TO REDUCE WILD
LIFE MENACE
Intensive Campaign To Cut
Down the Number of
Predatory Game
GAME COMMISSION ACTS

An intensive campaign to cut
down the number of predatory ami
mails and birds in Delaware that
annually destroy large numbers OF
game, birds and animals has bene
inaugurated here. So great is the
menace to future game in the
State that sportsmen, including
hundreds of members of the Della
ware Sportsmen's Association are
seriously considering petitioning
the General Assembly now in ses-
sion for funds and legislation to
combat the situation on a scale
now employed in Pennsylvania and
New Jersey. The Delaawre Fish
and Game Commission, headed by
former Governor Robert P. Robin
son, has been doing its bit along
these lines for some time and also
encouraging farmers, sportsmen
and others to join in the move
ment. The lives of hundreds of
thousands of Hedging birds and
young rabbits and squirrels, it is
said, could be saved annually in Del
aware if more intensive and scien-
tific measures were employed. The
list of predatory animals and birds
in Delaware includes cats, weasles.
red squirrels and foxes, hawks and
crows. Chief Game Warden Clar-
ence S. Foster, of Newark, said the
Delaware Fish and Game Commits
sion through an act of a recent
Legislature, pays bounty of 80
cents for every hawk head turned
in with the exception of the SPAR
row or mouse hawk, and also 5
cents for every crow head. Dur
ing the past two years, Mr.. Foster
said, his assistants have rounded
up 4001 stray dogs and 8O4 stray
cats. Where owners could not be
found, he said, they are gassed.
He also said his men had killed
80 hawks and 20 weasies. He
said he had received many COM
plants lately from farmers who
said gray foxes were killing their
chickens. The Commission, Mr..
Foster said, has paid bounties re-
Gently of more than 500 for 1852
hawk heads and 1S5 crow heads.
The movement is gaining in inter
est daily, he said.

HARTLY POSTMASTER HURT
Accidentally Shot by Colored Man
Handling a Gun

AT a shoot Tuesday afternoon of
last week near Lockwod's Chapel.
in which several marksmen were
displaying their skill, Howard
Schweitzer, postmaster at Hartly,
was accidentally shot by a gun in
the hands of Freeman Cammi1e,
colored, who had loaded his gun
and was closing it when it acci-
dentally discharged, hitting Mr..
Schweitzer in the left leg above
the ankle The shot tore away the
flesh and at first it was feared that
the load had struck deep into the
leg. He was rushed to Kent Cen
eral Hospital where an examina-
ton disclosed that the wound was
not dangerous. State Highway Of
ficers Conrad and King investigat-
ed the shooting and decided it was
purely accidental, the injured man
also concurring therein. No arrest
was made.

farmers agree to hold paintings for

normal response to severe, though

drought is a planting of a larger

Break Caused by Ex-Prince's

Paris.-The latest attempt to
bring about a reconciliation of for
mer King Alfonso and his eldest
son. the former prince of Asturias,
has resulted In a total failure.

he could do more for himself than
any would-be peacemakers, and, TAX

where the exiled family had made
its headquarters.
The prince selected an auspicious
occasion. the twenty-frst birthday
celebration of his younger brother,
Don Juan. The former king and
queen were busy arranging the
birthday festivities.
The young prince. who abdicated
his rights to the throne and is now
known as Count Cavadonga. took
his wife by the arm, swept by the
servants. and marched boldly into
the house. Expecting to meet his
father face to face, he was badly
disappointed. Alfonso disappeared
into his private apartments and de-
clined to come out. The prince sue
ceeded, however, in seeing his
mother and brother.
Some months ago when the prince
was i'll in a Paris hotel, Iumurs
went out that he was in a critical
condition. The former queen heard
the reports and motored in from
Fontainebleau. A reconciliation took
place between mother and son. De

NEWSPAPERS OPINION
wHIsKEY TAKES THE STEERING WHEEL

In recent series of graphic bulletins, the Ma
tional Safety Council points to tremendous IN
crease in drunken driving during the past year
and to substantial gain in the number of deaths
and injuries due to mixing alcohol and gasoline
The first - months of repeal may have been bene-
fetal in some respects-but it left devastating
trail of death behind it. Severe as the drunken
driving problem was during prohibition, it has be-
come douby now.
The best obtainable statistics indicate that five
to ten per cent of both drivers and pedestrians in
voved in traffic accidents are under the influence
of liquor. These statistics, however, IN the behet
of the Council, understate matters, inasmuch as
multitude of accidents occur in which drinking IS
factor but is not reported for one reason or an
other. A short time ago thorough survey was
made of 119 accidents involving 116 injuries and
fatalities-and it showed that in 60 per cent of
the accidents the alcohol factor involved. Ac-
cording to the authority making this survey, as
little as one ounce of whiskey will cause meas
urable loss of driving efficiency in the average
person.
Reports from traffic departments throughout the
nation thoroughly back up the fact that drunken
driving is showing an astounding gain. Drunken
driving arrests amount to from 20 to 100 per cent
more than they did year ago, and police authorl-
ties likewise state that rising percentage of &C
cdents can be ascrbed to the "lttle black bottle.
Here is a problem that involves the health, life
and property of every citizen. 1t is a problem
that must be fought by US ALL drys and vets alike.
Under the best of conditions, highways and streets
are potentially dangerous and they become
when whskey takes the steering

MONEY IN LABOR LEADERSHIP

Thomas H. Maloy head of the Chicago Motion
Picture Operators Union, was assassinated early
last week, in daylight, on street not far from
the heart of the business district The union which
Maloy has dominated for a long time has been in
much trouble and the killing of its head may have
been due to factionalism. His conduct of union
affairs has been marked by murders, strikes and
terrorism.
Maloy was indicted by federal grand jury last
month and was at liberty under bond of S25, OOO
He was accused of income tax evasion, in that he
did not report $35O,OOO received from 1929 to
1888
The Indictment indicates that some labor leaders
are fairly well paid for their work. Unfortunately
Maloy was killed before the government brought
him to trial and could reveal the source of his re-
markable income in times of depression The or
ganizatlon ne headed has been stencil in labo:
circles in Chicago. Maloy has been investigated in
connection with three Killings one of which took
place in his office.-Spartanburg Herald.

WHY KILL THE GOOSE?

Government is maintained by taxation on in
dustry.
Tine pay of public officials comes from the taxes
that are taken from industry.
Then, why do so many public officials seek to
gain popularity by attacking industry?
The simplest reasoning indicates the insanity of
such procedure.
The government in competition with private
business can lead to but one end-destruction of
private business which means destruction of con-
stitutional rights.
No bit of liberty that is given up by people as
bureaucracy encroaehes on individual rights, is
ever regained except by pain and suffering.
The problem of unfolding constitutional rights,
or defending personal liberties and private proper
ty from the grasping hand of politics, is not par
tisan ISSUE it is personal matter to every citizen.
1t makes no difference under what guise liberty
and private enterprise are destroyed, the common
people suffer and pay for the privileged, political
class that profits
Personal liberty is indeed priceless heritage
which should never be willingly exchanged for a
mess of political pottage and patronage that de-
stroys private enterprise.-Florence, S. c., News.

HOW FAR GOVERNMENT CONTROL?

How long is the government going to continue
to feed millions of people who canot feed them
selves and the children they have begotten? Mil
lions of Americans are already refraining from
having children because they cannot support the
children of other people for whom the government
exacts taxes from them and their own children
also These moderately successful and therefore
presumably socially useful, persons, cannot refuse
to pay the taxes for supporting the children of the
people who cannot support those whom they beget
What kind of nation will this be after this policy
has been pursued for some considerable time? VINO
