MAY HUNT ANYWHERE.
Nimrods Required to Fake out Only One
License Under the New Law. Says
Assistant Attorney Ganarai

Assistant Attorney General Pleasa ant
has given an opinion on the widely
mooted question as to whether or not
the hunters license issued under the
new game laws is a state or parish
license. Tax collectors throughons
the state have been hitherto at sea re-
lgarding the exact character of this
license. It has been contended that
the hunters license is a parish permit
and the money accruing from It's sale
should be covered into the parish treas
uries. IF this view of the question
obtained; hunters would have to se-
cure a license in each parish which
they entered for hunting purposes.
The opinion of the assistant attorney
general is, however, that it is state
license. The money goes to the state
treasury, and hunters will be per.
mitted to hunt under it all over the
state.
The opinion was given at the request
OF Hon. John Fitzpatrick, tax collector
for the parish OF Orleans. It is con-
tanned in the following letter to that
official:
New Orleans, La Sept 15 1905
Hon. John Fitzpatrick. State Tax Collector. Par
Ish OF Orleans. New Orleans. La
Dear Slr-Y our letter of this In
stant relative to the question as to
whether hunters license, granted
under Act No. 278 of 1908 by the tax
collector OF any particular parish,
would convey the right to the hunter
to hunt in the other parishes of the
state without procuring additionai
licenses for each parish, was promptly
received by me, and, in reply thereto,
| beg to state, in my opinion, one
license would convey such right.
Section 8 of the act speaks of the
license as state hunting license.
Section s provides that it shall be
the duty of the anne and fish wardens
to see that every person hunting in
this state has in his possession q
license, except where a resident hunts
on his own land, thus showing that one
official license shall cover the state.
''Ihere is nothing whatever in the
act which shows that these state hunt.
Ing licenses, issued by any tax col
lector. shall be operative only in the
parish In which they are issued.
''On the contrary, the spirit and con-
text of the act indicates that these
state licenses have state wide applica-
tion.
No power is given to the parish to j
levy, collect or use the moneys de-
rived from these licenses. Said pro-
ceeds are remitted by the various tax
collectors to the auditor of the state
and are disbnrsed on warrants issued
by the state board of commissioners
for the protection of birds, game and
fish, created By the aforementioned |
act. Very truly yours,
The Donaldsonville chief. [volume] (Donaldsonville, La.) 1871-current, 1908-09-19
"R. G. PLEASANT,
Assistant Attorney General. j

The attorney generals Office has re-
ceived from the state auditor requess
for an opinion on other phases OF the
act. The auditor desires to know
particularly whether or not the IL
censes are to be issued for the hunting
season, or are merely like all other
state licenses and expire at the end of
the calendar year. The opinion will
be prepared and forwarded shortly.
