That's what is needed in the United
States. That's what must be done in
America if it IS going to meet the game
bird problem. Then take off the statute
books these thousands Of restrictive laws
which do no good and only confuse
matters
Object of Foundation
Specifically Mr.. Knapp, what are
your suggestions?"
Our foundation is organized to CO.
operate with every group or person who
believes the sale of wild game birds
should be prohibited by law, and that
that law should be rigidly enforced. We
believe in the sale cf game birds pro-
duced under State propagating licenses
only: that each bird should be tagged
with an indestructi6le metal tag sup
piled by the State, that dealers in dead
game birds should be licensed by the
State. and that game birds for con-
sumption in hotels. restaurants and
clubs or those consumed by individuals
should have tags affixed until each bird
Is finally served at the table"

By Scripps-Hotcard Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, April 18.-Dec-
laration by Representative Bertrand
H. Smell of New York, a Republican
candidate for Speaker, that tariff
legislation has gone the limit" has
created a favorable reaction among
congressman and senators now in
Washington.
Because he heretofore has been
such a devout conservative, SHELLS
speech before the ST. Lawrence
County Society in New York is re-
garded as a further bid for the sup
port Of progressive Republicans in
his fight for the speakership.
Smell asserted that through the
protective tariff system the United
States artihcially has stimulated
and maintained higher standard
of living than in other countries.
He predicted that in the next few
decades living conditions in the
United States and throughout the
world would be nearer the same
level.
Senator James Couzens CN1ich.)
independent Republican member Of
the finance committee which writes
the senate versions of tariff laws,
said.
Generally speaking. I think Mr..
Smell is corset.
There may be some exceptions
and I do not intend that my state
ment shall be conclusive in all re-
spects, but we have gone the limit
on artificial stimulation of living
conditions"

MARION county Republicanism
ASA has come to a fire stsSe If
affairs when John L. Duvall, forA
mer mayor, who recently completed
a thirty-day Jail sentence for viola
ton of the corrupt practices act;
members of his discredited admins
tration, and wheel horses of the
Coffin organization, such as Ira M.
Holmes, become leaders of a "re-
form" movement.
Those Republicans who never
have been allied to George V. Coffin
and his organization, and who have
led various movements to GUST him
as boss" do not know whether to
laugh or cry at the temerity of
members Of the above group in la
beling themselves 'reformers"
1t is without a doubt a most ludi-
crous situation, and the real reason
for the sudden clean politics" con-
seriousness of the new reform"
group lies in the question asked
by Holmes at the first meeting
Wednesday night:
will the people support an or
ganization headed by Cof1n?"
There was a chorus of noes and
that explains in detail the new re
form" movement in the Republican
party in Marion county.
Holmes, it will be recalled, has
been election commissioner in Mar
ion county for ten years. He was
appointed by Coffin to the position
which pays $4,000 an election, as the
vouchers show
Coffin IS good organizer" said
Holmes, but a situation has arisen
where don't believe the party can
win with Coffin" He went on to
term Clyde E. Robinson, present
chairman and county treasurer, just
a messenger boy for Coffin.
The tenor Of all speeches was 1--WE
can't win with Coffin" although all
praised his leadership in the past.
This brings to mind some old say
