and doves should be perpetually protected.

The State Game Commission should have power to close the shooting
seasons on any species of game in any locality, whenever a species
is threatened with extinction.

The sale of native wild game, from all sources, should be
permanently stopped, by a Bayne law.

The use of automatic, "autoloading" and pump shot guns in hunting
should be perpetually barred.

PENNSYLVANIA:

As a game protecting state, Pennsylvania is a close second to New York
and Massachusetts. She protects all native game from sale; _she has the
courage to prohibit aliens from owning guns; she bars out automatic
shot-guns in hunting_; she makes refuges for deer, and feeds her quail
in winter, and she permits the killing of no female deer, or fawns with
horns less than three inches in length. Her splendid State Game
Commission is fighting hard for a hunter's license law, and will win the
fight for it at the next session of the legislature (1913).

But there are certain things that Pennsylvania should do:

She should stop all spring shooting. She must stop killing doves,
blackbirds, wild turkeys, sandpipers, and all the squirrels save the
red squirrel.

She should give all her shore birds a rest of at least five years,
for recuperation.

She should enact a comprehensive Dutcher plumage law, stopping the
sale of aigrettes.

She should provide a resident license to furnish her Game Commission
with adequate funds to carry on its work and exterminate
game-killing vermin.

RHODE ISLAND:

Little Rhody needs some good, small bag limits; for now (1912) she
has none!

She should enact a Bayne law, a Pennsylvania law against aliens,
and a New Jersey law against the automatic and pump guns.

She should stop killing the beautiful wood-duck, and gray squirrel.

She should stop all spring shooting of waterfowl.

SOUTH CAROLINA:

She should save her game while she still has some to save.

First of all, stop spring shooting; secondly, enact a Bayne law.

In the name of mystery, who is there in South Carolina who desires
to kill grackles? And why?

And where is the gentleman sportsman who has come down to killing
foolish and tame little doves for "sport?" Stop it at once, for the
credit of the state.

Enact a dollar resident license law and thus provide adequate funds
for game protection.

South Carolina bag limits are all 50 per
