SALE OF DUCKS
Is PROHIBITED
Bill Passed by Senate Forbids Spring
Shooting Also.
ARM0RY MEASURE CARRIES
CORPORATION LEGISLATION WILL
BE SUBMITTED TO SCRUTINY.

Spring shooting and offering ducks,
geese, etc, for sale are prohibited in the
new fish and game bill as it passed the
senate yesterday afternoon. The
measure, Senate BIZ No So by Callister
was amended in committee and further
amended on the floor of the senate
The amendment prohibiting the sale of
| the birds was offered by Park
| The amendment was debated at
length. its friends urging that the real
| menace to the game is not the sports
| man, but the market hunter, while the
opposition contended that persons who
| did not hunt would thus be deprived of
the pleasure of eating the game Thus
the time-honored debate rolled on until
a vote was taken and the amendment
| adopted.
The adoption of the amendment
reached Senator Gardner's bone of
facetiousness. He at once moved to
further amend the section so as to
| make it unlawful for anyone to hunt
the birds with gun There was no
second.
Amendments Are Offered
CIegg tried to reduce the days kill
| from forty to twenty birds, but the
/ amendment failed. Later Clegg Sc
| cured the adoption of an amendment
| raising the license for outside hunters
from $40 to SIS, but he met with failure
| when he attempted to shorten the open
! season by a month. He proposed TO
| make it from Nov. l to Jan. l, but was
| voted down and the bill went through
! with oct. / to Jan. 1 as the open sea-
| son Walton secured the adoption of
an amendment permitting the use of
twO-inch mesh nets in the Bear and
| Sewer lakes, and CalliSter an amend
! ment permitting fish to be taken from
| the Sewer river during the dry sea-
SON" CalIister explained that the
l lfav he rfrNI
referred to that the fish would die
| anyway.
After the bill had been discussed in
! several directions for about an hour
! Bennion moved to strike out the en-
! acting clause He said every leSisla-
| ture had seen fit to pass a fish and
game bill, and he thought it would be
| casting reflections on the intelligence
| of their predecessors for the senate to
! put through a new bill now. He also
/ voiced objections to the clause of the
| bill providing for county wardens on
the ground that it put too much of
] burden on some of the smaller coUn-
/ ties
His motion was defeated and the bill
was then passed by vote Of IL to 4,
as follows:

pecially suspicious of an amendment

/ holders, instead of two-thirds. as now
| provided. to make amendments and
! radical changes in the business and
