Notes from Field and Study 



How valuable the suggestions of an 

 Audubon member may be to the officers 

 of the National Association in their 

 endeavors to direct their efforts along 

 useful lines is well illustrated in the case 

 of the anti-importation provision in the 

 Tariff Bill now pending in the United 

 States Senate. Dr. Henry Oldys, the 

 well-known lecturer and a member of the 

 District of Columbia Audubon Society, 

 wrote the Secretary a long letter last 

 December in which he called attention to 

 the fact that the Tariff Act would shortly 

 be revised, and urged that the Associa- 

 tion seek to have inserted in one of the 

 schedules a measure to prohibit the 

 importation of feathers. Seeing at once 

 the possibilities that lay in such a proposi- 

 tion, the matter was quickly taken up 

 with the result that a hearing was granted 

 by the Ways and Means Committee of 

 the House of Representatives late in 

 January. Since the inception of the plan, 

 no one has worked harder for its success 

 than has Dr. Oldys. 



A bill to establish a State Game Warden 

 system, supported by a hunter's license 

 tax, was recently enacted by the Legis- 

 lature of Florida just prior to its adjourn- 

 ment. The law, which was drafted by 

 Hon. John H. Wallace, State Game War- 

 den of Alabama, closely follows the 

 Alabama law, which has proven so accept- 

 able to the people of that commonwealth. 

 While the bill was pending, Miss Katharine 

 H. Stuart of Virginia, who had been 

 lecturing over the state under the auspices 

 of the State Audubon Society, visited 

 Tallahassee and, in company with Mr. 

 Wallace, who arrived the same day, 

 addressed a joint session of the two 

 houses of the Legislature on the merits
