FLORIDA FISH CONSERVATION

Shell Fish Commissioner T. r.
Hodges of Florida has made a report
of his work since July / when the
salt water fish law went into effect.
The collections and disbursements
from July l, 1915, 10 March 81, 1916.
were:
Receipts .... s25.69O.O0
Disbursements 15,6642
Balance on hand .,,... S,025.79
The commissioner says:
Not one cent of this money has
been collected from taxpayers Of
this state who are not engaged in
the fish or oyster business The
fish and oyster laws are not reve-
nue. poducers because the rate of
taxation is entirely too low to pro-
duce much over RUNNING expenses.
The average fisherman pays $1.05
on his boat annually and the fish
dealer pays five dollars for the privi-
lege Of engaging in the business, if
retail, and ten dollars if wholesale.
'It has been charged that the state
is maintaining a gunboat with which
to shoot down the fishermen of the
state and at an expense of several
hundred dollars per day. This state
ment. of course, is absolutely false.

GREAT PLAY COMING
TO PINNEY THEATER

"The Winning of Barbara WORTH
adapted from the book of the same
name by Mark Swain is proving one.
of the most successful plays artisti-
caliy and financially of all the book
plays presented in many years. This
play will be presented at the Pinney
Jan. and 10. There is good and
sufficient reason for this. l.. G. Voc
mans, the producer, believes that the
ordinary company of players and q
mediocre scenic production, does not
give satisfaction to theater-goers in
the smaller cities any more than it
would give satisfaction in the most
prominent play houses of the larger
cities He believes that things theat
rcal are as we'll known in Boise as in
Montreal or Philadelphia. and that
a good play is appreciated in this
city Just as much as in any other, con-
seqrently to warrant success he has
given careful attention to every de-
tail. He has staged THE Winning of
Barbara Worth. with the same lavish
ness: has engaged company Of play
ers sufficiently strong and has taken
care Of every requirement>as though
the play had no engagements except
those of the very largest cities in the
country. 1t is very often the case that
New York successes make UP several
companies to play outside the metrop-
oils. and that number three or four,
with cheap actors. cheap scenery and
run on a very economical basis, ex-
pect to do us much business as the
original. Mr.. Yeomans knows differ
ent, and he has taken care that there
shall be only one company playing this
success this season, and that II shall
compare in every requisite with the
best there is to give in the theatrical
world One scene in particular will
compare favorably with any effect
seen with any play in years; the sand

A Speech BY Justice Hughes

Mr.. Hughes addressed the New
York State Bar Association few eve
nings ago. Lawyers from every sec
ton Of the state attended, including
many who had never trequented associ'
alton meetings. They were drawn by
the fame Of he speaker, which has
been heightened by persistent rumors
Of his being drafted as a presidential
candidate. But there was no sugges'
ton Of politics in the Justices address,
in the ordinary sense Of the term.
Yet the speech bears every evidence
that the justice has not been burowing
into precedents 10 such an extent that
he has lost sight Of current problems
He dealt with several vital problems
with that keeness Of insight and skill
/ in clear expression for which he is just
| ly renowned.
The justice deplored the tendency
/ 10 impose administrative duties on the
courts, criticised statutes restricting
the exercise Of proper judicial author
ity, especially in regard TO instructing
juries, and urged reform in judicial
procedure. But the most interesting
part Of mis- speech to the layman was
lha, discussing state and federal re'
laiions. The justice seems to approve
the extended use ol federal power ovei
interstate commerce, an expressed II
the interstate commerce act. the anti
trust act, the safety appliance act, tht
Hepburn amendment, the food anC
drugs act the meat inspection act, tn,
