hunter's license law be re-enacted, and the
proceeds specifically devoted to the preservation and increase of
game.

That a force of regular salaried wardens be provided to enforce the
laws.

That the bag limit on quail should be 10 per day or 40 per season,
instead of 12 and 96; and on ruffed grouse it should be 3 per day
(as in New York) or 12 per season. One wild turkey per day, or three
per season is quite enough for one man. The visible supply will not
justify the existing limit of two and six.

WISCONSIN:

In spite of the fierce fight made in 1910-11 by the saloon-element
game-shooters of Milwaukee for the control of the wild-life situation,
and the repeal of the best protective laws of the state, the Army of
Defense once more defeated the Allied Destroyers, and drove them off the
field. Once more it was proven that when The People are aroused, they
are abundantly able to send the steam roller over the enemies of wild
life.

Alphabetically, Wisconsin may come near the end of the roll-call; but by
downright merit in protection, she comes mighty close to the head of the
list of states. Her slate of "Work to be done" is particularly clean;
and she has our most distinguished admiration. Her force of game wardens
is not a political-machine force. It amounts to something. The men who
get within it undergo successfully a civil service examination that
certainly separates the sheep from the goats. For particulars address
Dr. T.S. Palmer, Department of Agriculture, Washington.

According to the standards that have been dragging along previous to
this moment, Wisconsin has a good series of game laws. But the hour for
a Reformation of ideas and principles has struck. We heard it first in
April, 1911. The wild life of America must not be exterminated according
to law, contrary to law, or in the absence of law! Wisconsin must take
a fresh grip on her game situation, or it will get away from her, after
all.

Not another prairie chicken or woodcock should be killed in
Wisconsin between 1912 and 1922. When any small bird becomes so
scarce that the bag limit needs to be cut down to five, as it now is
for the above in Wisconsin, it is time to stop for ten years, before
it is too late.

Wisconsin should immediately busy herself about the creation of bird
and game preserves.

For goodness sake, Wisconsin, stop killing squirrels as "game!" You
ought to know better--and you do! Leave
