gagged in particular case. He could
not be classed as a state or a district
officer. He was 10th TO pass a bill over
the governors veto, but would vote to
pass the bill, because it would save the
state several thousands of dollars. He
could see no reasoning in Candland's
argument. Even at Beaver, where the
fees amount only to 5000 and $500 per
year, good stenographers were in de-
mand.
The veto was overridden. Ayes-Al-

FISH AND GAME.
H B. No. SO, the fish and game bill,
came up on a motion to suspend all
rules and pass reading the same and
place it on its final passage, made by
Mr.. Cannon. which failed. The bill
was then read second time.
Mr.. Warner moved an amendment to
the section forbidding the use of lime,
dynamite or other explosives or drugs,
by making the offense a felony, which
carried, all voting aye.
Mr.. Cannon then moved a suspension
of the rules and the placing of the bill
on its passage, which prevailed.
Mr. Warner moved an amendment
providing that the state warden shall
receive no compensation. which motion
was the basis of some caustic COM
ment on the part of Mr.. Cannon.
Evans supported the motion.
Candland averred that the state
commissioner hitherto had received no
compensation.
J Warmers amendment failed to carry
Warner then moved that the pay of
county fish and game wardens be
drawn from the treasury of the state.
! Cannon objected.
Warner said senators had main
| tanned that the lakes and fish were
state property 1t appeared when the
sportsmen go fishing the lakes and
/ fish were state property, but when ex-
! penses were necessary, then the coun-
/ ty had jurisdiction. 1t would be better
/ for men to live miles away from the
lake. He would then have the benefit
of the fishing without expense.
Mr.. Evans maintained that the
]
and justice Utah county has no more
to do with the lake than Washington
or Cache, and yet the people are asked
to foot the bills for the enforcement
of rules laid down by the state. If the
state fixes the time when a man may
| fish and the number he may catch,
then the state should foot the bills
incurred in compelling him to obey
the rules and regulations. The speaker
road a letter showing that the rrice
1 of bass at the lake was 10 cents per
pound and 12k fancy. 1t was the
/ Salt Lake merchant who made the
! large profits. and senators who COM
plain of high prices should go after
their home dealers. Fish are becom-
ing so plentiful that protection is not
so badly needed as 1t was some time
40.
Mr.. Cannon called attention to the
fact that the state had to supply the
fish
warmers amendment failed. Ayes, 4;
nays. 10.
Warner then moved to strike out sec
ton and insert The sheriff and his
deputies in each county shall be ex-
officio county fish and game wardens. =
The motion failed.
Mr.. Evans moved to make the open
season for ducks and geese end the
1st OF April instead of March, which
prevailed.
Mr.. Evans moved to reconsider the
vote on the adoption of section Ia, the
provision prohibiting the sale of trout
for three years, which prevailed. The
report of the committee striking out
| section Ii was then adopted.
