authorities have been too lenient with
the fish hog and have permitted
him to use seines in disobedience OF
law. They have also winked at the
capture of small fish which should
have been given time to grow and as
sist in propagating their species.
The national government and the
various states are now spending con-
siderable amounts annually for the
maintenance of fish hatcheries. and
these propagating establishments are
placing millions of fry in rivers and
lakes every year. Work of this kind

it must be supplemented by effort to
circumvent the fish hog when the
young fish have reached tempting
size. It would be unjust to the gen.
eral taxpayer to maintain fsh
hatcheries simply to make the waters
of rivers and lakes more fruitful for
piratical fishermen.
The high price of meats of all kinds

In Defense Of Labor.
Governor johnson, in consonance
with his thorough democracy. and
believing In equal rights, has not been
neglectful of the interests of labor. He
desired a free state employment bu-
reau designed to eliminate the many
abuses that have marked private en-
ployment bureaus in the great labor
centers of Minnesota. Such a bureau
was created and has been thoroughly
helpful and widely efficient.
Since time simmemorial, that relic
OF feudalisn, the common law doc
trine Of non-liability OF EMPLOYER to
employe for injuries occurring
through the negligence of fellow
servant has prevailed in Minnesota, as
we'll as in many other states. This
ancient rule Of the common law" said
Gov. Johnson, coupled with the other
rule generally referred to as the doc
trine or the assumption of risk by
employees, has cast upon the fndivid-
ual laborer risk and responsibility
out of proportion to the wages he re-
ceives."
During his term of office Gov. john
son has had to deal with one great
conflict between labor and capital
namely, the strike of the miners on
the Minnesota iron ranges BY direct
pei sonal intervention, by advice to the

in preventing violence and bloodshed.
In the forests and prairies Of north
ern Minnesota are great extents Of
fertile land, which, owing to lack nf
drainage, have not been available for
cultivation. Thanks to Gov. Johnson,
additional legislation on this subject
was secured, and hundreds of thou
sands Of acres of fertile land will be
added to the rolls of the states s
wealth.
Gov. Johnson believes in the NUM-
cipal ownership of public utilities. and,
following his suggestion, a modified
form of the Illinois Mueller law WAS
adopted by the Minnesota legislature.
Under it's provisions a municipality
may bond its street railways or other
public utilities to pay the cost OF the
purchase and operation of the same.
Minnesota, a leading agricultural
state, has long had to contend with

the state has had a twine plant In
which prison labor was employed.
The trust erected factory in Mime
