The fees paid to the fish and game commission are not paid by a coterie of cushion chair sports men, members of some small league that assumes to speak for the hunt ers and fishermen of this state; they are paid by thousands of sportsmen who are not Interested In politics, but in the protection and preserva tion of our wild life." politicians Hit "Last night we had the spectacle of politicians appearing before one of our committees for the purpose of defeating house bill No. 1 politicians who have been milking the fund dur ing the past four years. These gen tlemen defended their action but of fered not one word In Justification of their conduct. "The fish and gama funds must, and will, go to the propagation of fish and game; they will go to foed the fish, not the politicians. The day of politics, waste and extravange Is past. You and I aro pledged to cor rect all such abuses. I propose to keep that pledge. "I have no desire to divert the funds of any board or commission, I aim only to conserve them for In tended use. I Insist, however, that the free and uncontrolled spending of such funds muat cease; that sue If expenditures should be controlled by a higher authority; that the require menta of all such boards and com- mlaslons should be disclosed In ad vance and properly budgeted.
