FOR GAME PROTECTION.
Commissioner Austin Says Resident
Hunters Should Pay License

Hunters should Pay License
Chairman n. b Austin, Of the State fish
and game commissioners, believes resident
hunters should pay license. The main
object OF this, Mr.. Austin points out, is
not to raise additional funds for game
protection, but 10 aid in the enforcement
OF the non. resident license Law.
Chief Warden Perkins, In Ellsworth
last week, speaking OF the need OF a
resident hunters license, told OF the din
culties in the way OF enforcing the nom
resident hunters license law without it.
II warden suspects q hunter is non
resident, hunting without license, and
the hunter claims be is resident OF
Maine, the warden can do nothing. he
has no means at hand for proving the
mans word, and unless he sbandens
everything else and camps right on the
trail OF the suspected hunter until he
comes out OF the woods, he must take his
word for ii. II resident hunters, also, were
required to have a license, the warden
could demand to see it, and satisfy him.
self at once.
G@AIu year. WIN tue SouHiAutig iHCrEAs-
ing number OF nonresident hunters COM
ing into the State by automobile, the en-
forcement of the Law becomes more diff
cult, and game is rapidly being depleted
by these nonresident hunters, many Of
whom do not take the trou BILE to obtain
licenses.
Chairman Austin says: ''The tax payer
pays no tax on the game OF the State, for 1t
is public property in way, and under a
license law he would only be paying for
the privilege OF hunting and destroy
ing that which belongs to his non
hunting neighbor as well as toS himself
ALI but eight states OF the Union have
some form of & resident hunters license
law. Maine Is the only state north Of
Mason and Dixon's line which does not
have such Law. Seven of the Canadian
provinces also have such law"
