ONLY ONE WAY
TO END KIDNAPPING

II Oscar H. Robson is guilty of writing
one of the June Robles kidnapping notes,
as charged in federal grand jury in

ment should be as severe as though he

son might not have abducted the little
girl, his contribution to the case aided
materially in delaying final solution by
police experts who We're assigned to
bring the offenders to justice. The note
he is charged with having written furn-
lshed another clue which sent investi-

II, through Robson's efforts, the kid
napers were allowed to escape, then he is
to be considered an outstanding factor in
failure to bring the criminals to justice.
AS such, he is as great criminal as
they. His punishment should be as Sc

LOCALIZED SLAUGHTER
TNEYCUSABLE

Attorney General L. S. Webb, in ruling
Imperial county's anti-pheasant hunting
ordinance illegal, merely gave his opin-
ion as the states legal chief. He did not
make the ordinance unconstitutional.
Only the state supreme court can do
that. Thus, the ordinance remains in eff
feet until it has been declared by the
supreme court to be void, or until the
county board of supervisors repeals it,
which the board probably will not do.
Realizing this, Judge H. B. Griffin of
the Brawley justice court has declared
he will proceed against hunters shooting
pheasants Just as he would against hunt
ers violating any other game laws.
Whether pheasant hunting is permit
ted in Imperial county or not, sports
men who know the true situation will not
slaughter the beautiful birds. First,
there is little sport in the slaughter.
Most of the pheasants have been reared
in farm yards, Matched from eggs set
under domestic hens. They are not
wild Man, to them, is friend. Sec
and, killing of the pheasants removes one
of the farmers best friends. The birds
feed on grasshoppers and other insect
pests which damage crops considerably.
They do not, themselves, feed upon the
crops.
If there were great number of the
birds in the county, it would be proper
to declare an open season on them. At
present, however the county is not thick
ly stocked with pheasants They are
not native here. They must be hatched
on farms and turned loose in the fields.
After several generations, perhaps, their
status would be that of wildfowl. If
there is to be an open season on the birds
now, their ranks will be thinned to the
vanishing point. 1t will be useless to
breed more of them if the sport of hunt
ers is the only object
Protect the pheasants in Imperial
county for another five years, and hunt
ing will be permissible Without protec-
ton, there will be no pheasant hunting
two seasons from now
