around town. Judge Cam will be called
upon to decide fine points on game laws.
Mr.. Bedding does not issue TO the hunting
and fishing classes long and bombasuc
proclamation. In fact. he Is modest to
the extreme.
II shall 40 my best to enforce the game
laws as find Them" said Mr.. Bedding
in conversation with me yesterday Il
have no friends to favor or enemies to
bother In my position as warden. 1t Will
make no difference to me where the ak
falls In the enforcement Of the law.
80 much has been printed and so much
said about tho different open seasons. that
do not think 1t necessary to call spe-
cial attention to the laws as whole.
People who are doing wrong in killing
game, or trout, cannot plead ignorance
before the law. There may be one case In
a thousand where q game law Is violated
fundamentally. but this Is an exception,
not the rule.
II do not desire to work hardship
ON any body. The game laws are on the
books. and ought to be observed. II they
are not good laws, then public sentiment
will bring about their repeal. AS game
warden l have nothing to do with the
right or wrong Of law. That is mat
ter which the courts can settle. am not
supposed to bother my head about the
constitutionalfty OF legislative acts.
II know that there are points to be
raised but the violators of the laws. as
they now stand. will have to raise them.
not 1. l think that what few defects there
are will be remedied in the near future.
and that the state will have reasonable
and equitable game law.
THE question Of passing an act which
will require the payment of license on
guns is one that have nothing to say
about at present. 1t may come up for
consideration In the future
II hope that other counties will appoint
game wardens. The quicker this action
Is taken and the stricter the laws are
enforced so much the better 1t viii be for
all. am satisfied that many people
violate the game laws simply because
they know that violation Is SO common
4 they profit nothing by the existence Of the
laws. For instance. the grouse season
opens August is. so far a. tho law Is
concerned but 1t is a notorious fact that
score OF guns are turned loose on the
birds fully two weeks ahead of time. A
man who really desires to obey the law
finds himself In q dilemma: II he obeys
the law the birds will be killed on before
he gets a chance at them. He does not
like to be left entirely, and 80 he goes out
and commences to shoot also.
II do not think that It will be difn-
cult matter to stop violations of the law
II the matter Is pushed, and the courts
sustain the officers. Let the hunters know
that there is force behind the movement
to stop this slaughter OF game and Nthey
will soon fall into line"
