The LaDham Menhaden Bill.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: The
announcement, which | see is made, that
the House Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries would make favorable re-
port on the second Lapham bill is at least
premature, if not absolutely incorrect.
The committee, after adjourning from
week to week on account of some absent
members. at last found eight members
present, five of whom favored the bill,
and in that condition had a vote upon it.
OF course there was then two majority
for the bill. But five members were alb
sent A motion to reconsider is pending
and it is believed that in full committee
the bill will receive its quietus as the for
mer one did
The effect of the present bill, like the for
mer one. would be to take away State juris-
diction over our shore fisheries and open
them to all the irresponsible fishermen
who would be anxious only to put money
into their pockets and would care moth
inc for the preservation of our fish.
The movement to repeal our State laws
is made by the menhaden oil men, who de

rivers and by the use Of purse seines

thize with the opponents of such vicious
legislation as is proposed in this bill
Our State has wisely recognized the
value OF our fisheries to our people who
engage in fishing. and indeed to the State
at large. and it has very properly and
wisely le.islated for their protection. \ ct
with all the vigilance of its present able
and faithful Fish commissioners and War

Like many other suggestions from the

the reverse of this. and that the small
property owner pays a much larger tax in

course this is not right. Nor is it Just, OF
good policy, to tax the new conner who
