required of any alien who shall be the holder of the $25.00 fish and game license 

 required by law. The $25.00 fish and game license referred to in this act was 

 the license required by Section 1976, Revised Codes, as amended by Section 2 of 

 Chapter 130, 1909 Session Laws, to be procured by an alien desiring to fish and 

 hunt. By subdivision 4 of Chapter 1 of Chapter 173, 1917 Session Laws, a class 

 'D' license must be procured by an alien in order to hunt and fish, the fee therefor 

 being $50.00. This latter act in express terms repeals Chapter 130, 1909 Session 

 Laws, so that the license fee for the general hunting and fishing license required 

 of an alien is now $50.00 instead of $25.00. The result is that no gun license is 

 required of an alien who holds a class 'D' license issued in accordance with the 

 provisions of subdivision 4 of Section 1 of Chapter 173. Session Laws of 1917. 

 but an alien who does not hold such class 'D' license must procure the gun licensb 

 required by Chapter 38, 1909 Session Laws, before he can lawfully have possession 

 of any gun, pistol or other firearm. 



Status of the Cree. 



"A Cree Indian is a ward of the Canadian Government and an alien and 

 should be treated exactly the same as any other alien. If such an Indian is the 

 holder of a class 'D' hunting and fishing license he is entitled to the possession 

 of a gun, pistol or other firearm without having the license provided for in 

 Chapter 38, 1909 Session Laws, but if he is not the holder of such class 'D' license, 

 then, before he can lawfully have possession of any gun, pistol or other firearm, 

 he must procure the gun license required by said Chapter 38, Session Laws of 1909. 



"You should not, however, overlook the fact that a Cree Indian, as an alien, 

 is entitled, upon the payment of the proper fee therefor, to a class 'B' license pro- 

 vided for by Section 1 of Chapter 173, Session Laws of 1917, which will permit 

 him to take fish, but not to hunt game."
