THAT OYSTER BILL.
(From the ‘Vll‘a‘terinury Republican.)
~Lilo? ’several other newspapers, the
Waterbury American shows more
temper than knowledge of the l'l'tlI
facts when it discusses the proposed
commission to investigate the taxa-
tion of the oyster beds of (,‘olmecilclli.
it assumes, like those who have been
fighting the bill tlrat Lilley favored
and Weeks also wants passed. tirai a
system of taxation exists that will be
good enough if amended upon such
knowledge as can be gained by the
expenditure of a few potsage stamps.
and that if the facts arid figures to
base such an investigation upon are
not in the records of the shell fish
commission. such omission ls evi-
d nee. of gross incapacity or neglect.

slon.
The legislature is Just finding out
that the reason is not at all discredit:
able to tllat c.0nunist-llon The trouble
lies at the very foot of the. present
In of taxing oyster beds. They
'ilways have been asssessed like real
estate on land. a wholly wrong plan
because by it there. can be no possi-
ble relation between real value. based
on production and an arbitrary as-
sessment. Nonlun, howclI-r expel! ill
the business can do Justice by tilis
method to the growers or to the
state because no two piece sof oyster
property, even those immediately ad-
joining. are worth the same aluollnt.
‘and any certain piece of property
may be worth vastly more or less Ill
different years.
. The sweep of the tides. the chang-
ing character of the bottoms. the
destructive work of parasites cut a
figure in values such as is not match-
ed in any other ind stry. and yet all
these years the she lflsh commission
has been compelled to rely upon an
arbitrary assessment before which it
Wu and now is practrltully helpless
when It wants to do justice both to
the state and to the grower On the
other hand. Rhode Island wit-rely nev-
er parted with her grounds. She.
leases them. and the price that
lessees will pay forms an autmuatit
regulator of the state s'irrcomtv and
does justice to the grower because
the rent he pays must necessarily be
dr upon the wealth he can clean
the bottom. This is why Rhoda

~ To provide an entirely new system

bed and indifferent properties is a
necessity if justice is to be done both
to state and grower. The shellfish
commission can't do this. It hasn't
the authority. Whoever does it must
put in months of hard work, and In-
telligent application, for it will be no

HOW SALMON FINDS th WAY.
(E. T. Brewster in MeClure's.)
Salmon are hatched miles from the
sea. from eggs laid on the gravels at
the head-waters of the large rivers.
They come down stream with the cur-
rent. and'llve in the sea till adult.
Thereupon they ascend the rivers once
more, rush the rapids, jump the frills.
and finally, in their turn, deposit their
eggs in the sallows of the smaller
streams.
The problem, t on. Is: How does
salmon find its w y back to its birth-
place? n has linen maintained that
the fish remembers. Unfortunately.
there is no evidence that the fish has
any such conscious memorv while
there is abundant evidence for think-
lng it has not.
True explanation turns orlt to beE
somewhat complex. in the first place
fishes ill moving water tend to head up
stream. This is not an instinct. but a
soocalled tropism,‘ an impulse below
the level of Instinct. common at once
to salmon and to green peas. A like
tropism causes the house-plant to
grow toward the window.
so the tropism heads the salmon
up stream. while with the ripening
