What Political Writers Say

Saving the Fish: The action fol
lowing the altogether laudable eff
fort Of w. H. Reinhart, head of the
conservation department of the
state, in saving and increasing the
| fish life in the streams of Ohio, is
| most enlightening. But there is ar
unfortunate attitude on the part OF
officials of counties, difficult to ex-
plain, except on the theory that a
deliberate effort is being made to
harass and impede the department
| for no other motive than that OF
petty partisan politics. The evident
object of the department has been
| to enforce measure of conserva-
tion with the least possible inter
ruption of the very finest of out
door sports And this has been ac-
complished with the result that no.
body is going to have to deny him
| self the pleasure of angling while
| the very material revenues derived
| from the sales of licenses probably
will remain nearly normal. That
other officials instead of showing a
spirit of cooperation should adopt
the short-sighted policy of attempt
ing to embarrass and retard an hon
est effort intended solely for the
good of the sport, is indeed unfor-
tunate.-The Daily Advertiser, Tiff
fin.
Governor Whites Economy: The
governor stepped in, fearless of Ger
tain criticisms, and chopped the
budgets. A shout of approval Went
up hailing him as the Great Econ
omist The shouting has not died
yet. The state has stamped him as
an executive who will not spend it's
money recklessly. A few days ago
he went to Washington and there ir
speech commended his economy
plan to the federal government.
And with those who believe wild
spending has gone too far he made
a hit.-H. Earl Wilson, writing for
the International News Service
Instead of burdening the state
with appointees, Governor White
has made elimination in every way
possible and the results are show
ing that the Is percent reduction in
operating expenses of state gov
ernment is effective. Figures bear
ing out the accomplishments of the
White regime are now being looked
upon by Ohio voters as rea!
achievement. They are not only
quieting to aspiring Democrats, but
disquieting to designing Repub-
licans. George Whites first term
will go down in history as an eco
nomic achievement.-Th News
Democrat, Georgetown.
Democratic Judicial Candidate:
Announcement of the candidacy OF
Carl V. Weygandt for the post of
chief justice of Ohio supreme court
brings into the contest for the
states highest judicial office type
of jurist who is worthy of that most
important place.
In seven years of service on COM
mon pleas and appellate benches
Judge Weygandt has proved his
hDiiils, CiiCi Sy anu LCdl " ucNOtt
himself whole-heartedly to the in
terest of justice.
His service has been recognized
by rapid promotion in the courts.
In each new post he has shown that
he merited such an advance. His
selection for the place as chief JUS
tice would be logical step and
service both to the court and the
people of Ohio. We are glad he is
to enter the race for the nomina-
tion.-The Cleveland Plain Dealer.
Cooperation in Congress: OF
course, the Democrats in congress
have done something lately to pro-
mote the political fortunes of Her.
bert Hoover, by working for mea-
sures which tend to promote the
national well-being, with which the
