More Money For Counties

Deadwood-An effort will be made
by local sportsmen to have the
next legislature amend the law on
hunting licenses SO that counties
may REAP more benefit. Under the
present law OF 81 licenses for residents
of the state, the state gets half the
amount taken in by the county treas
urers and this leaves the counties not
enough to pay the game wardens their
salaries. 1t Is proposed to have the
state take one-third of the fees col
lected, the county getting the rest.

In a statement prepared by Prof Try

Though all the principal national par
