Montana Has

HELENA, MONT, April A.
(Special)-The Montana Sports
mans License, authorized by the
last legislature and signed by
Governor Erickson, as the only
such fish and game document is
sued by any State in the Union,
is ready for distribution. Accord
ing to announcement by Robert
H. Hill, state fish and game
warden, today, the first consign-
ment of these documents of hon.
or was shipped to 900 license deal
ers throughout the state to en-
able sportsman generally to Sc
cure these S. licenses covering all
the privileges of hunting and
fishing, before the distribution of
the other licenses is completed.
The licenses will be on sale al

ply is exhausted, at Zeidler's Hard
ware, local dealer.

ly brisk. Hundreds of applications
have already been received at State
Fish and Game headquarters. Sports.
men feel that possession of the new H.
cense and the displaying of the attrac-
tive windshield are significant. Pur-
chasers of this license which is prin-
ted On white linen with deer and elk
tags attached, are not required to buy
any other huntinga and fishing licen-
Sc during the year. The license folds
into the size of a card for uses of
identification in card cases and is
attractively printed in three colcrs.
Senator Ralph R. Tower of Lake
County, member of the Senate fish
and game committee for the last four
sessions, is the author of the Sports
mans License plan
when the original bill for needed
ven for the State Fish and Game
Department was passed by the House
it carried a flat increase of 50 cents
above the So which has prevailed for
the last 10 years." said Senator Tower.
1.-THE increase would have applied to
farmer and city sportsman alike.
The farmer is indirectly responsible
for raising more birds than the city
sportsman, hence it was my belief that
an increased license fee plan should
be equaalized. When the farmer de-
sires to hunt or fish he pays the same
license fee as his city brother, yet
game is propogated on land, despite

the fact that the game belongs to all
the people.
with this plan in mind, three re-
ldent licenses have been provided.
Rather than approve a flat increase,
it was agreed that reservations should
be made. Thousands of men working
in the mines, smelters, farms and ether
industries are fishermen and DO not
hunt big game. Hence, it was argued
that the farmer, the working mar and
youths should be permitted to fish
and hunt game birds at the So license
fee prevailing for the last 20 years.
Then 1t was provided that sportsmen
desirou. of hunting big game should
be required to pay an additional dollar
for a resident big game license with
elk and deer tag attached.
1.-THE law now provides that each
big game license holder must return
the post card attached to the new IL
cense, showing in what counties elk

other questions pertinent to proper
conservation. This information will
be of rare velue to the State Fish and
Game Department. The law declares
1t a misdemeanor for a big game hun

Then came the browning effort
the formulation of plans for the is
suance Of the Sportsman's License, to
sell for S5-which gives outstanding
sprotsmen all the privileges granted
under the other licenses and at the
same time provides him with the
wholesome opportunity of placing an
additional So in the Fish and Game
Fund to do something near his share
in aiding the restocking program of
fish and game to continue without
handicap. 1t is my prediction that
many hundreds of sportsmen who
have this problem at heart, will pur-
chase a Sportsman's License before
the opening of the fishing season."

is no certainty that Congress will con
tinue to be as liberal as il has been
in this session. The truth is that the
liberality Of the Seventy-first Cong
ress with regard to road appropria-
tions was based largely on the I'M
employment emergency which no one
expects will continue. We were able
to advance measures successfully
which had been hanging fire for
some time, based en- the need of fur
nishing employment through the con
struction of great public works. In
my Judgment. it is wisdom on our
part IN Montana to act now to provide
the necessary State funds to match
these appropriations, and not allow
them to lapse to our disadvantage.
| am pleased with the fact that the
initiative does not contemplate any
increase in the tax on gasoline. 1t is
to be regretted that there was any
misunderstanding on that point. The
states have very generally turned to
the plan of financing trunk road con-
.struction through the gasoline tax, and
the proposal we are considering in
Montana has already b~enadopted in
principle in a number of states. | as
sure you that | am favorable to it,
and that ! expect to be back in Mon
tana in time to vote for initiative
measure No. 35 in the belief that |
shall be benefiting Montana by doing
so.

FLAYS LAWYERS
FOR FAILING TO
CLEAN HOUSE
Former South Bend Mayor
Says Bar Association
Losing Respect.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
LAFAYETTE, July 10.-Indiana
lawyers heard Eli Seebirt, former
mayor of South Bend, criticise the
State Bar Association today as a
body which "exerts almost no in
fiuence for good upon its own mem
bers."
Seebirt advocated q compulsory
bar association, and Milo N. Feight-
'ner, Huntington, moved that COM
mittee be appointed to investigate
similar bodies in other states.
Advertising, ambulance chasing
and all other kinds Of solicitations
go on undisturbed and unchecked"
Seebirt asserted. "Exorbitant fees
are collected from the criminal class
under the pretense Of fixing honor
able judges and prosecutors. Sub
ornation Of perjury is not unusual.
while the bar of other states is
nghting for the increase of educa-
itional standards, lawyers Of stand
ing in Indiana are moving the adj
mission Of BARRIERS, clerks, constables
and factory workers that never saw
the inside of a high school and
never read single law book.
These and many more things are
happening because the profession
as an organization has neither the
power nor the will to cleanse itself.
I'VE are losing our leadership, we
are losing our position because we
deserve to lose 1t. We are losing the
respect of the public, because we
have no respect for our profession"
There is" Seebirt said, "a very
great need that the bar of Indiana
shall be organized upon a basis that
will give representation to the entire
membership Of the profession. A
voluntary bar has done little in Civ
ing leadership; a statutory self
governing bar can hardly do less"
The association amended its by
laws to conform its district organi-
cation to the new congressional
plan.
Memorial exercises were held in
memory Of w. w. Miller, Gary,
former president of the association,
and Daniel w. Sims, Lafayette.

ORGANIZING ARMY
Announce Purchase Of Gunboats
and 90 Planes in Addition to

BY the Associated Press.
HONGKONG, June 27.-Advices from
Canton today said Southern insurgents
were organizing an army to invade
Fukien Province with the cities of Annoy
and Foochow as detectives of the drive.
Hsu Shun-Cni, commander in chief
Of the Kwangtung armies until he was
expelled by the Russian dictator
Borodin in 1927, was said to be leader
of the Canton army. He had been in
retirement until the recent revolt OF
Southern China leaders against Presi-
dent Chang Kai-Shek and the Nanking
government.
The Canton insurgents announced
the purchase of four gunboats from
the japanese government and. has also
placed an order for $4,000, 900 in mill
tary supplies with a Japanese firm.
The Cantonese were reported making
extensive purchases Of munitions abroad
estimated to total IS 200, 900. The pur-
chase included 20 airplanes, in addition
to 10 American planes which were re-
ported to have arrived recently.
The insurgents today started an army
toward Schuchow as result Of reports
that Nationalist army was moving in
southwark from Sinfeng. However. 1t
was simultaneously reported by Canton
authorities that the commanders OF the
Nationalist government army had re-
signed and Joined the insurgents. An
other report said that an air squadron,
sent from NanlSing to reconnoiter, had
reached Annoy where it had joined
forces with the Southerners.
