escape to spawn and perpetuate it. Too often this does not happen, as is proved
 by the history of both our Atlantic and
 Pacific coast salmon fisheries. and the record of fisheries elsewhere which de- pend on fish with similar life habits. The progressive disappearance of sal mon along our coasts from California northward is a story whose repetition ought to warn us to protect it in Alaska before 1t is too late. The salmon pack not only represents pine-tenths of the output Of Alaska s commercial fish cries, but is an important contribution to our national food supply.
 Ut is vastly more easy to declare for protection and conservation of such a resource than to form an accurate and equitable program. Fish hatcheries have been established to restock streams, but the results are still con lectural and controversial. Argument is advanced for the abolition Of one method of fishing in one spot, the con- demnation of another type in another, and so on until there is a confusion of local controversies which no specific and exclusive prohibition will solve. Even in his cruder pursuit of the fish industry, the Indian seeks for himself the device which be would have denied to the canner But there is encoar- agement in the almost unanimous agreement in Alaska that regulation must and shall be enforced, and we must apply practical wisdom to the varied situations as the salvage of the industry demands. Against any kind of prohibition. 1t is urged that the i'm mense investment in Alaska s fisheries and canneries would be greatly injured by such reduction of the catch. To this it may well be replied that the cannerieS would better have their catches restricted by government regu- lation for time than extermnaJed in a few years through their own ex- cesses. By the establishment of re- serves along sections of the coast we have already accom- plished much. More restriction is necesxsry, and urgent. The conservation must be effected If Congress cannot agree upon a program of helpful legislation, the conservations and their regulations will be further extended by executive order. There is an obligation to the native Alaskan h. dian, which conscience demands US to fulfil. Moreover, the salvation of the industry is DO blow at vested interests; it is step toward protected investment and prompted public welfare. We have invited co operation, and in the great majority of cases it has been cordially and intelligently extended, If there is defiance, it is better to destroy the de- liant investor than to demolish @ na- tional resource, which needs only guarding against greed to remain permanent asset of incalcQla ble value Moreover, we have ever to guard against the appealeof. the demagogue, whose play on popular nrei udice for political advantage has no place in the solution of the great problems of na- tional conservatism.

do LAWMAKERS
GET ENOUGH PAY
That is Question Now Being
Raised at Trenton-Action
May be Taken

TRENTON, July 24.-'Is $500
sufficient pay for a good legislator %
This is the pertinent question which
now may be asked in state political
circles as the respective party lead
ers in the various counties of the
state gather to confer on the make
up of their assembly and senate tick
cts for the coming session. The last
legislature in many respects was re-
garded as a poor example OF what a
law-making body in a state of the
importance of New Jersey should be.
Much of the criticism was provoked
by the calibre of the personnel taken
as a whole and there were some peo-
pie who asked the question:
What a you expect for S5O0?'
There Is some compensation, out
side of money, in being elected to the
upper House, as prestige is given a
man with title of SENATOR" and this
makes up in a way for the lack of
financial return. There is not quite
as much distinction in the title of
assemblyman, although it ought to
be considered an honor to represent
the people in either branch of the
ldWIndklnS DOuy.
J However, it cuts three and some
times four months out of mans earn
ing capacity to come to Trenton
every year to legislate. That is men
whose ability is high enough to COM
mand real money in the business
world. These are the men whom the
state needs in the councils of state
government and yet private business

vice because it offers them fitting fl
nancial rewards.
One of the most important public
functions is the making of laws and
yet the state of New Jersey pays less
a year for this service than it does
for practically any other branch of
department of state-craft. The COM
bined salaries of the twenty-one
senators and sixty assemb1ymen is
but SAC, $500 a year.
About fifteen years ago a consti-
tutional amendment was proposed
which would have made the pay of a
senator and assemblyman $1,000 a
year. 1t was submitted to the people
along with several changes to the
fundamental law and went down to
defeat in 1909 along with the others.
The voters threw a single blanket of
opposition rel all the amendments.
so the salary raiser was lost with the
rest.
In the absence Of a real salary
for a lawmaker New Jersey loses,
In the belief of some observers. be-
cause men of ability would like to
serve cannot afford to spend their
time here in the winter at a per-
sonal sacrifice in the way of money.
OF course this does not mean that
some men of ability and calibre
cannot be found in each Legislature.
For each house usually has a small
quota, but it is felt there would be

FIREMEN'S CELEBRATION
SUCCESS AT SO. AMBOY

SOUTH AMBOY, July 24.-The
big jubilee celebration being carried
on by the members of the Mechan-
icsville Hose Company on the Stew
ensdale grounds, is meeting with
great success. The rain and general
weather condition of Saturday ham,
pered the financial end of the af-
fair on hat night but a great throng
OF people were on hand last night
to join in the celebration. that marks
the thirty years existence of the
Mechanicsville Hose Company.
Stevensdale is considered an ideal
spot to hold a celebration of this
sort, especially since the Hole in
the Wall is closed to traffic. Hun
dreds of persons with ears were able
to park their machines in and
about the grounds. Ridgeway ave-
nue., especially held no small num-
Der of the pleasure vehicles.
Chairman Kurowski seems well
pleased with the cooperation he
and his committee are meeting with
on the part Of the public, and their
friends. The members who were
in charge of the booths, were kept
exceptionally busy all last evening.
They seem anxious to work and are
hoping that the dale" will be a
magnet for great crowds all week.
The jubilee will close on next Sat-
urday night. During the week the
committee hopes to get rid of hun
dreds of dollars worth of merchan-
disc, the profit from which will go
toward paying off the debt on the
fire house.
A band of six pieces is keeping
the dancers in a happy mood, as well
as adding life to the surroundings.
A good dance floor has been erected
by the committee.

SIGNS CONFUSE DRIVERS

sign on one side of the street at

which faces the ferry and reads all
trucks take Arthur Kill road and
another sign in the shape of an ar
row that reads one way traffic, is
confusing to a number of automo-

The large sign for the trucks was
placed in position by the highway
department at the time of the COM
pletion of the new Amboy road
pavement which is forbidden to
heavy traffic and the n way signs
were placed in position by the po-
lice department three Or four weeks

TWO WANT TOBE
CONGRESSMAN
Cosgrove and Prall Seek
Nomination from Staten
Island District

TOTTENVILLE, July 24.-A sue
cessor to the late Daniel j. Riordan.
as representative in congress from
the 18th congressional district
that includes the entire borough
of Richmond and part of the lower
section of Manhattan to be chosen
at the election this fall is al
ready attracting candidates for the
position, which Staten Island lays
claim to naming the man to be sent
to the lower house in Washington
the next time. As Staten island is
overwhelmingly Democratic in the
election of a congressman and the
lower part of Manhattan, which is
control by the veteran Tom Foley is
likewise naturally the Democratic
politicians are the only ones putting
forth a candidate for the kposition
nas yet.
Two are in the field already. They
are Aiming S. Prall, formerly head
Of the Board of Education. who has
the backing of Park Commissioner
Thomas Mckinley. the head of the
Richmond County Democratic Gem
eral Committee and Thomas f. Cos
grove an assemblyman who has serv-
ed his fourth term in the assembly at
Albany. Cosgrove who lost a leg
in the worlds war has the backing
of Foley for the job. Cosgrove in
sists that he is entitled to the place
because last year when he was in
duced to yield to his claims for the
nomination for state senator it was
understood he would be appointed
by Mayor Hylan as a city magistrate.
A bill was passed in the last legis-
lature creating a magistrates court
for Tottenville but when it came
before Hylan he vetoed the measure
and that threw Cosgrove out in the
cold SO now he wants to be congress-
man.
Prall who was named by Hylan
to the board of education and then
made a member of municipal tax
commission is believed to nave the
backing of the mayor for the posi-
ton of congressman. According to
the report on Staten Island the
a y is anxious to have a personal
spokesman at Washington who will
carry on his propaganda for enact
ment of a bill limiting powers Of the
federal courts in dealing with
ceivershi9s for local traction lines.
Prall who has served the Hylan
cause Faithfully at every turn
naturally has the enthusiastic en-
dorsement of the mayor.

SOUTH AMBOY RESIDENTS
WANT STREETS SPRINKLED

South Amboy, July 24.-The resi-
dents of Main street are up in arms
over the failure of the Public Service
Railway Company to sprinkle be-
tween their tracks. The dust caused
by the trolleys is said to be unbear-
able.
The matter has been before the
council on several occasions. Let
ters calling the attention of the rail-
way officials to the matter have done
little to remedy the situation, which
has become a nuisance.
1t was suggested at a recen meet
ing of the council, that the street
commissioner, take the city sprinkler
with one of the teams, drive along
the tracks in front of the cars. While
this Is considered a drastic method,
still, when the railway officials re-
fuse to comply with the ordinance Of
the city, the people seem justified in
compelling them to do 1t at any cost.
The News representative was told
by several interested persons that no
more than three times this summer
has the Public. Service Company
placed a sprinkler in this city.
Everyone approached upon the mat
ter were of the mind that the COM
pany should be compelled to look af-
ter the sprinkling of the roads.
1t is expected that at the meeting
of the Council tonight, this matter
will receive its final action. The last
time the matter was discussed at the
meeting of the council members
while harsh in their criticism, believ-
ed the company should be again adj
vised that the city wanted them to
live up to their franchise. 1t is I'M
derstood that the franchise states.
that the Public Service Company
shall sprinkle the streets where their
tracks are located twice a day, both
in the morning and in the afternoon.
