The Highway Commission

The Highway Commission
was created by legislative en-
actment. That original law
gave the Governor the right
to appoint such commission
ers. The current Legislature
made a change in the law
the so-called ripper" legisla-
tion-and among other things
took away from the Governor
the right to appoint the High
way Commissioners for a
stipulated period and named
those commissioners in the
law. By that procedure con-
troll of the Commission passed
from the Democrats to the
Republicans. That partisan
advantage is what the Cover
nor really objects to. But no
shadow of illegality hangs
over the method followed.
The issue today, however,
is not whether the ripper"
bills are good or bad. The
time to discuss this matter
has long gone by. The ques-
tion today is whether govern
ment by reason or govern
ment by childish spite shall
prevail. We now know the
Governors answer. 1t is not
the answer of the humanitar-
ian or the statesman but the
answer of the politician.
Neither is it the answer the
people themselves will give
when once the opportunity is
presented them to make their
decision"

SERVICE
FOR ORCHARDS
Continued from Page one>

from the Kent county extension
office on May 13. Ever since this
orchard spray service was estab-
lished several years ago it has
been the policy of the University
of Delaware and the State Board
Of Agriculture to place this infor-
nation before every fruit grower
in the state The first cover spray
for apples should be applied from
ten days to two weeks after the
petal fall spray, and should con-
sist Of pounds of lead arsenate
and 5 pounds Of hydrated lime to
100 gallons of water. In orchards
where codling moth infestation is
severe, the quantity Of lead should
be increased to 4 pounds for more
effective control. IF apple scab is
under control, the fungicide should
consist of 10 pounds of fotation
paste, or to 6 pounds Of micro
scopically fine dry wettable sulfur.
In orchards where scab remains a
problem, however, growers are ad-
vised to use one gallon of liquid
lime sulfur with pounds of fiota-
tion paste in addition to the arsen-
ate of lead and hydrated lime as
mentioned in the above paragraph.
This spray may cause some injury
to the leaves and fruit, but its use
is justified in an effort to prevent
the further spread of apple scab.
In regard to peaches, the first COW
er spray should be applied two
weeks following the shuck spray,
and should consist of 2 pounds Of
lead arsenate, 5 pounds of lime,
and A pounds of zinc sulfate, in ad-
dition to 8 pounds of fiotation sui
fur paste or dry wettable sulfur,
as recommended by the manufac-
turer, to 100 gallons of water. The
Transformation of over-wintered
Oriental fruit moth larvae is prac-
tically complete, but with warmer
temperatures there has been a
marked increase in curculio abund-
ance and activity in various peach
orchards throughout the state.
During the spring and summer
months other editions of orchard
spray notes will be distributed to
the fruit growers with recommen-
dations relative to spray materials
and dates of application.

money for the care of the sick
and helpless of his state he
performed an act as cruel as
that of a small boy who tor
lures his neighbor's cat in or
der to "get square" with the
neighbor's son.
The Governor says again he
disapproves of some of the
bills passed by the Legisla-
ture. That is his undoubted
privilege, and there may be
those who agree with him,
but it furnishes no excuse
whatever for his callous disre-
gard of the poor and INDECENT.
Even granting that he may be
right in his contention that
certain bills are bad, it has
never been true and is not
true today, that one wrong
can be corrected by commit
ting another.
1t is almost unbelievable
that a Governor should offer
a proposal to the Legislature
of the kind which Mr.. McMul-
len has now made. If, he says
with brutal directness, the
majority will repeal bills
which he does not like, he will
move to secure the passage of
measures everywhere conced-
ed to be socially desirable and
even vital to the welfare of
the people. Otherwise, he de-
clares-with equal coldness-
the sick can be turned into the
streets and his neighbor's
buildings can burn down.
This veto message, we are
bound to say, does not sound
like the Governor. 1t shows
him as anything but the kind
", charitable gentleman
which he is personally. The
explanation must be that he
has been given very bad adj
vice and that somehow he has
been persuaded to accept it.
But the effect on the people
and the business of the state
remains the same. To salts
fly a petty spite, to force a
majority to yield to the min
ority, many fine citizens of
Delaware must be tormented
and subjected to privation
and many others must live in
constant fear of destruction
of their property.
The Governor says, with a
fine sense Of pride, that he is
the Chief Executive "of the
whole people" We wish that
he might have it by action as
well as word. In that event
he never would have taken
the unworthy attitude that
surrender to a small minority
must be the price of support
for state services designed in
the interests Of all.
If we are to believe the
Governor, the Republican ma
jority, in enacting so called
ripper" legislation, acted
without warrant Of law. That,
of course, is not the case,

tive of that legislation may be

the International Fisheries Commission and whose work behalf of Alaskas fisheries is outstanding and well known points out the importance of the Alaskan fisheries to the commercial well being of Seattle In 1887 the exports from Seattle alone to Alaska were S38 100000 in value against only $14200000 to all Orient And for the period from 1911 to 1886 Seat tie accounted for 83 310 percent of the total north bound shipment of S75000O00o
 Seattle is said in North Pacific Fisheries" to occupy "a dual position the entrepot of Alaska trade and the fishery capital of the entire area This port has the largest commercial interest in fishing banks of any city in the country. It is the home port and the chief outftting center for the salmon fishing fleet and the American halibut fleet of Alaska and Puget Sound, as well of the coastal common carrier fleet that furnishes much of the transportation for the salmon canneries of Alaska"
 The authors again emphasize the necessity for the preservation of the fishery resources of this Coast from uncontrolled exploitation. They point with ad niraton to the remarkable restoration of the halbut banks as result of the intelligent cooperation of Can ada and the United States They urge that this serve not only as pattern for these friendly American nations but for all the world.

An Unreal Distinction
(Cincinnati Enquirer)

Cincinnati Enqurer)
 Former President Herbert Hoover has proposed compromise formula" for neutrality, echoed later by Colonel Charles Lindbergh, which would forbid the export of offensive weapons to belgerents This intended to be half way between the embargo and the cash-and-carry program and to withhold those weapons which an aggressor might use dis tinct from defensive weapons.
 Tracing it back a little farther. this proposal stems from the scheme urged by MT. Hoover when he was President and when reduction on world wide basis seemed to be possibility He was much interested in the limitation of what he called offensive weapons"
 The intention of such plan is admirable. But the facts do not support it. You sometimes make valid distinction between aggressor and victim of aggression by probing the motives of the belliger ent governments. But you never can set up legti- mate distinction between offensive and defensive weapons which has any moral significance.
 The United States for example, might conceiv- ably be attacked some day If it's leaders were not asleep it would defend itself in the first instance with battleships and cruisers submarines, and bombing planes Those the weapons of first line of de- fense. Yet every of them is usually considered an offensive weapon
 On land it is much the same. No military power in modern times has ever won war, even war of defense by using wholly defensive tactics. If and when Germany launches tremendous offensive, the French and British will have to every type of weapon, including bombing planes, to combat that offensive. To allow the British and French to buy machine guns and anti-tank guns, and yet forbid them to buy heavy bombers would be to cripple them for logical reason.

FISHERIES UNDER DISCUSSION

The absolute necessity of protecting Alaskas fish cries against ruthless foreign exploitation is pointed out anew in book just off the press North Pacific Fisheries" by Prof Homer E. Gregory Of the College of Economies and Business of the University of Wash ington and Kathleen Barnes of the research staff of the American Council of the Institute of Pacific Re- lations.
 The authors do not attempt themselves to solve the legal problems involved in protecting the offshore fisheries The way in this regard has already been pointed by Prof. Joseph Walter Bingham of the Stan ford Law School who, with Stefan Reinsenfelt of the University of California dealt with the international law as applied to fisheries in the other half of the research program of which the book is part.
 Japanese threats labor troubles, practical conser- vation gear fights" transportation problems, taxa tion and finances, prices and marketing competition versus monopoly international cooperation, and the somewhat ominous dependence of Puget Sounds best and most reliable customer Alaska upon the prosperity of the fishing industrythese are some of the subjects dealt with in North Pacific Fisheries
 The authors review the history and effects of un- restricted fishing show how governmental regulation based upon scientific knowledge and effective enforce essential to the preservation of fisheries such as the salmon and habut; how control confined to three miles from shore would be wholly inadequate accordingly that protection of kind beyond such narrow range must be secured if these fisheries which much to the people of the Pacific Coast are to be maintained.
 Although our Western fishery statistics may not assume the proportions of great Eastern indus tries they are impressive people of the Northwest and utterly dominate the Alaska situation The Alaska fisheries alone represent investment of about one hundred million dollars with annual production of 60 to TO percent of that figure and directly or ind rectly give employment to about 50000 persons The Pacific Northwest including British Columbia and Alaska has an annual output of billion five hun dred million pounds Alaska Washington and oregon produce about 40 percent of the canned fish and by products of the whole United States
 For Alaska the fisheries not only represent the biggest production than half of the Territorys production of every knd) and the biggest payroll and tax support but they the basis for transportation service for every resident of the Territory regardless of his vocation for they alone furnish sufficient freight and passenger traffic justify adequate transporta- tion facilities
 Reviewing the book in the Seattle Pos-Intelli- gencer, Edward w. Allen, United States member Of
