Excerpt from California Fish and Game, Vol. 1: Conservation of Wild Life Through Education; April, 1915

Not many years ago there was no provision for the payment of wars dens in any of the states. They were supposed to secure what recom pense they could from a portion of the fines for violation against the game laws. The moiety system, so called, has never been a success in any of the states where it has been tried - it was merely a first step. Then provision was made for paying salaries at so much per day or per month, but these salaries were small. A warden was not supposed to be worth as much as a common laborer. Salaries of $30 or $50 a month were regarded as ample for the arduous duty of protecting the game and risking a man's life in enforcing the laws. Later on, more onerous duties were imposed, more was expected of the wardens, and in some cases fairly respectable salaries were provided. Today, speak ing generally, wardens' salaries range from $60 a month, or a day (fortunately very few states pay as little as that but usually at least a month, or a day), up to $125 a month or a year.
