Plan for Dry Agents
Editor, The Times:
There has been no satiSfac-
tory way devised for prevent
ing the operation of moon
shine" stills, up to the present.
Permit me the space in your
paper to suggest a plan.
Suppose the Government were
to offer a bounty of $50 for
information leading to the ar
rest Of ''moonshiners" and
'bootleggers."
The name of the informer
should be kept secret unless
revealed by himself. Instead
of wastefully destroying the
still and the alcohol let the
Federal officer sell the alcohol
to be used as denatured alcohol
and sell the still for junk,
giving one-half the proceeds to
charity and retaining half to
defray the expense Of the sale.
We pay a bounty in Wash
ington State, on cougars, wild
cats and wolves. They are fast
becoming extinct. But men
hunting predatory animals win
. pass by a moonShine still and
say never a word, partly
through fear and partly be-
cause there is no profit IN
giving information.

You say you can't under

how to take them-never know
what they'll be up to next.
Stop trying to understand
women-as women. Think Of
them as you'd think Of men.
Judge them by the standards
which you'd use with a man.
There's no longer any reason
why women shouldn't be judged
by man standards.
Time was when there was a
tremendous ch Sm between
man life and woman life.
Nature had started the sexes
out evenly enough -- making

WOmen's Chance
But that time has passed
much to the regret of many
ladies who found it extremely
convenient. Women are back
where they started - sharing
man life, getting whatever
breaks he gets-with rs good a
chance to make themselves

"The best friend q man has

HUNTING SYSTEM FACES
CRISIS DECLARES GORDON

''The American hunting system faces
a real crisis. In the past our sports
men have milled around like fren-
zied herd in box canyon trying to
escape impending disaster There has
been too much pickering and far too
little constructive thinking and coor-
dinated action"
Thus Seth Gordon, conservation di-
rector of the Izaak Walton League,
sums up the imperative need for the
formulation of an American Game
Policy, which is to be attempted at
the Seventeenth Annual American
Game Conference to be held at sNew
York City on December 1st and End,
1880, under the auspices OF the Ameri-
can Game Protective Association.
Mr.. Gordon is a member of the
America, but we cannot be bound
worked zealously for more than two
years to form tentative policy. It is
to be submitted to the conference for
discussion in an effort to build per-
manent policy, SO badly needed.
$50 far we have done very little
long term planning in game restora-
tion," Mr.. Gordon continued. 1--WE
have wasted our efforts on restrictive
legislation and have done nothing TO
maintain or improve the game habitat.
And in all our deliberations we
practically have ignored the biggest
factor of all-the land owner
Tradition means much to us in
America, but we cannot be bound
by traditional fallacies which have long
since been exploded. Neither can we
afford to throw tradition to the winds
in the hope of finding panacea for
our Ills.
Until we make it possible for the
states, the Sportsmen and the land
owners to go into true partnership in
game restoration we will get nowhere.
The only safe way is to adopt broad
national game policy as a yardsticR
by which to proceed, then try out a
number of kinds of sportsman-land-
owner relationships and let experience
demonstrate which methods offer the
best solution in each section of the
country" Mr. Gordon concluded
Mr. Gordon is internationally known
as an authority ON game and fish con-
servation and restoration. He has not
only been the conservation director of

WANT MORE MONEY
FOR FORESTRY FUND
STATE DEPARTMENT OF FOR
ESTRY AND FIRE PREVENTION
SEEKS INCREASED APPROPRI-
ATIONS FOR COMING TWO
YEARS.

Increases totaling $308,867 for the
biennium starting July are requested
by the state department Of forestry
and fire prevention to furnish 1t ap-
proximately $l,030,267 for expenditures
in that period in it's biennial budget.
Grover NJ Comet, state forester, eX-
planned that $3.50, ,267 of the total is re-
quested from the state, while the re-
manning 100000 will be received in
federal aid for fire fighting, equipment
and general maintenance. Il
In 1929 the department received
s521, 400 in appropriations for the
present biennium, in addition to fed
eral aid of S185,000 In addition to
this amount the state executive council
issued a certificate of Indebtedness for
$4,000 more for the use of the for
estry department to pay extra help
who aided in checking the numerous
fires the past season, making total
of approximately 1926, 400.
Because of the shortage of funds this
year which would seriously have Grip
pied fire fighting activities except for
the prompt action of the state execu-
tive council, Commissioner Comet said
it was necessary to request an increase
for the next biennium.
Although the department experienced
an unusually hazardous year because
of the number of fires caused by the
drought, Mr.. Comet pointed out that
it is possible that the next two years
may be equally as bad from the stand
point of fires, and that adequate funds
must be kept on hand to provide for
emergencies.
The budget requested by the depart
ment included $250000 for fire fighting
an increase of $150,0OO over the amount
appropriated in 1929 for the present
biennium, and $4,000 for erection OF
buildings and lookout towers.
The largest item in the requested
budget is that for maintenance OF the
department, with $685., 1886 asked COM
pared with $580,837 received for the
present two-year period by action OF
the 1929 legislature.
Other items include requests OF $lO,-
200 for erection of 300 miles of tele-
phone line between ranger cabins in
northern Minnesota; $9,400 for use in
continuing the fight against white pine
blister rust; $62,425 for equipment
such as motors, trucks, fire hose ano
pumps, and $14,400 for experimental
work of the forestry department
