An estimate made a few years ago, this book 
goes on to say, pointed out that in one year nearly 
eleven hundred non-resident anglers purchased 
licenses for fishing with rod and line in the 
Province. About two hundred were salmon fish¬ 
ermen, who paid $25 each for their licenses, 
whether fishing on the open salmon waters of 
the Province, or being lessees of government 
fishing rights, members of clubs holding such 
leases from the Province, or non-resident guests 
of clubs or of owners or lessees of salmon fish¬ 
ing rights. Nearly 400 non-residents, not lessees, 
paid $10 each for licenses to angle for other fish 
than salmon, while more than 500 non-resident 
anglers paid $5 for similar rights, the reduced 
cost being due to the fact that the holders were 
lessees of Crown fishing rights, or members of 
clubs. The total amount of government revenue 
from angling licenses was thus nearly $11,000, 
and leases of angling waters brought $50,000 
more. The expenditures of non-residents while 
in the Province add $100,000 to the money value 
of Quebec’s inland fisheries, making a total of 
$200,000. Hunting licenses and money spent by 
this class of sportsmen bring the total up to 
$230,400. 
These figures, compiled some time ago, are 
thought to be far below present conditions. One 
club, for instance, the Laurentian, has expended 
nearly $1,000,000 in the Province. It has been 
paying out annually $30,000 in wages alone, and 
provisions and other expenditures amount to be¬ 
tween $12,000 and $20,000 a year. These figures 
do not include the amounts paid out to the rail¬ 
ways, hotels and merchants of the Province, 
which are estimated to amount, for the last twen¬ 
ty-five years, to over $300,000 additional. 
It must not be supposed that all the wild land 
of the Province is for lease to sportsmen. Not 
every visiting sportsman, nor yet every resident 
of the Province, is a member of a fish and game 
club, nor can all of either class afford to lease 
a private preserve. For the use of these indi¬ 
vidual sportsmen, it is planned to reserve large 
tracts of territory, especially in the newer parts 
of the Province, which will be open to all an¬ 
glers and hunters in the open season, without 
fees of any kind to residents of the Province, 
except for tags for the shipment of game; while 
the non-resident license fee will be the only 
dharge upon non-resident sportsmen. 
The different clubs and private lessees of the 
Province were asked to furnish reports of their 
expenditures and photographs of their camps, 
or other sporting views upon the territories leased 
by them, and a large amount of this material is 
utilized in an interesting manner in this volume. 
CAL’S PROBLEMS OF PROTECTION.

command of the state fish and game commis 
sion. As long as the hunter and fisherman pro¬ 
vide the entire capital for fish and game work, 
it must follow that they are the first to be con¬ 
sidered in legislating along fish and game lines. 
Now this cannot be considered “class legislation’’ 
under any constructon of ethics. In any busi¬ 
ness, when a few people furnish the cash to 
run it, they should be the primary consideration 
in the modus operandi of the concern. The 
stockholders of any enterprise have to be con¬ 
sidered, else there will be a lack of capital. 
It certainly follows that the fisherman and 
hunter are the primary considerations next in 
line to the game itself.. If we are to legislate en¬ 
tirely against them and for the -man who does 
not, in any manner, contribute toward the Fish 
and Game Fund, then we must change our tac¬ 
tics in obtaining capital. We then would have to 
collect a tax of some sort, either upon a per- 
capita basis or with a direct tax upon property, 
both real and personal. 
The legality of the license system has been 
upheld in every sense in the state courts, and in 
the Supreme Court of the United States; but 
the question is an open one whether California 
can change her system to direct taxation when 
the courts have decided that “the right to hunt 
and kill game is not an inherent one. It is a boon
