THE GOVERNORS SALARY,

Among the many recommendations
in Governor Glenn's message which We
endorse is that of an increase of the
governors salary. 1t should be raised
to six thousand dollars. The present
salary is not large enough to pay the
the incumbent's expenses. The gov
ernor of a great state like this should
not be required to be always skipping
and ecOnomizing in order to make
buckle and tongue meet. Governor
Glenn says he has lived economically.
still his expenses have been fifteen
hundred dollars a year in excess of
his salary. That means that a man
who has not a private income of tif-
teen hundred or two thousand dollars
is excluded from the Office of governor
of his state-a poor man is debarred
from the office. Were it not this bad,
still the salary is not in keeping with
the dignity of the office.
We suppose, Of course, every one
that Mr.. Glenn is not ask
ing for an increase of his salary. The
increase, if made, would go into effect
with the beginning Of the term of his
successor.

THE FISH.

|
1t was a sickening sight yesterday al
market dock. cray trout, croakers
and spots, thousands of fish, that il
given a chance to mature are delicious
fish, profitable to the fishermen and the
dealer. lay heaped up, with little value
above that of fertilizers. A schooner
load of fish arrived yesterday, and sold
for $50. hin of twenty-five tons of
gray trout, crOakers and spots selling
at such prices! And they were not
wanted very much at this price, for the
fish were small. The largest We're
picked out and strung in punches and
sold to the cOlorcd people. The great
bulk will be thrown OF the fields in
James City for fertilizer. These fish
were caught Off Beaufort inlet, in nets
used to catch menhaden, nets small of
mesh, nets which let no fish escape.
Here was a lot of immature fish sold
for $50. that if left to grow into a
natural state, would, according to Mr..
Geo. n. Ives, be worth $1,000 and a
fisherman nearby said $4,000.
The above. taken from The Daily
Journal, Of New Bern, of Friday last,
should be brought to the attention CT
every member of the legislature. Such
wanton destruction of fish should not
be allowed. There should be a stri7-
oNHS SoAAo I, oIlu III Ia" SllOuIu
be enforced. If the fish commissioner
has not force enough at his command
to compel compliance with the law as
now existing Or hereafter to be enact
ed let the Legislature make prov isior
for such a. force under his command as
will enable him to see that the law IS
ooeyed or that those who violate it
are a~pprehended so they may be prop !
erly punished. This is not by any
means, the first report which has come |
from New Bern of such wholesale de- !
s%truction of fish in adjacent waters.
There is now complaint of the scare
lty of fish in our sounds and eastern
rivers. If the kind of fishing as The
Journal relates is allowed to continue |
the fish will continue to grow scarcer
until that important industry will be
entirely destroyed. 1t is time the leg
dslature was passing more stringent
laws IN this subject. 1t should be done
for the protection of those engaged
in the legitimate business of catching
fish for the markets. That industry
should not be allowed to be destroyed
by this Strengthening of the young fish.
1t is a shame that this kind of fishing
should go UNPUBLISHED. We hope the
legislature will give this matter care
full attention and will come to the res
cue of the men whose business is
threatened with destruction by these
deSpOilers of the sen

Raleigh, n. c., January /:

Raleigh, N. C., January 12.-
n corporation commission this
morning had a conference with its
lawyers, Fred A. Woodland of Wilson,
and Winston & Bryant, of Durham. in
regard to the suit against the South
ern railway to force the latter to
maintain the connection at Selma.
Street comment here was to the effect
that some Of the railways are playing
into the hands of the anti-railvay
people and that by what they are do
ing they seem to be seeking tn bring
the most drastic legislation possible.
Great numbers of persons have been
heard to say this within the past few
months and expression to this effect
is quite free today. From the talk
heard among members OF the legisla-
ture there will be no lack of srrone
legislation against the roads and II
seems to be the general opinion that
fare will be reduced and that the CORP
Grafton commission will be given
powers much beyond any It has ever
had.

The insurance commissioner has
MED with the governor a statement of

which amounts to only $1,000 a year. |
His department brings in a great deal
of revenue and yet the clerical ex-
penses are only half those of the |
smallest department of the state
gOvrnment.
The legislature has begun very
early to take ground against lobbyists
and a good number of bills to regu-
late these gentlemen may be expect
ed.
A bill has been introduced to so
amend the Watts law as to allow a
vote on the question of prohibition or

meet a condition which was repre-
sented in Raleigh last year.
