terday stated his opposition to the biHi
 Mir. DilE, What I said was that I was opposed; to- creating bird saRctu- aries and having portion of them used as public shooting grounds, and this morning l am talking about the proposal to make every man Ill the United States who wants to go out and hunt, unless he hunts on his own ground, buy a Federal license, the pro ceeds of. such licenses to the amount of 40 per cent tt, be used to pay game wardens who will he Federal ap- pointees-
 MT. Norbeck. Let me correct the Senator's statement. Not every man who wants to hunt but every man who wants to. hunt. migratory birds must take oua T. Federal license to do so.
 Mir. DllI- Oh, wei, migratory birds.
 Mr. Norbeck. It does nut apply to any thergame..
 MT. Dill. If he does not hunt any thing but jack rabbits it Is all right but man who goes out hunting wants to be able to shoot whatever game is available to be shot at. l see no necessity, because we want to en- act law to establish, sanetuaries for birds, to establish bird reserves, that we should enlarge the bill so as to provide a great Federal system of game wardens in this country. l think most of the States have bird re- serves or sanctuaries for game. i approve of them most heartily; | think they are very desirable; but we do not allow anyone to hunt on them; at least that Is not allowed i'll my State, and do not think 1t is allowed in most States
 MT. Norbeck. TheH will not be per ! mitted tp De hunted Gn under this bill
 Mf. Dill This bill specifically pro- vides for granting of licenses to hunt on certain lands 10 be purchased by the commission.
 MT. Norbeck. Yes; on certain parts of them; in other words, the proposed law does establish grounds on which there may be no hunting, whereas at the present time, there are no such grounds. Therefore it's a conserva- tive measure.
 MT. Reed of Missouri MrM. Presi- dent
 The Vice President. Does the Sen ator from Washington yield to the Senator from Missouri?
 MT. Dill. yield.
 Mr. Reed of Missouri wanted to inquire, since the jack rabbit has been spoken of in disrespectful manner here this morning.
 MT. Dill Not disrespectfully-
 MT. Reed of Missouri. Why the jack rabbits rights, privileges and inn munities. should not be guarded and why his offspring should not be con
 
 | served quite as much as those of a iacksnipe? What is the difference in l principle7
 MT. Dill. [ simply stated in answer to the Senator from South Dakota that man might be able to shoot 8 .I Jack rabbit without a Federal license but that was about the only game an imal he might shoot.
 MT. Reed of Missouri What I want to know of the Senator from Soutf Dakota. is, if if birds are to be pro- tected why we should refuse to in clude jack rabbits? Why should we not look after the jack rabbit? Ht certainly is as innocent and inoffen sive as is any of the birds. Why should we confne our affection and J our protection to birds? There IS noi
 anything I know of that is more, en
 thraIling than to watch an ahTeSbodiet < jack rabbit undertake to beat s, gray s hound across an 80-acre piece oi ; ground. That is the most sportsman
 like element of the whole hunting
 business.
 MT. Dill. Of course we, do not have
 sanctuaries for jack rabbits Mir. Reed of Missouri. Why not Why can not these sanetuaries bs made places of refuge, for Jack rab
