HUNTERS SHOULD PROTECT
THE SPORT

1t is regretable that so many hunters
should be hailed before the courts on
charges involving infringement of the
game laws. In the majority of instances,
the culprits have been guilty of bagging
more than the legal limits, an accom-
plishment which good sportsmen view
with disgust but which poor sportsmen
consider smart.
Limits have been fixed so as to pro-
tect game birds from eradication. Ad-
herence to the requirements guarantee
a continuance of the sport itself, while
ruthless slaughter in unlimited amount
would soon devestate the hunting areas
and put an end to the pastime.
That so few local residents were
among those charged with offenses indi-
Gates that valleyites are good sportsmen
and desirous of maintaining dove-hunt-
ing.

F. ID. r. MEETS ALE

We all read with interest every word
telling of the presidents meeting with
Alf Landon.
Every pronouncement has indicated
that politics were forgotten in the visit,
that there was no political import in the
meeting. In fact recalling the refusal
four years ago of president-elect Roose-
velt to meet with president-defeat
Hoover, many half expected that Landon
would decline the invitation to join in
the conference, preferring to PROFOUND
his suggestions and possible solution
plans in campaign speeches.
Democratic politicians say that Fran
kiln had Alf in a politically embarrass-
ing position in that, had Landon refused
to meet he would have been accused of
withholding important aid from his
midwest constituents. They say that by
divulging his suggestions for drought
relief, he destroyed some of his political
gun powder.
Republicans, on the other hand, say
that Alf called Franklin's hand by COM
ing to the meetings, and proved himself
so sincerely interested in the welfare
of the farmer that all political strategy
was thrown to the winds, thus endear-
ing himself to the rural voter.
Be that as it may, most everyone
would have enjoyed being there to wit
ness their mutual actions and conduct,
compare mental statures of the two
candidates, and examine each and every
spoken phrase for half-hidden political
implications. Judging from reports
each stuck by the truce, acted in 100 per-
cent good faith, and conducted himself
in exemplary manner.

IMMIGRANTS A BIG PROBLEM
lSanta Rosa Press-Democrat)

California faces relief problem, according
10 State Controller Ray L. Riley, which is not
only grave but fast growing acute. Its cause
is the flood of jobless itinerantS pouring into the
state, mainly from the middle west.
The situation IS depicted as being worse in
this state than in any other, for the reason that
the tremendous migration of unemployed has
continued steadily for three years. Less favor
able economic conditions in many other states,
the mild Pacific coast climate and knowledge of
better living conditions in California than else
where, as a rule, are the principal reasons for
the continuous influx
As result OF this westward movement OF
the unemployed, despite the rapid improvement
industrialy, Controller Riley asserts that the
state budget for the coming bennium will exceed
the total of approximately four hundred and
thirty million appropriated for the l935-37 per-
iod. Whether the general fund allotment ex-
ceeds the present item Of two hundrd and
eghty-four million depends entirely on the
needs for unemployment relief.
Estimates of budget requirements for the
next biennium will be given the legislature in
January by the state controller. satisfactory
solution of the problem will be difficult II is
evident that if immigration conditions remain
unchanged the government, in recognition OF
the unemployment burden thrown California
by the middle west, must increase the state
allotment of federal relief funds

Device Solves
Old Problem

The latest development in
kitchen improvement is in the
elimination Of garbage. The new
device allows all types Of garbage
to be carried down the drain in
perfect safety. Potatoes may be
peeled, plates scraped, directly
into the drain and flushed with
water into the plumbing.
Such an improvement will Ger.
tainly win immediate approval
from the housewife. It is one Of
the pieces Of equipment that can
be installed in the old sink.
The drain is enlarged to about
five inches in diameter but the
motor is installed out Of sight
under the sink. The operating
expense, it is claimed, is very
slight.
The motor operates automatic
ally so that there are no worries
as to its efficiency nor danger Of
clogged plumbing. The garbage ID
ground to q fine pulp BY heavy
burns.
