moose meat. Therefore the natives
kill, paying little, if any, attention to
whether it is closed or open season.
“Eight years ago, when the govern
ment railroad was being built from r
Seward to Anchorage, moose were,
plentiful in the upper Kenai Lake
country. The route of the railroad was
through the heart of the moose pas
tures. To-day one has to go twenty
five miles back from the railroad to
see moose. Lt has been estimated by
a man in close touch with the wild
life in the Kenai country that the
moose have decreased at least 80 per
cent in this section in the last ten
'years.”
The other enemy of the Kenai
moose is, strange as it may sound,:
the rabbit.
These animals multiply in great num-,
bers by cycles of seven years or so,;
when an epidemic of disease all but,
exterminates them. They are just now J
at the peak of their productivity, and j
because they feed on the same food i
as the moose—willows, beech twigs, j
and leaves alder bush, aquatic plants
etc.—they are bringing famine to the j
['moose. To quote further:
1 “In the winter the moose feed in
the old burns and open places, dig
ging into the snow for food, if neces
sary. Last winter the rabbits had so
reduced their winter feed that I found
many calves dead of starvation. From
; my own observation and reports made
to me by others, I estimate that at
least 50 per cent of last year’s moose
calves perished in the snow from
starvation.
“This winter the situation will be
even more critical, for the extermi
nating epidemic of the rabbits has not
yet begun. Another enormous death
■ toll, therefore faces the Alaskan
moose, especially the young ones. One
thing only can save them, and that is
man
“This may sound like a gigantic or
impractical task. In fact, it is a very
simple and inexpensive one. Eight
or ten men, properly placed through
out the winter range of the Kenai
moose, eould supply most of the herds
with food by cutting down birch trees,
which have no commercial value. Un
der extreme hunger moose soon aban
don their fear of man and congregate
about the sources of food supply. A
sum of three thousand or thirty-five
hundred dollars would employ the,
men needed, since feeding will be nec
essary only during February and the
month of March, possibly some of
April. It would not have to be repeat
ed until seven years hence, and then
only if the rabbits become as numer
ous as at present. What an insignifi
cant expenditure and an insignificant
effort to save thousands of America’s
finest of wild animals from the silent
and unseen agonies of winter starva
tion!
“Congress appropriated just $20,000
for game administration and protec
tion in all Alaska during 1923—a sum
insignificant even for warden service.
There is therefore no hope from that
source for the coming winter. The
money must be raised quickly by in
dividuals and organizations interested
in wild life conservation.
“But this winter’s feeding is only
incidental to preserving these ani
mals. What the situation demands,
and what all real sportsmen of the
United States should demand, is a
fearless and efficient enforcement of
the game laws by the territorial gov
ernment and an appropriation by the
Congress at Washington sufficient to
make that enforcement possible. We
sportsmet and lovers of wild life want
game laws for game protection and
not for political jugglery.”

You would throw up your hands in
holy horror, if anyone suggested that you
swipe a bench from a school building or pilfer
a single page from a book of the school’s library.
But—are your dealings in public school
affairs as honest as you think they are—or perhaps
would like to have others suppose them to be?
They are not—absolutely net—if you are spend
ing your money for mail order merchandise. You can’t send
a cent of cash out of town for goods that can he bought in town
and support to the greatest possible extent the public schools.
Every brick in the schools—every book in
the schools’ libraries must be purchased with
school “taxes.” The size of the taxation depends
on the wealth of the community. And the wealth is governed
largely by the earning capacity of the people who live in the
Community.
Money sent away from home doesn’t pay
for one minute of home town “labor.” It doesn’t
fill the dinner pail of a single local worker. It
doesn’t enrich home dealers. It doesn’t by one word broaden
the knowledge of the children of this town—add to the
attractiveness or comfort of school days.
Money spent with local merchants travels in a
circle. It doesn’t go out of circulation when rung up on the
dealer’s cash register—as do mail order dollars when you slip
them into the mail box. The dealer spends it here. It pays the
help back of the counter, who spend it in town for goods they
Use. It assists them in purchasing homes—that can be “taxed.”
It goes into more merchandise—and that merchandise is
'taxed.” And it is on taxation, remember, that your
public schools depend.
