ification for such responsible position Moreover, politics has clearly no place in matters connected with the delights of the open. and should not be toa- erated.
 Definite Policies.
 Second, men being considered for 3 commission could properly be asked to pledge themselves to carry out defi- mite policies for the public betterment, if appointed. Candidates might well announce the policy to which they would pledge themselves, which would both assist in an intelligent selection and make it easier for the appointee to steer his course true.
 Following is a platform which I would suggest for new policy of fish cries and game. Details, of course. could be varied, but as to the main principles I believe that any man or men who aspire to make notable record of public service would have no reason to be ashamed of then..
 Outline Suggested.
 1. Adopt the policy of the propa- gation of game birds, especially native species, both by semi-artificia1 and natural methods. Import no more foreign birds for direct distribution Establish a central state game farm on the state tract of the Connecticut Agricultural college. Employ as su-
 
 who has had targe success. Breed quail and Oregon pheasants for inn mediate distribution, and experiment with other special Also distribute eggs of game birds for matching. Train the warden force in methods of feed- ing and protecting wild game, and in those of feeding and attracting song and insec tivorous birds used by the German government Extend the system of state reserves for game and bird life, including added reserves spe- cially for the breeding, attracting and protecting of wild fowl, particularly wild ducks.
 IT. (Extension worlz.) By printing matter and supervision instruct and assist farmers, land owners and sportsmen in the propagation of game birds and wild fowl. Cooperate with the private game preserves in prop agation and increase of game. Co., operate with the Connecticut Agri- cultural college in training students and poultry school attendants to be- come expert game propa agators, to fill good positions which are already wait ing Start branch game farms over the state as rapidly as expedient and employ these trained men to run them. Encourage game breeding as an indus try.
 III. Tone up the game warden ser vice in line with methods similar to he civil service, as recently adopted n Massachusetts, as follows: Select Il. Have a chief warden and a small staff )f rangers, on salary and giving their entire time. Pay local deputy war lens at least a small annual fee as unds allow, and expect them to do some real work. Make promotion by merit. Abolish politics from the ser ice. ". Regulate distribution of fish, preventing distribution in private wa CTS contrary to law, and also the posting of waters stocked 1 with state fish. Secure open stocked l vaters for public use. Increase the l upply of fngerling fish, and discour- | ge diStri button of fry. " Institute full publicity as a pol cy, both as to methods and expendi- | ures. Establish regular publicity sys- | em, to obviate complaint that things l re. done in the dark, and give out ire | uent and ungarbled information, both | f success and failure, which is the I ight of the public who pay the bills. Ise the hunting license fund only for 1 he increase, protection and propaga- | ion of game.
 VI Strictly keep out politics from he entire department. without doing Thich full efficiency is impossible Put l on the best possible bus ness basis, courting suggestions and
