THE ISLANDER was unable to de-
light its readers last week with the
announcement that the House, by a
vote of so to %, had passed the Hansen
bill abolishing fish traps, prohibiting
purse seines and also prohibiting the
use Of any seine with less than a five
inch mesh. AS previously observed
the most fitting title for the bill would
be Gan act to Prevent the Investment
of Capital III the Fishing Industry of
the State of Washington" It is d ,ubt
ful if a more outrageous measure ever
received the sanction of legislative
body on the Pacific coast. There
would be equally good reason for the
passage of bill to prohibit the use of
gang saws in the lumber mills of the
state, on the ground that they facili-
tate the destruction of one of the states
greatest resources and deprive hundreds
of men of the employment that they
would get if it were necessary to sup
ply the lumber market by the use of
whip saws, or even the old "up and
down" saws in use in the mills of fifty
years ago. The hope of the fish indus
try lies in the probability that the bill
will be defeated in the Senate.

THE United States is the greatest
agricultural country in the world and
yet under the operation of the Wilson
tariff law the annual importation OF
agricultural products has reached the
enormous total of S135, 100000. Under
the provisions of the bill now in course
of preparation by the Ways and Means
committee of the house of representa-
tives the greater part of this importa-
ton will be stopped and the American
market will be supplied by American
farmers. The new schedules will keep
Mexican beef out of Kans s and Color
ado, aud Canadian dairy products, bar
ley, hope and hay, out of every north
ern border state from Maine to Wash
ingtOn.

OUR present distinguished legisla-
ture, or portion of it at least, proposes
to offer bounty of one cent per pound
for three years for the manufacture OF
beet sugar in this state, practically the
only conditions being that not less than
81. 90 per ton shall be paid for beets and
that the aggregate amount of bounty
paid shall not exceed $4,000 in any
one year. Ye gods and little fishes,
think of that, coming from a legisla-
ture that is nominally irrevocably OPP
posed to trusts and combinations of
capital! Think of looting the state
treasury, in its present condition, to
the extent of $4,000 for the benefit of
the Sugar Trust, which has made near
ly 1891 .OOO,OO0 in profits out of the
American people during the past
eleven years, with only trifie over
1914. OOO, 900 invested. The recent in
vestigation of the Sugar Trust by the
Lexow committee in New York has
disclosed the fact that the average net
profit per pound in the manufacture of
sugar by the trust since and including
1886 has been l.O12 cents, or $22.66 per
long ton, which is only tritle more
than the amount of the bounty which
the bill Houghton proposes to offer.
And the farmers of the state are ex-
pected to wax jubilant over the pros
pect of getting $500 per ton for beets
delivered at the refinery! After pay
ing the cost of production and trans
portation it is doubtful if the cheat"
farmer would have enough left to pay
his portion of the tax that would be
necessary to pay the refinery bounty.
1t is claimed, however, that the meas
ure would help the farmer" and pos
sibly it would, but hitherto, at least, it
HASN'T been a popular theory that
farmers have been very greatly helped
by the payment of large subsidies or
bonuses to trusts. Officials of the SUI
gar trust were recently forced to con-
fess that it pays profit of twenty per
cent upon capitalization of S38, 000, 900,
about four fifths Of which is "water."
And yet this same rapacious trust is
giving the country all astonishing ex-
hibition of greedy efrontery now by
clamoring at the doors of congress for
more 'protection" The inordinate
fattening of such combinations at the
expense of the people is what makes so
many good citizens oppose the protec-
tive principle.

ance with the provisions Of the act of Con-

1892, ADELBERT d. Tiff, of Friday Har-

sworn statement No. 6528, for the pur-
chase of the Lots Three ~ and Four a. of

A RECENT number of the Philadel-
phia Press contained a compilation
showing the political complexion of
the various state legislatures, includ-
ing not only those which were elected
last fall, but those in the few states,
such as Iowa, Ohio and Maryland,
where the legislatures were elected in
1892. The membership of the legisIa-
lures represents with substantial ac-
curacy, the true division of parties i'm
the country, because legislative dis
tricts are small. In eighteen states of
the east and middle west, the richest
and most populous in the Union, 2 $50
Republicans, 564 Democrats and 1
Fusionist were elected; in thirteen
states west of the Missouri river and
north of Texas 467 Republicans, 256
Democrats, 3l6 Fusionists and 2l3
Populists were elected; in fourteen
southern states the number of Demo-
Gratis elected was 1889, Republicans
1857 and Populists 2O4. Summing up
the whole result, it is found that in the
forty-five states of the Union, the
strength of the parties in the legisla-
ture is as follows:
Rep. Dem. Pop. Fus.
Hrand total. 2204 $40 PA
Out of the 6.436 members of state Leg
islatures the Republicans have q clear
majority over all of $40. Considering

IF any sceptic is inclined to doubt
the spread of civilization in South
Africa let him be convinced by the
announcement that three tons of nick-
be shipped to Delagoa bay for distribu-
ton throngout the ozark Continent"
1t is probably presumed that score or
two missionaries and few tons OF
Bibles have opened up fine field for
the enliehtening and elevatlng influ-
ence of the machines. And yet there
are people who do not regard them as

Republican members; this is a large
majority. Taking the two sections OF
the North together, the Republicans
have 3,l26 members of the legislatures,
to combined opposition of 1850, or a

How Girls Should Consider Proposals

My dear girl, when man asks you to
become his wife you ought 10 put some
questions 70 yourself, +" writes Ruth Ash
more to girls on "1he Profession of Mar
riage, in the-&pril Ladies' Home Jour
nal. Satisfy yourself that you love
this man well enough, not only To DC hap
by with him, but, IL need be, TO suffer
with him. Decide for yourself if this be
the man of all Others in whom you will
find your ideal companion, for compan-
ionship means as much in marriage as i'm
friendship. Then, you must think of the
future. Ask yourself, too. whether this
man brings out in you all that is best,
whether nc provokes that which is little
and mean in you, or whether he piques
you into making light of that which Is
good. Decide whether this man Is the one
with whom you would bc willing to grow
old; whether this man is the one TO
whom you would, without hestancy,
submit questions that trouble your con-
science. Then, too, you must ask your
self what seems, perhaps, like a trivial
question, whether this man is one whose
name YOU will feel honored i'm bearing,
not because of any material wealth he
may possess, but because of his being an
honest gentleman. Think out all these
things, ask yourself question upon ques-
tion, not only as to his fitness but as To
yours, and then, If you give him the low
ing answer that hc wishes try u, become
thoroughly acquainted with him"

A Famou. Hero of Modern Greece.

In the last years of Shelley and his
friend Byron, the beginning of the Greek
-Revofttton turned the minds of these
two poets, and of all western Europe and
North America, toward the fair land
which the genius of Bryon had anew re-
yealcd To the civilized world. Byron in
the early cantos of Don Juan" written
in 1920, but not published till 1921, had
foreshadowed the Grecian revolt; and
Shelley, in the summer of 1921, when
that revolt was in full tide Of its early
success, wrote his drama, "Hellas turn
ing on those successes, and dedicated to
Prince Mayrocordato, so famous through
out the national history of Greece. In
this poem he makes allusion 10 one. of the
most distinguished of the Greek chief
tains Odysseus ulysses, born insIthaca,
like Homer's hero, his namesake) with
whom Shelley's Cornish friend, Trelawn,
was soon after to be disastrously asso-
ciatcd:
A brighter Helas rears its mountains,
From waves serener far
A new Peneus rolls its fountains
Against the morning star;
A new Ulysses leaves once more
Calypso for his native shore.
He had stern and frowning look that
showed confidence and daring. His eyes
and hair were chestnut, his nose thin and
straight, his forehead prominent, his head
large, and his shoulders broad. 1t might
be said with truth that Odysseus was tho
very man celebrated in the popular song
quoted by Passow;
A sturdy rock his shoulders broad, his locks
are chestnut brown,
His breast Is like brazen wall-no force can
break it down.
Moreover he was very strong handed,
fleet-footed, and able to make long
marches; they even say he outran some
of the swiftest horses. Certainly he had
4 A. -.
and physical beauty. Prom ''Odysseus

In ''argifying" about the tariff bill by
comparison with the Mckinley act, it is
just as well to bear In mind that tho Me-
Kinley bill was "a measure designed to
reduce tho revenues of the government
and was SO styled in the title, while the
Dingley bill is designed to increase rcve-
nues. When the Mckinley bill was
passed the government had an awkward
surplus TO deal with. Today there is an
even more awkward deficiency. Evidently
there must DO some burden of taxation
pure and simple to meet the indebtedness
of four years of running behind but there
is nothing for IL bct to grin and bear 1t
and promise not to fool again with a
Democratic administration, loaded with
immature business ideas.
