The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1911-04-26

Two important changes were made
by the recent legislature in the Min.
nesota game and fish laws and H. A
Rider of the game and fish commits.
sion wishes the Pioneer to call the
attention of it's readers to them. The
first one is that it is now necessary
for hunters to take out two licenses
one for small game and one for large
game. The big game licenses must
be procured three days prior to the
opening of the season on November
7. This same law cuts down the
number of deer to one for each hunt
err. The other change in the law re-
quires non-residents to take out a
license to fish with hook and line.
! This law reads as follows:
Section 1. Every person over the
age of 21 years, not resident of the
State of Minnesota, is prohibited from
fishing with hook and line in any
| waters of this state without first hav-
! ing secured license therefor, from
the game and fish commission, from
a county auditor, or from a local
game warden. The fee for such Ii
cense shall be $1.0O.
Section 2. The county auditor
shall, upon application, issue to per-
sons applying therefor, under his
seal, upon blanks to be furnished him
by the game and fish commission, up
on the payment of the fee of $1.OO a
license for such fishing which shall
expire at the close of the fishing sea-
son of the year in which the license
is issued Ten cents of the amount
| received for the issuance of said IL
cense shall be retained by the county
auditor as his fee, and the balance re-
mtted to the state treasurer month
ly, who shall credit the same to the
game and fish commission fund to be
used for the purpose of enforcing the
game and fish laws of Minnesota.
Section 3. When a license is is
sued by a deputy game warden, the
| full amount of the license fee shall
be promptly RENTED to the state
treasurer and credited as above pro-
| vided, as shall also all moneys paid
to the game and fish commission for
licenses so issued by it.
Section 4. Any person violating
the provisions of this section shall be
guilty of a misdemeanor and upon
conviction shall be punished by a
fine of not less than one CD dollar
nor more than five 60 dollars for
every fish so taken.
Approved April 49,, 1911.
The Minneapolis Tribune, in an edi-
that the boys at Red Wing have moth
ing else to do but run away. A few
days ago twelve inmates escaped but
were later captured. The Tribune
says:
mo wonder the boys at Red Wing
run away. There is nothing else
Tor them to do. The legislature re-
fuses them relief, after a full expos
ure of barbaric conditions. The
board of control will do nothing for
them. Even the governor fails them
Probably their lives have been made
more than ever hell since the legis-
lature adjourned.
That would be the natural re-
venge Of men capable of the things
sworn to and confessed in the in
quiry. 1t makes one shiver to think
what will happen to the poor devils
caught and brought back. Let us
hope the people of the country will
help them get away to the open road
That is a dismal end of the reform
effort on which the state has spent
so much money and pains, but it is
better to become hoboes than to be
made brutes. -.
''In all calmness and gravity, the
exposures of the legislative investi.
cation have made the Red Wing
school for boys impossible under the
present management. Whatever the
high merits and pure intentions OF
the superintendent and his assistants
their standards and ideals unfit them
for responsible authority in a place
for the reform of unhardened crimi-
nails.
