ALIENS. 99 



Various measures have been taken to meet the alien problem. Some 

 States have printed their game laws in foreign languages and posted 

 them in conspicuous places. Others have instructed their wardens 

 to explain them to foreigners. The game commissions of several States 

 have recommended drastic legislation. New York now prohibits the- 

 possession or carrying of firearms by aliens in any public place. 

 Alabama, Florida, Louisiana, Maine, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, 

 Texas, Utah, and Wyoming require aliens, or unnaturalized foreign- 

 born residents, to pay the same fee for a hunting license that is exacted 

 of a nonresident. Massachusetts has established a special fee of $15 

 for unnaturalized foreign-born residents who desire to hunt, while 

 nonresident aliens are excluded from the privilege altogether; Con- 

 necticut requires an alien license of $15, while the fee for the ordinar}" 

 nonresident license is only $10; California an alien license of $25 and 

 nonresident license of $10. Washington requires an alien to pay $50. 

 The problem is so recent that it is perhaps too soon to look for its final 

 solution, but doubtless the earnest efforts being made to solve it will 

 show definite results before long, and such lawless practices will be 

 checked, if not entirely suppressed.
