HAS DALLAS A JOB,
OR IS HE ABOLISHED?
They are "now wondering at the state
capitol If A. P. Dallas, who Is fish com
missioner under the old law which
makes him one of the field-force of the
department of agriculture, still has a
Job. . .
The recent ruling of the court of
appeals pronouncing the new game and
Ash law exhaustive on the subject nat
urally suggests that the propagation of
Ash as*conducted by the agricultural
department should really come under
the Jurisdiction of the recently created
department of game and Ash.
Tne statutes giving the agricultural
department power to stock streams with
Ash and undertake the propagation of
the certain species of the finny tribe
were passed several years ago and car
ried an appropriation of some 8500. A.
F. Dallas was appointed to the Job and
has held It ever since.
The game and fish law was passed
by the last session of the legislature,
creating a game apd Ash department
and providing for the appointment of a
cnmmiMfeoner and cfaunty and deputy
wardens. It was understood that'Its
passage repealed all former gamo and
fish laws and conAIcting laws. - This
the court of appeals has held.
Whether the Ash propagation' statute
placing the Ash breeding under the di
rection of the department of agricul
ture Is abrogated by the new law Is
a question that tho courts will hive if
crack.
