There are some who 'make a how
about the game wardens, as though
they we're an expense to the tax payers
of the state. Such talk is foolish and
shows ignorance of the facts in the
case. The present game warden
system was organized under Governor
Scofield's administration and during
his term the department paid into the
state treasury little over S149, while
under the La Toilette administrations
which is blamed for everything that
can be thought of in the name of
game wardenS-the state has received
over $4,000. This has come, not
from taxes to maintain the depart
ment, but from the sale of cOnfiScated
game. The expense of the depart
ment is paid solely by the hunters who
are glad to pay their 81 apiece for an
annual license, because of the better
hunting resulting from Wisconsin's
system OF game protection. II the
revenues of the game warden's de-
partment are more each each year, it
shows that more hunters are taking
out licenses as required by law
