Bag Limit Now Includes Birds
Killed by Persons Assisting
the Hunters.
AIRPLAHE SHOOTING BARRED
Tendency to Tighten Restrictions on
Hunting Of Birds and Big Game Is
Shown in Federal and state
Laws for 1921.

WashingtOn.-A tendency to tighten
tAe restrictions on the hunting of
birds and big game is noted in the
game laws for 1921, 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 "all birds taken by any
other person who for hire accompanies
or assists him in taking migratory
birds" This will put an end to the
abuse of privileges under the regula-
tons regarding the prescribed daily
bag limits by persons who claim that
birds were killed by guides accom-
panying them.
Waterfowl Season.
The federal waterfowl season for
California was fixed from October 1
to January Is, 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 a state
wide open season on all migratory
game birds from October 1 to January
10, thus deviating from the federal
regulations, which supersede the state
law, east Of the Cascade mountains,
where it will now be possible to hunt
migratory game birds only from OctO-
Der / 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-
Der /, instead Of September 16, and
extending to December 81.
Idaho, Kansas, Montana, Ne
braska, Oregon and Washington enact
ed legislation similar to the federal
regulation prohibiting hunting from
airplanes. Colorado reduced the bag
limit on ducks from 20 to 10 a day,

for the purpose of investigating
charges brought against City Com

claimed that the work was done In a
garden and chicken yard belonging to
the commissioner. .

the hearing, but was only slightly cor
roborated by the witnesses he brought.
Several members of the street force
and Commissioner Vansant made spe.
cific denials of the charges brought
by Trott, though they said that hands
had been used by Vansant during
times when they were not employed
by the city.

of the Council, making up a majority,
has delayed naming a city commits
sioner pending the outcome of the
investigation. The committee has not
