Uncle Sans relief efforts in North
Dakota have been "chiseled" from
the beginning, probably still are be-
ing "chiseled" to some extent, but
less and less each day.
This, at least, is the view Of Off
Gals and individuals who have
watched the development Of the vast
federal relief system and have
checked the effect OF its operations
upon the people.
Examination of the facts leads to
the conclusion that it has been CHS
eled In two major ways and for one
major reason.
The first major way is by certain
public officials who have attempted
to use the relief expenditures as a
means Of feathering their political
nests.
The second has been the efforts OF
people not entitled to relief to obtain
government help and the efforts OF
others to obtain more than their just
due.
Feel Money Is Gift
The leading cause Is the apparent
breakdown In the feeling Of local re-
sponsibility for the poor, the con-
tempt for expenses which too often
accompanies the spending Of other
peoples money. Some officials have
felt that the government money was
a gift and, because Of this fact, they
could be generous with it. Persons
on relief have adopted the same at
titude. The trend is to get everything
you possibly can. This frequently
leads to excuses.
The same situation has led to in
nocent but improper efforts to obtain
help, made by people who did not
need 1t. They thought the relief sys-
tenn was a federal grab-bag, provided
by Santa Claus for the benefit Of
everyone. Why shouldn't they gel
their share?
Take the political chiseling by way
Of example. It has not been the
same in all districts nor the same n
any district at all times, and much
Of it has been unintentional.
In Burleigh county. when the gov
eminent first put It's shoulder to the
relief burden, things were conducted
on q pretty free and easy scale. Store
orders were given to q lot of people
who were not really In need. In some
cases attempts were made to sell
these to various merchants for cash
rather than necessities. A good many
ae tina exo,.iae ~ i,,Ar,,o 1if,, ,uIaiO14 vyore
heard at that time were true. People
with good political connections got
the breaks, very frequently: those
with less pull" did not find it Sc
easy. The fact was among several
reasons which led to the successive
shakeups In the county relief admin.
istration which occurred In the early
days Of the effort.
The same condition probably exist
ed in other counties and for Longer
time than In Burleigh, because thi;
county was close to the center Of re.
lief affairs and abuses here were COR
rected With relative speed.
County Was Penalised
In one North Dakota county, fol-
example, no cash relief has been CIV
en- for months because Of the effort
Of one county commissioner to stir ur
the people to demand more relief. He
has encouraged everyone to ask fol
help. whether they needed 1t or not
and to demand higher relief wages
than were being paid In other parts
Of the state. The result, in that
county. has been q continual turmoil
The relief administration feels It has
prevented chiseling, but the Job has
been q tough one.

j. S. GAME INCREASES,
HUNTERS ARE TOLD
Conservation Can Check Future
Decline, Delegates to New
York Hear.

The 400 delegates to the American
Game Conference which convened in
New York, Monday heard reports that
game Is on the increase in the United
States In spite of growing numbers of
hunters and fishermen and that the
new science Of conservation can check
any decline in the future.
The delegates representing about 49,
10000 hunters and 100000 fisher
men heard various reports ranging from
the unprecedented fight OF ducks the
past season from the Atlantic Coast
as far west as the Texas Panhandle
to the declaration of the New York
Conservation Commission that that
State can raise its own game birds on
its farms far cheaper than they can be
obtained in the open market.
More ducks and geese than in the last
SIX years were reported by E. LIE
Compte, State game warden of Mary
land, who also said the kill was less
than in the last 20 years.
According to NJ D. Hart, chairman
OF the Commission on Inland Game
and Fisheries of Virginia, wild turkey,
ruffed grouse, quail and all kinds of
waterfowl showed gain in his State,
He said his department was proceed
ing against hunters who use automatic
shotguns and overshoot on the day
limit
Proposed reductions in the budget Of
the United States Biological Survey
would almost wreck that bureau, the
delegates were informed The amount
approved for the fiscal year beginning
July Is about 43 per cent below the
cash Withdrawals for the current year.
