GAME BOARD DICTUM ROILS SPORTSMEN The Associated Sporismen of California today charged. the California Fish and Game (Commission witn having acted in a dictatorial manner when it reduced the daily trout limit from 25 to 15 fish in disregard of the expressed desires of practically every -sportsmen’s organization in the state. The association said the meeting Jan. 28, 29 and 30 at Los Angeles when the fishing code was changed in six instances by the commission was a waste of time and money for sportsmen since the actions of the commission were based on the theor ies of one man. Alan Taft chief of the bureau of fish conservation. Proof of the contention the association pointed out was the fact that the commission on Jan. 22 announced its approval of seven recommendations submitted at the early January session at San Francisco. It changed its decision in only one incomending a 15 trout limit for souany streams to fly fishermen only. President Gus Gustafson who represented northern (California and sportsmen’s organizations at the Los Angeles meeting said that every organization present concurred in recocmending a 15 trout limit for southern Caliornia a—1/5_ limit forthe Sierras as far as Truckee® and the rest of the state, mostly coastal streams to retain the 25 trout limit now existing. The association feels that the commissioners paid with sportsmen’s money are supposed to act as judges listening to arguments with an unbiased mind and gect in accordance with democratic prodedures. The only argument for a 15 trout limit presented by Taft was that it been in agreement. Authoritarian decisions will never serve to satisfy sportsmen the: association believes. If the commission is to base its regula'tions on the theories of one man then it is not necessary for sportsmen’s license money to be used in holding commsision hearings nor for sportsmen to spend their.own time and money traveling long distances to attend such hearings. The actions of the commission at Los Angeles were prejudiced to the friendly. relations between sportsmen and the division of fish and ‘game and cast a shadow on the question of retention of the regulatory powers bill which must be reenacted in 1946 by the state legislature ‘tthe association’s directors feel. The associated sportsmen of California supported AB 397 the regulatory powers bill at the last legislature with the idea that the commission would be able to handle fish and game matters more efificiently than the Jegislature. However it was believed the commission would cooperate with the sportsmen in a democratic fashion. This was not the ease at Los Angeles. Action is necessary now to insure future commission actions conform to the desires of sportsmen. r ——_ es GRASS VALLEY (Nevada Co.), Feb. 11—Several members of the University of California Agricultural -Exttension Service will meet with the farmers of Nevada Counitty Thursday in the Veterans Memorial Building to hold am all day farm planning session on Wednesday February 13.

It would ' temporarily suspend California’s 55 . mile per hour prima facie speed law j;and replace it for a year with a flat . gspeed limit of 50 miles per hour. At first glance it would appear that the measure asks only for a five mile per hour reduction. Actually it ‘would accomplish much more than that, because. interpretspeed law the courts have ruled that speeds as high ag 70 and 75 miles per hour and evem faster are lawful under “favorable circumstances’’— light traffic, good weather, clear visibility and straight open highway. The proposed temporary change in the law would fix an absolute maximum of 50 miles on hour for open highway driving in any circumstnaces. : The vast majority of cars on the road today are old, mechanically deficient and equipped with tires which in most instances have been recapcapped more ‘than once. For such earg there can be no favorable circumstances justifying high speed driving. parent. that neither cars nor tires ean ‘be replaced with new equipment . for many months to come. Hence the need for holding speed down to a level more conistent with safety lis obvious.
