MT. Dill. If he wishes to hunt mi

his own land even if he hunts migra- tory birds; and, in the second place, there is. no license required for boys under 16 years of age.
 MT. Dill lam not talking about boys of Is years or older. Let us talk about the man who owns a quar- ter of a section of land somewhere, and can not do any hunting beyond it without being arrested. What this bill ought to do is to provide for bird sanctuaries that are desired-I have no objection to that-and then provide that the birds in those sanctuaries should be protected there. 1 have no objection to the appointment of Fed eral officials for that purpose. What I object to is providing an enormous Federal fund here and then and then providing that 40 per cent of it can be used in the administration of this law.
 Mr. Overman. MT. President, the bill provides for an appropriation of S50,000 from the Treasury to estab- fish great bureau here. MT. Dill To start with, yes; but they propose to maintain it by the funds that come in from these lie enses. The Senator from South Da- kota said while ago that he did not expect to have more than two game wardens in a State. Then why does not the bill limit the amount that can be spent for game wardens? The Senator knows they are talking about having from one to five million dollars a year come in to this fund. MT. Norbeck. Some people talk about one to five millions. Some peo- pie talk all kinds of figures. There is no roof on the imagination.
 MT. Dill What does the Senator think the receipts will be?
 MT. Norbeck. From half a million dollars to million.
 Mr. Dill. Let us say from half a million dollars to a million, then. Forty per cent of half a million dol lars is $2O0,000, and 40 per cent of million dollars is $400.000
 MT. Norbeck. All right. Divide that up between AS States and the Territory of Alaska, and how many game wardens do you get in each place?
 MT. Dill. fOflcgurse, I am taking the Senator's limit of half 9 million to million dollars, of which 40 per cent wouldt be S200,000 or $400, ,000. The Senator, of. course, assumes that there will not be over a milioln people in this country that will want to hunt these migratory birds. The Senator must know that there are two or three times that many people who hunt them, and nobody is going to be deterred by $1 license. The license rate is fixed at S1 so that anybody will feel free to buy license; but un derneath it is the proposition of set ting up lot of Federal game wardens all over the United States. If the Senator wants to limit them to one or two to a State, why does he not put such a limitation in the bill? Why does he not limit the amount of money that can be spent for this sort ] of business? Instead of that we have thrust before us here a bill with a possibility of spending a million or two million dollars for it's administra- | tion.
 MT. Tyson. MT. President, will the Senator yield?
 MT. Dill Yes, yield.
 MT. Tyson. 1 wish to say that in reporting on this bill the Secretary of Agriculture specifically states that 40 per cent of the receipts will be neces- sary in order to enforce it properly.
 MT. Dill. How is he going to en- force it?
 MT. Tyson. He will enforce it in the usual way.
 Mr. Dill. What is the usual way?
 MT. Tyson. That is to say, by hav- ing game wardens and other things. Game wardens are not the only things they are going to spend money for Let me read what he says:
 ''The 6O-40 per cent division of the funds is entirely satisfactory to the Denartment. but a reducthon .haIoW 40
