GAME AND FISH LAWS


Gov. Dawson, recognizing the fact
that our game and fish laws are a
tumble OF inharmonius and inconsist-
ent provision, a patch work, put to-
gether at various times and that the
only way to get an intelligent and eff
fective statue Is to wipe it all out
and write new one, short. clear and
concise, is considering the question
of appointing a commission for the
purpose of preparing and drafting a
new law looking to that end. He is
doubtless led to do so because OF the
success which attended the appoint
ment of his commission to revise the
school law.
Hon. John ]. CornweH was asked
by the governor to accept the chair
manship of the commission. but found
it necessary to decline because he
could not give the time to the work.
