Address by Governor Brewster
Governor Brewster in addressing
the Maine Sportsmen's Fish and
Game Association at the banquet
Wednesday evening at the Augusta
House. declared that 1t is well that
we should occasionally recognize
the work that the newspapers of
Maine are doing in promoting the
interests of the entire State.
with an unselfishness and per-
sistency that does them great credit
said Governor Brewster. they are
hammering away day after day IN
the theme of a bigger and better
and more serviceable State of Maine
in the varied lines of activity on
which it seems possible for us now
to progress.
"Tbeir editorials and news Items
have been constructive and helpful
from the very start and they are
perhaps the single and most import |
ant factor in cultivating that unity |
of attitudeo of our citizens toward a !
conservative program by which our
State can alone hope to progress"
Matters Discussed
The only voice raised in opposition |
to the one-deer limit in open sea- ,
son in all counties in the State, was |
that of Daniel /. Gould of Bangor, |
who urged that the onedeer limit |
should be only for out of the State |
hunters.
THE deer belong to the people,"
said Mr.. Gould.
"They belong to the people, just ,
the same as the State House belongs
to the people" asserted Willis +. |
Parsons of Dover Foxcroft. COM !,
missioner of inland fisheries and
game. You cannot take away any,
thing from the State House without ,
paying for it."
MIR. bald. however. voted with
the other members Of the Associa
ton for the general one-deer limit. /
Associate Justice A. NJ Spear of :
Gardiner urged a return to the SO
fee for nonresident hunters in the
place of the present SIS fee, insist
ing that the State would have re-
ceived 100000 additional in fees in
II years, ii that plan had been
adopted.
1t took a poll OF the associa-
ton members to determine upon the t
adoption of the proposal to impose |
penalty upon owners of dogs found I
unaccompanied in wild lands of for
ests. The vote was 40 for the pro-
posal to four against. with 80 or
more of those present not voting.
The proposed measure would take !
the place of the present law which /
allows wardens to kill dogs found |
unaccompanied by owners and a |
great deal of discussion was around |
the question of the right of wardens
to shoot dogs.
Fish and game cannot vote in its
own behalf" said George c. Orr of
Portland IN plea for adequate pro-
tective measures for fish anC ga, he
interests, including the Game Re-
fugc bill. /
