RESTOCKING GAME PRESERVES
Scores Of Yellow Neds, Pike, and Bass
Placed in the Lakes and Streams

The outlook for fishing in the lakes
and streams of the State this season
are particularly bright, according to C.
B. Townsend, chief game warden for
the Board of Games and Fish Com
missioners. Activities of the commits
sion in restocking the ponds and lakes
and providing additional quail and
pheasants in the woods and forests, it
is believed, will make the hunting and
fishing season a good one. Thousands
of yellow neds, pike and bass and
other fish have ben placed in the
ponds and lakes. Fifty pairs of quail
have been distributed in each Of the
three counties of the State, and in
Sussex county thirty pairs of pleas
ants have been freed. Because Of the
danger of bringing tularemia into the
State, no jack rabbits from Missouri
or Kansas have been imported this
spring. The State Board of Health
cautioned the commission against i'm
porting rabbits. Delaware is one of
the half dozen States which up to this
time has not had a case of this dis
ease, which is somewhat similar to
typhoid fever. The disease is con
tracted by handling The entrails of the
rabbit. According to Warden Town
send, there will be no scarcity of rab-
bits this fall. They appear to be
plentiful as ever, but in order to keep

ly against the amendment this week,
and other interests in St. Paul, Min
neapolis and Duluth are sure to do
what they can to defeat it. The cit
les do not want road building aid ex-
tended beyond the trunk highway sy-
stem. In fact, they themselves have
envious eyes on that annual fund of
$17,000,000 which the highway de-
partment possesses, for they want the
highway department to help pay for
the streets over which the routes en-
ter the cities.
But the country districts which
must depend so much on the second

judging from the interest being taken
in the amendment. Committees have
been formed in more than 300 towns
to work for the amendment, and L.
800 committeeman now are enlisted

During his long years as citizen

ing mayor of the city. He was also
an able member of the board of edu-
cation for nine years and served sew

$4,000 MORE FOR
ROADS IN COUNTY
Minimum That Would Be Re-
ceived from Gasoline Tax If
Amendment No. Passes

Redwood county will receive SUBJ
stantial sum from the proceeds of the
gasoline tax to aid in the develop
ment of the secondary roads if
Amendment No. 1 passes, members
of the local committee urging its
passage pointed out this week.
The amendment would take third
Of the proceeds from the tax out of
the trunk highway fund and place it
in the state road and bridge fund,
from which it would be distributed
out to the 81 counties for use on To-
cal or secondary roads that are not
included in the trunk highway sy-
stem.
What this means to the individual
counties was suggested by reference
to the gasoline tax figures for 1927.
One third of the gasoline tax for
1927 amounted in round numbers to
$1,800,0O0. Had the proposed am
endment been in effect that year,
each county would have received un-
der the laws governing distribution
of the road and bridge fund not less
Cudu Y4C,OOO 1IOAl IIlC SooOAAAS Se~~>
for it's secondary roads and might
have received as much as $4,000.
If the amendment passes, the am
cunt available for distribution to the
counties for local roads will be ap-
proximately twice that which the
state now apportions out to the coun-
ties from the state road and bridge
fund. The one mill tax now brings
in about $2,OOO,OOO, which is distri-
buted out to the counties, each receiv-
ing not less than l percent nor more
than 3 percent of the fund.
And the counties will receive the
added fund for local roads under
Amendment No. 1 without any in
crease in taxes, L. P. Johnson, chair
man of the gasoline tax amendment
committee, suggested. The amend
ment makes no change in the amount
of the present gasoline tax, he said
1t merely would take third of tax
from the trunk highway fund and put
it into the state road and bridge
fund, where it could be used on the
secondary roads.
Doubling of the fund received from
the state for the secondary roads
would enable the counties to improve
hundreds of miles of roads which
cannot now be improved, with the
heavy burden of local taxation. The
money would be paid out to the
counties and would be spent under
supervision of the county engineers
and county commissioners in coop
Grafton with engineers of the state
highway department, who inspect ant
approve state aid projects.
! With twice as much money avail
able in state aid, the counties grad
ually would take over more ant
more of the township roads and I'M
prove them, or they could spend
portion of their local road tax In aid
ing the townships where this seem
desirable.
Country districts throughout tn
state are rallying to the support o
the amendment, but there is OPPOSE
ton in the three large cities. In

LABOR AND CONGRESS

Labor's feeling toward the United
States Congress has been ably and ac-
curately presented in an editorial pub
lished by the Scripps-Howard news
papers, in which there appear the fol-
lowing sentences:
"The largest popular vote ever cast
has just disproved the myth that
Americans are no longer interested in
politics. The farmers look to Con-
gress for relief. The miners and tex
tile workers walking the streets with
out work want to know what Congress
is going to do about it. Prosperous
industries are anxious that Congress
do nothing to jeopardize their pros
perity. The people are watching
Washington as matter of bread and
butter.
The people have faith in Congress.
They cannot afford the luxury of Gym
icism. They are untouched by the
sophist who sneers at its muddling
methods. They know that Congress,
with all its faults, has better record
than the executive and judicial
branches of our government. In these
latter years, when corruption has
staggered in the cabinet and wher
the Supreme Court increasingly has
exalted property rights above human
rights, Congress has been closer tt
the people and their liberties"
There are interests-those knowr
as special interests-which hate Con
gress because they hate every posi-
bility of democratic expression of pub
lie will. If the special interests coult
have their way they would abolisl
Congress. Labor would keep it.

LABOR'S LIFE INSURANCE
COMPANY

The old adage that nothing succeeds
like success seems to be borne out
once more by the Union Labor Life
Insurance Company. Not only has
the company broken all records in the
writing of insurance, which is, of
course, the paramount business of an
insurance company, but it has been
showered with friendly and favorable
commendation of scores of leading
men outside the trade union move
ment.
One of the first to offer praise to
the company was Haley Fiske, veter-
an president of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company Much more re-
Gently came Charles Evans Hughes,
former Secretary of State. Since then
dozens of letters of commentator
have been received at the headquar-
ters of the company in Washington.

INJUNCTION METHOD SPREADS

In refusing a divorce, Common
Pleas Judge Harrison w. Ewing, of
Cleveland, stipulated that the appli-
cants accept birth control for three
years.
Courts set aside free speech, press
and assemblage guarantees, and they
even order workers to handle non-un-
ion products against their will.
Regulation of the size of families
by equity rule is the logical develop
ment of government by conscience
that equity judges have assumed.
When the American people under
stand the principle of government by
injunction, and its destruction of gov
ernment by law, they will re-estab-
lish the system of our fathers.
The people will eventually under.
stand that assumed power of thess
judges is eating into the vitals of oul
political institutions.

everyone on Christmas Day." is the

everyone on Christmas Day, is the
cry and intent of the committee.
But to accomplish their purpose and
reach the goal sought the committee
needs help-help of all kinds in the
way of contributions of money, cloth
ing. shoes, toys, foodstuffs of all kinds
and personal service. Right now the
committee could use a couple dozen
healthy, husky fellows for packing,
unpacking and moving the vast
amount of stores it is going to take
to reach in every home where other
wise would be nothing but bleakness
and sadness on that great, glad day
Christmas. A few more ladies will
also find the welcome sign out.
Eight years ago the Chamber of
Commerce through some of its of
ficials, Secretary John E. Northway,
to be specific, inauguruated this noble
movement for alleviating sorrow and
misery and bringing cheer into every
home in Hamilton. Each year the
people of Hamilton look more kindly
on the movement and would regret
very much if for any reason it should
be discontinued.
Let US make this years work the
greatest ever and then see how much
more we enjoy the day for having
done so. Let US be liberal and gen
erous in making our contributions
and above all, LET US DO 1T AT
ONCE.

THAT BROOKWOOD CASE

The American Federation of Labor
is frankly partisan. We believe trade
unionism alone will aid the workers.
We are not organized to dabble in
theories or in other plans.
We hold the trade urkonism will
function in proportion to the workers
unitv and their collective capacity
That there is no limit to the possibil-
tiles of organized labor.
Our main purpose is to impress this
thought on wage workers. We under
stand Communism and other "isms,
with their rulership from above sa
distinguished from the trade union
i d al Of individual development
through collective effort and without
state aid
Our movement supports workers
education that has the trade union
the Underground. lndivi-
dual members of our unions may
study anything they choose, but the
trade unions, as such, refuse to IL
nance these ventures.
This position is as old as the A. +
of L. and the executive council fol
lowed this course when it advised
trade unions to no longer aid Brook
wood College.
The cry Injunction Against Brook
wood" is not sustained by record
of the A. F. of L. convention at New
Orleans.
No resolution against the council
action was presented. Instead, tn
record shows that the Councils actor
was unanimously" approved.
