George A. Lincoln, OF Cedar Rapids,
state fish and game warden, is MAX
ing determined effort to impress
members of the Thirty second general
assembly with the necessity of enacting
a resident hunters license law. Such a
bill was presented in the last legisla-
ture but it failed of passage presumably
because it was misunderstood. The
chief and essential feature of the bill,
which will be again introduced this
winter, is that 1t puts a license of 81
a year on each man who would hunt.
BY this license system not only the
game but the hunter and land owner
would be better protected. The annual
fund would make the fish and game de-
partment Of the state self-suStaining;
would prevent much of the indiscrim
mate packing" of guns by boys and
unreliable persons and would make the
work of the deputy game wardens more
thorough because they would be paid
for it. Considered from all view points
the law is a most admirable and need
ed one and the legislature which con-
venes soon should see that 1t is pass
ed.
Practically all of the western states.
Illinois. Wisconsin. Indiana, Missouri,
Minnesota, Idaho, Michigan, Colo
RADIO, Washington, Nebraska North and
South Dakota and Wyoming have such
a law with the licenses ranging from
$3.50 to rs cents. BY this law Illinois
receives annually 100000 for the pro-
lection of its game, and even South
Dakota, with a very much smaller,
population gets $4,000 for the same
purpose. while Iowa receives not one
cent. The legislature should get in line
and place Iowa on an equal footing
with other states.

Denatured foot ball, as played at
University of Wisconsin last season,
netted loss OF $65.73 to the university.
The extent of the change from former
seasons can be appreciated when 1t is
recalled that the net profits in former
seasons have mounted as high as $780,
900, not accounting for the alleged
graft" that used to exist in the grid
iron department Of university athlet-
ics. The total receipts last season were
$4,3S6.20. The aggregate expenditures
were $4,451.93. The heaviest receipts
came from the Illinois game, played
at Urbana, $1,773.30. Purdue was next
with $664.S5.
