Under the present system, the
work of valuation has many de-
fects. it subjects the taxpaying pub
lie to the widest possible variety of
judgment as to full and true value
and taxable value. This variation
comes from various causes such,
for instance, as: lack of personal
qualifications to make fair valua-
lions, lack Of time, lack of per-
manent records that can be referr-
ed to when new assessments are
being made.
We have found in our investiga-
tons where assessors could see
values of only $687 in one farm
owned by a home man, while for q.
farm in the same district that was
quite similar as to value, the build
ings and land owned by an absentee
weer valued at $500. .
Such specific cases as these show
the need of county or district as
SCISSORS trained for the work, who
consider values on their merits, not
on acquaintanceship.

this mandate is one of the greatest
weaknesses in our present system
of taking assessments. The same
statute directs that land and i'm

value. But it is only human that
assessments will be kept down,
consciously or unconsciously. The
fact of the matter is that the law

Gun Barrels Won't Stretch, War
dens Warn

Washington, D. C.-"Gun Bar
rels won't stretch" William
Schuenke, supervisor of game of
the Iowa State Fish and Game
Commission, warns with most OF
the hunting seasons in full swing
this month, according to bulletin
of the American Game Association
here. Officials of the Association
endorse Mr.. Schuenke's warning
and urge hunters to take only sure
dead shooting range shots and try
to conserve all the game possible.
Officials of the Association regard
Mr.. Schuenke's conservation effort
as a splendid example of what
states can do to conserve wild life.
Watch hunter sometime, Mr..
Schuenke says, and see how many
times a hunter tries to stretch his
gun barrels in order to bring
duck down. Measure the distance
between the end of the gun barrel
and the bird. Then stop and think
whether you have done the same
thing.
Trying to stretch the gun bar
res is the cause of many crippled
ducks and other game birds, be-
cause the shot have spent their
force when they reach the bird.
Gun Barrels won't stretch. Do not
take long shots, for it usually re-
suits in some bird being left to die
a slow death or to become the
prey of some predator.- This year
it is more important that ever that
we reduce the number of cripples
for there is a shortage of water
fowl due to the drought of the last
few years.
A good sportsman glories in a
shot where the duck folds up and
falls dead, Mr.. Schuenke continues.
Watch the duck or other bird, as 1t
falls and make every effort to re-
trieve it.
A retriever dogs is perhaps the
best way to recover all dead and
crippled birds. Another effective
method of retrieving dead or
wounded birds that fall in thick
cover is the hat method. The hun.
ter should mark where he thinks
the bird fell and then place his hat
at the spot. Then start walking
around it in slowly widening cir
cles. If the hunter looks close he Is
practically sure of finding the bird
eventually.
But thus retrieving all dead
birds and all the cripples possible,
the hunter practices conservation
at the end of the gun barrels. The
more the hunter retrieves, the less
number he will shoot to fill his bag
officials of the Association point
out, and urge each hunter not to
take any more than he needs.

Game As A Crop -,


land and should be handled as such
that educated man power to mani
pulate this crop is the formation OF
the whole structure Of wild life
conservation and that conserva-
ton of wild life is actually a prob
lem in organization, are points that
Major L. w. T. Waller, Jr., inter-
nationally known conservationist
and sportsmn of Meadowbrook,
Pa, will emphasize in his address
to be delivered at the Nineteenth
American Game Conference at Ho-
tel Pennsylvania, New York City,
November %, 20 and 80, bulletin
the American Game Association
announces. =
Major Waller will point out that
conservation is suffering from
many causes and as a consequence,
wild life is steadily decreasing; and
on the other hand that it can be
made to increase, probably even
more rapidly by regarding wild life,
as a crop and by applying the same
principles to develop it as are used
in developing agriculture and for
estry.
The foundation Of the whole struc-
ture is educated man power Major
Waller said in discussing his COM
ing address, which many conser-
vationists believe, will direct
thought and efforts into new chan
nels. We are really faced with an
organization job and not conser-
walton job as we understand the
terms. Faults of conservation to-
day will disappear if we provide
the educated man power compare
the operations of game conserva-
ton with those of any large techni-
cal commercial concern wild life
conservation easily takes its place
with billion dollar businesses and
such a companion will demonstrate
most clearly the lack of educated
man power and the lack of re-
search. Some of the technical con-
Germs have given fellowships in un-
iversities, many of them maintain
their own research laboratories
and spend huge sums on research.
If a commercial concern wants TO
go into quantity production on any.
product, it must have the know
how. and the educated man power
to put that know how to work to
produce the desired results. Leav-
ing out all considerations of senti-
ment, we desire to put game, or
wild life on a quantity production
basis in every state, every county,
every township in the nation, and
we have neither the know how nor
the educated man power to put II
across. ..- -
Major Waller says research will
reveal the know how and educated
man power will apply it, thus
bringing about the restoration OIL
wild life. Both research and edu-
Gated man power can be had by en-
listing the universities and colleges
to produce them, he concluded.
