Those opposed to an upper measure
insist that the double gauge law can
not be enforced. 1t might not be OBJ

there are lots of law-abiding fsne1-

scribed, would throw back the big lob

number of them would be returned to

His bill makes the legal length four
inches, measured from the end of the bone
of the nose to the tip of the tail four

Maine on this average basis of three
per cent and at a fee of one dollar for
each certificate. we have a sum
amounting to $4,000. Adding to this
the estimated increased revenue from
nonresident and alien licenses, and we
have a total of nearly 100000, which
might be applied to game preservation,
and protection without any additional
burden of taxation.
Maine was the first state to provide
a special officer charged with the duty
of protecting fish under a law passed
in 1S43, and nine years later provided
the first game protector by creating
the office of Moose Warden, and since
those early years Maine has been a
recognized leader in progressive fish
and game legislation, until today the
fish and game laws of many other
states are to a great extent based upon
laws originally enacted by Maine leg
islatures.
But Maine has fallen behind the
other states in the very important pol
icy of providing that a part of the ex-
pense of conserving our game re-
sources shall be directly assumed by
the killers Of game, and in providing a
means of positive Identification of all
hunters, without which means Of
Identification efficient enforcement of
our game laws is impossible"

"Buy Seed Lobsters, Mark

A law requiring the State to purchase
seed Holsters. mark them with some
distinctive manner and then liberate
them in the ocean would be the best
protection that could be given the lob

sentative Claes e. Boman of yinal-
haven. as stated in an interview. Mr..
Boman, to carry out his ideas, plans
to introduce a, bill embodying them.
making it compulsory on the part of
the State. instead of optional as at
present, by the sea and shore fisheries
commissioner. to buy seed Holsters.
The bill will further require that aft
er the PURCHASE of these seed Holsters
from. the fishermen they shall be mark
ed by punching the tail fiipper. Heavy
penalty will be prescribed for anyone
selling or having I'm possession anv
lobster so marked. In this way the
State will be obliged to pay for eaoS.,
seed lobster but once and when thew

will be thrown back into the water Mr.
Boman believes that this is a much
more practical and effective plan for
preserving the seed Holsters than the

Goldthwait's Double Gauge
Lobster Measurement Law

The double gauge lobster measure
ment bill which was introduced Friday
morning in the Legislature by Represen-
tative Goldthwait of Biddeford, differs
in some particulars from the double
gauge measure offered by him in the
Legislature of 1915. The present bill
provides minimum of Is inches and
maximum of 6 inches measured from
the end of the bone of the nose to the
center of the rear end Of the body
shell, while that of two years ago pre-
scribed no maximum or upper measure
but left that to be regulated through a
double nozzle trap. which automatically
excluded the larger Holsters.
81 have excluded the double nozzle
provision from this bill because upon
further investigation 1 am convinced
that it would work a hardship upon
the fishermen and is not practicable
for that reason" said Capt. Gold
thwait. and he added, "the fishermen
have hardship enough and l am opnos-
ed 10 anything that works further
hardship upon tl:em.'

Chairman Austin on Resi-.

Inc enactment of a law for the reg

considered by the 18th Maine Leeisla
ture and attracting a great amount of
attention. Harry B. Austin of phil
lips, chairman of the Inland Fish ard

on the subject made the following
statement:

The principle that the game Of a
state belongs to its people has
been established by decision OF the
United States Supreme court and the
right Of the people to make restric-
tons as to the taking of game is no
longer questioned. However, only a
very small percentage of the people of
any state exercise their right of own
ership by killing game: nevertheless,
the making Of the game laws has

small percentage of the people many

interests of the whole people.

In other words: During the year 1915
the supervisory expense was .07292 Of
the net cost of labor and material. or
.06796 of the gross expenditures super
vised by the department.
During 1915 practically the same re-
suit was obtained as during 1914, that is,
of every dollar expended through the de-
partment SO 1-3c went into labor and
material and the maintenance and con-
struction of roads, and 6 2-3c was used
in the administering. planning, supervis-
ing and accounting of the expenditure.
81 would like to state that the reports
issued by the copmssion show in detail
the cost of every job of state highway,
state aid highway or work under spec
ial resolves. The report also shows the
engineering and inspection expense for
each job.
IN this connection it is interesting to
make a comparison between the State Of
Maine and other similar work done
throughout the country. In October.
1916 the L. S. Department of Agricul-
ture issued circular No. SO, giving the
state highway mileage and expenditures
f~the calendar year of 1915. We find
tiidt IA tIlt WuOlt OUlleC states uuIiHS
&hat year the expenditure supervised by
state highway departments was SS0.514.-
699G0 and that the administration and
engineering account for the WnCIe coun-
try in making this expenditure was
$5,494,213.00; ir other words: The aver
age of this expense dor she country was
.oeS2, which shows that ouEfeost of su-
pervision is within the average for the
country.
Again, if we select some of the states
where the best roads are built under the
most careful supervision we find that the
cost of supervision runs from per cen,
up and in the states where poor SUPER
vision prevails the cost is little lower
than it is in Maine.
