PRESENT TENDENCIES 



The present tendency seems to be distinctly in the direc- 

 tion of charging both residents and non-residents a reason- 

 able fee for the privilege of fishing, and thus requiring 

 those who enjoy the sport of angling to contribute toward 

 the expense of keeping the streams stocked and patrolled. 

 Heretofore in some cases this expense has been met in 

 whole or in part by receipts from hunting licenses, but such 

 a policy is distinctly unfair to the sportsman and has not 

 met with favor. If the hunter is taxed for his sport it is no 

 more than fair that the fisherman should contribute some- 

 thing for his pleasure, and it is manifestly unjust that the 

 sportsman should be taxed for hunting and compelled to 

 carry the burden of stocking streams for which the fisherman 

 contributes nothing. It is perhaps to offset this objection 

 that the combination licenses have been adopted. 



Another equally important tendency seems to be in the 

 direction of reasonable fees and in the reduction of the high
