Hardship on Hunters.

1T is a hardship on Illinois hunters
10 have such state OF affairs. The
hunters Of this state are as anxious as
is the federal government to protect
game. But they are not familiar al
ways with the federal game laws.
They feel that they have done well
when they learn the game laws of llh-
nois. But since no concessions can be
obtained from Washington. the hunt
crs and the game officers OF the states
are preparing to have the state game
laws amended so as not to conflict
with the federal statute.
"A bill is now being prepared in
Springfield and without doubt will be
passed by the present general assem-
| bly,. But at present. while the federal
officers sent from Washington. are ar
resting hunters right and left. all we
state officers can do is to advise the
hunters TO watch out for Uncle Sans
wardens. All interested in hunting
will be glad when the state law is
changed
Illinois is not the only state thus
afflicted. There are other states, but
all. or nearly all, are preparing to
amend theird game laws. With the
Canadian treaty placing game regula-
tions under the federal government
control. there is no other way the
states can protect their hunters
