one would have a perfect right to ques-
tiOn his veracity
In reference to the protection and prop
agation Of game in the State, a cOnscien-
tious responsibility has never rested with
the present Game Commission. They
claim they need all this revenue for such
purposes. Did they do it from Dec. 81.
1912, TO Dec. 81, 1916. when they had in
cash S32, 456.l3? Did they attempt to do
IL last winter when the ground was COW

food to eat and died by hundreds? Then
would have been a good opportunity for
them TO protect our game, even If ii took
every dollar out Of their treasury.

They have attempted 10 get the State

Why Enact More Laws for the Benefit of
the Present Game Commission?
We have plenty of game laws in the
State at the present time. our present
State Laws, in cooperation with the Fed
eral Laws, make it possible for resi-
dent OF our State to gun in the State only
a short time in the fan of the year. We
nave a very competent chief warden in
Mr.. j. Hall Anderson, and very compe-
tent and very active Field Warden in |
Dir, Alfred Dillahay; besides under the |
present laws members Of the State Game |
Board have power to arrest without war |
rant for all violations of the game laws /
Of the State; all sheriffs, deputy sheriffs, (
eonsta0leS and policemen, or other peace |
ottcerS Of this State shall be ex-officio |
deputy game wardens. Ii seems TO me
that with all this force they should be
able 10 protect the game Of our State
and keep the illegal hunters away.
section 40 OF the present game laws
reads: When an arrest for a violation of !
Lhe came and Fish Law IS made by any Il
Game Warden and the defendant is con- |,
ylcted there shall be taxed as costs in
favor Of such Warden making the arrest
the same fee as constable is entitled to
IN miSdemeanor causes, except where
otherwise provided (and it has been other
wise provided in several cases) and #
coHected from. the defendant, shall be his
personal requisite.
II there are so many violations Of the
Game and Fish Laws as the Commission
would nave you to believe, any game
warden could make a comfortable living {
with these costs added to his present
salary, and would certainly be a stimu-
!ous for him to get out and find these
laW-breakerS that are so numerous The
Game Board will tell you that they do ,
