WITH DOG AND GUN
BY ARMISTEAD W. GILLIAN

Thousands OF these guides ana care
takers in each State, he says, would be
forced to take curtailed stipends for
their services if the President sticks to
his proclamation made early this month
limiting the duck-hunting season to one
month.
FRANK L. STICK. president of the
i Atlantic Coast Sportsmen's ASSo-
citation, in Washington this week,
told the writer he Is OF the opinion the
one-month duck-hunting season pro-
claimed by President Hoover on recon-
mendation of the Bureau OF Biological
Survey is discriminatory in that it
makes the East pay for the depletion
of water fowl in the West.
Stick contends huntsmen will find
the ducks in the shooting areas of the
East in their accustomed numbers this
year, the Eastern breeding grounds of
Canada and the United States not hav-
ing been hit nearly so hard by the
drought, which has dried up a large
portion of the duck breeding grounds
in Northwestern Canada and the
United States.
Stick said he planned to go to Con-
gress if necessary to correct this situa-
ton and also to push before Congress
some measure looking to the restora-
ton of the breeding grounds hit by the
drought.

rectly to President Hoover to provide

the first change in the lineup of
the Pale Dry team as it was turned over
to him by Ben McAlwee. Hopfenmaier,
on the eve of the all-important inter-

Tim Dunworth. The Pale Drys lost be-

Northerners, but despite the huge team

have made little difference, did not
lessen the heap of criticism on the Pale

More was forthcoming this season

g. Annapolis Electric Railroad from
taxation for the next two years.
The matter was argued before Gov
Richie in Annapolis Wednesday, Off
Gals of Annapolis and Anne Arundel
County and citizens opposing the
measure, while George Weems Williams
receiver for the company, and other
officials asked for its approval.
Mr.. Williams stated positively that
the company will soon cease operation
If the exemption was not granted, and
said that it was asked not for the
benefit Of the holders of the cOmpany's
securities, but for the public. which
needed the transportation facilities.
In reply to a question of the Gov
ernor, Mr.. Williams said that he was
not sure that the company could con-
tinue operation even if the exemption
was granted, but that its chances would
be improved.
City and county officials pointed out
the increased burden of taxation that
the exemption of the company would
place on the general taxpayers. They
placed this at about $4,000 per year.
