APPROVE METHOD Of
PLANTING FISH EGGS
Government Experts Declare
Utah Department Is Follow
ing Proper Course.

That the criticism Of the methods
employed by the state fish and game
department in planting trout fry in the
state is unwarranted is the statement
Of Fred w Chambers. state fish and
game commissioner To back up his
assertion he has two letters received
Saturday from the commissioner of the
government bureau of fisheries The
letters received state that the best
method of planting fish is to place them
IN small streams tributary to larger
bodies of water where there is a good
amount of food and fresh water In
this manner from 70 to 80 per cent Of
the young fish can be saved,
The letters say that this is the meth
cd employed by the government, and
declare it is the proper method Mr..
Chambers says that formerly the fish
and game department did not plant
fish III that manner, but in recent years
it has. Therefore, the criticism which
has been made is contrary to the gov.
ernment ideas on the subject which
Mr.. Chambers says, are the results of
years Of experimenting.
The state hatcheries this year will
produce about 100000 fish eggs, the
young fish from which will he planted
in the streams Of the state. These eggs,
if purchased in tho east, would cost
about $4,000.

posed to Hayes Measure.

spectively to the protection of girls

certain cases, were considered. The
first was referred back 10 the author

mittee being that the provisions in

ported upon adversely.

for revision. The

gives jurisdiction outside Of the city
limits; gives the right Of eminent do
main; gives the commission powers be
yond those Of city governments, and
makes a two-third vote of the people
necessary for their recognition, rather
than n majority vote, as the commit
tee deemed advisable in keeping with
other municipal requirements.

lating TO the inheritance tax, lowering

SINGLE TAXER PAYS
CITY FLYING VISIT
Joseph Fels, Millionaire Soap
Maker, Spends Few Hours
Here Saturday.

Joseph Fels, the millionaire soap
maker of Philadelphia and London, ad-
vocate of the single tax. paid salt Lake
City a flying visit Saturday, arriving
from the coast late in the morning and
leaving for the east at clock.
Mr. E'els says that he wants to aboI-
ish the conditions that make tramps
and millionaires, and claims that the
single tax, proposed by Henry George,
will do this. The single tax idea is
to eliminate personal property, such as
buildings and improvements, from tax
alton and assess a tax upon land only,
In furthcrance of this idea Mr. Fels
has made possible funds in several
countries. In this country he has or
ganiZad the Fels Fund commission, to
which he contributes $4,000 year
for FIVE years. In addition he matches
dollar for dollar other funds raised by
the commission, of which Daniel Kief
er of Cincinnati is chairman, and Tom
johnson, Cleveland s exmayor, Lincoln
Steffens and Frederick c. Howe are
members.
Mr.. Fels started on the trip he now
is bringing to an end January to
ascertain how far conditions are ripe
in various states for bringing into op-
Grafton q measure of the single tax.
IL was largely through the aid OF
the Fels Fund commission, which ex-
pended $4,000, that the state OF Ore
gon was won over to home rule in taxa
tion at the last election says Mr..
Fels: land it is generally thought that
at the 1912 election a majority of the
counties will vote in favor of the single
tax
Mr.. Fcls will spend today with ex-
Senator Bucklin OF Colorado at Grand
Junction. Bucklin is one of the lead
ing single tax men of the country.
