REPORT OP THE PISH AND GAME COMMISSION. 117 



is measured by the sentiment of the people toward the enforcement of 

 that particular class of laws. The large percentage of convictions in 

 fish and game violations indicates most strongly the growing sentiment 

 of the people toward conservation of the fish and game of this state and 

 their strong desire for the strict enforcement of the laws pertaining 

 thereto. 



In a large percentage of cases fines are imposed and in some instances 

 jail sentences without any alternative are inflicted on violators, which 

 shows the increased cooperation between the commission and the justices 

 of the peace in the enforcement of the fish and game laws. 



Eespectfully submitted. 



Robert D. Duke, 

 Attorney for the Board. 

 Dated : October 20, 1916.
