FISHERMAN
MOVING SOUTH
CAPT. EDWARDS TAKES FLEET TO
COAST OF MEXICO, ACCOUNT OF
NEW LAW IN THIS STATE.
FISHING AND OYSTERING FOR
BIDDEN ON TEXAS COAST DUR
ING SUMMER MONTHS TO PRE-
VENT DETERMINATIONS

On account OF the fact that the Tex
as legislature by law passed at its
last session places an embargo on fish
ing and oystering in Texas waters during
July and August one or two fishing fleets
have hied themselves to Mexican waters.
Yesterday Captain f. b. Edwards of
the Brownsville Fish Co.. made mani
fest for his three fishing boats and gaso-
line launch. together with all necessary
fishing outfits and tackle at the local
custom house. which he will sent right
away from Point Isabel.
This is the outfit owned by the Browns
eville Fish company and for two months
they will hook and seine the finnv tribe
and grabbe the succulent biyalve in
Mexican waters.
The new law states that no fish or
oysters may be taken from Texas coast
waters during the months of July ard
August of this year. and beginning with
next year, the closed season will be three
months pr year.
This law was passed at the suggestion
of the fish and oyster buyers and is de
signed to prevent the entire denuding
of gulf waters of those fish and oysters
which spawn during the summer months.

The EXTRA SESSION.

AS has been anticipated, Gov
ernor Hall has convened the
Legislature in extraordinary ses-
sion for September 9th. for the
sole purpose Of convoking a Con
stitutional Convention to consider
the question of refunding the
State debt which natures Oh jan
uary 1st. 1914.
This action Of the Governor is
made imperatively necessary by
the impossibility of selling. at
this time, a new issue of State
with which to take up the present
is. ue. Under existing law, the
State Board of Liquidation was
required to refund the present
debt by offering for sale the bonds
of the State, bearing 4 per cent
the same to be sold at not less
than par, and owing to the pres
strengency in the money mark
cts of the world, it has been
found impossible to float the
bonds. Only two courses remain
open in these circumstances 70
maintain the credit Of the State
which would suffer if the debt
maturing next January is not
met. Either bonds bearing a
higher rate than 4 per cent and
running for a longer period must
be issued, or short time obliga-
tions must be provided for 10 tide
over the interim between maturi.
ty af the present bonds and the
slfffe when a new issue of four pei
cent bonds can be sold.
A Constitutional Contention is,
under the circumstances, the
only method by which these ends
can be reached and the Journal
believes that the Convention
should be limited by the LegisIa-
ture in its powers solely to the
one question OF solving this State
debt problem. In other words. to
find ways and means of meeting
the outstanding bond issue with :
out going into the baby bond

bond question or any other.
There is no necessity, for 70.
vision OF our present Constitution.
with agitation of the liquor ques-
ton, womeD's suffrage and other
iseues, would, in our opinion, be
q calamity ut this time. With
the boil weevil in North Louisiana
and free sugar in South Louisi-
ana. the State has enough on it's
hands now without any political
agitation, Of which il had a sur
felt only last year.
BY all means let us have a

in sensible, patriotic and BUSH

SOUND VIEWS FROM SOUTH
LOUISIANA.

The Gazette has frequently had
occasion t. define what ii believes
TO be the attitude Of the people
Of North Louisiana towards the
Underwood Bill in all it's provis-
.ons and particularly as to the
schedule Of that bill dealing with
sugar. In that connection we
have expressed the view that
Senators Ransdell and Thornton
have the sincere and earne ST sup
port of North Louisiana in any
effort they have made or may
make to preserve the sugar in
dustry of their State by opposing
the sugar schedule atevery stage
of the passage of the dill, except
as to the vote on its final passage.
When that time arrives, we be-
lieve and we have expressed the
unalterabls opinion that it is the
duty of the senators to vote for
the bill.
We are glad that our views are
shared by our able contemporary,
the Lake Charles American
Press, which has always favored
and stood for protection of Lou
isiana industries and which 10
published in a section Of the
State where not only sugar is
produced but where lumber
(which is placed on the free list
by the Underwood Bill is manu-
featured in enormous quantities.
Says the American-Press:
''Senators Thornton and Rams
del! have done their full duty by
the sugar planters. Ii they were
fighting for God given priDci-
pie, affecting the welfare of the
nation, it would be right for them
to go down with it in to final and
irrevocable defeat; but as they
are fighting for what is essential
ly business advantage, it is not
proper that they should be called
upon to forego all hope Of other
advantages TO their State.
'They have commended for the
interest Of the sugar planters as
long as there was the fain.est
hope Of relief for them,' says
our conteinpory. +" Now, We

doubtedly will be if they commit
