To Reoraanize Huntsville Wards.

Huntsville, January 3.-(Special)-The
Huntsville city council has under con-
sideration the question of rearranging the
wards of the city with the idea of hav-
ing them as near equal in area and popu-
lation as possible. The Fourth, or ''shoe
string ward" was formed when the negro
voters were In the majority here and
powerful enough at any time to dominate
city politics. In the formation of the
Fourth ward, nearly three-quarters of the
outskirts of the town, embracing the
negro residence sections, was taken In
and for many years the ward was rep
resented In the city council by colored
aldermen. The elimination of the negro
vote has remvoed the necessity of keep
ing third ward in the present shape.

ALABAMA BADLY IN
NEED OF GAME LAW
License System Proposed By
GuntersviIIe Man
GAME is STATES PROPERTY
At Least $4,000 a Year Could Be Sc
cured From Licenses, Amply Pro-
vidins for officers to En-
force the Law.
GAME is STATES PROPERTY

Guntersville, January 3.-(Special)-
Among the citizens of North Alabama
who are interested in the proposed law
to protect game in the state is L. s. Long
Mr. Long has the following to say in
favor of the law:
In our next legislature it is very like
ly that we will have game laws enacted.
1t is the duty of every sportsman in
the state to confer with their representa-
tive concerning these laws and have one
passed that will be a benefit and a credit
to the state. Alabama is now about the
only state in the union that does not
protect game, therefore the drain on our
game supply is greater than in any other.
This old state is blessed with good
supply of small game and with good
protection 1t will always be so. Now
is the time to enact stringent laws. Don't
wait until the game is all gone. The
game possessed by this state is worth
millions of dollars. Take into consider
alton our Bob White quail This bird is
found in considerable numbers through
cut the state. The quail as an article
of food is of great value, its flesh being
Juicy and of a delicious flavor. 1t is a
great table luxury and Is well adapted
to the needs of invalids. 1t is of some
value to the farmer though not as great
an insect destroyer as is generally sup
posed.
He is almost exclusively seed eat
ing bird In an examination made by
the department of agriculture SOL stom-
achs of quail, collected during every
month in the year and obtained from
twenty-one different states. it was found
that they eat grain and seeds sc per
cent, various insects about IA per cent.
So it is quite evident that they are not
very valuable as insect destroyers, but
have a great value as an article of food
and as an object of sport.

Benefit of License System.

by effecting the license system the
state will derive great benefit. 1t is now
In effect In more than sixteen different
states and some states collect annually
more than 100000 from the sale of hunt
ers licenses alone. OF course. Alabama
could not hope to do that, but it could
easily collect near $4,000 by selling a
resident license at 70 cents and a nom
resident license at $40. Out of the funds
collected from this source we would have
plenty of money to pay a state game
commissioner, also a warden in each coun-
ty, whose duty would be to see that the
law was enforced.
"By an official report compiled by the
department of agriculture, at Washington,
and by taking into consideration states
only that issue hunters licenses it was
shown that 3 per cent of the entire popula-
ton take out hunters licenses. In some
states it was 10 per sent, some 6, some 5.
The average is 8 per cent. 1t Is safe to
figure Alabama on 3 per cent. The popula-
ton of Alabama being about two millions
and 3 per cent of the people take out
resident hunters licenses at 70 cents each
would give us a fund of $4,000, and sew
eral nonresident licenses at $40 each
would give us about $500. besides large
amount of money collected in fines for
violations of the law.
'This amount would protect the game in
a business like way, and as mentioned
above is a practical proposition as is
shown by its successful operation in sew
eral other states

Should BE Property of State.

THE game at all events should be de-
clared the property of the state and not
the property of the owner of the land that
1t happened to be on, since it is likely
to be on one mans land today and on
another ones land tomorrow. We should
have a bag limit law of twenty-five quails
per day and the open season on these
birds should be from November l to March
l. Dove shooting should be allowed from
July Is to March /.
'These birds are best for food just
about the time they are grown or well
feathered, being of the pigeon family they
get fought and not so good with age. The
shooting of migratory birds, such as
ducks, geese, etc, should be permitted In
October. and snpe as late as April.
1.-THE enactment of laws making it a
misdemeanor to hunt on a mans land
without permission from the land owner
is unjust. Where such Is done it gives
the farmer a complete monopoly of all
hunting, and the city sportsmen, who are
the chief promoters of craftsmanship, are
given a black eye at every turn. Were
1t not for the city people the game on the
farmers place would have no value
"By all means Alabama should not me-
glect the opportunity to create the office
of state game commissioners. 1t is the
only successful and effective way to pro-
tect game. Rave u man 10 look after IL
and see that the laws are obeyed
.'As can be seen from this paper a law
deriving its support of officers from this
source is perfectly elastic, both from
financial stanpoint and point of enforce
ment.
mo true sportsman or lover of hunting
will object to a rs cent resident license.
and if he should he ought to give that
much for the protection of our game
which we can easily have for generations
to come"
