KEEP THE LICENSE UP
(Stroller’s Weekly)
One of the principal assets ol Alas
i is her big game, moose, caribou,
'er, sheep, goats and bears, and ev
■v effort should be made ;o protec:
along lines of reason and common
>nse—protect it for Alaskans and for
atsiders, provided the latter are wir
ig to pay for the privilege of hunt
lg and killing it. Alaska and the
ukon Territory constitute the best
unting preserves on the American
mtinent, and the asset should be tes
ted and conserved.
A few weeks ago this section of
daska was visited by a big game
unter and true sport, Mr. Adam
ireede of Hastings, Nebraska, where
e is owner and editor oi a newspa
er. Mr. Breede had a splendid time
,-hile here and managed to secure
ome big game. On his return home
ie wrote and published an article in
lis paper on “Game and Preserves,”
i good article in many respects and in
vhicli among other things the follow
ng appeared:
“Another thing that hunters will
be vitally interested in is the fact
that sportsmen of Alaska are going
to make a strong appeal to Con
gress to have the price for a license
to hunt in that Territory changed
from fifty dollars to ten or fifteen
dollars, so as to give the average
man a chance at the big game hunt
ing up there.”
We had not heard that any of the
“sportsmen of Alaska” are dissatisfied
with the present license for hunters.
The sportsmen of Alaska, bona fide
residents, are not required to have a
license for hunting and that they
would advocate reduction in the cost
of license as suggested by 7,1 r. Breede
and permit outsiders to come here and
slaughter game at nominal cost is- noi
likely. Mr. Breede’s idea that the av
erage man should “have a chance at
the big game up there,” would be nice
for the “average man,” but very bad
for Alaska’s big game and very bad
for Alaskans themselves—if they de
sire to conserve their game.
A charge of $50 for a license for a
non-resident to hunt is not extortion
ate. Up to three years ago a license
to hunt big game in Yukon Territory,
Alaska’s next door neighbor, was $100
per year and three years ago the
amount was doubled. But after one
year at $200 it was restored to the
former amount, which is the cost of
a license at the present time and at
that price Yukon has all the big game
hunters the natural laws of game in
crease will stand without depleting
the supply. And what is good for
Yukon is good for Alaska. If the price
charged for a hunter’s license is

changed in any way, it should be
raised rather than lowered—raised to
$100—and at that charge there would
be as many non-resident hunters come
to Alaska as are commensurate with
our game supply. Give the average
man a chance at the big game and
there soon won’t be any big game for
Mr. Average or anybody else.
