WANTS HUNTERS LICENSE.
Fish and Game Warden Favorable T
Such a Law.


Cedar Rapids. Ia, Jan. George a.
Lincoln of this city, state fish and
game warden, Will leave for Des Moines
in few days. where he will remain
for several weeks, looking after the in
terests of his department, and more es-
neeially to work with the members of
the legislature to secure the passage
of a resident hunters license law. In
all the states surrounding Iowa a law
of this kind has been passed, and there
is a strong sentiment in all parts of the
state favorable to the passage of such
a law here. but the legislature has been
slow to take up the matter. With the
widespread demand of the present time
for such a law. however it is believed
that the matter will be no longer ig-
nored and that its passage will occur
during the coming session.
The work of the state fish and game
department has been greatly retarded
in the past by reason of the fact that
deputy wardens must depend entirely
upon the fees collected for remunera-
ton for their labors. Generally speak
