Reports emanatfng from ANNAPOLIS
state that the Maryland license bill
for fishermen has met with such
strong opposition that its defeat is
predicted. In fact, State Game War
den LIE Compte is quoted aS saying that
1t will be Impossible to pass this
measure. And no small part of this
movement to defeat the bill has come
from the anglers OF Washington.
No sooner had the anglers of this
city learned of the measure proposed
by Maryland, to impose tax Of SO
to fish in that state, than letters and
kilograms commenced to pour into
the governor and to members of the
Legislature.
1t will be of interest to followers
of the rod and reel to know that but
two states in the Union require what
may, be termed an exorbitant license
fee to fish. They are Arizona and
West Virginia.
Arizona issues combined hunting
and fish license for $40. but also
granted q special license for fifteen
days for s1.10, which makes it within
the reach of every one. West Vir-
ginia is at the top with n license fee
