Tue REAL REASON FOR coNTIN-
UED VIOLATION OF OYSTER
LAWS.

W
is held in Newport News next month,
the inability of the State to protect
the natural rocks from depredations
during the closed season and the rea-
son therefor should be given careful
consideration. OF course. there VIII
be In the meeting many tongers who
have violated the laws themselves,
but we take 1t for granted that ma
jcrity of the men who attend VIII
favcr enforcement of law and VIII
give the legislators the benft of their
oplnions as to how this may be ac-
complished. The strongest OF all ar
gumenss against the maintenance OF
the free natural rocks Is the failure OF
the authorities to protect the rocks
This has been largely responsible for
the Virginia oyster troubles. and Is
the direct cause for the depleted con-
d;tion CT the James river oyster beds
at this time. /.
Virginia spends great deal OF
money maintaining its fisheries COM
mission and oyster police navy and
the public naturally wonders why the
oyster rocks have not been protected,
The commission and the navy have
been blamed. and perhaps some OF
the blame should rest upon them But
the primary trouble is not with the
commission or the navy A con-
siderable sum Of money is spent on
the police boats now. but II SUI
fcsent number of boats to effectively
proven. deprcdstions under the pres
emit conditions should be put in COM
mission by the state, there is no say
ing what the cost would be.
The State will never maintain 4
navy" strong enough to put depre-
dators out of business as long as the
county justices OF the peace continue
TO dispose OF cases involving viola
items Of The oyster laws as most Of
them have been doing in the past.
II Is a notorious fact that when an
Inspector or the skipper OF one OF the
lelice boats makes an arrest he
knows before hand that the offender
IN all probability will get OF with a
Lcminai fine. Tongers are caught
redhandcd again and again In the act
Of taking oysters from the natural
rock during the closed season, and
for each ofense they pay a compare
lively small fine and then resume
their depredations. Under the law,
offenders must be carried before a
justice IT the peace OF the county Dor
sering apon the water in which the
<rense is committed. Therefore the
cfhccrs are compelled 10 take their
