THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM AND SUN-TELEGRAM, RICHMOND, IND., SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1922.

EMPHASIZES NEED FOR UNDERSTANDING OF FISH, GAME LAWS , Need for a clearer understanding of the basis of fish and game laws in the "United States and in this state in particular Is emphasized in a communication receired by John A. Holaday from, the department of conservation at Indianapolis. The letter takes up the history of fish and game laws, explains why they were passed and how the state happened to come into possession of all game within its borders. "When the fist settlers came to Indiana the state was a wilderness. It rays. Game was there in abundance, and the streams were thick with fish. "Game laws were considered unnecessary until about the year 1857, the rapid depletion of wild game in forest and stream forced the matter to the attention of the state. Then, and only then, was a code of laws put into effect The first fish law was enacted in 1867. Law Established. "Individuals who owned land within the borders of the state were disposed to question the right of an outside power to interfere with what thev con.

sidered their personal property. Only' r.fter a number of trials in court wasi

the validity of the law established. "According to the contention of the Ftate, as set forth . in these cases, the state had a right to provide such conditions as were of benefit to all the people and the individual had no right to set himself up against such conditions. "Lack of understanding is one of the greatest factors in making fish and game law violators. When every man, woman and child understands the reasons back of each law, they will be more likely to obey it."

hearings frequently run into weeks o

months. Often the chairman of the! committee must' preside for six or eight hours a day over hearings in which the witnesses are argumentative and contumacious. The drain on the vitality of the presiding officer is most serious. At the same time, while he is holding these hearings, he must not neglect the regular sessions of the senate, which go on simultaneously. Neither must he neglect his correspondence nor the ordinary work of his office. Need Younger Men The net of all that can be said about the mere factor of age is that some means should be provided by which a

younger man can take on his shoulders the immense burden of ha'd detailed work involved in an important committee chairmanship and that the older men should be given more leisure for reflection and greater opportunity to allow .the senate and the

country to have the benefit of their ex

perience and wisdom in the shape of speeches and discussions within the senate itself. There should be In the senate as there is among colleges and universities, the sort of position that, is known as "President Emeritus" or "Chairman Emeritus."

which I have been alluding is that

which proposes to bring it about that cabinet members shall sit in the senate and house and take part in the debates. This proposal in its present shape arose within congress in the shape of a -bill proposed by a member. In the course of building up sentiment for his proposal, he addressed letters to all the cabinet membersasking their views. Thereupon the matter was brought up at a cabinet . meeting, was discussed thoroughly, and the end was that the cabinet, including President Harding, gave the proposal their approval. From the point of view of Harding and the cabinet, the

If. on the other hand, there should be over a number of administrations a series of relatively weak personalities in the cabinet, and especially if this should coincide with the appearance of strong personalities in congress, the outcome might be to give congress some accrual of added, power to the

executive. Just now, it happens that

merit of the suggestion probably lies we have a cabinet with alhigh average in the fact that it is likely to provide of ability and foreefulnesfi. The pres-

to congress that leadership which everybody recognizes as a need. Whether the proposal will go

in the case of the abolition of the seniority rule. Most of the senators and congressmen, whose attitude the writer has had any opportunity of learning, either favor this innovation strongly or are at least not violently opposed to it. No one is quite clear as to what the final result of the innova-

Another vica of the seniority rule

is tnat Dy its nature it results in a condition in which practically every chairman of an important committee is an elderly man. The only young sen ator, who is chairman of an important committee, is Senator Wadsworth of New York, head of the committee on
