The 1913 report Of the game
warden in District No. 2, which
includes 80 counties, shows that
$16,O72. There were 2O39 licenses
sued and 50 nonresident licenses,
giving the game fund a total Of
$16072. There we're O39 licenses
issued in Cass county alone. In
Mclean there were 707, the sixth
highest in the state. During 1913
there were Sc arrests made, 81
Of whom were convicted paying a
fine Of $1149. The money taken.
in by the game wardens for fines
is turned into the school fund. U.
L.. Burdick, republican candidate
for governor, favors the abolish
ing Of game wardens and putting
the duty of enforcing the game
laws ON the county officials
where it rightfully belongs. In
the reports sent out of the money
taken in by the wardens no men-
ton is made of how many dollars
have been given as salaries to
wardens and their deputies. 1t
seems like a case of "robbing
Peter to pay Paul"
