LEE SMIITS IN DETROIT TIMEJS. There is one imperative duty facing the 
Conservation Department, the present Legislature and the State Administration.-

to further with all possible speed the acquisition of game cover and f'ishing

waters for the protection of game species and for the perpetuation of the

rights of all citizens to hunt and fish. Every other Conservation issue is

of subordinate importance. 
 
     AUNISING NIEWS -    The move is sure to draw a barrage of condemnatory

 fire from every part of the State but a bond issue appears to be the only

 logical method of solving the problem of saving Michigan's game. 
 
      ISHPEMING IRON ORE. - There is no secret about the way that our 
 forests are being depleted and the game cover gradually reduced *** The

 resolution passed at the Calumet meeting is meeting with favor throughout

 the Upper Peninsula. 
 
      IRONWOOD TIITES. Again the Northern Michigan Sportsmen's Association

comes into the li-m light with the adoption at its recent annual meeting

of a resolution asking the state for a bond issue of $lO,OOO,000, this 
money to be used for the purchase of forest lands which would be set aside

as game refuges *****The proposition is, in our mind, one of the most 
practical we have yct heard for the preservation of our Wild Life and 
Forests. 
 
      IRONWOOD GLOBE.   The Northern Michigan Sportsmen's Association is

alive to the needs of Conservation, particularly as these needs affect the

SJpper Peninsula to which the State must look in the perpetuation of Wild
Life. 
 
     EDWARD A. HYER IN GRAND RAPIDS PRESS. Ten million dollars for 
reforestation is not conservation but is excellent restoration and would

enable us in some regard to restore the balance of nature. 
 
     CHEBOYGAN OBSERVER. It is refreshing and hopeful to listen to or to

read an out and out constructive program ***Proposes that the bond issue

be partly payable by the license fees that are and will be paid. 
 
     IRON RIVER REPORTER. It pays to know what you are talking about and

then to F- able T6t-el-lit to the public in a calm and sensible marnner.

 
     GRAND R&PIDS PRESS - The Press is aware that antipathy exists among

many Michigan people to the bond issue plan ****It is none too sure that

the issue would not prove a positive earner for the state within a short

term instead of a burden ***If there is another way to find the money, 
now is the time. 
 
     NEGAUNEE HERALD. Michigan should have been one of the first 
commonwealths to conserve these natural resources ***The outlay will be 
worth while. 
 
     HOUGHTON MINING GAZETTE.- The time has come when the state must give

thought to the establishment of game refuges and adjacent public shooting

grounds **** A bond issue is needed to put such a policy into effect. 
 
     CRYSTAL FALLS DIAIVMND DRILL. The action of this body is representative

of the Peninsula in general ****It may appear that our sportsmen are 
pronotint  something that is out of the ordinary.   It develops that but

following the best line of thought in States where conservation of timber

and wild life has been a problem much longer than it has in Michigan.
