GOVERNOR ROGERS, 'sfrom the best
sources at his command" has reached
the conclusion that "the law should,
within reasonable limit of time, pro-
hibit utterly all fish traps, wheels and
other stationary gear as means of
catching fish in the waters under the
control of the state of Washington. -
He further says that las means Of
revenue to the state it is probable that
an annual tax imposed upon each boat
engaged in fishing should be collected.
This would more than Offset the
The islander. [volume] (Friday Harbor, Wash.) 1891-1899, 1897-01-21

amount now collected from traps"
The governors chief source of informa-
ton upon this question seems to have
been the message of his Populist proto-
type in Oregon, Gov. Pennoyer, In
1898, and he seems to have derived his
inspiration from the Magma Charta of
King John, of England, which that
gentleman was forced to sign some
thing over $50 years ago in order to
hold his job. History doesn't record
that there were any salmon canneries
on the Thames or other English rivers
in those days, owned by bloomin'
Britishers who employed Cinnamon
and bought all the fish they
could get. If there were the industry
has fallen into inocuous desuetude
there since then and the English cities
are the chief foreign markets now for
the canned salmon of the Pacific coast.
From our point of view Populist COVER
nors are rather to much inclined to
20 back several hundred years for their
models of civilization and state govern
ment. There seems to have been too
much progress in the present century
to suit their ideas of conservatism and
"equal rights" 1t may be easy to con-
vince the present legislature, notwith-
standing the strong Populist prejudice
against everything English, that the
Magma Charta of King John has con-
siderable bearing upon the fish trap
question in the state of Washington,
and that because the aforesaid charter
required the removal from the Eng
lish rivers Of the "kydells," or dams
built for catching fish, it follows that
no traps should be used for catching
salmon in the open waters of Puget
Sound. The argument is as good as
many others that have been and will
be used as basis for important legisla-
ton.

JOHN r. ROGERS as governor seems
to be more concerned about the accept
ance of passes from railroad or other
transportation companies by public Of
ficials than he was as member of the
two years ago, when he &C
cepted all the passes that were tender
ed him and also drew all the mileage
he could get from the state treasury.

HOW TO FIND OUT

Fill bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four
hours: a sediment or settling indi-
Gates an unhealthy condition of the
kidneys. When urine stains linen it
is evidence of kidney trouble. Too

that the kidneys and bladder are out

tney convey no very vivid idea of the
