CONSERVATION OF SALMON.

People waste good deal of time and effort il. discussing the question to whether the purse seners or the salmon traps are more responsible for the depletion of tho salmon supply of Alaska IL would seem to be very plain to any person that the depletion of the salmon supply is question invov- ing the quantity of fish taken out of the waters rather than of how they are taken out The salmon runs in Alaska waters capable of yielding certain amount of salmon for food without causing danger to the perpetuity of the fisheries industry
 II more than that much taken, the supply fo future years is put in jeopardy There is no system oi catching fish whereby certain percentage ot hsh can be taken from the water that increase the number of fish that remain in the water heyon the number that would remain if the percentage Of the fish were caught in some other manner
 To argue that fish may be taken by purse seiners without jeopardizng the supply while if the fish were caught in traps il would jeopardize the supply is :: good deal like contendins that would increase the water supply in cases where thc acres to be irrgatc are too many for the water that runs in a stream II the law would require the farmers to have the water carried to their fields in buckets instead of ditches. To force the adoption of more costly method oi doing a work is not scientific way to conserve the supply of material. It would be just as reasonable to compel the owners of placer gold ground to wash out their gold by the old banning process in order to proong the operatns as to ask those engaged in any other industry to abstain from the use of scientific methods
 If too many fish are being taken out of the waters of Alaska to permit the perpeuation of the supply tailed. The whole case. in nutshell. is 10 adopt such regulations will permit the proper number of fish 10 reach the spawning grounds This may be done in several ways by combination of several methods of procedure. The number of fish to be taken could be limited by an expert Commission

TOO LATE FOR FARMERS TARIFF
 TO HELP.

Mark Sullivan, Washington correspondent for the New York Post in well considered article calls attention to the futiliy of passing the special six months Fordney tariff bill that vetoed by President Wilson The bill he says, was designed
 to relieve conditions they existed last December when the American farmers still held their 1920 crops and the Canadians exporting their 1920 crop into the United States MT Sullivan shows that the Canadians have sold their surplus farm produce and the American farmers have disposed of practically all they hold, and have the whole market such it is, for the remainder that they still have on hand. On the other hand the passage of the is being urged for the psychological effect it will have the farmers. It is contended that it will be assurance the far.ners that their wants will be responded to- and that it will them not to restrict acreage they put in crops this year

there could be provided ample closed season. dis tricts sections fish inhabited waters could be closed to any of fishing for one or more seasons; the supply of naturally produced salmon could be augmented by scientifically conducted arti- fcial propagation An informed Commission might adopt many methods for conserving the fish that would not add to the cost of those taken from the waters.
 If the method of catching the fish is to be used to regulate the number of fish taken both trapping and seining could be stopped. certain way of re- ducng the number of fish taken would be to require fishermen to put salt the tails of the salmon as they swim in the water and then catch them by hand

 The gold was merely the first lure of the sub Arctic to daring souls Those who and toiled reaped great rewards But not all the treasure, not tithe of it, secured by the first onrush
 Nature has withheld her greater treasure for those yet to explore the land. Silver, and gold, and oil, and other riches have been bountfuy bestowed upon the Northland realm from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Arctic to where the frost belt borders the temperate

L A BONDS.

The manifest intent of the law on the subject
of the sale Of state bonds is that neither the state
of North Dakota, as such, nor any of it's agencies,
shall sell at less than par bonds which are intended
to become obligations of the state, for the payment
OF which the credit of the state is pledged. The re-
firing administration by means of transfers from
one department to another resembling tricks of
ledgerdemain, and by correspondence in, which the
contracts entered into are yelled and confused, has
undertaken to sell North Dakota bonds at consid-
erably less than par. Ordinarily one would sup
pose that such a process would at once be held IL
legal and be prohibited. The administration has
proceeded, however, on the theory that the law does
not mean what it says, and its present course in
this respect is}consistent with it's general perform
ance. The men who have been in charge of the
affairs of the state for some time past have assumed
either that the law does not mean what it says or
that they, being superior to the law, are at liberty
to proceed at their own pleasure, regardless of what
the law says or means.
Leaving the provisions of the law out of the
question, it does not make a great deal Of
difference in dollars and cents whether bonds
bearing a high rate of interest are sold at a
premium or bonds bearing a low rate are sold at a
the high interest and in the other the discount off
sets the low interest rate, provided the computa-
tons are accurately made.
But when bonds bearing a high rate of interest
are sold at a discount, something is the matter.
This is the present condition. 1t is granted that
FOR some little time past the market for bonds has
not been good. Consequently public bodies and
corporations needing to raise money have found it
necessary either to advance interest rates or accept
less than par for the securities. But if a state with
the resources of North Dakota cannot sell six per
cent bonds at par, we have,a situation which is not
to be accounted for solely on the theory of a tight
money market. Six per cent, with the privileges
and immunities attached to state bonds makes an
attractive investment even in stringent times, and
it is obvious that if nothing better than this can be
done it is time that somebody found out why.

FROM TWO THOUSAND YEARS AGO.

There have just been discovered in Egypt doc
uments which shed an interesting light on the Gus
toms of men and women who lived nearly two thou
sand years ago. The documents date back to the
of the Christian era, and la1nong them
are the records of contracts made between individ-
uals relating the transfer Of property and the ad-
Justment of other relations in the time of the Ro-
man emperors, when most Of the civilized world
was under the sway of Rome. {
Many of the contracts are just about such as
might be made between individuals today. They
relate to the commonplace of life, the sale of a BIT
OF land, the payment of a sum of money, an en-
gagement to perform work, and so on. There is
nothing strange about the records, but their-discoy-
cry helps to bring up a little more closely into touch
with the people Of long ago, and to appreciate their
similarity IN all essentials to ourselves.
Those people of centuries ago were the ordinary
beings of their time, absorbed in the conduct of their
daily affairs, striving to- provide for their necessi-
ties and TO ~cumul as they might in order to be
ready for old age and-emergencies. And in these
records, as in all that have elsewhere been discoy-
cred, we have evidence that progress toward great
er comfort and wider knowledge have been accom-
panied always and everywhere by that recognition
OF the right OF private property which has Of late
been made the target for so many attacks. and
which dreamers on the one hand and idlers on the
other have sought to destroy.
Without recognition Of the righteo of the indiyid-
nal to the ownership and enjoyment of the product
Of his own effort, whether Of brain or Of hand, the
human race wotld never have begun its progress
toward civilization.

THE ALAND

= The problem of the disposition of the Aland
Islands was regarded by most people as providing
"a real test of the effectiveness of the League of Ma.
lions in settling international controversies. These
islands, occupying a position so close to the coasts
of Sweden and Finland and being regarded Of such
strategic importance were claimed by both couE-
tries, and the rival claims were pressed so visor-
ously that for a time it seemed almost certain that
the situation would result in war. The subject was
referred to the League of Nations for settlement.
lhe whole situation was surveyed and a disposition
OF the islands was agreed upon by the League. The
decision reached and its acceptance by tie nations
chiefly interested is generally regarded as eifcctins
a settlement of one of the knottiest problems in
northern Europe, and the warm friends OF the
League of Nations are highly gratihed at the re-
suit. The convention which has determined the
disposition to be- made of the Aland Islards has
been adopted by Germany, Denmark, Estl:o,ja,
Finland, France, Great Britain, Italy, Latvia, Po-
land, and Sweden. These are the nations most
closely concerned and it is extremely unlikely that
any other nation, with the possible exception O.:
Russia, will at any time question the decision which
has been made. The Soviet government oi Russia
refused to approve any change in the status of the
islands not negotiated in the presence of iti own
representatives, but by declaring that it compile
ments without in any way impairing the previous
naturalization convention signed by Russia iii 1856,
the new convention is held to have disposed If any
possible excuse, for future interference or the part
of Russia.
Under the terms of the convention concluded
at Geneva on Oct. 20, it becomes impossible ior
Finland to create or maintain any military. naval
or aerial establishments within the neutralizcd
zone. Nor can that power install within the zone
any other establishments that may be used for pur
poses OF war. 1t cannot despatch military. naval
or aerial forces to the islands except in Sc iar as the
convention specifically provides for the purposes OF
maintaining order in the islands. The manufac-
ture, importation, translation or re-exportation OF
arms or war materials are absolutely prohibited as
far as the zone is concerned. In a case of threat
ened violation of the neutrality of the islands by
another power, Finland is entitled to take necessary
steps for their protection, but only until the rest Of
the powers signing the convention have time to in.
tervene iresuch manner as they may deem required
In order to maintain the convention and tc
prevent its violation, the contracting parties I'm.
dertake. singly or jointly, to report. to the Council
Of the League Of Nations, with which body rests
the duty Of deciding what measures are to be taker
to provide against or to punish such violations. In
taking action Of this kind, the Council is entitled te
violating the established requirement for unanimit,
in all action.
