FEDERAL GAME LAW
rs STILL IN FORCE,
Season on Migratory Wild Fowl
Closed Until Next Autumn
Troughout Nation

Washington, D. CA mislead.
ing statement has recently be,
come current in newspapers OF
! the Mississippi valley and else
where to the effect that the de-
partment of agriculture has suS-
pended the enforcement of the
federal regulations under the mi
gratory bird law and by this
means has enabled sportsmen, un-
der state laws, to shoot wild fowl
the coming spring.
Under the federal regulations
as they now stand, the season on
all migratory wild fowl is closed
until next autumn throughout the
United States. Federal inspec-
tors and wardens are required,
and others interested in the pro-
lection of wild fowl are requested
to report to the department of ag-
riculture all cases of violations of
the regulations, in order that
proper action may be taken.
The department of agriculture
has no power to suspend the law
or to pardon violations of the
regulatins. Doubtless the erron-
eous impression, on which the
newspaper statements are based,
has grown out of the pendency Of
litigation involving the constitu-
tionality of the act of congress
approved March 4, 1913 under
which the regulations were pro-
mulgated.
The lower federal courts disa-
greed as to the validity of the sta
tute and the issue was carried to
the supreme court of the United
States. The case was argued in
the supreme court in October,
1915, but has not been decided.
Following the lower court dcciS-
ions, congress appropriated mon
ey for the purpose of continuing
the enforcement of the law. The
department of agriculture is
bound to report to the depart
ment of justice violations Of the
regulations if the supreme court
should declare the law constitu,
tional. All persons should, there
