PROTECT MONTANA'S GAME.

The INDEPENDENT during the past
year has frequently called attention to
the criminal and disgraceful failure to
enforce the game laws of this state.
That these laws are openly violated is
very we'll known to all who have had
enough interest to investigate the sub
ject.
The communication in yesterdays
issue states the situation exactly as it
is. The remedy can easily be had if
the next legislature will take the sub
ject in hand and and deal with it earn
estly and energetically. The difficulty
lies not so much in the law for protect
ing game as in the provisions employed
for enforcing it. 1t is palpably absurd
to frame statutes unless they canb be en-
forced, but with the game laws the
means employed for this purpose are
seemingly Ineffective. Montana trout
are slaughtered by the thousands at all
seasons through the use of giant pow
der; irrigation companies refuse to
obey that statute which requires gates
at the mouths of irrigation bitches to
keep the trout in the streams. The re-
suit is that these fish are carried into
the side bitches and are left to die on
the ground. Such criminality is SO
shameful and inexcusable as to cause
the hearty indignation of every good
citizen, whether he is an enthusiastic
sportsman or not. AS Jul correspond
| emit pointed out, there is also an unlaw-
full slaughter of zig game by parties OF
so-called sportsmen who violate the
laws by killing antelope, deer, moose
and elk weeks ahead Of the season. The
way to prevent this is for the legisla-
ture to provide trustworthy officers in
sufficient numbers to enforce the stat.
utes, and we think the taxpayers OF the
state would be entirely willing to stand
the expense. IT a few OF these men who
have so deliberately and openly disre-
garded the game laws could be made tc
answer in court for their offenses the
effect would be most salutary, and there
ought not to be great difficulty ir

Montanians should be grateful fol

1t was a thoughtful provision Of provi

this country and the antiquities ant

from us except for the enjoyment 0
the more fortunate of our citizens. Ir
place OF these we have stream teeminl
with mountain trout and forests popu
lated with the best game. Within cas-,
distance can be found all the requisites
and conditions for keen, healthy enjoy
ment and needed rest from toll. Blu
those conditions will not last unless our
citizens and legislators make a stron!
and determined effort to preserve them
The signs Of disappearance are too ap

THE WEATHER,
"THE instant that natural conditions

"'THE instant that natural conditions,
lawful purposes, and just limitations of
taxation are violated; the instant that
the state takes property from it's citi-
zens that is not needed or takes inequi-
tably that which is needed; that instant
the exercise of the power becomes a
matter of will and might, and not of law
and right. The greatest evils that
characterize free and popular govern,
ments Of to-day are evils that result
from the abuse of taxation, and their
magnitude and tendency to increase are
SO great as to make the boast of indi-
vidual freedom on the part Of citizens in
respect to the full ownership and con,
troll OF their property very often little
more than an ~unmeaning phrase. Shall
these abuses be recognized and toler-
ated, and a tendency to further progress
in this same direction be encouraged, or
shall they be met with stern and un-
compromising protests, immediate check,
and ultimate complete arrest and pre-
vention? These are the real questions
at issue at the present time between the
two great political parties Of this
country, and the situation exemplifies
anew the lesson Of history-that all the
great contests for freedom from the
earliest times have originated in abuses
Of taxation ."-David A. Wells.
