REPORT FROM MONTANA. 



Speech of Hon. W. F. Scott, State Game 

 Warden, at the 6th annual meeting of the 

 L. A. S. : 



Mr. President and Gentlemen : Montana, 

 as you all know, is one of the largest States 

 in the Union, having an area of about 143,- 

 000 square miles. I have the honor of be- 

 ing the Warden of that State. Previous to 

 1901 we had a complete game law, as near- 

 ly every State has had, but with absolutely 

 no provision for enforcement except 

 through peace officers, and, of course, you 

 know what interest constables, policemen 

 and such officers take in the enforcement 

 of game laws. In 1901 a bill was introduced 

 in our Legislature providing for a depart- 

 ment of fish and game. It passed, with an 

 assessment of i-ioth of a mill on all the 

 taxable property of the State, for a game 

 protective fund. That gives us a revenue of 

 about $20,000 a year, and with that are 

 placed the license fees collected from non- 

 residents. This license is $25 for hunting 

 large game, and $15 for hunting small game. 

 There are also placed in this fund all fines 

 collected by this department ; so we have a 

 large amount of money in our fund, but 

 we can not gain access to it. 



The number of deputies provided for by 

 this bill is 8. This does not include the 

 State Game Warden, but the State Game 

 Warden has 8 deputies and they are paid 

 $100 a month and allowed their expenses 

 while traveling out of their own districts. 

 The State is divided into 8 districts, and 

 these average about 15,000 to 18,000 

 square miles to the man. The deputy 

 must pay his own expenses while 

 traveling in his own district. The law is 

 lame. The fund keeps multiplying as the 

 years go on, and the Legislature will no 

 doubt wipe out the i-ioth mill tax. 



I have been worrying a good deal as to 

 how to get at this surplus (laughter), and
