In commenting on the editorial that
appeared IN THE EVENING JOUR-
NAL several days ago advocating
that steps be taken to join with
Maryland and Virginia in the con
servation Of the crab, Daniel Burton,
deputy collector OF internal revenue
said today that It was a splendid
suggestion. Mr.. Burton said that un-
less something is done there soon
would be no crabs in the waters OF
this State.

added that in his opinion the use Of
gill nets, eel pots and fixes was do

ONLY ONE PIECE
OF PIE AT A Time

The Capital News states that
David Burrell of American Falls, a
brother of E. A. Burrell of this city
is candidate for the position Of
Chief Clerk of the house OF repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Burrell was one Of
Oneida County's representatives in
the Eleventh session, and his legis-
lative experience would be of great
assistance to him in the discharge of
the duties of chief clerk, should be
be selected for the position.
James H. Wallis, who was chief
clerk during the tenth and eleventh
sessions, will probably not be in the
race for the position again, because
of the fact that he wants TO be re-
appointed state sanitary inspector.
Two years ago during the session OF
the Legislature, Mr.. Wallis held on.
to the Office of state sanitary'inspec.
tor while he was discharging the
duties of chief clerk of the house.
He also held the two jobs during
the extra session.
1t is generally understood that
Governor. .elect Haines has let il be
known that be is emphatically op-
posed to employees and appointees
of the state holding two positions
al the same time, and he has given
a general hint to all job hunters that
they must be content with one piece
of PIE alta time. For this reason
Mr.. Wallis has dropped ont of the
race for the chief clerkship, and ID
working TO secure the re-appoint.

has held for the past four years

and should Governor Haines con.

have deuce of a hard time finding

SUGGESTS A CHANGE
TN SCHOOL WORK

1t is now holidays and the schools
are taking vacation. Itseems to be
the rule, custom or habit for the pu-
pills to take their text books home
each night during the week in order
to prepare the work. assigned by the
teacher for the next day. That
seems to my mind to be q weakness
in our school system.
Now that our county school super
intendent, Mr. Alfred Hart, is taking
steps for the consolidation of the
schools of Bear Lake county, which
Is one Of the best steps that has ever
been taken: It will also be a wise
and intelligent plan for all the par
ents Of the county to rebel against
the fallacy of .'home getting lessons
