Questioned constitutionality of game warden funding in Guthrie
In Guthrie Oklahoma June 26 a legal opinion to J E Askew state game warden expresses serious doubt about the constitutionality of a year old fish and game law. The act authorizes warrants on the game protection fund without a specific appropriation and sets salaries for the warden and deputies paid from the fund. The opinion says the warden may appoint up to eight deputies but their pay and expenses must come from licenses fees or penalties. If funds are insufficient they must be prorated. All fees must be turned over to the state treasury as part of the game protection fund, but the constitutionality of the warrants provision is in doubt until the legislature enacts explicit use of the fund.
