Fishermen Hit Hard BY
Ruling
Fee OF 90 Gents a Ton Must Be
Paid on All Salmon Caught
During The Season
Canneries Are Excepted

Every private trap owner and
fisherman who has ished during the
present season must refund to the
State Of Washington 80 cents FOR
every ton of fish caught during the
season, according to an opinion just
BANDED down to State Fish Commits
sioner [. H. Darwin by Attorney
General W. v. Tanner. This means
that the revenue of the state fisher
les department will be more than
doubled as figures based on the esti-
mated pack of 100000 cases for
the Sound canneries will increase
the revenue approximately SIS, 900
Jor the year. Each canning compa-
ny is permitted to own three traps
under the state law. which provides
for separate schedule of fees to
be charged persons or firms engaged
in canning salmon. such fees being
based on the number of cases of sal
mon packed during the season.
The fish commissioner saws he
will enforce the law to the letter
and collecting of fees under the
new ruling will be started at once
and extended from the trap owners
to the smallest fisherman. Foreign
fishermen. who have left the count
Ery for the winter will be notified,
he declares. and their boats and
gear attached. if necessary.
A Grays Harbor canneryman
started the ball rolling according to
Mr.. Darwin, when he requested the
commissioner to get an opinion from
the attorney general on the section
ct the state law which provides
that in case any person or firm op-
Grating in Grays Harbor deals in
more than 100 tons of fish in sea-
son a fee Of 80 cents ton will be
charged for the excess. The law
provides that every person. firm or
corporation, either as principal
agent or employe, Except retail
dealers purchasing for their own
trade.) engaged in buying, selling,
preserving. or otherwise dealing in
salmon other than Gamers thereof.
shall before engaging in such busi-
ness, procure license from the
state fish commissioner to deal in
100 tons Of. salmon and pay $50 for
the license.
Evidently the exception Of cam
neries' and Gamers was made for
the purpose of preventing canneries
from paying double license fee on
salmon which they canned" the at
torney generals report reads. sand
in no way intended for an exemp-
tion for the payment Of license fees.
Persons, firms and corporations
engaged in handling such fish should
not be considered insofar as such
fish are concerned, as canneries
within the extent Of the statute,
even though they also deal in cann-
ed salmon.
You are therefore advised that
all persons. firms or corporations.
engaged In the business Of buying
and selling, preserving or otherwise
dealing in salmon other than can
ming such salmon. should pay the
fees prescribed. upon the amount .o1

opinion.

NO CAUSE FOR INTERVENTION
PRESIDENT TAFT's VIEWS ON MA.
DERO KILLING.
The United States Did All Possible
to Save the Deposed Mexi-
can Official.

New York, Feb. 24.-News Of the
killing of Madero and Suarez was
given President Taft as he boarded
the train for Washington after attend
ing service at st. Bartholomew
church. After reading the Associated
Press dispatch the president expressed
his deep regret at the occurrence but
made it clear that he regarded it as
the killing of one citizen of country
by fellow citizens
He said that while this government
had done all in its power and that it
consistently could to save Maderos
life, he saw in the deplorable occur.
renee itself, no cause for intervention.
The president said he. saw no reason
to call a cabinet meeting on his ar.
rival in Washington.
Washington, Feb. 24-Ambassador
Henry Lane Wilson telegraphed the
state department that Francisco de
la Barra, minister for foreign affairs,
had invited all foreign diplomats in
Mexico City to take luncheon with
him. The ambassador stated that
none of the diplomats would attend
the luncheon unless the tragic death
of former President Madero and for
mer Vice President Suarez is cleared
of mystery.
This decision on the part OF the dip
lomatic corps in the Mexican capital
indicates the gravity of the situation
which will confront the Huerta gov.
ernment should it fail to clear the
mystery in which the killing Of Ma
dero and Suarez still is enveloped.
No official comment was forthcom.
ing here on statements relating to the
tragedy made by Senor de la Barra
and Provisional President Huerta, but
it was taken for granted that if the
late leaders We're brntally murdered
as the result of a plot, the present
would be called upon for
an explanation when it seeks polit-
cal recognition at the hands of the
United States.
Thus it may be brought about that.
