Enforcing the Game Laws

That section of the state game law requiring an
angler to secure a special license before using artificial
bait has been subjected to considerable criticism by
individuals who express the opinion that it %interferes
with the rights Of the fisherman 70 enjoy the sport to
which he is accustomed.
Anglers should bear in mind that practically all
game fish in Texas streams and lakes have been
planted" by the state game department.. that thou
sands Of dollars have been expended for this purpose.
and that the license fee Of S1OO goes into the fund 10
maintain the state hatcheries and distribute the fish.
1t is doubtful il 5 per cent of the population of
Texas know the difference between a "hackle" and a
~"wobbler' or are interested 70 any extent in the use
of artificial bait for Turing the game fish. 1t is true
that some Of the game fish are caught on minnows
or other natural bait, but the major part Of the catch
is with artificial bait. IN view Of this fact it is hardly
fair to expect the fisherman who uses minnows or
angle worms TO pay the cost Of maintaining the state
fish hatcherics for the benefit Of the user OF artificial
bait. The license demanded Of the artificial bait user
is very moderate and there can be % logical objection
to its application as a method Of financing the sport
the disciple Of the rod and reel enjoys.
Texas game wardens have been instructed ~ the
state game department TO rigidly enforce the law, and
several hundred users Of artificial bait have been COM
PEELED to pay fines for noncompliance with the law
requiring a license. While their objections 70 these
proceedings have been v%ociferous they are not re-
ceiving much sympathy FROM those who believe in the
justice Of the old axiom: let those who dance pay
the fiddler"
The Texas game laws are the result az years of
study by men who have devoted their lives to conserva-
tion Of game and fish. They are established upon the
theory that future generations have the same right to
the sports of field and stream that the present genera
tion enjoys. II il were not for the state and federal
game laws, the slaughter and wastage of game and fish
would have led to extinction OF many varieties years
ago. But under the protection Of the laws there has
been little diminution Of wild life in recent years. 8
fact with gives pleasure to every true sportsman.

The nations greatest highway need is the immediate
requirement Of wider rights Of way, is the opinion Of
Edward N. Hines, for t~wenty-one years a member OF
the board of county road commissioners OF Wayne
county, Indiana. Hines is known throughout the
United States as "the grandfather OF concrete roads"
IL Is the contention Of the famous road builder that
within another decade the existing rights OF way will
prove wholly inadequate TO handle the immense volume
OF motor traffic and that unless action is taken at
once toward widening, the cost Of rights Of way will
become prohibitive.
The Wayne county board Of which Hines was the
first chairman, and on which Henry Ford served for
several years, was the first to develop a continuing
plan OF highway improvement, the first to put this
plan under construction and the first TO conceive the
idea of separating traffic at highway intersections.
There Is probably no individual in the United States
who has made n more intensive study Of highway de-
velopment and traffic needs or who is better qualified
70 discuss the subject.
The warning issued by the Indiana expert should hs
borne in mind by all communities contemplating high
way development. Not many years ago a 3O-foot right
Of way was considered sufficient to meet traffic needs
except in congested conters Of population, and a wider
right of way was never considered in rural sections.
Development Of motor traffic brought first the 40-foot
right OF way and a few years later this was found in
adequate. In 1920 the Texas highway commission was
demanding 60-foot rights Of way for state highways.
and two years ago the demand was extended 10 so
feet. In many other states the state departments con-
SHNVi ~ iASHts o way unucr lNO feet Tor state
projects.
Cameron county is now securing sO-foot rights ot
way on practically all county paving projects, and in
most instances this width will prove sufficient. But
there are several projects where wider rights Of way
eventually will be necessary. Development Of port ia
cilities. development Of the thousands Of acres Of ricn
farm lands now lying idle and awaiting only the magic
waters Of the Rio Grande to make them produce i'm
mense tonnage, and more intensive development Of the
areas now under cultivation. will all tend to provide
additional traffic for the main and feeder roads. These
are factors that should be taken into consideration and
for which provision should Be made.
New York and Pennsylvania are now expendinc
millions Of dollars 70 provide rights OF way for high.
ways which ten years ago carried a very light traffic
but which under modern traffic conditions have become
40 congFsted that their efficiency has been impaired.
Had the road commissioners Of ten years ago foreseel
the traffic conditions az the present day. provisions
could have been made at small cost. Values along
paved highways increase rapidly. Prior to improving
the highways, rights Of way can he secured al small
cost but after paving, the land values reach a point
thta make the cost Of widening almost prohibitive.

S. Not To
Blame For Vets
Woman Declares

To The Herald:
Prohibition now stands out in the
limelight and our attention has
been called to the influence that
our 18th Amendment has brought
about. All this has been paraded
before our commonwealth row, prior
to our coming election. Ten years
have passed since Uncle Sam bur
led John Barleycorn, yet today we
find people drinking on every hand
and some w~iseacres are going about
blaming prohibition or the 18th
Amendment for these existing con-
ditions.
We hear Of a W. e. r. U. president
favoring Al Smith for our president.
where he is a confessed wet. Her
bert Hoover, who is supposed to ne
fairly dry. Is quoted here in the
South as being the owner of a dis
tillery in Canada.
This is a day when individuals are
thinking for themselves. The cues
ton Is: Are we trying to think
things through-to saddle RESPONSE
hility Of vi doings on someone else
TO salve our conscience and get bv.
or are we meeting the issues
squarely. that we may hand down A
commonwealth 10 the next cenera-
ton which will be higher and purer
than the present one?
Before the 18th Amendment came
into effect. the mothers with drunk
en- sons rightly and justly blamed
orr v-overrmept that n grfoou oorrJ
exist. Such an accusation against
our fair country went home u the
hearts Of the people and they arose
to meet the issue by making the
18th Amendment n part ar the con
stitution OF our United States. yet.
today our government is blamed for
much Of the drinking and contempt
or law because OF this 18th Amend
ment.
The real truth az the matter ~.
whoever may take this view, ere
f%ooling no one but themselves. We
hear a lot OF talk about the So
called personal rights being taken
from the individual because Of the
18th Amendment q our constitu-
ton. Most assuredly anyone should
have the right to besot themselves
and 70 to the dogs Nc they want to.
but under the present conditions no
ore can justly lay the blame on our
nation; she went out Of the saloon
business long ago. II you drink you

Unity in Diversity
Paul dealt with this problem By

prevailing in the diversity over
which they were quarreling. Their
gifts, however diverse. had one COM

diversities of gifts, but the same
Spirit. To one is given BY the
Spirit the word Of wisdom: 70 an
other the word Of knowledge by the
same Spirit; to no-hcr faith BY the

Paul went Down the line OF all their

Spirit, dividing to every man sever

room to crow over his gift as COM
