FISHING IN MINNESOTA
(St. Paul Pioneer Press)


Those sportsmen Of North Da-
kota who enjoy coming into Mime
sofa TO- fish but who nave been
complaining of late because the
Minnesota legislature increased
nonresident angling licenses to S.
and placed additional restrictions
on the amount Of fish that may be
taken from the state should take
to heart the advice Of W. c. Tay-
! Tor. Living in North Dakota. the
chances are they know that Mr..
Taylor is editor Of the LaMoure
Chronicle, 4 veteran Newspaper
| man Of the state and for six years
state commiss oner of insurance
Mr.. Taylor appreciates Minnesota
fishing. He does not object at all
to paying So year for t:le privi
lege OF enjoying it. A So non
resident angling in Minnesota is a
regular annual levy upon him, too,
for his automobile covers the road
into. Ottertail county so often tina,
ii machines were animate it would
know the route. Says he, in his
columnm, "Taylorgrams": THE
amount Of ;his fishing license is
of small consequence. 1t will
never provide a fund large enough
to insure the army of war,sns
needed to patrol the thousands o
lakes from which fish are taken
illegally every year" Thus writes
Mr. Taylor, in the face of the fact
that Fishing in Minnesota ain'l
what it used to be. And 1t j.; get
ting no better fast The answer Is
mainly to be found in the fact that
Minnesota got its fish conservation
program under way about twenty
years too late. And it still permits
that most atrocious Offense agains,
the rudiments of conservation -
winter fshinp by means of ne
and spear The wonder is that the
fish supply in that state was MOI
long since exhausted. The a!tifi
cial Matching of fish eggs and t.leil
distribution to The various lakes of
!, the state has thus far averte,l that
calamity" SO Mr.. Taylor goes on
not complaining because the cost of
his license was increased, but
while remarking casually that he
had "miserable luck last week
calling upon Minnesota to keep VI
the good work, praising The Game
and Fish department for what il
has Gone and demanding that it do
more OF the same, especially to
ward stopping Illegal fishing. That
sort CT spirit in the matter is
worth thinking about: Co-Opera
ton, not complaint. is what this
man is Offering Minnesota authori
ties. Ut serves as worth while
example not merely to other non
residents, Mut to Minnesota ang
lers as we'll 1t indicates some
thing, too, about Mr. Taylor. He
is not only an enthusiastic fisher
man. He is sportsman. He
should have better luck the next
time he comes to Minnesota. H.
deserves it.

of taxation he believes should be left the state while
the other hand the states should income taxation
