~ COMMISSIONERS SWEPSON
EARL of the Maryland Con-

~ ter to Edward c. kemper,
chairman of the bass protec-
ton committee, Washington Chapter,
Izaak Walton League of America,
promises his support of proposed leg
sslation in the Old Line State prohib-
iting the sale of bass in its markets at
envy time of the year.
In acknowledging Earl's letter
kemper said:
Our bill here in the District Of
Columbia has passed the Senate and
we believe il will pass the House.
Thus Congress will have removed
O. large market for Maryland bass and
will have set an example which we
hope your State and Pennsylvania will
follow at an early date.
Right at this minute the Washing
ton Ash markets are full Of Maryland
bass, taken while they are sluggish
and sold as If they We're coarse fish.
"If these bass had been allowed to
live they would have brought into
the State thousands of dollars which
will now go somewhere else. Mary
land has some of the finest big mouth
bass water in the United States, and
IL her tide water creeks were not
netted to death they would become a
mecca for anglers from the big cities
as far away as New York and Pitts
burgh. These men would bring into
your State much money to be spent

penses and boat hire, etc.
Under present conditions your has

lion. and those which are netted in the
lrif hn iaf a
man 30 cents a pound. more or less,
whereas they would have brought the
State a dollar a pound, il they had
been left for the angler.
THE Izaak Walton League is work
sng for legislation Of this sort in all of
its chapters and IL is a personal prin.
ciple with me. In fact. / feel that the
one contribution which l can make to
outdoor America is 10 fight the com
2nercial sale Of black bass wherever
that sale is going on. At this time
have under way a study of conditions
tn all the Eastern States, with an
analysis showing what each State is
doing and what the situation is as a
whole.
Can the Washington Chapter OF
the league do anything to help you
with the situation in the General AS
sembly of Maryland?
We have quite few members iiv'
ing in Maryland and they are willing
10 work for any bill that you may ad
tocate for taking the bass Of the Mary
land markets, and also for a license
fee for non resident anglers. That Is
q principle all Of the Washington an
glers believe in, for they want to pay
their share toward the conservation
work of the State in which they fish
Am sure all of our men would approve
