For
No Skinny Elk In
Gardiner Area

Federal bureau claims that mass
slaughter is necessary to preserve
the park elk herd from starvation
are not borne out by on-the-spot
observers. Some Helena sportsmen
have spent the last two weekends
in the Gardiner park entrance area.
They saw many elk. They didn't
see a single skinny" one. All of
the animals they saw "were sleek
and fat"
Further, they report that some
of the "trigger-happy" marksmen
of the bureau, one day killed so
many more head than they could
dress out in regular hours that the
force worked all night to save the
carcasses from spoilation.
Possibly it is because the park
elk are "sleek and fat, the De-
partment of Interior is unwilling to
hold public hearing on the issue.
Possibly, it is because large stock
raisers covet the lush winter-feed-
ing range north of the park, that
Park Service officials are so deter
mined to slaughter off substan-
tial percentage of the herd-with-
out a public hearing disrupting
this phase of the national give
away" program.-PV EDITOR.

MURRAY-HINMAN
REMATCH APPEARS
In The OFFING

Odds on favorites to be general
election opponents again this year
as in 1852 are State Treasurer Edna
Frank Murray. Both have announced
their intentions of seeking the post
of Secretary of State, Mrs. Human
on the Republican and Mr.. Murray
on the Democratic ticket.
In 1862, as their party nominees
for Supreme Court Clerk, Murray
won the nod from the electorate for
the six-year post by 3 4,206 margin.
After Governor J. Hugo Aronson took
office Mrs. Human became his recep-
ZIONIST. Then, following the death OF
State Treasurer Charles Sheridan,
she was appointed to serve in that
capacity until the results of the Off
cial canvass of the 1854 general cleo
ton became known. She was a sue
cessful candidate to continue as
Treasurer, at the 1854 election.
The post that both Mrs. Human
and Mr. Murray seek this year is emf
nently more important than either of
their previous state offices. The Sec
rotary of State, besides all of his Tor
herr routine duties, is a member of
two of the states most important ad
ministrative boards, the Board of Ex-
aminers and the Board of Land Com
missioners.
Because of the great Importance
placed by both parties on control Of
these two top state boards it is antici-
pated that much political activity will
be expended by Democrats and Re
publicans alike to capture the office
of Secretary of State.

: Dept. Has Jealous Disregard
Ibic Sentiment"

months ago. The request was re-
lice hearing this month. That re-
quest likewise was refused. Interior
informed us that the park super
intendent would meet with repre-
sentatives of groups interested in
the elk problem for a joint inspec-
ton of the elk range, adding that
in the departments view such a
meeting "would serve the purpose
much better than public hearing"
Prudent game and public lands
management depends to a great ex-
tent on public understanding of the
problems involved. The public must
be taken into the confidence of the
administrators, who should have con-
fidence in the public. The depart
ment's adamant refusal to grant a
public hearing, at which the air could
be cleared, reinforces our opinion
that the Interior Department, particu-
larly those officials responsible on a
policy level for public land manage
ment and wildlife, have a callous dis
regard for public sentiment.
In our opinion, the Yellowstone
Park elk herd problem boils down To
vexing conflict between wildlife
conservation and soil conservation.
Certainly no true conservationist can
become enthusiastic over wholesale
slaughter of prize game animals like
elk. Nor can he walk along the severe
ly depleted range areas of the Yellow
stone and Lamar rivers without be-
ing profoundly concerned over the
effect of overgrazing on the land, as
must live on it. Additionally, there is
the conflict among wildlife itself,
inasmuch as some other species of
wildlife are being crowded out by
the elk.
In other words, there are con-
siderable arguments on both sides
of this issue. What concerns us
most at the moment is the fact that
the public agency charged with re-
sponsibility refuses to grant pub
lie hearing at which it may intro
duce all the evidence it has to sup
port the position it has taken, and
at the same time hear, and counter
if it can, the arguments of those
who question departmental policy
and seek to ask directly questions
relating to transplanting and other
related matters.

copy of this letter to Douglas Mckay,
of the interior.

Continued adamant refusal by the

lie hearing on the mass slaughtering
of Yellowstone Park elk now being
undertaken by the National Park
Service, this week brought forth from
