198 BULLETIN OF THE BUREAU OF FISHERIES. 
Still another question that appeals to many of us and which could be 
adjusted through national legislation is nonresident discrimination in the mat- 
ter of rod or gun license which exists in some of our States and which is unpa- 
triotic and selfish, contrary to the spirit of the Constitution, and repellant to 
every free-born American who loves his entire country. To the true sports- 
man there are no divisional lines, and his neighbor from afar is as welcome to 
fish in his home waters as the citizen of his own county. Would it be asking 
too much of Congress that a congressional committee on game and game fishes 
be established? Assuredly it would not be too much to ask that the subject 
of game and game fishes be incorporated in the work of some existing congres- 
sional committee. 
I have tried to restrain my enthusiasm and be as brief as possible, while 
according my subject at least some scant consideration. I have viewed the 
situation only as it exists in the United States. Surely our good friends from 
the older countries can give us great help and advise us wisely from their store 
of knowledge acquired through their longer experience.
