Items have appeared in the Mem, phis News and perhaps in the Conner cial Appeal recently to the effect that the Dekositt Game Law has been de- clared unconstitutional. Quite num- ter If Arkansas papers, among them the Cross County Democrat, have made similar misleading statements The DeRpsitt Game Law has not been de clared unconstitutional in any particu- lar save one, and that k simply and only as relates to nonresident land owners hunting upon their own property. Other nan-residents are prohibited from hunting or fishing in this S.afe, and al persons and com mon carriers are forbidden 10 take game CT fish from f.ta State IL would seem that our state papers should not make such far-reachine errors.
