GEORGEA;S GAME Law.

The game protection law is one of the most useful
measures ever enacted by the legislatures and there
is reason believe too, that it is of the most
popular Certainly it has found keen response
among the true sporsmen of the state evidenced
by the meeting of the Georgia Game Protective Asso
citation held this week in Atlanta
This convention, while called primarily for the
members of the association opened to every one
interested in the important work of conserving game
resources The sessions have been well attended and
have brought to light many valuable facts concern
ing the practical operation of the new law; these
facts in turn have pointed the way to several con-
structive amendments whereby the statute may be
made more serviceable and effective.
1t has been proposed for instance, that all surplus
funds accruing from the sale Of game licenses and
from fines be applied to the propagation of fish and
birds
Whether the point has vet been reached where
there is any such surplus is question; own
mise would be that for the immediate present all in
coming funds are required to defray the actual ex-
penses of the state game department. 1t is likely,
however, that there will be time when a surplus
will remain, in which event it could be put to no
wiser than that proposed Many European gov
ernments and not few American states have ap-
propriated liberal to the increase of birds and
fish, Georgia will do well to follow their example
when the opportunity arises
1t has also been suggested that severer penalty
be established to prevent the pollution of streams
with substances harmful to fish. A more practical
method of remunerating the deputy game wardens
has been pointed out. These and other timely sug-
gestions will doubtless be considered by the proper
House and Senate committees and presented to the
legislature.
The most gratifying circumstance of the conven-
ton is that has heartily Endorsed the general scope
and workings of the present law. Within the first
year of its operation the statute has rendered
vital and farreaching service. 1t has been consist
emily enforced and has amply justified itself before
the people.

dred and fifteen thousand dollars allotted to road
building.
Virginia voted over two millions to the same pur-
pose
Maryland followed with more than million and
half
Tennessee is credited with some three millions
North Carolina contributed nearly eight hundred
thousand and Mississippi over six hundred thousand
Of the total amount
Georga's progress in road building is shown by
the fact that during the past years she has led
the entire Union, with the one exception of New
York. in the number of miles of highways
structed; and during the past year of coun-
ties have voted substantial bond issues for further
ing the good work in their particular districts.
The time has evidently come when any state in
order to keep pace with the march of national de-
velopment, must swing heartily into the good roads
movement.
Upon the fostering of this one enterprise depends
very largely the progress of agricultural educational
and social life. The merchant, the farmer the
facturer and every family within commonwealth
benefits in way another from the perfection or
extension of good roads system.
Georgia's increasing prosperity has come in
great measure from her increas ng interest in road
building.
If the present legislature would quicken and fur
Their this essential work. it do better than to
pass bill establishing state highway commission,
through which all the counties may labor together
and under central guidance for the development of
their common highway interests,

The MARCH OF GOOD ROADS

The sweep and impetus Of the good roads move
ment is impressiveiy shown in year book recently
issued by the American Association for Highway
Improvement. This evidence is all the more compel
ling for the reason that it is set forth in definite
figures gathered from oficial records in practically
all the states Of the Union
During the year 1911, it appears, this country
spent appropriated through bond issues the sum
of thirtyeight million, six hundred and eightysix
thousand, five hundred and seventy-fve dollars for
highway improvement and extension. Viewed from
the standpoint of actual needs this amount is by no
means stupendous in any wise adequate But
when compared with the records of five or ten years
ago it is truly significant 1t shows that however
much remains to be done in this vital field of devel
opment. the awakening has come and that hence
forth the country may be expected to move steadily
and speedily forward in this great work
OF particular interest is the fact that consid-
cradle portion of the thirtyeght millions was voted
in southern. states.
Texas led the south with eight million, nine hun
