THE 3IORXTXG OltEGONIAN, FKIDAT, JANTTAItT 2, 19?0. BILL WOULD ABOLISH FISH, GAME, BOARD Southern Oregonians Said to Be Tired of Commission. NEW SYSTEM IS PROPOSED Commercial Klshlng Interests to Support Hatcheries Counties to Enforce Laws. SALEM. Or., Jan. 1 (Special.) Fol lowing: closely upori the request of Governor Olcott that the legislature, in special session here this month, creato two commissions to handle the game and fish affairs of the state, and the announcement of the execu tive that failure to do this would re sult in the removal of the present members of the fish and game com mission, a letter was received here today from southern Orenon to the effect that a bill is in making there providing for the withdrawal of state aid to the commercial fishing inter ests and the complete abolishment of the commission. Under the provisions of the pro posed bill, as outlined in the letter received at the capltol, the hatcher ies and other plants directly connect ed with the propagation of fish and game would be supported wholly by fees collected from the commercial fishing interests, and would be under the supervision of the secretary of state or some other official. It is said in the letter that this plan not only would make the supervising of ficial directly responsible for the con duct of the hatcheries, but also would eliminate squabbling and bickerings such as are alleged to have marked the dealings of the fish and game commissions of this state during, the past ten years. It is proposed to further provide in the bill that all money from game and fish licenses shall be expended in the counties in which they are col lected, and the sheriff shall be re sponsible for the enforcement of the laws which are now intrusted to the state game warden and his deputies. In order to make the proposed law more effective, all deputy sheriffs, constables, municipal officers and precinct officials would be held equally responsible with the sheriff in bringing violators to justice. It also Is proposed to make the penalty for game and fish violations more drastic than under the present stat utes, and the minimum fine for any infraction would be 500. For a sec ond violation it would be incumbent upon the court to sentence the person convicted to a term In the county jaili without authority to parole. At the last session of the legisla ture there was appropriated for the presetit blennium a total of $102,400. of which 118,000 was set aside for the salary and expenses of the master fish warden and his denutles. S5400 for the salary of aclerk in the offices ot the master fish warden, and $82,000 for the operation of the salmon hatcheries. To meet this appropria tion, if the proposed bill abolishing the commission and withdrawing state aid is approved, the ' author of the measure wculd materially increase the fees of the commercial fishermen. Sponsors for the proposed new leg islation declare there is some doubt as to whether they will have the sup port of the legislature, but if not, thoy say they. will refer the measure to the people at the general election to be held throughout the state next November. In - conclusion the letter says: "The people have tired of attempt ing to regulate the game and fish af fairs of the state through appointive commissions, and it is the consensus of opinion in this section of Oregon that the voters would gladly abolish the board in the event it was placed on the ballot at a regular election." The proposed bill, as soon as it is prepared, .will be submitted for the attorney-general to pass upon ' its validity, according to its authors.
