THE present law with regard to deputy
nsh commissioners Is entirely wrong. With
present conditions prevailing. instead Of
three deputies serving fifty days annually.
as under the present law, the fish commits
sioner should have one deputy, who can
serve the year round. and sufficient expense

tenn n deputy'S work Is not much more
he !raa all sd n i'm
ia used up. and much information gained
In the few days OF his employment liz lost
on account of his inability. IN SO short
period, 10 cover any amount OF territory
more than once. Many violations OF the
law require two and sometimes three and
four trips to certain locality to obtain
a conviction, and for the proper enforce
ment Of the law. This cannot be- done
under the present system. and therefore
we advise that II the present conditions
are To prevail and the amount of labor
required OF the commissioner and his
deputies Is not Increased. that he he al
lowed one deputy. who shall put In his full
time In the service OF the department.
This change coupled with another that we
have advised In another portion OF this
report vii! enable this department TO prop
erly handle all the work at the present
time demanded OF Us.
''fhe present system OF special deputy
fish commissioners Is entirely wrong No
man should be compelled TO receive part
Of any fine as payment for his labor In
enforcing the Law. We believe that the
law providing for special deputy FISH COM
misaioners should be repealed and instead
a law providing that the different county
game wardens be special deputy fish com
fnissioners enacted. Under the present
law the differAt game wardens may re-
ceive a sfnailVsaiary from the different
counties in which they are appointed. IL
this office and that of the special deputy
fish commissioners were combined undoubt-
edly excellent results would lie returned.
We have also In another portion of this re-
port advised that the fish commissioner be
made game warden OF the state. and have
control of the enforcement of the game
laws. if Ibis were done. and our recon-
mendations with regard to deputy game
wardens and special deputy fsh commits
sioners carried out. the combination would
undoubtedly produce vastly better results
than are obtainsd at the present time"
