SAVING OUR FISH LIFE
By Charles
THE continuing battle between commercial nd sports fish
, ing interests seems, to La sljftpijVg tip for another major
campaign in the forthcoming session of the Oregon state
legislature.
The Oregon Wildlife federation, meeting recently in Cor
vallis, devoted a major part of its debate to the matter of
serious depletion of fish life in Oregon streams, adopting,
as the outgrowth of its discussions demand for an investi
gation of the activities of the State Fish commission. The
federation also is seriously concerned with the problems
raised by federal flood control, irrigation and power pro.
jects, which call for construction of high dams, thereby in
terfering with fish conservation and propagation.
It is time, in our opinion, that this problem of preserva
tion of fish and wildlife received a little serious thinking

Postwar planners are predicting a tremendous tourist
business in Qrcgon when travel restrictions are lifted and
tires and gasoline again become plentiful. Good fishing
streams are the best attractions we can offer to secure find

Due to the fact that so many young men are in military
service, as well as to greatly reduced local and tourist fishing
because of gasoline rationing, the Umpnua river, for in
stance, was fished more lightly
In any recent year. There should have been record catches
by nearly every fisherman fortunate enough to get a chance
to whip the Btream. Yet it was one of the poorest seasons.
Year after year the fish life in the Umpci.ua river has been
growing less and less.
One of the very few 'streams in Oregon to show an im
provement this season was the Rogue river where commer
cial fishing was stopped several years ago. The Rogue river i

Lepresenlod by an able lobby with unlimited exnense

From an Inside View
Tuesday. Dec. 5. we are sched
uled to consider the bill which
will prevent the upping of the
social security tax rate. It is com
monly referred to as the bill to
"freeze" the social security tax
rate.
There may be some misunder
standing regarding this proposal.
The proposed "freeze" will have
no effect at all upon the benefit
payments made under the social
security law. It merely has to do
wiin me utx luvieu.
The facts seem to Indicate
rather dearly that there is no
necssity to double the amounts
now collected from all employes
and all employers for the social
security fund. The fund aready
built up is now 26 and 1-2 times
the amount annually paid Put In
benefits. Statistics made on the
basis of lite Insurance formulas
indicate that the present rate
could be continued lor ten years
if necessary without damage to
the reserve. The increase from
one per cent to two oer cent, if
it is not stopped by act of con
gress, will be nothing more than
a straight gross income tax of
one per cent on all wages IN
ADDITION TO ALL OTHRR
TAXES NOW BEING PAID. The
money will be paid In under the
name pi tne social security fund,
but it will be used by the treas
ury just about the same as any
other tax revenue.
The social security fund is pure
ly an entry on the bopks. The
money is spent as fast as (t comes
in. What happens is that govern
ment bonds are purchased with
the funds as they are received.
Intcrett at a rale of ?48 per cent
is paid. It is all an elaborate book
keeping transaction apparently
designed for the snip nurnnso nf
collecting more tax money with
out tne peopie realizing tnat they
are being taxed.
It is reported that, if congress
passes legislation to freeze the
rate at one per cent for the en
suing year, the President will ve
to it. There is some discussion of
lacKing it onto the extension
of the war powers act which, of
v-viuise, me president could not
veto. It remains to bp seen wheth
er or not this Will bo done in the
senate.
