Association Makes Appearance.


Association Makes Appearance.
Des Moines, Feb. Ex-senator Lam
bert, by request, has introduced the
bill drawn up at a recent meeting Of
the Iowa Sportsmen's association in
this city. The bill is lengthy and pro-
vides for recodification of the entire
fish and game laws of the state, includ-
ing the repeal of some of the present
statutes. One of the most drastic
changes proposed is the provision for
a hunters license. According to the
bill no person in Iowa under twelve
years of age should be allowed to hunt
and all persons above that age should
be required to take out hunters Ii
cense of 81. 1t also provides for two
closed seasons for game, which is ex-
pected to meet with opposition. The
most important change in the fish laws
is the making of dynamiting a felony
This offense is now misdemeanor
The state fish and game warden is un,
derstood to favor the bill as it stands
