A New Game Law.

~ ENDING in the Montana house of
representatives is bill provid-
ing for the better protection of
,tish and game. 1t was introduced at
.the request of sportsmen. The princi-
pal feature is the requirement of
hicense for hunting and fishing, the
eanoney to be derived from the licenses
ITO be used for the protection of game
and the propagation of fish. The per-
fanits are to be issued by county audi
Etors, one dollar being required for per-
omission to hunt small game one sea-
son and five dollars for big game,
sNon-residents of Montana must pay re-
spectively five and ten dollars The
open season for all birds will begin
September l and quail and Chinese
pheasants are to be protected for five
years. ~tE* Fg& ElE"
Naturally there will be a great deal
pf objection at first to the paying of
license, but if the matter is properly
considered all opposition should disap-
pear Eastern and foreign sportsmen
Kill the greater share of Montana's big
eft or revenue therefrom. The saugh-
aer for sport only grows greater year by
year and it must be expected that be-
fore many years game will be as scarce
as the buffalos have become To pre-
went the determination of the game
there must be a proper enforcement of
the game laws. This cannot be done
without money, and the licenses will
bring in the revenue required for this
purpose. There is a provision in the
present law limiting the number of
deer and elk that can be killed in one
season by a single sportsman, but the
law is constantly violated. 1t is pro-
posed to have special wardens in all
the game districts who will be paid
from the game fund ten dollars for
each conviction for violating the game
