H, Sept. 21— Hawaii paid more in Federal tax collection than 16 States, accord- ing to official figures for the year ended June 30. Its payments to- taled $7,872,485 to the Federal treas- ury.

Then thei yield fell from 37 millions to 25 mil-| lions, over 5 millions below the pre- | vious low point. In the third per- iod the story was repeated with the great increase in the amount of| fishing in 1928, and the total catch| from that area fell to 22 millions' {in, 1930, at which time there was the most intensive fishing the banks had ever seen. Had the overfishing not stopped, there is no doubt that the total catch to be divided among the fleet must have fallen as much as it had before. Consideriny the increase in the gear run, it was to: be expected’ that the total catch from Area 2 would have fallen be- iow 18 millions pounds. Fish Given Chance “The Commission is, however, able to allow 4 millions of pounds more than this, for division among the fleet, due simply to the fact that the fish are now being given a chance to grow and reproduce. “It is plain enough for any intel- ligent man to see that the more the fishing and the more the gear run, the less the total catch which can be taken. A greater poundage per year can only be obtained through less fishing and less gear run per year. It is against all experience (Continuea on Page Seven) proceeded to anchor.
