BY WHAT BEST TO
DODGE CITY, Kas., March 9. (AP)
A threat of secession came from
western Kansas today all because of
a hungry horde of crop eating Jack
rabbits. The threat wasn't very serious, of
course, but It was suggested as a
sort of warning to eastern Kansas
and its club women and game warden
protests against plans of farmers to
hold the "biggest hunt ever staged"
In western Kansaa Sunday.
It's cruel, brutal and unsports
manlike," protestants cried as an
army of 10,000 farmers and sympa
thetic townspeople gathered up base
ball bats, axe handles and anything
that might be used for a club In the
big hunt.
Hunt leaders plan to cover 40.000
acres In Barton and Stafford counties.
They expect to round up between 50,
000 and 76,000 rabbits, herd them
Into pens and club them to death.
EaBtm protests have served to
arouse the plainsmen. As for club
bing them to death, the westerner
thinks there Is little to choose be
tween belngiplugged by a bullet and
slugged over the head. The clubbing
method Is less expensive and much
safer for the hunters.
Defending the hunts, the Ooodland
Dally News hints that a little seces
sion talk might aoften the protests.

The document comprising the blast
against Hitler's creed constitutes the
most outspoken organized attack
since her fuehrer's rise to power.
The congressional synod of Prus

datory upon all adhering pastors to
read It from their pulpits either to
morrow, or if a copy should not
reach them In -time, on one of the
ensuing Sundays.
On presenting the document each
pastor Is to explain that no attack
upon the state Is Intended, but that
the church Is charged with the duty
of saving souls, and must make this
last attempt to save the state from
development which Is bound to lead
straight to the ruination of the

AUTOMLPERILS
INSURANCE RATES
The all-time record of more than
1 .000,000 traffic injuries and 33.
500 fatalities established In the
United States In 1934 threatens a
further rise In automobile accident
and liability Insurance rates, accord
ing to Dr. E. B. McDanlel, president
of the Oregon State Motor associa
tion. Mr. McDanlel, whose organization
is sponsoring the "Let's Quit Killing"
safety campaign In Oregon, said latest
reports reveal that traffic deaths ac
counted for more than one-third of
the entire 1034 accident death total,
and were more than twice as large
as the total of occupational fatali
ties. Automobile Insurance rates already
are at almost prohibitive levels in
many localities, he declared, but even
with these high premiums many
companies have lost heavily on their
aggregate coverages.
"The situation is serious from the
standpoint of both the motorists and
the Insurance companies. Many con
cerns have lost so heavily from
underwriting auto Insurance that
they have been forced to go out of
business, merge with a stronger in
stitution or to cease altogether tak
lng this form of Insurance.
"Unless there is a definite reversal
In the upward trend of auto fatali
ties, motorists may soon find that
automobile Insurance is Impossible
to obtain, or obtainable only at rates
so high as to make a policy economi
cally inadvisable.
Adoption of safety responsibility
laws In Oregon and throughout the
country Is one of the most Import
ant steps that should be taken to
prevent further Increases In auto In
surance rates. Statea with safety re
sponsibility laws have made much
better safety records than those not
having such a statute, and eventu
ally good safety records are reflected
in the Insurance rates charged the
motorist."
A new non-combustible motor, de
signed especially for the boats of a
coast guard unit engaged In chasing
liquor smugglers, has been tried out
successfully under the supervision of
a government committee. The motors
are of the low-pressure naphtha va
riety, requiring no carburetor.
