annoying insistence to buy more than
one wants, or something that is not

Gnmc Laws md the Farmer

10 the Editor OF The Times Dispatch:
Sir.--We notice from the papers that
the Legislature wants more game laws
to protect the game from being en-
terminated by the hunters. Why is II
that the farmers wish game laws to
protect their game VIC are unable to
comprehend 1t seems to me that the
game laws should be made by each
landowner, and not by the state. II
the farmer would post his land against
the city huntsman. we would need no
laws for protection of game. The land
owner is the man who pays the taxes
and If he would protect his game from
the visitor. ] guarantee that the city
felix would stop interfering with the
game laws.
They have now suggested every man
paying special gun license, which is.
OF course. especially for the benefit of
themselves, and not for the country
man or the landowner. as We all know
that practically every man from town
pays for the use OF gun for few
days and then returns it after his
hunt is over, or else borrows n gun
from a friend. FARMER.

who does not append her own name,
states that the "antis" OF Ohio and tho
liquor interests are closely bound TO-
gether in bonds OF fellowship Such n
malicious assertion is but the echo OF
the well-known cry OF tho suffracists
each time they arc defeated.
In the Ohio election of 1914 woman
suffrage lost by n majority of 1S3.-
451. while prohibition was defeated
by only S3.371 votes. nearly 100, 400 less
than woman suffrage. What were those
100000 prohibitionists doing that tbcv
rejected woman suffrage while voting
to make Ohio dry? IL they had faith
i'm the potency of woman SUFFRAGE vs
prohibition. surely then was the opnor-
tunity of proving faith by deeds-pcr-
haps tho suffragists can explain tho
oversight.

Citations have offered their books for
tho inspection OF the public in proof
that not one dollar OF liquor money"
has ever been accepted to resist votes
for women i'm Ohio. That offer still
holds Good-but what of the sufrragists
and tho liquor interests? Nevada suf-
fragists made mn open appeal for saloon
support, addressing an advertisement

Mysteries md tho Party.

To the Editor OF The Times .Diyna,ch:
Sir-Wc see the Lowcry bill to col
'ect those back capitation taxes has
been again introduced in The levis-
i"turc. IT passed tho House OF Dele
gates before By vote Of GO 20 II. and
%ci was sidetracked. as 1t will doubt
less be again. We have not seen n
text OF the bill. but it would seem an
easy matter for the Legislature to
order Mr. Moore to require the county
trcasurcrs TO collect these taxes The
commission on them may not pay any
one fortune. but while the deputies
are collecting the other taxes through
the nciehborhood they could Kill two
birds with one stone and collect all
as they go.
There seems quite scramble to 20
after the millionaircs' back taxes. and
some of tho examiners Of records arc
making fabulous commissions Mr..
Moore seems bent on making an en-
Ytahle record by ransacking tho state
with Sruellng Investigations into
every conceivable class Of TAX dodg-
ers." but at the same time is forming
Il very unsavory record OF lodging his
duty in seeing that back poll taxes
amounting TO hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars. arc left uncollccted.
We farmers, whose taxes have been
in some instances nearly doubled. are
not all rs enthusiastic over the policy
of the Democrats in multiplying, Of
aces ana Increasing extravaganza school
appropriations, free books. etc. when
those whose children we arc cduca;in..
arc not even required To paw their can
itation taxes. Some OF our county
trcasurers arc collecting n 50cen,
special capitation tax that goes to the
roads. and yet We arc told II does not
pay TO collect these accumulated hocI,
poll taxes.

this policy borrowed from the Social
lists? Is the party so firmly intrenched
IN power that IL thinks il can dcfv the

that. AS the present requirements for
high school teachers call for two or
more years in college, and no college
is provided by the State for women II
has been Impossible 10 find enough

sitions.
Another economic loss is that teach

where women are educated at the cX-
pensc of the people, while our own
women must take inferior positions,
here and elsewhere. In view of the
fact that 20 per cent OF the SCHOOL

IL not plainly be to the advantage Of
the taxpayers TO use the equipment
they have already provided at tho State
university to educate VIRGINIA women
to supply this demand in our public
schools. and, incidentally. keep the
money paid in salaries at home too?

Legislation. and after closely following
the argument of both sides, it appears
TO nae that the fundamental reason why
the seed line should not be extended
remains untouched. One must rcalZc
that the vital object to be sought in this
should be conserved, not in particular
for the longer or packer. but for So
cicty at large.
Let's get clearly into our minds the
object of a so-called seed line. II is
surely plain enough. conditions be
ing natural. that where nature deposits
the oyster spawn. provided il will ma
turc. there 1t should remain until ready
TO be placed Oh the market. Any other
disposition of 1t can have but one OF
two ultimate aims: that of making an
artificial job for some one, or that
of compelling the consuming public to
pay more for it's oysters than it should.
am aware that this Is the tendency.
Intentionally or not, of all protective
tariffs but such is unbecoming the
thought of Il Democratic Legislature in
a professcdly Democratic state.
Nature has made of the James River
4 vast oyster depository, which extends
from its mouth to fresh water. or to
where salt water nominally reaches.
Heavy r'ins in the Virginia mountains
cause periodical frcshcts to come down
the river. and this rush of fresh water
backs the salt water into tho bay to n
point III the river where the oyster
cannot live, It being solely a salt water
fish. and all this vast young catch
amounting 10 millions of oysters. per-
ishes. This condition happens so fire.
qucntly that the oysters thus entrappcd
between what is first salt and then
fresh water can never mature or but
rarely do. In order to conserve this
loss, which otherwise is no mans gain
n seed line is designated by law No
other object for such Legislation would
be proper either in economics or morals.
Who are so strenuously cndeavoring
TO put this legislation through? Not
even the most ardent advocate of this
!lnc-eXtcnsion program Will for an in
slant contend that these oysters will
not mature and become wholesome
food product where they strike nor
that there is any law cxtant which
prevents the tongcrs from catching and
selling them where they please and to
whom they choose after they have MA
turcd. Has all our experience of the
last twenty years been in vain" Perish
the thought
AS to extending the season to take
in April. all precedent rather impcls
us TO advocate the taking away of
March, except for possibly the seed
longing. Maryland waters for the past
eight years have yielded an abundance
OF small oysters, the like of which
has been unequaled in a generation. yet
no one advocated extending her season
which closes tho last day OF every Feb
ruary. nor did they advocate inaugu-
rating seed law, or, if so. such pro-
poSalS fell on deaf SlrS. Investirate
the history Of any other sea- food prod
net that might be mentioned along the
entire Atlantic coast, from Maine to
Florida. be it fish or fowl. and the
tendency has always and forever been
tho samc-to lessen rather than pro-
long seasons.
