The Carlisle independent., 1915-04-08

| Senator J. M. Futrell of this city, author of the new game law that has just gone into effect, denies that the | law Is defective or that the absence of specific appropriation on the part of the Legislature will handicap the game commission in the enforcement of the act
 From newspaper reports,' said Senator Futrell, it appears some peo- pie think they have found a defect in the new game law in that the Legis- lature made no appropriation, and that for this reason the license fund will J accumulate in the treasury and cannot be drawn out; that wardens cannot be procured to render any service when 1t will be impossible Tor them to draw pay. Friends of the measure were well aware that no appropriation was being made, and really do not think it is | necessary to do so in view of the fact that no definite idea could be obtained as to how much money will accumu- late, and the appropriation laws must specify the amounts appropriated in dollars and cents. This is constitu- tlonal requirement.. It was purposely provided that all license fees should be paid into the state treasury. Ger talnly the man who issues the license should not be allowed to receive the | money, as this would destroy any checking or accounting system, and IS temptation to dishonesty. Under the law passed in 1913, the governor can issue proclamation and vouchers may be issued against funds which will be handled with little or no discount. There will be no trouble on this account. The failure to make an appropriation was not an oversight
 T also notice in some of the papers that it is stated that it is now against the law to fish with hook and line or with trot line. This is mistake It is rot against the law to fish with hook and line or trot line at any time"
