WHAT ABOUT TT?

What about it Mr. Fish Commissioner? That's the question. What about stretching of a gill net across the Carter stream for the purpose of catching fish? Could it be that the bureau of fisheries issued permit to an indi- vidual to go up the stream, gather up all the fish he wants-or can dispose of and keep the rest of us out? Was that done; or can it be legally done? These questions are pertinent and as such. an answer to them all would be interest ing to many of us who are rather fond of special privileges such as that man-whoever he may be. is enjoying.
 It is no insignificant privilege when one thinks about it. especially when the fish com mands such price as it does now However, the price of fish has nothing to do with the conserva- tion of our supply, and surely it cannot be said that if the Bureau of Fisheries generosity is so elastic as to extend so far as to grant special permits for it's destruction; ought to know it because we should like to help some; and in- cidentay help ourselves in catching fish while the catching is good; for if these privileges are given we shall have nothing to catch shortly.
 Where is our game warden who is supposed to be deputy fish commissioner? If we can find him may be able to learn how it is done; and that might help some.

THE VICIOUS CIRCLE.

From what we can gather the labor leaders have durned sight more sense than those mem- bers of congress who have been opposing the food bill. The labor leaders appear to be more concerned with the reduction of food prices than they are with increases in wages. They look upon food prices for the most part as abnormal and uniustified and do not believe the problem ought to be lodged by the expedient of raising the workingmens wages in order to allow them to meet the increased cost of living. They are right. in our opinion to think the root of the trouble can be eradicated only by eliminating food gambling, hoarding and wide margins of profit And the sooner the honest lawmakers follow this line of thought, the sooner they will reach the vicious circle working against the best interests of the entire country.
