Here ia the total cost OF this
service for the different years: 1901,
s16,1O2.11; 1902, $16,SOO.S9; 1908.
$15,9s1.3O; 1904, SIS, 266.13;
1905, s.OOO.6S; 1906. $1s,5ss.ss;
1907; $1S,764.s7; 1908. $780,
76O.59; 1909, $23,34S.75; 1910,
$25.569.O9; 1911, 2s.164.74;
1912, $2s.6S1.S2; 1913, $751;
25SA7.
It will be noted the average cost
per year for this service for the four
years before the office of attorney
general was established was $751;
1871; for the last four years with
an attorney general it was $780,
1856. The average expense per
year for all the time since the Of
fee of attorney general was estab-
lished is $24,244.1S. So it is un-
controvertibly evident that it is
costing the state from $4,000 to
$4,000 more per year under pres
ent conditions that under the old.
The question is, are we getting that
much more service and value? We
think not but will leave it for the
champions of an attorney general to
show If we are.
OF course the figures given above
show that a large part of the in
crease is outside of the Office of at
torney general. The figures show a
large increase in the expenses of
states attorneys. The item of &c.
389.62 for special attorneys is I'M
doubtedly the work of the governor
in giving jobs to his friends as spe-
cial counsel and nothing the legal
authorities are responsible ror. But
when the figures of 1914 are made
public we expect some startling
figures of expense they are respons-
ible for. We reserve until some fu-
ture time suggestions regarding the
consolidation of this business. At
this time we simply ask those who
have tried to laugh out of court
our proposition that the Office of at
torney general be abolished, if it is
worth what it is costing the state?

How Long Shall Trout Be?

Considerable discussion has been
had over the six inch trout law and
the suggestion made that we should
limit the number of trout a fisher
man may take without regard to
size. This would mean the deple-
ton of the stock of trout in the
tributary streams that are now the
natural breeding and rearing
grounds of streams that furnish
fairly good six inch trout fishing.
This would materially reduce the
production of six inch trout in the
state.
Six inch trout are desirable be-
cause the capture of a trout six
inches or more in length is much
more satisfactory to a fisherman
than a small immature trout which
knows no better than to bite any
thing 1t can get into its mouth. The
presence of six inch trout in streams
is desirable because trout of that
size are able to reproduce healthy
strong fry, and so aid the artificial
efforts to restock trout streams. Six
inch trout in a word furnish better
fishing, and are a real aid in the
conservation Of good fishing.
The real question is which shall
the state attempt to do furnish
limited amount of inferior fishing
or a reasonable amount of good
sport with trout six inches or more
in length. 1t can do either. Sys-
tematic stocking of proper streams
and enforcement of the six inch law
is sure to produce more and more
fishing of that class. Fishing has
already been considerably improved
and If the state will continue the
policy it has established, fishing will
improve faster than it has in the
past. There is little reason to ex-
pect that a man who violates the
six inch law will more scrupulously
observe a law limiting the number
of trout he shall take. He violates
the present law because it is dis
tasteful to him and he would break
the proposed law for the same
reason.
We believe the greatest good can
be accomplished by enforcing the
six inch law and the planting of fry
and fingerlings according to the
most intelligent methods that past
experience has taught us.

THE Progressives are dying be-

ing in number and destructiveness
any visitation in recent years have
infested several farms In Windham
county recently, and over limited
areas crops have been nearly des-
troyed. In several places the yield
OF hay and oats will be very small,
and in at least one place a section
of the oat field will not be cut at
all.
At about eight o'clock, Monday
morning, W. f. Benson, who was
standing in front of the N. B. Blair
store in Morrisville, July 6, caught
sight of a good sized buck deer just
as it landed from a vault over the
fence between the Matthews house
and the browne buildings. From
there the little visitor jumped the
high picket fence behind the G. W.
Fitch residence, crossed Pleasant

several people in that vicinity. Meas

once of Attorney General.

Several newspapers have come out
fatty opposed to the proposition of
The Caledonian that the Office of at
torney general be abolished. They
give as reasons that the mistakes
and not the Office should be abolish
ed, and that an attorney general is
a necessity. We agree with the
contemporaries that the mistakes Of
an officer should not wreck the Of
fee, but are not fully convinced
that an attorney genera IS a neces-
sity nor that such an officer is
worth what he is costing the state.
The question whether the state is
getting it's moneys worth is always
a proper one, and we wish to pre-
sent the record as a partial answer
to that question.
Before the establishment of the
Office of attorney general the prose-
cutOrs in state cases were the states
attorney of the county and special
counsel assigned by the court to as
sist the states attorney. Since the
establishment of the office of attor-
ney general that officer has assisted
the states attorney in the prosecu-
ton of capital crimes. The state
ment Of expenses for the years 1901
to 1913, inclusive, enables one to
compare the cost of these officials
before the advent of an attorney
general with the cost under his man
agement. Here are the figures:

expect result in some very great i'm

The fact that E. A. Cook received
$2,1O1.43 for his services in the
telephone investigation and hearing
has been made public. Now will the
authorities also show how much he
received in the hearings on the ap-
praisal of railroads and telephones
and let the voters know in full how
much he received from the state
treasury. The refusal of Messrs.
Graham and Deavitt to charge for
their services is an Unexpectedly
generous act on their part and a SER
vice the state hardly ought to ask as
a gratuity.

One of the claims OF the democrats
before taking charge OF the admin
istration was that the republicans
we're too expensive and that the
democrats would reduce government
expenses. But the end of the first
fiscal year of democratic control
shows the expenses to have exceed
ed the expenses of the last year of
republican control (the most expen-
sive republican year of the last two
decades) by $45,754,24S. They also
show an excess of expenditures over
receipts of $1,O1O,5S2. This shows
it is one thing to promise economy
and quite another thing to produce
