A plague of watermelons is running wild over the ranches in the Imperial valley near Los Angeles, Cal. The vines choke out the wheat, barley and other crops.

Harry T Payne, president of the Cal
ifornia Game and Fish Protective AS
sociation, has submitted to The Call the
following communication in support OF
the scheme TO prohibit the sale of game
within the confines of the State:
Editor Call: In an article on game
laws in your issue of November 16
you say: No doubt something is to
be said in their favor by those who
propose the changes and they should
make themselves heard if they have
aught to say that will bring TO their
aid the public opinion which VIII be
found necessary to pass the law they
propose.
I am pleased to see The Call take
this broad and liberal stand and offer
its columns 10 the discussion of the
subject by those who have given the
question that study necessary to make
their opinions Of value to the public.
Having given the subject the closest
study for the last twenty-five years,
and having spent a large portion of
my time in gathering statistics rela-
tive 10 its value as a resource Of the
commonwealth, its rapid destruction
and the causes thereof, 1 avail myself
Of your kind offer. thanking you for
giving the friends of the game so val
liable a medium for explaining not
only the necessity but the justice of
the proposed changes.
The general public looks upon the
game as vagrant and without owner
ship, or as nothing but a plaything
for that class commonly called sports
men Nothing can be more erroneous
than either of these views, in proof Of
which I will quote from a decision of
the Supreme Court Goa Cal 476).
The court says: The wild game with
in a State belongs to the people in
their collective sovereign capacity. II
is not the subject of private owner
ship except in so far as the people
may elect TO make il so, and they may,
if they see fit absolutely prohibit the
taking Of il or traffic and commerce

quently nothing is taken away from
the individual when he is denied the

the Supreme Court Of the United States
quotes from a decision OF the Supreme
Court Of Minnesota on the sale of game
as follows Which limitations deprivs
no person Of his property. because he
who takes or kills game had no pre-
vious right 70 it, and when he acquires
such right by reducing it TO possession
he does so subject TO such conditions
and limitations as the Legislature has
seen fit to impose.
All these decisions have been rem
dered in establishing the justice and
Legality Of laws prohibiting the sale of
game. I might add a score more, for
these laws have been upheld by the Su-
preme Court Of every State in the In
ion wherever they have been ques-
toned. This part of the subject having
passed beyond argument, let US take up
the expediency Of and reason for these
laws.
