Excerpt from Hunting Licenses: Their History, Objects, and Limitations Two of the most important problems of practical game protection are how to enforce the laws and how to secure the funds necessary for the purpose. Without funds it is manifestly impossible either to pro vide or maintain the service required to carry the laws into effect; and if no serious effort is made to secure compliance with the law public interest in game protection flags until it becomes difficult to secure either appropriations or such legislation as will yield revenue for warden service. The most successful method of raising funds thus far devised is a system of licenses which in effect amounts to a direct tax on those who hunt. Several States depend almost entirely on some system of this kind for maintaining their warden service, and others receive from it important additions to their game protection funds. How important such a source of revenue may become can readily be appreciated from the fact that during the past year Maine collected license fees amounting to more' than Wisconsin and Illinois nearly In some States this money is derived principally from resident, in others from nonresident, licenses.
