PUBLIC FISHING LIGHTS.
There II a General Belief That the
Game Of a Country Belongs
20 the People.

There has been yer, interesting
Question brought 40 In Colorado with
regard 10 N. rights Of a person 20
hhh In streams stocked by the state.
and Il II claimed by Mr. Melville. a
lawyer. that the constitution afirms
the public owncrship Of the water OF
The natural streams OF the state and
that the legislature has publicly az.
armed the public ownership Of the Ash
Ia the state. From early times until
the present. writes Dan Beard. In Rec.
reation. legislatures have appropriated
large sums Of public funds for the pur
pose Of stocking these waters with the
choicest OF FISH. The members OF the
legislature appropriating such funds
believe that the public has a right 10
20 into and upon such streams and
have the pleasure and profit OF such
Ash from such a stream.
This seems 10 be good. sound. natur.
al law, and accords with Recreattion's
politics. for Recreation has always
claimed that the game OF a country be-
longed 10 the people Of the country and
not TO the landlords The landlords do
not create game. The landlords only
right TO the use OF the land comes from
the public consent, inasmuch as be
could have no possible valid title orig.
mating from any other source. conse-
quently he can only own the right to
thetuse OF the land which the public
agrees shall be under his control. aad
as the public has never consented or
agreed that the game or fish should Ne
the private property OF the landlord. I.
is evident that he has no natural. lie.
gal, moral or ethical right to the cams
as a landlord, but only a general right
as one individual of the public which
owns the game and fish OF the cous-
try.
