DEAL OF MYSTERY
About the Administration of the
State Game Laws Of
Illinois.
MUCH MONEY DIsBURsE D
But Only the Commissioners and De-
puties Know What Becomes
Of II.

New game laws enacted by the last
general assembly which went into eff
feet Saturday recall the immense fund
which is collected and spent in their
enforcement each year. Few people
know exactly how this money is spent,
and. as the game commissioners do
not have TO make a detailed account
ing, il is probable that not more than
a half dozen ever will know.
The report of the state auditor for
9O4 shows how the fund was collect
ed. but Jumps the expenditures under
one item-the amount of game pro-
lection warrants issued. According to
this report. the money collected for
the state game protection fund from
December, 1902, until September, 1904,
inclusive. reached the immense total of
$50. 959.47. OF this amount there was
spent, it is recorded, for game pro-
lection, $97,440.S3, almost 10 times as
much as is set aside for state factory
inspection each year.
License Fees Provide Fund.
Hunters licenses provide nearly all
of this immense fund, the sum receiv-
ed from fines, the only other source of
revenue, being only $1,GG4.5S. The
largest amounts received for licenses
were in November and December, 1908,
being S20,19S.99 in the former month
and $23.421.45 in the latter. II is re-
corded in the auditors report that to
\. J. LOvejoy, commissioner, there
was paid for office expenses. travelling
ing expenses. postage and for ''serv-
ices and expenses of game wardens
and deputy game wardens in prosecu-
tons of violations of game laws" the
trifing sum of $79,2O4.04.
John A. Wheeler, also a commission
er, was more modest, drawing only
$15.591.17 for the same items of ex-
pense. Then there follow some minor
items. and the close of the list of ex-
penditures gives probably the best
idea of the magnificent way in which
the affairs of this department of the
state organization is conducted The
closing item is for furniture for the
game commissioners office and the
sum expended for this is $1,G76.7O.
The receipts and disbursements of
the fish wardens office are trifling at
fairs compared TO those of the game
Office.
Department IL Little known.
Outside of the months of February.
1903. and December. 1908, it does not
appear that the game commissioners
We're very active in the prosecution of
offenders unless il CHANGED that a few
Offcnses were committed In the for
mer month there was collected for
fines the sum of $345.22 and in the lat
ter s2S0.66. During one month no fine
was collected at all and in the other
months the amounts of fines range
from $40 to a little over 800.
There is very little known over the
state about the plan by which the game
laws are enforced or the number of
people that are paid to enforce them.
This matter is in the hands of the
game commissioner absolutely and he
has power to employ whom he pleases.
as many as he pleases. and work I'M
der whatever system he elects.
II the new laws are strictly enforc-
ed there Will be considerably more
work for the commissioner and his
