Bounties Assured to Hunters.

By the time the Legislature ad1ourns
on April 13 all hunters in the State
will be amply assured OF procuring
whatever bounty is due them for kill
ing certain animals.
State Game Commissioner Kalbfus
says that at least half dozen bounty
laws. to his personal knowledge, are
ready for presentation. and he has ev-
cry reason to believe that this number
will be doubled. The State Game Com.
mission will not itself have any of
these laws introduced. but will
thoroughly consider the merits Of zach !;
the best of the lot will then receive
the Endorsement Of the Commission.
IL ia intended to keep the bounties
as they are now-$a per wildcat, 81
per fox, 80 cents each per mink or
weasel. The purpose Of the new law
will be to have the present one en-
forced.
Bounties are now payable by the Com
missioners of each county in the Com
monweatlh, but it has become prsc-
tioe for many of these officials to refuse
to pay, claiming unoonstit1 tionality
of the law. AS the claimants of boun-
ties are for the most part men of ex-
tremely moderate means they cannot
take the case into court.
DIR. Kalbfus says, however, that the
law which will be passed will be
stringent in il, requirement for pay.
ments of bounties and that any refus.
al to pay will be met by prompt suit
by the Commission itself and an ex-
ample made as warning to other
would.be reoalcitrant officials.
The new law will limit the amount
Of money which can be paid per annum
by a single county this section will
be to prevent bounty claiming growing
into an abuse and providing a means
Of Subsistence to men who prefer to
roam the fields rather than engage in
any trade.
1t is desired to limit the amount per
annum to, say, $500 or $500, The State
Is to reimburse each county to the sum
Of one-half the amount paid out in

Bounties are paid by the hunter tax
