TIDE LAND QUESTION AsLEet

So far as Land Commissioner G. v.
Savidge Is concerned no effort will be
made to induce the legislature to re-
submit the tide land amendment to
the constitution which was defeated
last November. This amendment was
sought by the port districts and while
state officials believe that the amend
spent was beaten largely because ii
Was not understood the matter is not
of great immediate concern to the
state.
What the amendment sought to &C.
complish was to permit the sale of
tide lands lying between the present
otter harbor line and the federal gov
ernment's outer pierhead line. The
federal government, which has control
over nayigable waters, every now and
then moves it's outer pier head line
farther from shore to enable the ex.
tension Of docks and warehouses to
accommodate vessels Of greater
length and deeper draught. Without
federal action extending the pier head
line and docks could not be pushed
into deeper water without being con-
sidered menace to navigation. The
state, OF course, owns the narrow strip
of water-covered land between the old
and new pier head lines and will con-
tinue to own 1t until it is sold or
leased. Some Of the port districts
which divide this revenue with the
state on 1926 per cent basis wanted
to get the additional revenue and in
spired the submission OF the constitu-
tional amendment.

FISHERIES YIELD REVENUE

The state fisheries department is
making money. The last legislature
held down the departments activities
and it will not spend over $3O5,OOO by
April 1. In the meantime collections
for licenses and other fees will
amount to $453,43S, it is estimated,
thus showing profit of more than
$148,000 for the biennium. At the
same time it has brought in this
money the department has vastly in.

Dan A. Scott, director of conserva-
tion and development, who prepared
the data upon which the legislature
has been asked to appropriate $780,
600 to buy seed wheat for the drought
stricken areas of the state, estimated
that 100000 acres of wheat land de-
pended for this years crop upon as
sistance rendered by the state. He fig
ured that because of the rise in grain
prices seed wheat would cost approx
mately $3.50 bushel to deliver to
the farmers who required it. While
there is big unpaid balance from
the loans Of seed wheat last spring,
Director Scott declared that when the
( farmers went through the worst
drought season in the states history
they had no chance to repay their
loans but would gladly do so with 4
fresh start this year. OF the seed

The smaller counties of the state
started early in their fight to take ad-
vantage of the constitutional amend
ment, approved last November, which
will permit the consolidation Of two
or more offices. A dozen Of the small
err counties were represented at eau
Gus held last week which outlined the
tentative program of combining the
offices of auditor and clerk; prescott
ing attorney and coroner; treasurer
and assessor. These consultations
would permit the abolition Of three
offices and by Offering slightly better
salaries probably attract more able
candidates for the positions left. the
solons from the small counties argued.
1t was an open question whether coun-
ties having population Of from 5000
to $4,000 would wish to take adyent-
age of the law and action was defer
red to give their representatives a
chance to hear from home.
