~ Laws for 1921.

Washington.-A tendency TO tighten
the restrictions on the hunting OF
birds and big game Is noted in the
game laws for 1921, a summary of
which, both federal and state, has been
compiled by the federal biological sur.
vey. Among the notable changes made
during the present year was the
amending OF the migratory bird treaty
act regulations with respect TO bag
limits.
This amendment provides that the
daily bag limit of any person shall
now include "aii birds taken by any
other person who for hire accompanies
or assists him In taking migratory
birds" This win put an end to the
abuse Of privileges under the regula.
ttoDs regarding the prescribed daily
bag limits by persons who claim that
birds were killed by guides accom-
panying them.

The federal waterfowl season for
California was fixed from October ]
to January 10, replacing the old sea.
son Of october 16 to January 81, the
season now being the same under both
federal and state laws. Regulation 8,
governing the issuance OF federal
scientific permits, was amended to
permit the issuance Of limited and spe-
cial permits.
State legislation harmonized federal
and state laws on waterfowl and shore
birds in Kansas and Oregon, and on
waterfowl in Pennsylvania and Rhode
Island; Washington prescribed u state
wide open season on all migratory
game birds from October l to January
10, thus deviating from the federal
regulations, which sIpersede the state
law, east of the Cascade mountains,
where It will now be possible to hunt
migratory game birds only from 0ctO-
her / to December 81, without violat-
ing either federal or state law; In
Idaho the open season ON migratory
game birds has been shortened under
state law two weeks by opening Octo-
her !, instead of September 10, and
extending 70 December 81.

mont. Doves were protected until
1924 In Colorado, and In Kansas m

In Washington east OF the Cascades.
