The destrnction oi crops by
deer coald be largely prevented
if hunting clubs woald hid Ib
providing feeding places for
them. There sre many camps
having one or atore acres ot
ground surrounding them that
oould be planted to crops tbat
woald attract tba game and keep
them in tbe mountains instead ot
going oat iato tba valley tar forage. Naturally deer would seek
these more secluded places in
preference to goihg oot ioto tbe
open coanty for grazing.
Tbe plan of feeding deer in tbe
mountains is being adopted by
tbe Lycomiag coanty hunting
club and is being done to counteract the effects of tbe bill oow
penidng permitting farmers to
slaughter if they destroy crops.
Many bunting clubs own large
areas ot mountain laud on wbich
many open spots are located thet
could be made produce moth
choice provender tor the game.
The effoit to preserve and feed
game 'should become more
general among sportsmen and
once ii is done the question of the
destruction ot farm crops will
have been largely solved.

President Coolidge signed the

$7500 to $10,000, jest as every-
body supposed be   would.   It  is
indirect opposition to his policy Of
economy, bat be   doubtless knew
that if be disapproved the measure
it would be passed again ovar has
veto, and be is too keen a politi
alee te make enemies needlessly
in this way.   And the blame will
rightfully attach to the House and
Senate, not to the President.

importance whieh are now thrust
upon them.
Tbe right of appeal from the
decision of the lower court would
be granted. One of tbe chief
grounds of attack upon tbe
present system oi minor courts,
is that tha presiding officers aod
the constables attached to them
are paid through fees. The fee
gyatem of remuneration for public
office has often been criticised
and tee tendency of legislation in
Pennsylvania bas beea to do away
with it.
It baa been charged that the
foe system has led to corrupt
practice on the pert ot some
sldermen and justices of the peace
in Pennsylvania, the allegation
beiog that -in order to increase
their fees tbey have encouraged
litigation and have manipulated
the handling of co*es before tbem
iu snch e manner as to increase
the amount of costs due them.
One  of tbe  chief tsrgets ot
such criticise in recent year   has
been tbe   court ot tbe   rural or
smelt town justices ot  tbe peace
eed    his  constable    the reason
beiog  the   operation of  "speed
traps"   It  has been*   frequently
charged that officials of this doss
have    plotted   to    prey   upon
motorists and to  collect heavy
fines and   costs  from them for
violation of traffic regulations.
