Halt Tariff Amendment That
Would Admit Plumage From All
Species Outside America.
Friends of bird protection won a
victory in the Senate when the feath
er provision in the tariff bill was re
ferred to the Finance Committee for
further consideration after that com
mittee had amended it to permit the
admission of feathers of all birds
killed as pests and feathers of game
birds. The provision originally barred
feathers of all wild birds, except os
trich feathers, and feathers of do
mestic poultry
“Inasmuch as practically all hi rdf*
are killed as pests in some parts of
the world, due to ignorance of their
value, and as most birds are like
wise killed as game birds, somewhere
or other, by different races of men.
the passage of *,his amendment would
remove protection from all the birds
of the world which live beyond our
bounds.’’ declares James H. Rice, Jr.,
field agent of the Audubon Society.
“The Audubon Society seeks to
bring about such legislation In all civ
ilized countries u.s will prohibit the
use of feathers taken from any wild
bird as an article of commerce.
Insects’ Toll a Billion.
“The United States loses $1,000,-
000,000 yearly through harmful in
sects, Georgia $40,000,000, and birds
ure the only check to the insects. It
require# 250,000 bushels of insects a
day to feed the birds of Georgia. In
sects are largely migratory. The boll
weevil came from Guatemala; the
cabbage butterfly from the Malay Ar
chipelago; the gypsy moth from Eu-
i ope.
“The destruction of bird life in any
part of the world will affect every
other part, because the insects, if
not checked, will multiply enormous
ly and must migrate for food.
Kill 300,000,000 in Year.
“The objection to the slaughter
yearly of 300,000,000 birds for their
plumage becomes stronger by reason
of the fact that most of the birds
whose plumage is used in commerce
are killed during the nesting season,
when they arc tame and their plum
age has an added luster. Many, like
the snowy heron, known as aigrettes,
have a special nuptial plumage bridal
ciress.
“8o heavy has been the agricultural
loss of the world that every civilized
government has been forced to pass
laws conserving the birdH within their
boundaries.”
DEED DATED 1756 IS FILED;
HANDED DOWN IN FAMILY
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 10 — A deed
that was recently recorded in the Re
corder’s office in iAncaster shows how
old country families cling to ancestral
acres. It was dated November 14, 1756,
and had been handed down In the family
ever since that time, only being now re
corded. It transfers from James King
to his son Vincent 235 acres in Little
Britain township.
Municipality Adopts Charter Plac
ing Responsibility for Affairs
on One Man’s Shoulders.
DAYTON, Aug. 30.—Following the
adoption of the decidedly new form
of city government, Dayton is now
looking about for a competent man
to assume the position of “City Man
ager,” upon whom will devolve the
whole duty of managing the affairs
of the municipality when the charter
becomes operative next January.
In addition to the City Manager, the
charter provides for five commission
ers, but their duties will be purely
legislative.
There is no diffus’on of responsi
bility as seen in the straight commis
sion plan where each commissioner is
in active charge of a department. To
complete the balance of power, the
people are given the right to the ini
tiative, referendum, protest and re
call.
An intergral part of the Dayton
plan of government is the short non
partisan ballot and the elimination of
ward lines. At the same time a long
list of petty offices are taken off the
ballot and made appointive. Under
the new plan the commissioners are
chosen for a four-year term, half of
the body being elected every two
years. This feature of concentrating
responsibility in the hands of a few
men was desperately fought by all of
the old party machines.
The administration of the city is
divided into five departments, the
heads of which are appointed by the
Manager. All remaining city officers
are subject to civil service appoint
ment.
A unique feature is the creation of
a department of socle’ welfare, which,
in addition to supervising the depart
ments of health, parks and play
grounds, must makj inquiries into
the causes of poverty and disease in
the city, and make recommendations
to the legislative body.
The new charter is also unusual in
providing for the complete adminis
trative machinery of the city, de
signed in harmony with the most ad
vanced ideas of city management.
Plans are made for a scientific bud
get, complete auditing of city ac
counts. a modern accounting system,
purchasing agent, standardization of
city supplies, time and service records
and many other advances. These in
novations are the result of investiga
tions made by the Charter Commit)
sion into the government of New
York, Philadelphia end Cincinnati.
The new charter will take effect
January 1, 1914.
The charter is said to be the most
advanced ever adopted by an Ameri
can city. Dayton is the first city of
any size in the country to acquire a
city manager, and the first to com
bine the best features of the old com
mission plan with the manager idea.
