The Sis Non resident License
The s25 nonresident hunting license is
mistake anyway, according to Charles
B. Carter OF Lewiston. who appeared be-
fore the committee on inland fisheries
and game Thursday afternoon favorng
the bill TO reduce the license from 50 to
SIS. Mr.. Carter stated that it had teen
the intent of the lawmakers who re-
wrote the game laws 10 provide for a
SIS nonresident license for deer hunters
and higher license Of So for those who
desired to hunt moose also. ard that in
the hurried last days OF the work the
terms OF the legislation were unintention-
ally altered so that ses license was re-
cuired for deer hunters from out Of the
State. -- ---~-
Mt. Carter further stated that the re-
duction Is advisable Oh the ground that
the higher fee is decreasing the number
Of sportsmen who visit the State each
autumn and that from these sportsmen
comes a fair snare of the money to offset
the expense TO which the State Is put in
game preservation. He said Names sur
plus game should bring the State a rev.
enue and to nonresident sportsmen the
State must look for part OF this rev.
enue. He believes those sportsIhen who
can afford to pay SIS for the license stay
longer than those who refuse to pay
more than SIS and that on this account
the reduction Of the fee does not fore
cast greater slaughter OF deer.
Homer D. Waldron, general passenger
agent OF the Maine Central Railroad,
presented facts and figures to prove Mr..
Carriers statements. He said that last
week a meeting of general passenger
agents of several New England railroads
was held in Boston to discuss the 1915
advertising budget and. he was told that
the advertising committee would hold in
allegiance the sum to be expended for ad-
vertising hunting in Maine until It
learned whether the license fee was re-
duced. thinking it inadvisable to expend
as great a sum as usual IL the SIS feet
was retained.
Mr.. Waldron gave some interesting Ag-
ures. There are" he said, ''19s5 hotels.
