RECENT GAME LEGISLATION OF INTEREST ALL MEASURES ARE FAVORABLE TO GAME CONSERVATION IN THE STATE PROTECTION IS GIVEN MAN WHO SUFFERS FROM DEPREDA-TIONS OF RABBITS All hunters and those interested in the conservation of wild life in the state will be interested in the following bills relating to game birds and mammals which were passed by the last legislature and signed by the governor. All in all, these measures are favorable to game conservation. Only a very few bills consistent with a program of conservation were crowded out, whereas a large number of bills inconsistent with this program were buried in the committees, says Harold C. Bryant. Senate Bill No. 1268 amends section 642 of the Political Code. It defines the powers of the Fish and Game commission and make it their duty to see that the laws for the protection and preservation of wild mammals, wild birds, ashes, mollusks, crustaceans, and all other forms of aquatic animal and plants are strictly enforced. Herefore there has been some doubt as to the legality of the interest taken by the Commission in other than game fish, birds and mammals. This bill also makes it the duty of the Commission to inspect all places where fish and gaine is held for sale or storage. One of the most important bills passed was that which prohibits the use of any animal, or imitation thereof, as a blind for the purpose of approaching any wild bird, with a view to shooting it or killing it. Although such a law, for several years, has been in force with regard to ducks, yet the AUTO SPEEDERS FINED $50 EACH Dwight Whiting Writes Letter Asking Reduction of Fine Which Judge Cox Refuses George Whiting, brother of Dwight Whiting, owner of an El Toro ranch, and A. C. De Lang were arrested for speeding in their automobiles, and Judge Cox of Santa Ana assessed fines of $50 each against the reckless drivers. Dwight Whiting has written a letter to the judge asking him to reduce the fine if it was possible to do so. Dwight Whiting was riding in the car with DeLang, who was driving the owner's car, when the two automobiles were taken to task near Irvine by motor cops. According to the officers, Dwight Whiting's car was racing with George Whiting's. The speed of the latter's machine was caught at fifty-eight miles an hour. The officers said that one of these in the machines said that further back down the road they were going seventy miles an hour. Dwight Whiting was notified that a fine of $50 would settle the case for George and $50 for DeLang. InWhitings' letter he said that George had his best girl with him, and probably that was the reason why he wanted to show speed. He said that if the judge insisted that $50 was a fair price to charge DeLang he would pay it, but he did hope that the fine would be cut for George because George at present is a little shy on cash. George's machine could not go seventy miles an hour. Its limit is fifty-eight. "I don't know that riding in an automobile with your beat girl is any excuse for smashing the speed laws," said Justice Cox. "Whiting in his letter says that it takes about all the profit there is in the El Toro property to pay taxes." I can't see that and plants are strictly enforced. Heretofore there has been some doubt as to the legality of the interest taken by the Commission in other than game fish, birds and mammals. This bill also makes it the duty of the Commission to inspect all places where fish and game is held for sale or storage. One of the most important bills passed was that which prohibits the use of any animal, or imitation thereof, as a blind for the purpose of approaching any wild bird, with a view to shooting it or killing it. Although such a law, for several years, has been in force with regard to ducks, yet the killing of geese in this manner has not been prohibited; and hence many market hunters have been able to escape conviction by claiming that they were bull hunting for geese when in reality they were hunting ducks. This bill means the death of bull hunting in California. Several bills were passed making the California laws protecting wildfowl correspond with the new Federal migratory bird law. Hence the open seasons on wild fowl are now the same as those provided for in the Federal Migratory Bird Law, and all shore birds, with the exception of the Wilson snipe, black breasted plover, golden plover, and yellowlegs, are protected the year round. The open season on valley and desert quail (October 15 to December 31) has been made to more nearly correspond with the open season on ducks in order that there will be no excuse for a man to carry a gun during the close season on most game birds. With the increased number of hunters, uniformity in game laws becomes more and more necessary. The open season on cottontail and bush rabbits is the same as that for valley and desert quail. This act provides that rabbits may be killed at any time by the owner or tenant of premises and by those authorized in writing by the owner or tenant. This, therefore, will give protection to the man who is suffering from the depredations of rabbits. A tendency toward uniformity in seasons is also to be noted in the new law on doves which provides for the same season (September 1 to November 30, inclusive) throughout the state. The summer open season has allowed the killing of doves during the breeding season, for they breed all through the summer. The new law will, therefore, prevent the destruction of many nestlings heretofore left to starve because of the death of their parents who were killed according to law. Much improvement on the laws relating to deer is to be seen. The killing of spiked bucks is now prohibited. Any male deer with straight unbranched horns or antlers shall be considered a spiked buck. The following provision is also made in the same law: "Every person taking or killing any deer must retain in his possession, during the open season, and for ten days after the close of the open season, the skin and portion of the head bearing the horns and musculus charge DeLang he would pay it, but he did hope that the fine would be cut for George because George at present is a little shy on cash. George's machine could not go seventy miles an hour. Its limit is fifty-eight. "I don't know that riding in an automobile with your beat girl is any excuse for smashing the speed laws," said Justice Cox. "Whiting in his letter says that it takes about all the profit there is in the El Toro property to pay taxes. I can't see that that is any reason for letting him off. There is only one question up, and that concerns speed and the degree of speed." In a letter to the district attorney Dwight Waiting states that DeLang is working for a moving picture company of which Dwight is manager. CORPORATIONS TO PAY BIQ SUMS Within the next four weeks the state treasurer will be confronted with the task of collecting seven million dollars from corporations of the state. Over twenty thousand corporations have been assessed by the state board of equalization and must pay or forfeit their rights to do business in this state. The largest amount of taxes is due from the railroads, with power companies and banks close contenders for second place. These three kinds of corporations will pay five and a half million due. The kind of corporations assessed both on their franchise and gross income, and the half now due is as follows: Railroad corporations $3,294,020.15 Power companies 1,142,023.27 Bank corporations 1,112,979.27 Insurance companies 511,443.98 Telegrapa & Phone Cos. 393,966.23 Oil companies 203,839.50 Express companies 61,380.76 Water companies 52,588.80 Car companies 39,147.82 Mining companies 34,803.00 Building and loan assns. 8,647.50 Other corporations 653,784.50 Total $7,508,624.89 COTTONTAIL RABBITS A PEST IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY The ranchers of San Diego county have so consistently complained about the depredations of cottontail rabbits that it was found necessary to place a provision in the new law allowing the killing of rabbits when found destroying crops. One rancher reported to the Game commission that his loss Commenting on exports of agriculture from $40,600,000 in year, to $10,000,000 a report of the mercee says: "And factor was the result of great plants in financed and contracted capital, for the making machinery."

Now this plough at the same little higher, but this who consumed his beef reduced, or that er decreased, and thie plements men will try to the wall. Don't go for going where they Much improvement on the laws relating to deer is to be seen. The killing of spiked bucks is now prohibited. Any male deer with straight unbranched horns or antlers shall be considered a spiked buck. The following provision is also made in the same law: "Every person taking or killing any deer must retain in his possession, during the open season, and for ten days after the close of the open season, the skin and portion of the head bearing the horns, and must produce this upon the demand of any officer authorized to enforce the fish and game laws." The open season on deer have been placed later in the year, thus guarding against the possibility of destroying deer while their horns are still in the velvet. Under the law now in force the season opens much too early. Bag limits on most species have been considerable reduced. Senate Bill No. 971 provides bag limits as follows: Ducks, geese (except honkers and black sea brant), 25 per day, 50 per week; honkers and black sea brant, 12 per day, 24 per week; quail, shore birds, 15 per day, 30 per week; doves, 15 per day; mountain quail, 10 per day, 20 per week; grouse, sage hen, 4 per day, 8 per week; cotton tail, bush rabbits, 15 per day, 30 per week. In the districting bill, provision for a number of new game refuges is made. Certain areas are designated to constitute fish and game districts, and the killing of wild animals or mammals in these districts is prohibited. The only exception to the total prohibition of hunting in these refuges is to be found in district 28, where the killing of water fowl is allowed. This exception was made because the Bear Valley region constitutes the only duck grounds in southern California that are still open to the general public. Provision is made for the killing of predatory species in all of the refuges by securing written permission from the Fish and Game commission. Attempts to make longer seasons and larger bag limits on many of the game species, and the attempt to place meadowlarks, blackbirds and robins in the list of game birds met with failure. COTTONTAIL RABBITS A PEST IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY The ranchers of San Diego county have so consistently complained about the depredations of cottontail rabbits that it was found necessary to place a provision in the new law allowing the killing of rabbits when found destroying crops. One rancher reported to the Game commission that his loss from rabbits was $350 last season, that on the brush side of all fields the grain was eaten off from three to five rods, and that one piece of wheat was completely destroyed. Although there is usually a tendency to over estimate the damage caused by game species, yet the new provision in the rabbit law is a good one and will evidently come as a boon to many ranchers in San Diego county and other places in the state where the cottontail is numerous. District attorney L. A. West has been instructed by the board of supervisors to start action to condemn a coast boulevard right of way through the lands of the Bolsa Gun club, between Sunset eBach and Huntington Beach. The board was addressed by J. A. Armitage of Sunset Beach, L. H. Wallace of Newport Beach, H. L. Heffner of Huntington Beach and P. A. Stanton of Los Angeles, urging that immediate action be taken. The instruction to start a condemnation suit comes after a long period of negotiations with the gun club. At one time a deed to the strip was offered to the county but it contained provisions that were not acceptable to the county. The strip is along the beach, and is planned to be a part of the contemplated coast boulevard. "WONDER POWDER" FOR SPRAYING orange and fruit trees. The only true spraying powder.

It is still less than a year, and it is easy to recall the cries of anguish coming to us from across the sea of a multitude of our brethren who had been caught, as it were, between the upper and nether millstones of the god Mars. They had money to burn, but no matches to start the fire. Owing to the paralysis of exchanges, and inability to realize on any evidences of credit, they were in a distressing plight. All American hearts bled for them. In a fine glow of patriotic fervor, we, collectively, acting through Congress, appropriated $2,750,000 to be placed in the hands of disbursing agents abroad to supply them with funds for the relief of their immediate wants, to house them comfortably, and to pay their passage home. Our entire diplomatic and consular service was put at their disposal. They came trooping back by thousands, and we welcomed them with open arms. Ever since then we have so congratulated ourselves on our generosity that it comes as a shock to see the announcement of Secretary McAdoo's intention to sue many of them, known to be well able to pay, for a recovery of the sums advanced. The secretary intimates that, in some cases, there is no plea of poverty entered, but a downright refusal to reimburse the government. The institution, or only the threat of institution, of such suits, will probably bring in the money. Whether it does or not, the situation should not cool our patriotic ardor for protection of our citizens abroad. Mr. Bryan said recently that citizens abroad in time of war owe something to their gift could drum the business for a fine harvest of political nuts. Certainly the non-partisan law is full of promise. CAMP WAITERS WANTED FOR STATE WORK The California state civil service commission announces an examination for camp waiter, to be held August 14, to secure a list of eligibles from which to fill vacancies in the engineering service of the state. Candidates must be capable of waiting upon table, helping the cook in the operation of the dining room and kitchen, handling a range, and taking charge of the kitchen during the cook's one day a week off. The salary is $50 per month and board. Application blanks and further information may be secured from the state civil service commission, Forum building, Sacramento. Completed applications must be filed with the commission on or before August 14, 1915. DEFENCE AND THE DEFICIT The administration announces that it intends to lay before congress an adequate program of national defense. This will cost money. The treasury deficit at the end of the fiscal year—June 30—was around $40,000,000. The deficit for the single month of July in the current fiscal year is close to half that sum. On the first of May, 1916, sugar goes upon the free list—which will entail a loss of revenue amounting to more than $10,000,000. On the 31st of December, 1915, the so-called war taxes will expire by limitation, entailing a decrease of many more millions in revenue. Therefore it is plainly to be seen that, whether we provide for national defense or not, increased revenue must be had.

Orange County Milling Company AMERICAN MANUFACTURERS GOING ABROAD Commenting on the decrease in our exports of agricultural implements—from $40,600,000 in 1913, a republican year, to $10,000,000 fiscal year 1915, a report of the department of commerce says: "Another contributory factor was the recent establishment of great plants in Russia and France financed and controlled by American capital, for the manufacture of farming machinery." This is but another instance of the democrats placing the blame on a condition of affairs which they created. By placing farm implementations on the free list they encouraged American capital to go abroad; erect mills and employ foreign labor, after having either closed up its mills or reduced the number of hands employed here. Corporations like the International Harvester company can possibly afford to do such a thing. A representative of this company, appearing before the Ways and Means committee, said that the International needed no protective duties, but he hoped the committee would give protection to the numerous small companies in this country. The republicans gave the small men a protective duty of 15 per cent, which enabled them to run. Then came Mr. Underwood, with his bunk for farm consumption. Free trade in farming implements would give the farmer a cheaper plough. Witness the result above mentioned. Now the farmer will get his plough at the same old price, or a little higher, but the number of men who consumed his farm products will be reduced, or their purchasing power decreased, and the small farm implements men will ultimately be push to the wall. Don't blame the big men for going where they can manufacture in the current fiscal year is close to half that sum. On the first of May, 1916, sugar goes upon the free list—which will entail a loss of revenue amounting to more than $10,000,000. On the 21st of December, 1915, the so-called war taxes will expire by limitation, entailing a decrease of many more millions in revenue. Therefore it is plainly to be seen that, whether we provide for national defense or not, increased revenue must be had. The democratic leaders are considering this question. They plan to put a tax on tea, on coffee, on bananas, and on several other articles of common consumption. In other words they intend to tax every man's table. When the democrats took over the government they found a full treasury and ample revenues. They found, too, a steady program of naval construction and other items of national defense. In two short years they have emptied the treasury, have diminished the revenues, have crippled the navy and the army; until now, when the question of defense looms up they can deal with it only after they have dealt with a deficit. The real way to handle both questions, defense and the deficit is to restore the republican party to power. The ordinance requested by Sheriff Jackson and Deputy District Attorney Koepsel making it a misdemeanor to grow, give away, sell or have in possession any marihuana, the Mexican name for cannabis indica, the botanical name for Indian hemp, has been passed by the supervisors. AN INCH OF RAIN An inch of rain coming down on a single acre of ground would fill more than 600 barrels of 45 gallons capacity each. This amount of water would weigh more than 110 tons, or nearly a quarter of a million pounds. BEST PANAMA HATS Three to six months, working four or five hours each day, are required in Ecuador to complete the best Panama hats, but children will make two of the cheaper grade hats from undressed straw in a day. Qualifications such as patience, good eyesight and the skill acquired by years of experience are necessary to produce the very best grade of hats. FOR SALE OR TRADE—5 acres im- wood, with his bunk for farm consumption. Free trade in farming implements would give the farmer a cheaper plough. Witness the result above mentioned. Now the farmer will get his plough at the same old price, or a little higher, but the number of men who consumed his farm products will be reduced, or their purchasing power decreased, and the small farm implements men will ultimately be push to the wall. Don't blame the big men for going where they can manufacture cheapest when they have a free American market. Blame the democratic law. It is an unusual democratic tariff law which does not work both ways to our disadvantage. NON-PARTISAN FALLACIES Governor Capper of Kansas, who is visiting in Southern California touches upon the proposed non-partisan bill in a recent interview. He says it tends toward the formation of many small parties, backed by demagogic individuals. Applied to the Kansas judiciary, he said it was discarded after a two-year trial. The objection is the fundamental one to the non-partisan plan. Parties there have been since the world began and parties there will be until its end. In church, in politics, social cliques and scientific schools, wherever there is divergence of opinion that is the signal for formation of parties. There can be no such thing as a non-partisan law. There can be only such a law as will change our present party organization system; but that system, if changed, would merely be succeeded by a variety of non-descript cohesions. A SingleTax League might become a power in state politics. A Universal Six-hour Day League with powerful appeal to labor, might easily erect a state government in the face of many conflicting fad-parties.
