Sanders on Fishing
Dear Editor:
In . a recent issue of the Press I
noticed an article regarding the fish
ing law in Macon county. I would
like to quote from this article so
that what I have to say may be bet
ten understood.
"Under the law as pased all fish
ermen who use rod and reel will
nave to ODiam a license at a cosi 01
$1.10." Of course this applies to
'Macon county citizens who fish in
iMacon county streams, as the writer
goes on to say. Quoting further;
"On petition from the county com
missioners the law can be made to
apply to all kinds of tackle used."
Here we find that we have a law
so flexible that if necessary it can
be bent in most any shape required.
But to quote furtehr; "In other words
the boy of Macon who uses a cane
and sink hook can be made to buy
a license." "It is understood that the
commissioners will be asked to re
quest the state department of con
servation and development to make
the law in Macon county applicable
to all kinds of fishing.". Should they
do this no one would be permittee
to fish without a license."
It is amazing to me to think that
any rational minded person would
suggest to our county commisisoners
such a rash act. when any one know-
that it is an impossibility lor the
average boy to equip himself with the
necesary license to fish. A; dollar
and a dime is not found on every
bush that grows over" the country
side. In one family there' are seven
boys, in another there are five boys,
in another there are three boys, and
in another there are two boys.' In
the first case it would require a sum
of $7.70 for all of the seven boys to
fish even one day each in the year.
Likewise the five boys and the three
boys, In no case could one boy
use another's badge to fish:
Before the county authorities take
such an unseemly step they should
consider these few facts. To make
the little boys of Macon icounty buyi
license to fish with cane. , and sink
