WORKING ON NEW LAW. Bill Seeking Better Preservation for Indiana Fish and Game mw. Amendment to the Indiana fish and game laws so as to conform to federal regulations, particularly in regard to migratory birds, and so as to correspond better with the natural habits of wild life so their numbers may be preserved is sought in a bill to be introduced in the .Indiana senate by Senators L. G. Bradford, republican, St. Joseph and Marshall, and Claude S. Steele, republican, LaPorte and Starke. : The measure is supported by the izaak Walton League of Indiana, of which Senator Bradford is president and Senator Steele is legislative chair man, the Indiana Fisn and Game association, the Southern Indiana Fox Hunters association and the state department of conservation. It contains policies adopted at a conferénce of the four organizations recently, except for a desired legislative enactment regarding pollution of streams and reforestation. For Übniversal Law.

A universal hunting and fishing license law for Indiana would be adopt ed by enactment of the BradfordSteele bill and would require a huntIng and fishing license of every resident of the state engaging in the outdoor sports, who is above the age of eighteen. The license fee for residents of the state would be $1 on hunting and fishing. The non-resident would be required to pay 35 for a fishing license and $15.50 for hunting license. Fees on alien hunting and fishing license would be $15.50. Onstead of expiring one year from the date of issuance, the universal license would expire December 31. The closed season for all fishing would be lengthened two months by the new bill, extending from March 1 to June 15, instead of extending as now from May 1 to June 15. ‘ Musclq fishing, at present an unlicensed occupation in Indiana, would become licensed under the bill at the annual fee of s§s for resident and $25 for non-resident fishermen. It is estimated that muscel fishermen from out of the state ply their occupation in Indiana streams to the loss of thousands of dollars of state resources ta Indiana residents, according to the state departiment of conservation. In regulation of muscle fishing the bill would establish a closed season on the occupation, which would correspond to the closed season on fishing, for the reason that muscle fishing ig said by experts to interfere with the spawning season of fish. 4 The closed season for rabbit hunting also would be lengthened by the bill to extend from January 11 to September 1 instead of to July 1. ) Season to be Lengthened. The closed season on all squirrel would be lengthened one month by the bill, extending from November 1 to August 31, instead of August 1. The size and bag limits on fish would be changed from their present figures. The length of fish would be jrequired to be longer and bag limits would be smaller in most instances The bag limit would be six on large mouth and black bass and the length, would be fixed at 12 inches. The length on pickerel would be fixed at fifteen inches; on crappies at six inch es; on rock bass, six inches; on blue- | gills five inches, and on yellow perch seven inches. The bag limit on bluegills would be fixed at twenty-five for a day.
