Electrocuting Valley Fish

Now that it has been definitely established that
streams can be rid Of gar and other predatory fish
by the use Of electricity, the Valley should proceed
ut once TO take steps to do SO.
The idea on its face may seem fantastic but it has
been demonstrated as most practicable. The current
is shot into the water from the front Of a slow NOV
ing boat. Immediately every fish in the vicinity IS
knocked cold, stunned. All Of them rise to the sur
face. are gathered into nets and the good separated
from the bad.
For many years the federal and state dep artments
OF fisheries have been experimenting along this line
with the result that this almost perfect method Of
eliminating non-edible and predatory fish from
streams has been developed.
In some instances streams have 10 be shot two
or three times to obtain the desired result but this
applies generally 10 streams with swift-moving cur
rents. This would not hold true in the resaca or the
arroyo or the canals.
The time Is rapidly coming when the Valley will
be an outstanding winter playground and nothing
is more alluring to tourists than good fishing. With
fish-hatcheries in the Valley. there is no reason why
every possible place should not be well stocked with
bass, brim, crappie, perch and other favorite fish.
Meanwhile. every effort should be made to keep
streams free from pollution. without going into the
question OF whether there is pollution at the pres
snt, The Herald wishes to go on record as believing
there is no excuse for any and being in favor to TAX
ing any reasonable steps to see that 1t is stopped.

Frisco Line Makes Another
Purchase

1t has come to pass that the St. Louis-San Fran
cisco Railroad company has purchased outright for
81. 800, 900, the entire capital stock of the Gulf. Texas
and Western Railway company. a 1oo-mie line run
ming from Salesville Junction north to Jacksboro and
from there northwest to Seymour. The line taps a
rich agricultural and mineral area and is to be op-
Grated by the Frisco as a valuable feeder line. It was
a cash deal involving no stock transactions.
Just now the Frisco people are begging the I. c. c.
for permission to build two extensions-one from YER
non to Seymour and the second from Seymour to Pa
ducah, where 1t would connect with another Frisco
subsidiary, Quanah, Acme and Pacific Railway COM
pany.
Why should the builders OF Texas. with the money
in the strong box and the right Of way secured, be
forced to bow the knee TO federal bureau on the
banks Of the Potomac to turn money loose in order
to extend the transportatin facilities of the people
Of Texas?

Mellon Banking Interests to Be
Merged

Merging Of banks is the order Of the day. A dis
patch from Pittsburgh carries the news that plans
for the acquisition Of rs or more banks in Western
Pennsylvania, in anticipation Of moves to legalize
branch banking, are understood to have been made
by the Mellon and Hillman banking interests in the
city Of Pittsburgh.
This is the age of big business.
Likewise. it is the machine age. 1t is the chain
system OF doing things. According 10 the census re-
turns, three million farmers deserted the rural dis
tricts in the ten-year period from 1920 to 1880 and
the statisticians Of New York and other important
American cities are insisting that there are 6.OOO.O0
unemployed workers in the 48 American states.
Back to the farm" is a slogan as dead as the dodo.
Now who is going to win the battle in the coming
years-the flesh and blood man or the steel robot?

A Banker on the Rack In
Old Virginia

In old Virginia here is a banker on the rack. He
is president Of a guarantee title and trust corporation.
A grand jury has billed him 1873 times. charging VIC
lation Of the state banking act and with grand lar
ceny.
His concern is defunct. Thousands Of persons
were said to have lost. some Of them heavily, on their
investment in mortgage bonds. In old Virginia. It
appears grand jurors hand a defaulting custodian OF
public property the hot end Of the poker.
Now, IL he is given 1872 trials by 1872 petit iuries, his
future will be dark indeed. A deliberate bank wrecker
is a gentleman who never walks with an Easter lily
in his hand, regardless Of his church membership or
high social position or beautiful p~latitudes as an
after dinner speaker.

Piping Texas Gas to Chicago

Formation Of two new companies to construct and
operate the projected Sl0000oJ000 T-exas-Chicago
natural gas pipeline was announced June II In Wall

It is announced the pipeline will have an initial
daily delivery capacity Of 100000. 900 cubic feet Of gas
and will serve more than so cities and communities in
Kansas. Nebraska, Iowa. Illinois. Indiana. Michigan
and Wisconsin.
Construction offices have been opened in Missouri

Wesley Jones' Pro Law Riddle

Sen. Wesley Jones Of the state Of Washington has
been d~isfigured. He is the author Of the five and ten
pro act. Now the senate with j. Wesley present, has
enacted a house bill modifying the Jones law to pro-
vide lighter penalties to petty offenders Of the prohi-
bition act. This is one Of the Wickersham committee
proposals. It provides that those convicted Of selling,
making or transporting less than a gallon Of liquor
are subject to a penalty Of not more than $500 and a
Jail sentence Of not more than six months. These
penalties will apply only if the defendant is not en-
gagged habitually IN the liquor traffic and has not
been convicted Of violation Of the dry laws for two
years before.
Sen. j. Wesley Jones law provided for a prison
term Of not less than five years and a fine Of not
more than $4,000 for all v~iolators Of the law. Pres.
Hoover viii give approval TO the amended act. Texas
has a Dean law. II IS as drastic as the original j.
Wesley act. which has been radically amended by the
American congress. 1t makes a violation Of the liquor
law a capital crime. and those who know say that
there are more than 1000 convicts in Texas today who
are mild offenders OF this law.
Indeed. 1910 cases were affirmed in two years by
The court Of criminal appeals, and 80 per cent Of
those cases came from the rural districts or sparsely
settled Texas counties. Possession OF a pint Of whisky
under the Dean law. or less than a pint for that mat
ter. carries with It 2 prison sentence and there are
many judges on the bench today who are advocates
alties for first offenders who are not criminals and
