Victor Anderson, urging that Nebras ka retain the Upland : Game Stamp, that the fish and hunting license tie Increased in propor tion to the needs of the State Game, Forestation and Park commission in order that it might function effectively and efficiently. It is generally agreed that this department had not been given an opportunity to exhibit the benefits of game propagation since the game stamp money has been withheld from use by the commission. "In regard to the increase in license fees, the association re cognizes that: (1) the state is in the lowest bracket in 48 states in cost of license fees. (2) license fees have not been increased in past years: in pro portion to administrative costs. (3) Until license fees are in creased hunting and fishing fa cilities will remain substandard and an increase in license fees will extend direct benefits to the hunter and fisherman in the amount of $3 for every $1 in vested by matching federal funds. 1 Cass County's Greatest Newspaper The Plattsmouth Journal SETS, HALLMARK CARDS.
