Sulzer Pleads
For Eagle
To Shoot Flag Is Crime But To
Shoot Eagle, National Em
blem, Wins Dollar
“To shoot the flag, a national
1 symbol, is a crime, but to shoot
the American eagle, also a na
tional emblem, is rewarded by a
foliar in Alaska,” writes former
Gov. William Sulzer of New
York, and he wants the Territor
lal legislature at its approaching
session in January to repeal the
eagle bounty law.
The former governor of the Em
pir. state is well-known in the
Territory. He frequently has vis
ited the Territory in the interest
of his mining property in the
| Chandalar district.
Text of Letter
In a lett-r to Jess D. Lander of
Fairbanks, representative in the
legislature from the Fourth Div
ision, the former Governor says:
“It goes without saying that I
and millions of other citizens in
our country were disappointed
•vh:n we found out too late that
Alaska had been excepted from
the provisions of our law to pro
tect and preserve the American
eagle.
“Alaska is the home of the Am
erican ,agle, more so than any
other place in our country. Dur
ing the past few years there has
been a law on the statute books
of Alaska giving a bounty of $1
a head on every eagle killed, and
from the best information I can
get about 700,000 eagles have
been slaughtered since that
bounty law went into effect— a
crime hard for an American citi
zen to visualize. Besides this
bounty mon.y comes out of the
pockets of the taxpayers of Al
! aska.
Denies Predatory Character
“Since my boyhood days I
have made a study of the white
headed or American eagle, from
the Arctic to th_ Gulf of Mexico,
and I can testify from knowledge
in their behalf that they are not
predatory. They live principally
onfish, and then only small fish.
No eagle ever stole a baby, or a
lamb, or a fgwn, or a big fish.
They cannot lift more than
about 2 to 3 pounds and then
they have much difficulty in do
ing that.
“As for the eagles in Alaska de
stroying the salmon, or young
foxes, that is bunk. They never
steal young foxes; but they do
destroy mice and rats, and are
very useful in this regard, be
siles being the emblem of our
country adopted by the Fathers
who formulated our Constitution
To shoot our flag which is only
a symbol, is a crime; but to shoot
the American eagle, our national
1 emblem, is rewarded by a dollar
in Alaska.
“I. and the Audubon Societies
and the Fraternal Order of Eag
les with a membership of over
600,000 have made up our minds
to repeal that Alaska bounty
law. Will you prepare the bill
and introduce it in the next ses
sion of the Alaska Legislature?
Then we will go to work to pass
it before this session adjourns.
Besides, we will do everything
we can to have the President,
the Secretary of the Interior, and
the Governor of Alaska demand
that this iniquitous eagle bounty
law be repealed at the next ses
sion of the Legislature of Alas
ka.”
Current Comments
From Washington
A long time ago, a poet wrote
the words of a song about Ire
land, in w'hich that territory was
described as “the most distressed
country that ever you have seen:
they’r hanging men and women
there for wearing of the green.”
The “they” referred to were the
English.
The cablegrams have it that
th: Emerald Isle is ready to
open its gates to British refug
ees. The war has resulted in a
general drawing of hatchets.
There is refreshment in the news
that here and there one is be
ing buried.
; It took a long w’hile for Eng
»
l3nd and Ireland to become
friends rather than enemies. The
change from friendship to en
mity was almost an ov might
job. so far as England and France
are concern d.
Making allowance for the fact
that the heat is being applied to
Frai/ e, the report that the Nazis
1 are dickering for the French
I navy has an unpleasant sound
! If France is • ntering into the
transaction with the free will
that is necessary to at valid con
tract, her action is an instance of
the basest ingratitude that his
i tory records.
Those on the ground floor seem
sure of the d termination of
(France to save her own pelt at
the expense of her aforetime al£
j The result looked for in connec
tion with the conf rence between
.Marshal Retain and the Fuehrer
is rumored to be a wh Icsale
peace movement against Britain.
This too may be no more than a
canard, of the pure blood parent
, ag which Germany prizes so
highly.
The reason why Germany
| should come to the front, as a
large scale ship purchases, is not
far to seek. The supremacy of
England on the seas is recogniz
ied by all, Germany included.
Italy, n ver overburdened with
! shipping, has lost almost a do
! zen warships.
I The Channel has to be crossed
before Germany can attempt to
repeat what happened on the
plains of France. At present Ger
man m ans for effecting a cross
j ing are inadequate.
j The first draft evader has been
iput away speedily and quietly,
j for a rest of something more
than two years. He is alleged to
hav said in substance that there
i was nothing in the United States
that was worth defending. A jail
term will accomplish good for all
of that css of mind. Th e is
no ocas.on for going in’ the
question as t • whether or t he
avoided the draft.
Mr. Hitler promises a “sur
pr.se to b sprung shortly after
e ection day, and a.leged to be of
vital effect on the people of the
United States. There has been so
much shouting of “wolf, that
h. arers have become somewhat
hardened and skeptical.
Fostered by carefully planned
propaganda, the notion has come
to be widely accepted that Ger
many can do about as she- pleas
es. The qu stion has been assum
ed to be, not what she is cap
able of accomplishing, but what
: she wills to do.
The actual condition of the Fa
therland is a secret which is care
fully guarded. The futui may
disclose that at present she is
living in a house of glass.
Without relaxing vigilance, it
might be a wise plan to cease to
stand in awe, and to recognize
the possibility that many Tueton
ic threats are no more than so
much pure bunk. The Nazi gov
ernment has given itself away,
*o a cc "a:n extent, by an open
re ianc'’ 01 means and measures
which have no utility save to
spread fear.
Th. army soon to be assembled
will be supplied with hostesses,
a calling respectable and useful
elsewhere, and likely to main
tain its honorable reputation un
der new conditions.
The War D partment is in re
ceipt of many letters from wives
and mothers protesting the cre
ation of the hostess’ rank. Maybe
it is the hubby and not the host
ess that is under suspicion, but
there s ems to be some home
fo ks who want to see to it that
in the camps there will be no
chance to “drink to me only with
thine eyes and I will drink with
mine.’’
