That the state game law definitely

cannot be taken to mean IS of each
variety, is the gist of an opinion re-
Gently furnished the state game war
den by Attorney G1neCal Wiley E.
Jones. Some sportsmen, the game
warden reports, have been inter
pret1ng the law to neaa that 70
birds is the legal limit for one days

ney general follows:
Department of the Attorney General,
August IS, 1915
Hon. M. G. Willard, State Game
Warden, Phoenix, Arizona:
Dear Sir[I have your letter of
yesterday, inquiring about the cen
struction to be placed upon the num-
Der of birds that may be killed under
the following language quoted by
you: "Thirty-five doves, or white
wings in one day."
The language of the statute ap
pears to plainly lump or throw the
white wings and doves together, sc
that even if they are different spe
cieg of birds, hat 35 would be the
limit applied to both species taker
together.
However, 7 find that the Century
Dictionery, Ten Volume Edition, II
volume 8, page 6313, contains the
following: ''White-winged doves, {
pigeon found in the southwestern
parts of the United States, with {
broad oblique wing-bar." So i
seems that there is no doubt or PEI
plexity whatever arising in the mat
ter. Only IS white wings or doves
as the statute plainly says, may b.
taken in one day, and not 20, as tn
sporUsmen might seek to interpret it
The killing of above 35 white wing
or doves" l. violation of the gam
law of Arizona. Very truly yours,
