NOT MUCH SYMPATHY

THE same old story Of easy come. easy
1 GO, Is evident in the claim they are
broke, filed IN the court a Les Angeles
by the famous Duncan sisters. TOR several
years highly paid entertainers en- the
stage and screen.
As modern deIineators OF The "Topsy
and Eva" of "Uncle Toms Cabin the
Duncans had the good fortune to rise
from obscurity 10 international fame in
an extremely brief period of time. Money
rolled into them and there was constant
fight on for their services Only short
time ago they could command their own
price for their services.
Now they relate a tale Of goddess. gold
mines worthless stock and OF names care
lessly signed to obligations. It is almost
safe to assume that more money was
squandered by this last means than by
any poor investments the famous sisters
made.
Those suddenly risen to places of
wealth are notorious fer their ego. which
takes the form of being good fellows,
even though the gender may be OF the OPP
posite variety. They sign anything and
everything that comes to them in the
form Of a bill, believing they would be
considered 'pikers' if they hesitated even
the fraction Of a moment necessary to
learn if the claim is Just one
While one regrets misfortune happen
ing to any person. it IS not likely there
will be a great deal OF sympathy for the
Duncans. They had SO many examples
before them that there IS no excuse for
them Being broke" The world was good
to Them and the trouble is they are not
good to themselves.

Hoover Will Issue Proclamation
Requesting Relief for
Rural Needy

Washington, Jan. 12.-tP-Presi-
dent Hoover will issue a proclamation
shortly calling upon the people Of the
country to Contribute $1O.C" 1000
through the Red Cross to relief OF
the needy in rural sections.
The chief executive, as head OF the
Red Cross, Sunday approved the pro-
posal of Chairman Payne that an
appeal for public assistance be made.
There was some expectation Monday
this action would ease the tense sit
uation in congress. where for a week
members have clamored for and
against a SIS. 0O0. 900 appropriation for
food loans to drought sufferers.
A new move to dispose of this con-
troversy was planned at the outset
of Mondays session of the house
through offer of a special rule to
consider sending to conference the
drought loan appropriation bill. This
carries $45, 600, 900 for spring crop
planting; the senate attached the
SIS, 600, 900 for food. and four times
the Republican leaders have failed to
get unanimous consent for calling a
conference to take out this item.
Mondays procedure would put it
through with only two-thirds ma
jority.

GAME LAW PLAN IS
EXPLAINED TO LIONS
Jones Tells Of Need for Modern
Enactment; Describes Wal
ton League Proposal

EXPLANATION of the proposed new
state game and fish code was made
to the Bismarck Lions club at their
luncheon meeting Monday by B. E.
Jones of the Bismarck 1zaak Walton
League chapter.
Jones said the present game and
fish code is the result of patchwork
methods over a 3O-year period, is full
of contradictions and in such shape
that few persons can really under
stand it. The Walton League, he said,
roposes to repeal the old law and
substitute a new M embodying the
best thought of conservationists in
this and other states.
The license fee would be increased
SO cents on the theory that persons
who provide themselves with hunting
equipment will not mind a small ad-
ditional fee to insure themselves
something to hunt.
Overhead costs Of the state game
and fish department use all but
about $4,000 of the annual collec-
lions, Jones said, and the increased
license fee would provide about $685.
600 additional to be used in game
propagation work.
One feature of the law is that open
seasons on all game is provided. The
theory is that such seasons, in actual
practice, will be controlled by CUB
ernatorial proclamation, such orders
to be issued on advice by the state
game and fish department.
A 6O-day closed season on rabbits
during the midsummer is provided
for the purpose of bringing rabbits
within the scope Of the law.
The proposed enactment would
permit legal shipment Of game to per-
sons outside the state; would permit
the use of dogs in the field; promote
and encourage game farms and fur
farms and permit field trials of dogs
to be held in this state, Jones said.
He commented that eastern dog
owners now spend between $35, 900
and $500 O in Saskatchewan each
year which might be spent in North
Dakota if field tails were PERMITTED
here.
A comfy" clause in the proposed
statute would permit game wardens
from other states to pursue law vio-
1ators into this state provided North
Dakota game wardens had a similar
privilege. This would take care of
complications which now arise along
state borders, Jones said.
No provisions for trapping beaver
are contained in the bill since this
will be made the subject of separate
legislation, the speaker announced.
Under the terms of the proposed
beaver bill the owner Of land would
have a 15-day advantage over out
siders in trapping on his property, the
idea being to recompense him for
damage done by beavers to trees on
his land.
