GAME LAWS FOR 1913. 9 
to the department oF"sea and shore fisheries, Wyoming authorized 
the appointment of employees of the department of agriculture as 
deputy game wardens without bond or salary, and Wisconsin author- 
ized the State warden to assign deputies for educational work in 
regard to fish and game. The service has been reorganized in several 
States. In Montana, South Dakota, and Illinois commissions, instead 
of single officers, were formed in charge of the work of game preserva- 
tion; in Ohio an agricultural commission was established to replace 
several State departments and the game warden department placed 
under its charge: in Connecticut the personnel of the fish and game 
commission was increased to include a member from each of the 
eight counties of the State, while Xew Hampshire was the only State 
which abolished its fish and game commission and placed the work 
in charge of a single officer. Delaware established the resident and 
nonresident license system, thus providing funds for the operation 
and maintenance of the game commission created in 1911. Arkansas, 
Mississippi, Nevada, and Virginia are now the only States which 
have no State officials in charge of the work of game protection. 
Increase in salaries of game officials were granted hi several States. 
In Arizona the compensation of the warden was increased from 
$1,200 to $1,800, with an allowance of SI, 000 for traveling expenses; 
in Iowa from $1,600 to $2,200; in Utah from $1,800 to $2,400: in 
Wisconsin from $2,000 to $2,500; and in Illinois the president of 
the commission was given $4,000. Deputies were also provided 
for hi some cases. Arizona created the position of office deputy at 
a salary of $1,200, provided that warden salaries and expenses should 
be paid from the general fund of the State, and authorized the ap- 
pointment of such per diem deputies as might be necessary. Vermont 
appropriated $2,500 for clerical assistance for the biennial period, 
and Utah increased the salary of the chief deputy from SI, 2 00 to 
$1,400, Washington from $1,500 to SI, 800, and Wyoming authorized 
the appointment of a clerk in the warden department at 81,200 a 
year and increased the compensation of county wardens from S3 to 
$5 per day. Iowa authorized the appointment of three assistant 
game wardens at $1,200 per annum each: Xorth Dakota increased 
the warden force by authorizing the appointment of one regular 
deputy for each judicial district instead of four for each commission 
district, while South Dakota provided for the appointment of three 
salaried wardens and five assistant per diem game wardens in lieu 
of the former county wardens. In Oklahoma the salaried warden 
system of 12 deputies was abolished, thus limiting the service to 
assistant wardens, who serve on a fee basis and without other 
compensation.
