LOW RATES TO THE PACIFIC COAST IN 1909. Railroads Fix a Fifty Dollar Round Trip Rate for the Alaska-Yukon Pacific Exposition in Seat tle NYxt Y.r. Sean,ie. Oct. 29.-Travel to the North Pacifie Coast next summer will undoubtedly be the hieavi-st -'Zl t!1e hiistory of the transcontinental railroads. The railroads have fixed upon the rates. that will be charged from what is known as the St. Paul and Missouri river points. At the re cent meeting of the Transcontinental Passenger Association the rates for the Alaska-Yukon Exposition next .i;ummer were settled. From the following points-Oma ha. Comncil Bluffs, Pacific Junction, Atchison,. Leavenworth. St. Joseph. Kansas City, St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth and Superior-the round trip rate to the North Pacific Coast points-Seattle, Tacoma, Portland, Everett. Bellingham, Victoria and Vanconver. B. C.-was fixed at .$50. The tickets will go on sale May 25, 1909. and continue on sale until Sep tember 30, with a final return limit of October 31. These rates and the wide limit of time will stimulate travel to this sec tion as never before. Thousands drawn by the magnet of the great Pacifie World': fair will come with the idea of looking into the resources of the country and hundreds of in tending settlers will use this unexcell ed opportunity to make their investi gations. The liberal rates for the St. Paul and Missouri river points means a like reduced round trip rate from Chicago and St. Louis points ' and proportionate reduction from ex treme eastern points. Never before have people had such a splendid op portunity. The Hunting License. It almost goes without saying that if birds, game and fish are worth pre serving, then they must be intelli gently looked after, and to do this en tails expense. How shall this expense be met? The question has been ag.i tated for a long time, and the net re :3alt is that all States and countries that are preserving game have adopt ed the license system. None has ever tried it and abandoned it. This uni versal experience ought to weigh mightily in determining a St:ate 'sp Fortunately for South Carolina game protection is undertaken at a time when the State has tile benefit of observing the operation of this li cense system as it has operated in oth er States. and can profit by their ex perience with abundant opportunity forimpovig on their systems. There is no need of long and costly experi ment. Outside of what has been done at the North and in the West? many Southern States have adopted the plan of putting a license on hunters. Among these are Florida, Alabamai. Mississippi. Louisiana, Texas, and Arkansas. In these the conditions are fairly similar to the conditions in South Carolina. and in Mississippi ther are almost exac.tly the same. The plan, as proposed by the Audu bon Soeiety of South Carolina. will be cazrried out in this wise. Upon passage of an Act by the General As sembly a number of books will be is sued and sent out to the clerks , of eourt. These books will contain eachI 100 licenses with stubs attached. both being numbered. With each book will go 100 metal'tags in a box. similarly numbered. A -warden will 'be appointed for eaeh county, whose :duty will be to collect these licenses. The license will cost $1.00 and be good for one year. The warden will 'be required to furnish bond to the clerk of court, to be approved by him, 'in the sum of $500. Having taken 'the oath and furnished the required 'bond, the warden will proceed to col lect the license, failure to pay which will be punished by fine of from $10 to $25. or corresponding imprison ~ment. The warden will be compen sated by 25 per cent of what he col leets, or 25 eents on the dollar. This will furnish employment for good men at r'emunerative rate while they -are at work, that is, for several mhonthls in each year. On furnishirn the hunter with his license the war den will also furnish a metal tag tc reorrespond, tacking the tag on the front of the gun stock, the size and shape of the tag being changed eaeli year so that any w.aiden may be abl4 to tell at a. glance whether any tag u: out of date. The money so -collected shall b< transmit ted by the clerk, less such re 'numeration as shall be allowed tha offleer for his work, to the Stat treasurer and placed to the credit o the "'Gamle Protection Fund.'' An. amount over and above what is re quired for tile enforcement of' he la; moay be turned into the school fura hy the Iegislature. out The w *r1 d(ns colcet ing this license its 1re n11 10 onfused with the reg- (il lar wardei force. which is charted Poi with the enforcement of the law. I These regular wardens will be put on enf salary and their expenses paid while fro in discharge of their duty. be If people will reflect on the present ' condition of affairs and what vast and emn permanent benefits are to be derived Au from such conservation of the State's the resources. there can be no doubt that vie, the license will become law and re- fur ceive the support of the people, for in kee the last analysis it is the people who fro are the sufferers under the present I wasteful practice. The whole body giv of the people will be the gainers un- and der the changed order. rep Within a few years South Carolina bly would again be stocked with game and 'l fish and the enormous losses now in- ev flicted on the crops by insect ravages mi. would be cut down, thus adding in an- has other way far greater benefits to the Cal State and its people than any amount mei of game and fish could add. The the plan is thus frankly outlined, for tha there is no reason for .concealing any- chij thing from the people; it is their cause and there is no greater before the people of America. Some time since I had occasion to call attention to the fact, often com- 1 mented on by the world's thinkers, der that here in America democracy is on Ne, trial. and that trial will not be de- o 'c termined by any of the political par- in ties now battling for supremacy. ope The issue is before the court of the of ages, and the answer is 'in the womb the of time. Ju In old times the king, -advised by veD the educated priest, preserved his we( game. his fish and his forests. He s103 had these things with their resulting ry, benefits in great abundance. Never once did royalty let go any of these valued and precious prerogatives un til royalty ceased to have jurisdic- 2 tion. Col Now the people have succeeded in this country. at least, to all the pri vileoes -and prerogatives of royalty. CH They have and may continue to have forever. all that made kingship at- E tractive. The resources of the world's Lv. greatest continent are theirs, "to Ar. have and to hold." As they conserve Lv. these things (use them wisely and not Ar. wastefully), so may they continue to Lv. possess anid enjoy them. But if they Ar. continlue to waste these royal posse- Lv. -ionis. theni the heritage of tile fathlers Ar, will shortly cease to exist, and too Ar. late the people will find that royal Lv. prerogatives may be possessed for any Ar. length of time only by wise foresight Ar. adprudent us. Democracy is,. shdowin 1h issue before ever yparty, twe the ti .'1 one-tmin in every State. Not It i- he hope of the Audubon So- Thi eie"ty ':' meni in charge of. tihe As] State's aff'airs, having devolved on Fri Ithem the solemn responsibility of car- ) ing~ for the State's welfare and of par conlservinlz its resources, may dis- oth chlarge' that responsibility like men. ma' The clamor of the idle, the ,heedless and the vicious, should not be per mitted to obscure this fact. There is not an argument that has ever been framed or that can be framled to justify tihe waste of re soures. One generation has no0 mor al riaht to destroy whlat of right be 'ng' to all generations. It should he the zonbihtion of every mlan to leave tile State in as good condition as he found it, to say tile least. s Wherefore, with two - years' prac tical experience ill an untried field, der thle Audaban Society of South Cara- at lives, e-h" tered by th gnea assem- C bly of io'Si(t. and composed of the S:t ' citizenls. finds that the system of hlunting lieonse. in general use thronghout this and other coun tries. is tile best way to raise revenue for the protection of birds, game and W fishI: thle best way to Soe'roe protection to property; the best way to ensure the perpetuity of the bird, e fish and game supply of the State for a the use of its citizens, and so recoin- Gr mends to the general assembly. A little reflection will show that the society seeks nothing for itself. The money collected does not go to a. the Audubon society, and never can. fr ITile society is supported by its memn hers. and intends to spend every dol- IP. lar it call collect from thlese members fr< inl educating tihe people to tile value to Iof hird life to the world. Ha.ving a serious public duty and p. responsibility laid on it by tile ge?l- fr< eral assembly. it has sought to meas ure un to bothl duty and responsibil- 6. itv. Tile gainer will be thle State. ne 'mnd. thlerefore.
