STATE PAYS THE BILLS.

The Hartford Times calls atten- tion to the fact that public money Is being expended for stocking private streams, and refers to the custom as waste Of the states funds. It would seen. as though it might prop erly be clarsed under the head of graft, for there is nothing to pre- vent the owners of these streams from closing them to the public the next minute after they are stocked. Commenting on. the practice, the Times says: "The only reason for stocking streams, at the public cost is that the public without discrimina- tion may have access to the fish thus provided. The point is familiar to the fish commissioners and has been presented to every legislature for years. Those charged with the re- sponsibiiity neglect their official obligation The board continues to propagate and distribute trout, and the taxpayers continue to see their money used for the benefit of private individuals The trout are not sold but given away, They return no
 revenue to the state, and most of
 them are protected by the owner as soon as ne thinks it worth while
 after the stocking is accomplished" "
