UntuUoruble Conditions of
Wild Life Can Be Remedied

Speaking to the members of the
Isaac Walton League of America at
their recent convention in Chicago
Paul G. Redington, chief of the Bur-
eau of Biological Survey. discussed
present day conditions unfavorable to
wild life and presented possible
remedies. He stated that "of all the
handicaps under which wild life must
exist today lack Of public information
is one of the most serious with which
we must contend"
Right here on our own Island we
find this lack of information causing
quite bitter feeling between the
farmer and the sportsman or hunter.
do not take either side in this con-
troversy, but my sympathies go to the
farmer and owner of cultivated
ground, particularly the poultryman
The latter suffers financially as the
explosion of barrage of shotgun fire
near his hen house causes dire dam
age. 1t is this lack of public informa-
ton as far as the hunter goes that is
the real reason the poultryman wants
to keep the hunter off of his land.
The average poultryman, nine times
out Of ten, rather there were no birds
on his land. He thinks the "chinks''
destroy his crop. This is lack OF
knowledge on his part, as it has been
proven to my satisfaction at least, and
to the satisfaction of the Federal Bur-
eau of Biology, that the wild bird, par
ticularly the pheasant, quail, and
partridge destroy millions of cut
worms, grubs, weevil and magot life
that develop into flies which lay eggs
to perpetuate their kind.
One worm of the corn borer de-
velops into fly which lays 100000
eggs. At least SO percent Of these eggs
are destroyed by natures control in
the form of the insectivorous bird life.
BY destroying or curtailing bird pro-
duction we would work toward the
ultimate elimination of higher life on
the face of the earth. For without
the destruction Of insect life which is
accompanied by the birds complete
destruction Of vegetation by the in
sects would result, making human ex-
istence impossible.
Go to any gardener, horticulturist
or farmer and ask him If he needs
spray or control of insect life to get
good crop. Then think of the rea-
son. In her natural state, Nature
makes no mistakes and always MAIN
tains balance. But man in his avid
state destroys that balanced by clear
ing the natural nesting and breeding
grounds Of animal life, Its cover and
sanctuary.
Every cultivator of the soil should
leave some cover and plant certain

island School Boards
Organize for New Year

Meetings held in the six school dis
tricts of the Island on Monday eve
ming resulted in some cases in a com.
plete reorganization, while several Of
the boards retained the same per-
sonell.
Those who will direct the business
and of our educational affairs for the
coming year are as follows:
Burton-Southern Heights Consoli-
dated District-Phil Green, chairman;
Peter Smith, clerk; Bert Lewis.
Center District--Carl Kolstad, chair
man; Otto Therkelsen, clerk; VIM
Dunlap.
Columbia (Cove) District-Rev. @
Aug. Peterson, chairman; Geo. Walls
clerk; Al Sundberg.
Lisabeula District John Brink
chairman; Graham Maloney, clerk; H
o. Wegener.
Maury- Dockton District Charles
Merry, chairman; C. M. Rhulen, clerk;
"A. uOLllloOll.
Vashon District--L. c. Beall, chair
man; Mrs. w. v. Convey, clerk; L. p.
Black.
The board of directors for the high
school will consist of John Brink,
Chas. Merry, and G. August Peterson,
who have each served for several
years, and L. G. Beall, Phil Green and
Carl Kolstad, new members. The new
high school board will be organized
on next Tuesday evening.
Never in the history of the Island
have school directors been faced with
so many and varied problems as are
these men now taking office. Lack of
funds, warrant Indebtedness, new
political situation which will require a
complete reorganization which is
without precedent lies before them.
It is hopeful sign that realizing these
conditions men of such sound bust
ness Judgment could be prevailed upon
to accept the responsibility.

ISLAND CEMETERIES
BEING BEAuTIFIED

A crew Of ten men are at work put
ting the vashon cemetery into perfect
condition. There has never been suf-
ficient funds in the association to do
this work, but under the program OF
welfare work this is being done as a
community project. When the present
plans are carried out the cemetery will
be in accordance with what had al
ways been planned, but never accom-
plished.
The same plan will be carried out
In improving the Maury cemetery.
There Is no reason why the Island
cemeteries should not be beautified
es are the cemeteries of other local
tiles, and THIS work Is Just another
argument in favor Of the present plan.

Taxpayers Granted
Time on Back Taxes

It has been called to our attention
that many of our readers are not fully
aware Of the manner In which the
time for paying real and personal
taxes has been extended. While the
twenty-third legislature failed in It's
campaign promise to lower taxation 1t
did pass a number of bills which were
signed by the governor granting a
longer period to raise the money for
taxes.
Real Estate Taxes.
The time for the payment of real
estate taxes has been extended to May
18th, with 3 per cent rebate If paid
in fully by that date.
Personal Property Taxes.
The time for the payment Of per-
sonal property taxes has also been ex-
tended to May 18th.
State Income Tax.
Time for filing returns has been ex-
tended to April nth. Payments need
not be made until the state tax COM
mission informs the taxpayer Of the
amount and In what manner the tax
shall be paid.
Delinquent Personal and Realty Tax.
All tax foreclosures will be postponed
until March l, 1884 All interest on
unpaid taxes prior to 1882 will be
cancelled If payments are made prior
to March /, 1894. If paid before No
vember 30 the taxpayer will receive
a s per cent rebate. Payments of half
years back taxes will receive the
same concessions on interest cancella-
ton as larger payments, but full
years taxes must be paid at one time
If the rebate is allowed. Taxpayers
are also authorized to make contracts
with county treasurers for INSTALL
ments on which past penalties will be
suspended.

Work Program Is a
Govt Requirement

1t is doubtful If there is general
knowledge of the plan under which
the new system Of welfare put into
operation by the committee appointed
early in his term by Gov. Martin is
being worked out.
The new system is vastly different
from the dole system in practice. IN
stead of groceries dispensed from CEN
trail commissaries vouchers are given
heads of families in return for labor
at the rate of six hours of labor for
every 50 need arrived at by a cerefully
worked out family budget This budget
is made out individually for each
family and in fact every case is
handled as an individual one. For
instance, one family may consist of
four adults. That family will require
more groceries than family consist
ing of q father and mother and two
small children. The largest amount
allowed one family is 81 per week per
person up to members and less per
person above that number.
When a family makes application
for help 1t is visited by the COM
munity home visitor. A record is made
of the number in the family, the
needs, such as light, rent, water, fuel,
etc. A survey is made of their assets,
such as farm produce, vegetables and
canned food on hand, any possible in
come from the sale of produce, pen
sion, or any means whatsoever of in
come. This is subtracted from the
needs decided upon by the case
budget. Upon the difference between
the amount needed and available is
based the number of days work per
month the head of the house will be
given. Pay for this work is made by
vouchers good at accredited stores in
the community.
Some criticism of the 50 per day
wage has been made. 1t must be re-
membered that this is not primarily a
work program, but means of relief
in dire need and consequently is not
setting wage precedent. The work
carried on is not competitive, and in
many cases would not otherwise be
done. All work accomplished is of
course constructive and worthwhile.
Many community improvements all
over the state have been made by this
means, sewer systems, Fairgrounds,
short pieces of road construction,
clearing of public land, wood cutting
for other welfare cases not physically
able to do the work themselves, clean
up work All of these have been pro-
jects which have bettered the COM
munity, furnished help to those
financially embarrassed and at the
same time saved self respect.
When there is general understand
ing that this new program is digni.
fled, American means of furnishing
help at time when financial reversss
are the rule, not the exception, then
will the general public realize just
what it means. A real understanding
of the operation of the welfare pro-
gram is all that is needed to put an
end to any criticism made by the
element of society which is destructive
rather than constructive in its critic
ism and for which there is little place
in the scheme of things here on
Vashon- Maury Island.
