H. H. Slayton 1 099 It is a well known fact that Congress and 



M. W. Carpenter 1,100 the Supreme Court have always regarded 



John Vigeart 1,101 the game existing in any State as belonging 



George C. Clark 1,102 to the people of that State, in their corpo- 



C. W. Pike 1,103 rate capacity, and Congress has heretofore 



G. T. Comins 1,104 declined to interfere with State rights ;n 



W. H. Gould ..1,105 the game, within the individual States. 



H. C. Brown 1,106 Mr. Shiras holds, however, that migratory 



H. C. Putnam 1,107 birds do not come within this definition and 



Herbert Osgood 1,108 that Congress may safely and justly assume 



H. K. Davidson 1,109 to protect such birds and to enact laws to 



F. R. Hammond 1,110 that end. 



Lewis Baker 1,1 ri Mr. Shiras is one of the most prominent 



Frank W. Bullard I,IP2 lawyers in Pennsylvania and for 20 years

E. A. Lamb J,n,4 constitutional law. He believes his position 



Walter N.-Cook i,ii-5 in this matter is thoroughly within the

G. F. Pickering 1,123 readers of Recreation who agree with this 



F. L. Olney 1,124 view are, therefore, earnestly advised and 



J. F. Caderette 1,125 urged to write their Senators and Congress-
