost of government does not necessarily
mean economy; essential matters may be neglected in
order to save cash. miser money at tragic
cost while wisely generous spender may at the same
time be economical.
An honestly planned and honestly administered
municipal budget should help to find the happy med
ium between false economy and civic waste. If every
state and municipality in the country went on sound
and we-thought-out budget system for the next few
years. the nation ought to find its tax burden lighter
and its return for taxes greater than ever before.

IRELAND AT PEACE

There has been little from Ireland lately.
That in itself is good 1t not apathy but
construction 1t means that the long fight for self
determination and the ensuing fight for unity both
ended, and Ireland is busy building up its gov
ernment and its economic system.
Old enmities vanishing, also desire to punish.
Nearly 1000 political prisoners freed by the Dub
lin government in December. The rest are being held
only in sef-protection until it is judged safe to let
them go.
Ireland not only won her war but seems to be win
ming her peace better than various countries which
used to question her ability govern herself Recon-
struction there is reality thorn in England's flesh
while held by force as South Africa was, Ireland may
of her own free will accomplish more than South
Africa for the British Empire and for the world.

STATE AID FOR CONVLCTS

Pennsylvania proposed plan to aid ex-convicts or
convicts parole, by finding for them suitable jobs
everywhere. The plan involves not simply finding
work for the former prisoners, but also telling employ
ers the whole truth and enlisng their active sympathy
and aid The state departments which to handle
this work will also attempt to protect the reclaimed
men and women from persecution by blackmailers and
from the temptations which former criminal pals
might put in their way.
Such work as this has been done in the past by
private organizations Whether state, through GER
tain departments do ii better remains to be seen.
