PAYING MR.. TITcoMs

John w TitcomD, state commits
sioner OF fish and game, is a rather
quick tempered gentleman who is
easily stirred to controversy that is
not always wise. At the same time
he is probably the most thorough and
competent fish culturlst in the United
States He has long and faithfully
served Vermont in the department of
fish and game and there are fifty
thousand Vermont men and boys in
terested in fishing
Under these circumstances it seems
strange thing that there should be
an effort at Montpelier to drive Mr..
Titcomb out of Vermont by a change
in the salary list which would fix his
salary at $4,000 per year while the
heads Of other departments get $4,000
per year, though their places could be
more easily filed than that of Mr. Tit
comb whose Office demands high de-
gree OF technical knowledge that is
hard to find No man OF red blood
will stand the humiliation that is pro-
posed fer Titcomb.
The st. Adams Messenger discuss.
es the matter in common sense ar
gument as follows:-
While it is perfectly proper and
highly desirable that the legislature
should enquire deeply into any effort
to raise the salaries of state officials,
ought constantly to bear in mind the
fact that sometimes the paying OF
salary commensurate with the value
of the man is in the end the surest
kind OF economy The Messenger be-
lieves that this applies to the case OF
Fish and Game Commissioner Tit
comb, whose salary 1t is now proposed
to increase to $4,000 year.
1t goes without saying that If the
state is going to maintain a fish and
game department 1t cannot afford to
have anything but good one headed
by an expert with suitable technical
knowledge. Mr. Titcomb qualities in
this regard His ability was endorsed
by the federal government by his ap-
pointment TO go to Argentina when
the government CT that sister repub
lie requested the United States to loan
IL highly qualified man to start a
FISH and game department on the
southern continent.
Is 1t necessary for Vermont to pay
so much attention to fish and game?
There can be no doubt of It, The
state spends thousands OF dollars
year in advertising Vermont as the
playground of the east. Most Yer
monters believe that the state has
future as a vacation land. New sum-
mer visitors demand attractions They
expect to find our streams and our
lakes stocked with fish. They expect
to find our hills and forests a sports.
mans paradise. They are not being
disappointed now. and conditions has
ever improving
Yet, unless we are constantly re.
stocking our streams and unless our
game laws are administered by
yigilant commissioner 1t will not be
long before all this will have been
changed so that we will not possess
the things which we advertise. The
poorest kind of advertising is that
which misrepresents, and if we are

not to maintain this department prop
erly, it would be better for us to save
the money we now put into adyertis
ing Vermont as summer-home land
II should also be taken into consid
Grafton that the fish and game de
partment not only is self-supportlng
but actually puts money into the state
treasury This fact is due in large
measure, If not entirely, TO Mr.. Tit.
comb. And If the salary is increased
it does not mean that any hand Will
be put into the state treasury. not in
the least: the receipts of the depai t.
ment will more than take care of the
enlarged salary charge.
OF course it is true that there are
other experts in the country beside
Titcomb. 1t is also true that there are
other places which would like to hire
our present commissioner. To-day,
he has an offer of $4,000 from neigh
boring state, but it would be his
choice to remain in Vermont at a les
ser salary which is perfectly under
standable through attachment to ones
own state and to O work into which
one had put so many years.
If new commissioner were to be
chosen and were Vermont TO do her
self justice and employ technical
man. the salary. in all probability
would have to be between two and
three thousand dollars year and the
new man would be stranger to Yer
mont and her fish and game situation
so that in a large measure, he would
have TO be educated over a longer or
shorter period OF time at the expense
of the state before he could give real
service. With the expressions q con-
fidence in Mr. Titcomb which were
made by sportsmen from all over the
state at Montpelier this week, coupled
with the facts that he is an acknowl-
edged expert with unmatched knowl-
edge of the Vermont situation and
that his department it self-support-

 No finer example of the workings of this humane spirit could be found than was displayed at last nights meeting when the citizens of Nome, impelled by the promptings of compassion gave vent to a righteous anger at the thought that human beings should be wantonly allowed to perish merely be- cause the only available means of succor were brutally and carelessly withheld to satisfy a mercenary ob- ject. and decided 10 take matters into their own hands.
