LEGAL LENGTH Of
TROUT DISCUSSED
Speaker TTowe Thinks Fishing in
His Part of State Should
Begin April 1.

Montpelier, Dec. THE Joint commit
tee on game and fisheries gave a public
hearing this evening in the coat-ocm on
several bills now before the Legislature
hearing on the length Of trout that cal
legally be caught and the length Of the
open season. speaker Howe said ne be-
lieved in special trout Legislation both
for trout fishing nrd deer hunting in diff
ferent counties in the state. lie be
lieved the open season for trout In the
lower counties of the state should begin
April which would prevent the modelling
Of the streams May or May IL.
IN regard to the length of trout that
can legally be caught, Speaker Howe
said he was not In favor cf the afx-Hch
law, which is enforced Only IN spots m
Vermont. Trout under six inches are
now thrown back by honest fishermen
and many of them died. Those trout woulo
be saved and would lie OF benefit TO some
one II the six-inch law was repealed.
MIR. Howe thought the open season shouIa
not exceed three months. Mr.. CARL OF Ca
naan agreed with Mr.. Howe in regard 10
the six-inch law and urged a month
longer open season for lake and pond
fishing.
Colby Stoddard of Newport spoke for
the fishermen Of Orleans county, through
which Ave rivers run and IN which are
many lakes and ponds In which can DC
found splendid fishing. The fishing IN
that county is growing better every year,
and It is immatertal when the season
opens For the smaller streams MT
stoddard believed The season should open
early and remain until September l.
Frank d. Thompson Of Barton advocnf-
| ed opening the season for stream nshihS
| Apr! 10. and for CLOSING by August
while the trout are spawning. lie pelleV-
ed the catch should be limited to six
pounds In one day.
John W. Titcomb of Lyndonville, state
| fish and game commissioner, said he
was in favor of protective laws that
| are supported by public sentiment. and
| IN having these laws as few as possible.
lie believed In n six-inch law, as fish I'M
der that length rarely spawn. The
| splendid fishing in Orleans county Is
due to artificial propagation. Brook
| trout in this State rarely spawn until
the last of September or in October.
Mr.. Titcomb believed in limit as
to the number of pounds of lake trout
and on the total number OF brook trout
to be caught in ono day.

of questions for DALI hour or more.

THE PEOPLE HAVE SPOKEN

From the tone in the leading editorial in the Satur-
day Review of Olympia it's case of Hobsons choice
as to whom will be elected to the United States senate
TO succeed Senator Piles The Review is edited and
published by A. S. Ruth, who is also state senator
from Thurston county, and who will have vote in
the election of the next United States senator from
Washington. The Review says:
whether Mr. Poindexter Mr.. Cotter is elected
United States senator the Democrats have Won there
fore they have cinch the United States senator
ship"
Evidently State Senator Ruth does not feel like
bowling to the will of the people does U. S. Senator
Wesley L. jones' majority of the Republicans of
this state have promised Poindexter good
enough Republican for them and Sena-
tor Ruth ought not to want to behind the verdict of
majority of the Republicans of the state, even though
their verdict does not meet his personal appreciation

RED LIGHTERS OPPOSED HIM

Some persons really rejoice on account of the ene'
mics they have made much as others do on account
of the friends they have made. The following ex-
cerpt from the Sun of Sunnysde would seem to ind-
cate that candidate for state senator in that neck of
the woods is delighted with the enemies he has made
and that too despite the fact they defeated him for
a nomination. Here it is:
''The supporters of Hon. Lee A. Johnson in the re-
cent campaign for state senator looks with consider
able satisfaction upon the fact thatn the light dis
trct in North Yakima their candidate did not receive
single VOTE On the other hand the successful can
ddate Frank Allen received 80 out of 70 votes cas-"
Lee A. Johnson, who for many years was Metho-
dist divne gaveup the pulpit for politics, but seems
that he still holds some allegiance to the teachings of
religion which accounts for mis- defeat. He is one of
the best sef-made the Northwest boasts of, and
has no regrets not getting the votes of such cattle
as mentioned above.

HE LEADS ALL THE REST

When the Kent Advertiser delivered itself OF the
following questionable compliment it was not aware
of the fact that there real grounds Tor the
editorial that showed on the surface. 1t says:
George w. Williams made an heroic fight Tor
wreck master and he keeps up his ofrepeated prom
ses to retrench when he is inaugurated he may yet
become fufedged statesman 1t is needless to
say that thus far there have been no receipts or ex
penditures in the office"
In the last campaign Mr. Williams occasionally got
so oratorical that it required the whole audience to
cool him off, That he is economist is shown by his
sworn statement of his campaign expenses, ne having
spent all of dollar in the campaign He was nomln-
ated and he will be elected and he will die happy nay
ing realized his life ambition But seriously, George
w Williams will be the first Negro in the history of the
state of Washington to be nominated and elected to
county office.

FARMER LIKEWISE HAS REvERsEs

To own farm does not mean that all your troubles
are ended the city advocates of return to the so
would have you believe may be seen from the fol-
lowing from the Mabton Chronicle:
THE nerve to be good loser has been fully dem
onstrated by the hill farmers this fall One cannot
but admire these they continue to drive into
town, bringing with them only the remnant of what
at one time last spring promised to be the bumper
crop of years. With their two, four, eight and ten
horse teams they daily from the hill to our
warehouses; While they receiving good prices for
whatever quantity they bring it must require grit of
the finest kind to make the long drives, thinking of
what might have BEEN their portion. Such men
deserve to win and believe that they w-that the
day will come when they will look back to these days
of long dusty drives and be glad they stuck Such is
the grit of the Washington Farmer.
Yes the farm life has it's trials and tribuations the
same the city life and especially to the poor person.
but on the whole the farmer is more independent even
though he some times has less money and means than
the city chap

ct WANT A FARM"

When one reads of the fruit crop reports in East
ern Washington and then remembers the almost fabu-
lous prices persons, who do not own we'll bear
ing orchard have to pay for the home fruit consump
ton it is Notwithstanding. In its news columns the
Colfax Gazette says the following:
'Orchardsts are beginning to gather the early fall
apnles of which the trees are heavily laden of all va
reties. This holds goods throughout the Palouse
country-there is one report good crops This in the
absence of rain"
To think about those bearing orchards brings to
mind the story of the fellow taking jug of whiskey
home. which he had frequently sampled on his way.
He came to an old-fashioned worm fence and
being too tired to climb over he threw the Jug over
Init when it hit the ground the stopper flew out and as
The whskey ran out with the good good sound, he
looked at it wistfully and exclaimed Il know you are
good but can't get to you.

IS SOCIALISM INSANITY

There is, perhaps, "a heap sight more" in Social
ism as preached than opponents of the cult are willing
to admit but when possessing common sense reads
such slush as quoted below it's question: If all per-
sons advocating Socialism are not more or less weak
under the hat The Washington Standard is respon-
sibe for the following:
"A Socialist from Snohomsh county while on his
way to the Harbor country, last Wednesday, stopping
here for few hours remarked he had heard canvass
ed among some of the prominent memberso OF the party
in this state that when nominations shall be made for
officials, especially judges, who draw large salaries,
pentlemans contract should be made in case of sue
cess at the polls the amount of the salaries are to be
divided between the incumbents and the party execu-
tive committee with which defray expenses and carry
on the propaganda york The method proposed is some
what different from the practice generally pursued by
notica party machinery making heavy assessments
during the campaign before the date of election How
ever things new are now on the programme"
Living in hope of some one else making something
and bv some contrvance be forced to divide the same
I'm with YOU is entirely common, and all such per-
sons are simply too lazy to fight their own battles

BUT 1T GOT THE MONEY

The country press" of the state of Was ington
entertains very poor opinion of the Seattle Daily
Times and the opinion the press entertains of the
Times fully reflects the opinion it has of the editor of
the Times. The following from the Davenport Trib-
une is fair sample:
There fears that the Seattle Times was so in
tent keeping its to the ground that its foot
slipped"
There is no doubt but so far as principle is con-
cerned its foot yes, it's feet badly slipped, but in fall
ing the colonel grabbed the dough and he shut
his claws on to it nothing but death could jar him
loose, and death would have devil of time do
ing it.

SOMETHING IN A NAME

After all there must be something more in name
than the cynic implied in his question, WHAT'S IN
name?' In the current issue of the Big Bend Empire
the following editorial appears:
cit is quite evident that the fact that he bore the
name of La Toilette and is cousin of the Wisconsin
senator led to the nomination in Whitman county OF
La Toilette for state representative.
Its not bad to have relatives to whom you can point
with pride and especially when you want fat olce
If La Toilette of Washington will only do as well IN
public life as La Toilette of Wsconson, the Washing
ton voter like the Wisconsin voter will have no KICK
to register Not that the Washington voters are SUCH
ardent admirers of the political tactics of the Wlscon
sin La Foett but they believe he is right in major
itv of his nubc measures and that is the big end of
the battle.

STATE TAXES

State taxes will not be reduced in the near future
unless there is marked and decided change along in
telgent lines from present conditions. Just now
there is lul owing to the fact that many tax payers
who settled up with the treasurer in the spring are
their crouch, but with the second half payment
due vehement objections to the high taxes de-
manded will probably be resumed. The time to pro-
test about high taxes is not after the levy has been
made and when the taxes are being paid but before
the money has been spent,
And just so long tax payers and communities
continue to believe that any state appropriation they
get for their community is coming from some
elses pocket; that the larger appropriations that
can be secured by their senators and representatives
the more worthy such legislators of support and
encouragement just long will taxes continue to be
onerous, oppressive and burdensome.
Careful investigation would probably disclose that
county in the state has received the best of it
the worst of it when it has to grating from the
state treasury Grating used in this connection
does not mean in any way to imply either an illegal
nor improper use of such moneys nor that any per-
son connected with the expenditure thereof personally
profted in any way The term is used to distinguish
such appropriation bills might better be termed ex-
travagant. 1t is positive fact that that there has
been in the past no extravaganza in the appropriations
for the necessary conduct of state administration By
that is meant absolutely office has been created nor
salary paid to the officer employee in excess of an
extremely reasonable compensation for the services
faithfully performed nor have appropriations been
made for repairs and Improvements at state institu-
lions, except such is necessary to meet the absolute
needs of the Institutions with the sole exception of
the appropriation for the jute mill at Wala Waa
prison. High taxes in Washington have been due en-
trely to the eXravagant appropriations, appropria-
tons for matter and Things mertorous in themselves
but largely and purely local in their benefits Theex
pendtures perfectly proper if the state and it's
tax payers financially able and willing to pay the
piper" The general and widespread complaints of
high taxes would to indicate is not the con
dtion.

JONES WILL GET HIS

From Senator Jones' comment on the late primary
election you would think he, instead of Burke or Ash
ton had been defeated for the u S. senatorial nom
inaton. The Yakima Democrat has the following to
say:
Senator Jones says that he bows to the will of
the people, Well, we thought he would. But the
people had to threaten him with club first "
We had alwrys suspected that Senator Jones
would bow to the will of the people and if ne is cor
recty quoted he will be given another splendid OPP
portunty to bow to the will of the people, when he
comes up for reelection four years from now. The
peoples will must be bowed to and the people will will
that the Yakima statesman bow down and out, and
unless we are mistaken he is going to get his at the
proper time.

VOTE AS YOU PLEASE

This thing of measuring other mems corn by your
half bushel seems to be weakness of the human fam
lv Listen to the following rhythmic lingo from the
Lincoln County Times:
Zone sweetly solemn thought
Comes DER us as we work
Had all men voted as they ought
'Twould be Ashton or Tom Burke. "
Why ought they to have voted for either of the
men mentioned above? They ought TO have voted for
that man that they were convinced in their own minds
would give them the best account of his steward
ship The day of the party whip driving men to the
os and daring them to vote other than the way they
orc commanded is thing of the past and may the
GOOD God see to it that such days never come again.
