Maryland Game Association Says II is 70
Protect Food Fisheries.

The laws committee of the Maryland
Game aud Fish Protective Association
submitted the results of its labOrs 10
the executive committee meeting held at
the Eutaw House, Baltimore, Nov. II.
The laws committee have two fish bills
and one game bill in readiness, aud these.
when finally adopted. the General As
semhly will be asked TO pass The com
mittee is aiming to frame such laws as
they think will be most conducive TO
furthering the greater interest OF fishing
as an industry. and will ask that the
state fishery police will carry out the
laws to the letter.
one object will be 70 have fishing pro-
hibited in the waters OF the State except

purposes. To obtain this end IL will he

Maryland waters The menh0den are

peak and tributary waters and which
are in turn q valued food for the people
of the State
They say the slaughterers Of menhaden

ginia as rule while taking these fish,
which are the food for food fish. leave
nothing to attract food fish TO Chesa-
peake waters. The menhaden fishers il
is believed. can ply their trade in the
ocean and give the owners of farms
which border on the tide waters OF this
State a chance to make fishing profitable
from their shores
1t is also proposed TO do away with
fixed nets and 10 revise the laws relating
to seine hauling The seine-haulers would
be allowed to land all saabe fish on
floats or in shallow water on shores
The object OF the laws as drawn by
the committee is 10 be the securing Of
greater privileges TO owners Of shores
and for fishermen other than those who
catch fish for any other purpose than TO
make a marketable food product.

THE Convention has practically
decided to act upon the recommended
ton of Delegate r. Walton Moore
and have all elections in the fall,
county and district elections TO be
held every four years This is not
such a bad idea. Wehave never seri-
ously objected to quadrennial cleo
tions. but do strenuously object to
quadrennial sessions Of the legisla-
ture. Let the Convention rescind its
action on the last-named question
and the people will be satisfied with
the termination OF these issues. The
result of the vote at the recent cleo
ton was largely in favor OF combin-
ing the spring and fall elections, but
the Convention will fall into error if
it takes this result TO mean that the
people also want to do away with
biennial sessions OF the Legislature.
Under existing laws we have every
year an election in the fall and every
other year one in spring-making
six regular elections in every four
years. Under the recommendations
of the Committee of the Whole we are
to have only three elections in every
four years-or Just half as many as
heretofore.

THE CANAL TREATY.

If we are to give credence to the
latest reports the United States is to
be congratulated ON the happy out
come of the treaty with England
which bears on the Isthmian canal
project. A short while ago it was
rumored that neither England nor
America had given way in the treaty
matter and that it was satisfactory
to all parties. This appeared to be an
anomalous situation. but when II was
further announced that this country
was privileged to build the canal, yet
TO maintain strict neutrality over 1t
at all times, Americans had lust cause
for believing we had been euchred.
The report from Washington now.
which seems TO be more authentic,
changes the phase OF the matter CON
siderably. As it now goes, we are 10
build the canal and such defenSes as
we see fit. the canal to be neutral
at all times and open TO all
other nations except in case this
country should be M war, in such
event the canal 10 be closed
and defended against ourantagOnist.
With this understanding there should
be no trouble in having the treaty
accepted by the [. 5. Senate and by
the people at large.
No matter how much we may have
favored American ownership Of the
Nicaragua or other isthmian canal
the people would never have con-
sented to a surrender of the privilege
ofdefense Oft or of our interests II at
war with another nation. Equally as
Objectionable would it have been 10
us to have had another nation build
such a waterway. In fact We do not
believe this country would today
consent to any such undertaking,
and we would move, under shadow OF
the Monroe doctrine, to prevent such
a canal from being built by Others.
So the only result by which the canal
project could be put through is 10y
such treaty provisions aswe are now
assured of.
