  landowners 
  to 
  hunt 
  on 
  their 
  property. 
  By 
  act 
  of 
  1885 
  a 
  fixed 
  fee 
  of 
  

   $25 
  was 
  imposed 
  for 
  the 
  license 
  and 
  also 
  a 
  fee 
  of 
  $25 
  for 
  each 
  nonresi- 
  

   dent 
  hand 
  employed, 
  and 
  in 
  1888 
  these 
  fees 
  were 
  increased 
  to 
  $500 
  and 
  

   $100, 
  respectively, 
  thus 
  raising 
  the 
  cost 
  to 
  a 
  point 
  far 
  above 
  that 
  of 
  

   any 
  other 
  market-hunting 
  license. 
  Neither 
  of 
  these 
  statutes 
  appears 
  

   in 
  the 
  code 
  of 
  1902, 
  and 
  South 
  Carolina 
  is 
  at 
  present 
  without 
  a 
  non- 
  

   resident 
  license 
  law. 
  

  

  In 
  1899 
  Georgia 
  (Acts 
  of 
  1899, 
  part 
  1, 
  p. 
  96) 
  adopted 
  a 
  law 
  author- 
  

   izing 
  a 
  $25 
  market-hunting 
  license, 
  but 
  provided 
  that 
  the 
  act 
  was 
  

   not 
  to 
  be 
  in 
  force 
  in 
  any 
  county 
  until 
  recommended 
  by 
  the 
  grand 
  jury 
  

   of 
  that 
  county. 
  

  

  Oregon, 
  the 
  only 
  other 
  State 
  to 
  adopt 
  the 
  market-hunting 
  license, 
  

   passed 
  a 
  law 
  in 
  1901 
  making 
  it 
  unlawful 
  for 
  any 
  person 
  not 
  a 
  resident 
  

   of 
  the 
  State 
  to 
  hunt 
  any 
  game 
  for 
  market 
  purposes 
  without 
  having 
  

   first 
  obtained 
  a 
  $10 
  license 
  from 
  the 
  State 
  game 
  and 
  forestry 
  warden. 
  

   (Laws 
  of 
  1901, 
  p. 
  231, 
  sec. 
  38.) 
  

  

  Ity 
  an 
  act 
  passed 
  in 
  1902 
  Louisiana, 
  following 
  the 
  lead 
  of 
  Missouri 
  

   and 
  Arkansas, 
  adopted 
  absolute 
  prohibition 
  in 
  the 
  case 
  of 
  nonresident 
  

   hunters. 
  This 
  act, 
  however, 
  was 
  replaced 
  in 
  1901 
  by 
  a 
  $10 
  nonresident 
  

   hunting 
  license 
  and 
  a 
  $25 
  market-hunting 
  license. 
  Thus 
  at 
  the 
  present 
  

   time 
  the 
  restrictions 
  on 
  market 
  hunting 
  in 
  the 
  South 
  have 
  developed 
  

   into 
  absolute 
  prohibition 
  in 
  Arkansas 
  and 
  Missouri, 
  into 
  market 
  

   licenses 
  in 
  Georgia 
  and 
  Louisiana, 
  a 
  market 
  license 
  and 
  modified 
  non- 
  

   resident 
  license 
  in 
  Tennessee, 
  and 
  the 
  abolition 
  of 
  all 
  licenses 
  in 
  South 
  

   Carolina. 
  The 
  moderate 
  market 
  license 
  of 
  Oregon 
  remains 
  unchanged. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  to 
  be 
  observed 
  that 
  the 
  easternmost 
  of 
  these 
  States, 
  South 
  Caro- 
  

   lina 
  and 
  Georgia, 
  adopted 
  the 
  county 
  license 
  system, 
  and 
  that 
  there 
  

   seems 
  to 
  have 
  been 
  a 
  marked 
  inclination 
  toward 
  $25 
  as 
  the 
  amount 
  of 
  

   the 
  fee. 
  

  

  GENERAL 
  LICENSES. 
  

  

  The 
  general 
  license 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  had 
  its 
  origin 
  in 
  Canada. 
  The 
  

   same 
  feeling 
  of 
  discrimination 
  so 
  conspicuous 
  in 
  the 
  game 
  legislation 
  

   of 
  the 
  United 
  States 
  existed 
  in 
  Canada, 
  but 
  instead 
  of 
  manifesting 
  

   itself 
  in 
  absolute 
  prohibition 
  it 
  there 
  took 
  the 
  more 
  liberal 
  form 
  of 
  a 
  

   system 
  of 
  high 
  licenses 
  for 
  hunting 
  big 
  game. 
  New 
  Brunswick 
  

   apparently 
  led 
  the 
  way 
  about 
  1878, 
  and 
  was 
  followed 
  b}^ 
  Quebec 
  in 
  

   1882, 
  Nova 
  Scotia 
  in 
  1884, 
  Ontario 
  in 
  1888, 
  Newfoundland 
  in 
  1889, 
  

   British 
  Columbia 
  and 
  Manitoba 
  in 
  1890, 
  and 
  the 
  Northwest 
  Territories 
  

   in 
  1893. 
  The 
  license 
  sytem 
  thus 
  extended 
  throughout 
  Canada, 
  except 
  

   Prince 
  Edward 
  Island, 
  Yukon, 
  and 
  the 
  Unorganized 
  Territories. 
  Fees 
  

   varying 
  from 
  $20 
  to 
  $25 
  were 
  charged 
  in 
  some 
  cases 
  for 
  big 
  game 
  

   only, 
  but 
  in 
  others 
  for 
  hunting 
  game 
  of 
  any 
  kind. 
  

  

  In 
  1895 
  general 
  licenses 
  found 
  favor 
  in 
  the 
  Northwestern 
  States, 
  and 
  

   laws 
  undoubtedly 
  modeled 
  after 
  those 
  of 
  the 
  Canadian 
  Provinces 
  were
