Show r, THE CITIZEN 10 its readers a broad general understanding of world affairs. As an international daily newspaper founded to injure no man, but to the Christian bless all mankind, Science Monitor is striving to interpret to all nations what is best in the To this end it maintains numerous bureaus and departments both at home and abroad, together with a large staff of special life and opinions of each. correspondents and political and critical writers, in all of the principal cities of the United States and throughout the world. London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Moscow, Vienna, Tokyo, Pekin, Tientsin, Melbourne and each has its resident correspondent. tls news carefully gathered, selected and written by men and women thoroughly trained to the Monitors viewpoint as to clean and authentic journalism, must of necessity be instructive and uplifting, and is often-tim- e unobtainable by other newspapers. The bulk of its news never appears in print elsewhere, except as it may be copied from the Monitors Ot-to- wa columns. In speaking of the Monitors policy, a writer has said, Having no political affiliations, and being burdened by no financial or commercial ties the Monitor is free to give an accurate report of a meeting, an impartial account of an event, and to present all sides of a case. It opens its columns to investigators that have for their object ridding the world of evils, such as opium or liquor, the abolition of slavery, the removal of restrictions on subject peoples, and lowering of the bars that separate one race from another. The effect of the Monitors effort in carrying out its purpose may well be judged in the worlds attitude towards its Peace Plan which has now been accepted by people and organizations representing all walks of life, and is now being carefully considered by numerous government. Its fearless and unswerving stand in support of the Eighteenth Amendment to our Constitution is winning for the Monitor the respect and support of countless thousands throughout the world. The accurate and valuable information on this subject that is being broadcasted to the whole world through its columns is furnishing peoples and nations with ammunition that will one day provide a nucleus for world-wid- e reform along this line. Its news regarding the League of Nations, Locarno, Peking and Geneva Conferences and the World Court is most accurate and enlightening. Information found through a recent survey of the Monitors issues for 30 days will serve to show the volume of news obtainable through its columns. During this period there appeared 428 special correspondent and cable articles from 75 different countries, secured and furnished by its own representatives, all having to do with foreign governmental activities or world politics. These articles, most of which will never appear in print elsewhere, were in addition to the many items furnished by Associated Press and other agencies. There were also 92 Editorials covering political mat ters of current importance, both domestic and foreign. These editorials, always judicial and tolerant, are never partisan. They are written in a manner to lead the reader to think over the subject for himself. The Monitor has its convictions and there is perhaps no newspaper more outspoken on most moral and national issues. As more and more people turn to the Christian Science Monitor for their source of general and specific information about domestic and foreign affairs of importance, as so many of the worlds most intellectual men and women are now doing, there will be found less apathy expressed toward civic affairs, and politics will come to be more generally recognized in its true sense as the science of government. There will then be more of the better class of men and women managing governmental affairs in all nations, and world politics will have received an impetus, powerful and capable, for the eventual end of wars and the equitable adjustment of whatever is wrong in commercial, political, and moral practices. ALLEGED EXORBITANT TAX IS INCREASED TEN FOLD. It is surely amusing to see how some politicians wiggle around a worthy cause and finally through public opinion are forced into line. In two efforts made by the sportsmen of the United States to secure favorable portection for our migratory birds, the acquisition of breeding grounds and the setting aside or certain localities for rest lakes and feeding grounds, they were defeated for no good reason at all. The last time the migratory bill was up before congress, we found Utah at the head of a movement, supported through some reason, with several western states in line against this proposed worthy legislation. Those who fought the bill In Utah, and the writer says to our disgrace and shame, gave as their reasons that it was an outrage to charge duck hunters $1 per year to shoot. Our daily papers carried long stories and these stories were severely criticised uy sporismen all over the country, but why worry what the other fellow thinks aoout us. There were .those in this state that did not like to see the federal government take over wholly the duck jurisdiction. Their howl was, "What will the poor farmers do if they have to pay $1 to shoot ducks? Just think what an outrage that would be. What did the government promise to do for this $1 per year which a few selfish persons so strenuously object to? The government promised to set aside all slough lands for duck preserves; it also agreed to purchase much water soaked land ana sioughs for duck breeding grounds, and in every way it proposed to materially increase duck hunting lands all over the country. It also proposed to plant duck feed on all the public shooting grounds. If all this is not worth a one dollar bill to any sportsman, then he should lay aside his field gun and return to the flipper and shoot sparrows on the main streets of the town. Our fish and game commissioner who made such a howl about the $1 government license to shoot, now steps to the front with a proposition to keep the 10 per cent excise tax on guns and ammunition and advocates that this money be diverted to a government fund to create duck preserves for which the sportsmen of this country have been fighting for for the past ten years. Today the government expects to decrease all federal taxes, but Madsen does not favor any decrease on guns and ammunition. He would hold the tax on this in lieu of paying $1 shooting and hunting tax. Some shooters would pays as high as $100 a year and over. Trapshooters would be the hardest hit of all, and this license would become perpetual on guns and ammunition. The alleged poor farmer boy who purchased a cheap gun which would cost not less than $25 at our present prices, would pay $2.50 in special taxes for the privilege of purchasing the gun. If he did any hunting at all he would purchase at least 500 rounds of shotgun shells, which at our present prices would cost not less than $25, and here again this tax would be another $2.50, a considerable sum above the $1 tax first asked for. Surely, when this bill comes up in Congress and our representatives in Washington see that the sportsmen refused to back a bill which called for an annual fee of $1 for hunting, but, are now willing to pay a perpetual excise tax from $10 to $100 a year, they will begin to wonder whats the matter with some of our western sportsmen who howled about the exorbitant $1 tax. It is just such transactions as this that makes politics ridiculous. The sportsmen and the automobile owners are lambs which the politicians are working to the limit, but it is just as P. T. Barnum said, the more you fake the people the better they like it. The protection of our ducks k. been delayed to a critical time. twenty years ago the writer called tention to the methods used in ing our ducks and at that time gested national legislation. HoweS ducks were so plentiful at that that the average sportsman looked on concerted protection as a lL joke. There are billions of diyfo they said, and they were of the opfa ion that we would always have billfa of ducks. But go out today and Sir to get your limit, yes, or even a en ducks, and how many return them? You will find that but j hunters are getting ducks.
