Ocean City's Fine Marlin Feast
Poor Chncoteogue's Famine
By Accident of Discovery

caught off Chincoteague in Vir-
ginia. Winter Quarter Lightship,
which marks one of the main mar
lin shoals, is directly off shore from
Chincoteague, II miles out. 1t is
80 miles south of Ocean City. OBJ
viously it would be much easier to
reach it by boat in less than an
hour from Chincoteague, yet anglers
take a 2l2 hour trip down from
Ocean City. That's because Ocean
City got the jump on its southern
neighbor.
The first marlin was landed at
the Maryland port and the anglers
t1ocked to it. leaving Chincoteague
to be forgotten.
The other main marlin shoal. the
Jack Spot, is as easy to reach. and
possibly easier, from Chincoteague
as from Ocean City. But Ocean CITY
was quick TO see its advantages. 1t

The day may come when it is a
better spot for marlin fishermen
than Ocean City. But it will need
good docks, good, experienced CAP
talns and guides, and good bridges
ana ferries to make it easily ac-
cessible by automobile.
Legislature Fails Place.
Some exploring must be done to
see II there are other marlin grounds
near Chincoteague. although it
could do more than very nicely with
Winter Quarter alone. But that
section OF the Atlantic coastline has
great possibilities and all that is
necessary Is that they be discovered
developed and publicized.
During the last session of the Vir-
glnla Legislature a bill was intro
duced to appropriate $1,000 for deep
sea exploration and fishing work of
the coast. 1t failed to pass. Had that
bill been adopted there is small
doubt that the results would have
been remarkable. and Chincoteapue
and other Virginia ports would reap
harvest of money from fishermen
the hrSt season that would more
than balance accounts.
The Virginia Deep Seas Fishing
ASSoclatlon-an organization of an
glers around Newport NeWs-is try
ing to do what the State should
nave done. 1t has raised about $1,000
and hired a professional fisherman.
Already his work is showing results.
Last Sunday he fished out of Chinco-
league and raised seven marlin and
caught four. Every one knew that
marlin were where he was fishing
because Ocean City boats were
catchlng them there. but this was
the first time Virginia boat had
scored. Through his work. Virginia
yet may take top spot in the big
game fishing picture.
West Indies Case Similar.
something of the same nature is
happening down in the British West
Indies.
Bimlnl and Cat Cay are fairly
close together. and both have good
nshlng Tor tuna, blue marlin and
other game species. Boats from both
spots frequently fish off their rivals
grounds.
When boat from Bimini catches

that marlin is registered as caught

By GEORGE HUBER.

BY a queer turn of the wheel OF
fortune Ocean City, Md, is called
the worlds greatest port for white
marlin fishing. The record shows
that last season over 1000 of those
fighting jumping jacks were landed
there and the little resort town is
reaping a. golden harvest of pub
licity which, in turn, brings with
it thousands of fishermen who
spend freely to test their strength
and skill against the white marlin.
Thirty miles to the south is the
sleepy little town and island of
Chincoteague, Va. When Lady
Luck passed out her favors Chin
colleague was behind the door. A
few unpainted oyster boats and
one-lung bottom fishing cruisers
loaf around the uninteresting look
ing docks and Chincoteague appears
for all the world like some out-of-
the-way Chesapeake Bay spot where
sleepy handline fishermen try for
hardhead, pOrgieS and black sea
bass.
Yet. but for the accident of hav-
ing the first marlin catch in 1884
landed at Ocean City instead of
Chincoteague, that latter spot would
be thriving game-tishing port with

near his left eye, but being unable
to see out of that eye because of
the fly he couldn't tell exactly
where.
SO he walked to the road,
hailed a passing mOtOriSt and
went to a doctor.
The medico found that the point
of the barbleSS hook had penetrated
Larry'S left eyelid but that it had
not touched the eyeball at all 1t
was simple matter to cut the hook
and draw it through without in
jury to the eye But had Larry
himself in moment of panic tried
to remove the hook he likely would
have at least torn the eyelid and
possibly damaged the eye.
Such Accidents Often Happen.
1t always is best while fishing to
be prepared for such accidents as
getting yourself hooked and always
YOU should keep your presence of
mind. Panis only will spoil every
thing. 1t is good policy to have
with you a sharp blade, such as a
razor, and wire ships of some sort
The kind you use for cutting wire
leaders will do.
Hooked fingers and ears are
not uncommon, and when that
does happen do not by any
means try to draw out the
hook.
1t will only become embedded
deeper and possibly it will tear the
flesh more than it already is torn
Snip off the eve Of the hook and
draw it through the other side of
your wound. The curve in the hook
will help in this. But if you try to
pull back on the hook the barb will
make the wound much worse.
And Still No Blues.
The bad news for today's fishing
report is that blues still are not in
the bay. They are past due, in the
lower part at least. but even though
the angling fraternity is dunning
them they refuse to come across.

CONSOLIDATING TAX

tax collection agencies wi IL bring a Series
of hearty cheers from those who pay
tTie biA-both because phder. such i,
plan they WOULD have. only, one bin to
pay, and because the bill would be some
what less.
Actually, however, the plan. is, more
important as weathervane than for the
several thousand dollars in savings it
would make for taxpayers of the. city
1t is important because it points the way,
in ElNCentro at least, to cheaper more
efficient government. If other cities of
the county follow through with similar
projects. Imperial Valley will have hlade
a big stride toward doing away with the
duplication which makes all government
so expensive.
yohnstone's plan, while not even hint
ing at such an eventuality, opens a
vista of consideration which night de-
serve the serious study of city, county
and all other municipal officials. 1t has
to do with the desirability Of, ,consolidat-
ing all municipal ,soreynmental units
which can be consolidated without work
' ing hardship on the people through loss
of efficient service. : IA
There are some functions of city
government which should remain IN the
hands of local Cgoverning group to pre-
vent the possibility of discrimination
against local areas There are other func-.
tions, however, which can be performed
just as easily, and far more cheaply,
from centralized office. Such offices
might be those of tax assessment and
collection, auditing, recording and pos
sibly even policing. ~-ise..-- =
Municipal government Throughout the
United States, just as i'll Imperial Val
ley, is a hangover from days when it took
a man several hours, by horseback or
wagon, to go from one town to another.
In those days each village had to have
some kind of government, standing alone,
or suffer the consequences. The same
is not true today.
Consolidation can save money in gov
ernment, whether the constellation is
effected entirely within one municipal
unit = such as consolidation of county
road districts-or brings together, separ-
ate units of separate municipal groups.
Only by thorough study Of the pUssi-
bilities will any group of people ever
know what savings are possible Others

NATIONAL DEBT
NEAR THE LIMIT
(RiVerSide Press

Uncle Sans counting honse made. Sig
nifieant history with an announcement
last week.
Last week the public debt made his
tory, when for. the first time, it rose
above the SAL ,0O0,00O,o00 mark. That
comes perilously close to the $45,O00,-
100000 limit, and forecasts almost GER
tain demands at the next session of com
gress for stretching that limit to at least
$1,000, 900 more.
1t is not likely that any reader of the
Press and Enterprise can visualize what
S4b0O0,000,O00 really means. Public
debt sounds impersonal and far away,
but the man in the street cannot afford
indifference to it.
The simple truth is that the national
debt of Sal 900, 200, 900 reached last week,
makes every man. woman and child IN
the country a debtor to the extent of
S3Tf: And that debt must be paid.
Te the. large per cent who pay no taxes
directly to the government, debt presents
its claims indirectly in a score of ways
Hidden taxes reach into the pockets of
the man on the street for every article
he buys, and frequently the more severe
the tax, the more Indirectly it strikes.
Instead of openly boosting living costs
or clogging the efficient distribution
lines, the puniti I've tax is saddled OH the
merchants goods and hits Mr.. and Mrs.
Consumer just the same though they
may not recognize.it. They pay it off in
higher living costs.
But those cost 81 can be checked
Holding more firmly the ,rei1s: on GOV

es, and dragging hidden ,leyiess out into
the open, we believe a, runaway public
debt could be bfought under control We

The barometer of. national IN
come is heading upwards again al
tdr its ascent was halted tempor-
afily by the 1888 recession With
the aid of the war boom, it is ex-
pected the income will hit the 10
billion mark predicted early this
year.
This is cheerful news to every
one but the unemployed. To them
statistics of national income don't
mean very muchs Before the war
bdgan, it was estimated that TO-
100000 persons were still without
employment in private industry.
This figure may have been reduced
some by the squirt resulting from
conflict abroad, but it is still too
close to the 10 million mark.
The average national income in
the United States during the past
2O years has been 73l2 billion dol
lats annually. The average num-
ber of persons unemployed each
YEAR during the same, period is six
million In other words, the appar-
emit national income for 1889 will
exceed the average by about six
billion dollars. But the number OF
unemployed, which should respond
to income figures conversely, is still
about four million above the arev-
age. j.#5 =.
National income figures have ne
YER been faithful Indicator of un-
employed. Even during the years
be fore 1929, income figures re-
acted Independently of employment
statistics because of a variety OF
almost incaiculable factors which
entered the picture.
For instance, in 1922 unemploy-
ment jumped sharply from z mil
lion the year before to Az million
but instead of declining, nationa
income showed Slight increase

Greatest discrepancies between tn,
two sets of figures are reflected
during Americas black years aftel
1929. Both employment and nationa
income settled down nearly Il
rock bottom after the Big Crash
The national income reached it

THE RULE DOES dE:s WORK w ,I5Kl
Iall Street JonlnaD

Taking part in the opening of an IN
dustrial plant the other day, Governor
Baldwin of Connecticut asserted that 1t
was the duty of government to do every
thing in its power to encourage produc-
ton in private enterprise. That was the
way, he said, to provide real jobs for
men and women who want to work, save,
get ahead, provide for themselves and
their children.
Nothing startlingly new in this, to be
sure Other officeholders have said much
the same thing. You may even call it
dull stuff. But if you dove don't
you have not subtracted one iota from its
truth You cannot get away from the
fact that it points to the only way by
which we shall permanently improve the
lot of millions of workers in mill, fac
tory, store, railroad trains and terminals.
When and as the production and distri-
button of industrial goods expands, the
farmers find reader markets for what
they raise.
To employers in business and industry
Governor Baldwin held out the promise
that if they would treat the people of
their communities fairly, they would re-
ceive fair treatment in return. This rule,
of course, does not always work perfect
ly, but by and large it works And 1t
works both ways If the people, through
their political representatives, treat big
and little business fairly they can de-
mand and get right social behavior from
business men.
