propose to break the Baylor Sur

to the contrary are as false as

THE OYSTER LAWS.
Newport News Times-Herald. !

The Times-Herald has due regard fol
the rights of the people. We have seer
how public lands have been given away
to the railroads; how franchises anc
other public assets have been grabbed
by individuals. 1t is one of the greatest
of our national sins.
The Times-Herald is at war with al
such schemes and it would be the last
to countenance any plot to rob the peo-
pie of Tidewater of their oyster grounds.
But we are sure that there is no such
plot. We have talked with commits
sioner Lee, with Speaker Byrd and
others interested in the pending bill and
they have no remote intention to take
away the rights of the tongers. 1t is
unfair to them to make such intima-
lions. The Strengthening of the Baylor
lines is simply to mark them accurately,
so that the territory included may be
properly policed,
There is no plot. The Commission of
Fisheriesis here to protect the interests
of the people. If there were any plot.
that commission would be guilty of
rank treason not to disclose it and
denounce it. And if ever the Times
Herald discovers such a plot, or any,
thing akin to it, it's readers will be
promptly appraised.

REARRANGE THE LINES.

Here is one of the fairest and
most conservative views on the
James River Baylor proposition
that we have seen. The few of
our editors that have not read
the Byrd Wickham bill are the
loudest in denouncing it. Not
one of them can tell you its object
or quote a provision in it. 1t is
80 per cent for the tongers' adj
vantage, as would be discerned if
understood.
The views we refer to are from
the Eastern Shore Herald, which
contemporary we quote:
The legislature still has the matter
Of breaking the Baylor survey before it,
but the committee in charge made no
recommendation. 1t therefore seems
likely that nothing will be done in this
regard. The oyster question seems tn
be bugbear to many legislators. But
II the matter were looked at calmly it
would lose much of its mysticism. The
Baylor lines represent the bounds of
the natural oyster beds, so could not
have been straight, but it would be easy
enough for the police to have watch
houses, and for better protection to es-
tablish a zone of straight lines including
the natural beds, and prohibiting the
taking up Of planting ground within
this zone would meet every trouble of
the police. From the diagram of the
James river beds it seems that the
natural rocks have been encroached on
all around. These poachers should be
moved off and moved off to such dis
lance that there could be no mistake
as to getting back on them again. If
the Board of Fisheries were authorized
to lay off protected zone that would be
easy to guard, many of the troubles of
the OLD method OF trying. to protect the
natural beds would be eliminated.

suit is it is now lawfully held by
planters. The same will be true
OF Gum Rock, the most valuable
in York river, ii the bill fail this
time; and there are a number of
Others that could be saved under
this provision. In addition, it is
the desire of officials to give
depleted rock rest and spend some
money in Smelling others, but
they would befoolish to do it if it
could not be protected from dep
redators. There are other amend
ments offered by the Commission
as to manner of leasing for short
periods and in small tracts, so
that the small man can get in,
and also so the leases can be can
celled along with others as they
expire, and so on.
We advise our contemporaries
to get posted before tanning the
air.

SOME FACTS:

1t is untrue that the Commits
sion of Fisheries wish to break
the Baylor Survey anywhere in
Virginia. On the contrary, they
desire to establish it in the James
where itnever hasexisted or been
observed.
1t is untrue that they wish to
lease out any natural rock. What
little would of necessity be thrown
out is already held by planters.
1t is untrue that the Lee lines
would throw out thousands of
acres of rock. Four thousand of
the four thousand four hundred
are as bare and barren as a plank
floor.
1t is untrue that they desire
this for an entering wedge. tits
for a settlement Of a vexed situa-
ton that will not down in any
other way.
1t is untrue that the planters
are backing the Byrd bill. With
the exception of Mr.. Darling (who
does not desire a foot of ground)
the planters oppose the move.
because it will dislodge them from
unlawful holdings.
For years the Boards of Fish
cries have been advocating some
such action, and two years ago
the same bill was introduced.
widely advertised and passed the
unanimously. Three ele-
ments now oppose it: Those
ignorant OF its purpose and bene-
hts; political and factional op-
ponents; and tongers and plant
ers who want lawlessness to have
full sway on the James. The
latter will probably see their
desire, and obstruction will re-
sumo.

some quarters because misunderstood.
and about which official and personal
motives are impugned, l would say
that the Rev bill, No. 102, for codify-
ing the oyster laws, is the consumma-
ton of four years of experience in
the management of oyster affairs
and the best legal advice that could be
procured on the subject.

US that the oyster laws as they now
are-scattered from Dan to Beersheba

construed, and he did not see how we
could enforce them. Some of them we
cannot enforce, because of faulty con-
struction and conflicting amendments.
To do it as best we could has cost the
State heavily, and several classes of
violators suffer immunity because of
these statutory entanglements. If the
codifed bill could be passed the State
would save many dollars.
Similar trouble is found in the fish
ing statutes, but to less degree. The
Lesner-Cooke fish measure would re-
lieve the situation, besides conserving
our fish and bringing in greater reye-

will they pass? No one is SEEM
ingiy opposing them, but unless we
can arouse greater interest in them
than is now apparent they will die on
the calendars, and fish and oyster
affairs will creep along in the same old
slipshod way for lack of powers of ad-
ministering them. A few years more
and we will awaken to the fact that
even far Louisiana has taken away
our trade and the Virginia oyster will
go a-begging."

RUIZ COMPLETE

Member Says Tonsers Will Vanish
Unless Baylor Lines Are Changed
IRichmond Times-pispatch.


SHOULD the people of Tidewater per-
sist IN their blind and utterly unreason-
able opposition to the change in the lines
of the Baylor Survey" said a prominent
member of the Legislature yesterday.
1.-THE ruin of the tongers in the James
IS likely to be complete. If they sue
coed IN preventing action by the Cen
eral Assembly which would permit the
Commission of Fisheries to properly
police the lines, they are likely to face
within few months the practical
abandonment of the river by the State. -
This view was brought forth as a result
OF the reported agreement to so fix the
lines as to make practically no change
in existing conditions. The member in
question has made a close study of the
situation and has been totally unable to
understand the opposition of SO many of
those who would, in his judgment, be
greatly benefited by the establishment
of the Lee lines.

1T is folly to continue the present policy
of spending $10,O a year in a vain
effort to guard the existing lines, when
the State gets revenue of only 81. OOO
from this source.
'The natural oyster rock in the James
is but an insignificant part of the total
oyster ground of the State. and it is
nothing short of ridiculous to spend one
fourth of the appropriation of the COM
mission to take care of this little strip.
"Such course is an injustice. not
only to the people of the other oyster
sections, but to those of the entire
State. The natural rock does not be-
long to the oystermen, as they seem to
think, but to all the people of Virginia.
and the appropriation should be so dis
tributed as to best care for the interests
of every person in the Commonwealth.
To do this, unless the lines are straight
ened, the best thing to be done is to cut
the amount of money used in the James
to the proportion it deserves of the
whole. The inevitable result will be
that those planters who are encroach-
ing on the public ground will have
greater opportunity to do so, and the
longer will suffer. On the other hand.
II the lines are Strengthened, we can SO
care Tor the grounds as to make them
far more valuable TO the oystermen.
IF the people of Tidewater will not
see the thing in this light, and if the
representatives of the rest of the State
VIII not take hold of the matter and ad-
minister justice for the good of all the
people of the State, the tongers must
be left to their fate. The great pity of
this will be the increasing scarcity of
the seed oyster, in the production of
which we cannot compete with Con-
necticut."

The Byrd liquor bill passed the house
today by vote of 81 to Is. This bill is
local option measure, pure and simple.
It's designed to strengthen the existing
Byrd liquor law, and its principal feature
is the elimination from the State of the
sale of NEAR beer"
The Committee on Chesapeake and
its Tributaries reported favorably the
Lion bill to permit outside capital to
come into Virginia to invest in the oys-
ter, crab and clam industries. 1t is
not contemplated to allow non-residents
to take up ground or to be permitted
to fish, oyster or crab, but only to lend
their money to residents. 1t is agreed
that this is being done now contrary to
law, but should be permitted openly to
build up our enterprises and produce a
market for our natural products.
The Curtis bill, prohibiting fishermen
from taking fish for the purpose of
making oil or fertilizer in the Chesa-
peake Bay was killed by the House
committee last week. Vigorous oppo-
sition was made to the bill by the fish
ermen who appeared before the COM
mittee. Captain Fisher. one of the
Fishermen present, declared that dur

BILE fish had been caught in the nets
