Vlll PREPACK. 



I would sugrg-est that, instead of license, a tax of about id. 

 per shot, which could be imposed on g-unpowder, would raise far 

 more revenue. It would be real "fiscal reform." And those 

 who shot most would pay most. 



But if licenses are insisted on, why not license the gun, and 

 have a small disc inserted in the heel plate, so that anyone could 

 see at a giance if the license were paid? 



I trust the new Wildfowlers' Association of Great Britain and 

 Ireland may be able to do some good by endeavouring- to get 

 the various Wildfowl Protection Acts amended and consolidated. 



There should be one close time for all the kingxlom.
