nee county farmer and fellow from
the city who was a busy man.
]. J. Crawford, claiming to be an

TOO MUCH RED TAPE
That Is Complaint About Hunting
Licenses to Soldiers.

There is too much red tape sur
rounding the issuance OF fishing and
hunting licenses to soldiers. That
was the complaint which Walter T.
Griffin, county attorney of Marshall
county, made today to Judge S. n.
Hawkes.. assistant attorney general.
Griffin came to Topeka TO gain in
formation as to the easiest plan of aid
ing the soldiers in securing free per-
mits as provided under the state law.
He returned to Marysville with but
little new light on the subject.
THE trouble" said Griffin, seems
to be that three or four sets of blanks
and affidavits are required. Marshall
county doesn't provide enough clerical
help to do the work. The require
ments of the state fish and game war
den are too much for me. l am will

one ought to remove the red tape"
