 health, their dying out, and doing other things that have to be done by other departments.
 Mir. Dill. Is this fund to he used for propagation
 MT. Tyson. It is to be used for any purpose that is necessary to protect and defend and look after the game of the United States.
 MT. Dill. Is this a bill to propagate birds9
 MT. FTson. Anything that is nee essary to preserve the game of the United States.
 MT. Dill. The Senator knows and we all know that this money is to be used for the enforcement of the law in the ordinary way, and that is by game wardens. The Department of Agriculture approves using 40 per cent of it for that purpose. I am not surprised at that l never knew man who is given power to appoint men who did not want power to ap- point all that the law would let him appoint; and of course these men would like te build up a. system of Federal officials thEoughout this couu- try to control the migratory birds and have them around somewhere watch ing everybody who has license If this is primarily bird sanctuary bill. then I think it ought te he written from the standpoint of establishing 8 bird sanctuary, instead of being pri marily public shooting bill, for that is what it is
 Mr. Kendrick. Mir. President, will the Senator yield
 Mr. Dill. Yes.
 MT. Kendrick. I want to ask the Senator in all fairness if he would favor the establishment of bird sane tuaries without providing some means to protect the birds in the sanctu- aries?
 MT. Dill. Oh, nc I said d moment ago that if we establish these bird sanctuaries ! am in favor of having provision in the law for men to pro Iect the birds in the sanctuaries, and 1 would not let any shooters go in and shoot there or in any public grounds ! alongside of them either
 MT .kendrick. The Senator from South Dakota insists that po shooting 1 is to be allow ed N ithin the sanctuary
 MT. 5Diil. No; they call the part | where they allow shooting q public shooting. ground They do not call that a sanctuary. That is the only 1 difference
 Mr., Kendtick. In tn protection of the birds, would the Senator prefer . ! direct appropriation for that purpose or would he prefer the charging of ! fees for licenses for hunting2
 MT. Dill. would prefer direct appropriation to buy whatever birJ sanctuaries are necessary. ] ann not | in favor of a Federal license for the shooting of migratory birds.
 Mir. Kendrick. De the laws of the 1 Senator's State provide for licenses for hunting?
 MT. Dill. They do, to be paid to each county for county license, or you may buy "a State license
 MT. Kendrick. Does the Senator Senator have any information that there is any surplus of game wardels under such provisions of law in his own State?
 MT. Dill. We'll, we have enough 1 game wardens, and 1 want to say that some of the most contemptihle char acters that I know in the sporting world are some of these game war dens, who try to trap men into viola- 1 tions of the law.
 MT. Kendrick. The Senator's eX perience along that line has heen somewhat different from mine.
 MT. Dill. I have had some expert ] ence as a prosecuting attorney where 1 had to prosecute their cases, and l know something ot their methods, and 1 do not approve of them. l want to say in fairnessathat the rank and file l of them do a great service. The rank ! and file of them are fair. The rank ! and file of ethen are really trying to | protect the game and are not trying l
