Stanton ;I !"; pREVI0USlAr we have repoked the intention of the Ore- goh Fish commission to jisk the state legislature for con tinuing 'appropriations to maintain its hatcherv nroirram. The Fish commission, in effect, is asking that taxpayers of uregon oe required to subsidize a private industry which mreaay nas virtually destroyed salmon runa in our coastal streams and now asks public support while Jt is in the pro cess of completing the task of extinction. Again we ask the rutestion, why should Oreuon taxmvers be required to subsidize private industry? There miirht be a reasonable answer if a substantial proportion of our popu lation was absolutely dependent upon commercial fishing for a livelihood. But, with the possible exception of the Co lumbia and Willamette rivers, such is not the case. Con mercial fishermen on the Rogue river quickly learned, when that stream was closed to net fishing, that guide service at $10 to $20 per day was far more profitable and pleasant than arduous net fishing. Many of our lower Umpqua fisher men have reached the same conclusion. All bur coastal streams, aside from the Columbia, are far more valuable for recreational purposes than for commercial But Ralph Watson, political editor of The Oregon Juunud, Portland, in the edition published Sunday, Jan. 7, reports : The Fish commission intends to ask the legislature to put it back on a straight appropriation-based arrangement where it would turn all poundage fees into the general fund and ask for an appropriation sufficiently in excess of that revenue to enable It to maintain hatcheries enough to Increase the salmon run, or at least not let it dwindle. Chairman John Veatoh explains he has been trying to sail the idea for several sessions but this time is buttressed by a $20,000 deficiency covered by the emergency board. (Continued Irom page 1) Important ones level, fairly open ground Jor tank lighting, good roads clear to Manila, etc. It seems almopt beyond belief that they could have overlooked this favorable spot. It Is, much more liekly that they decided against trying to hold the beaches themselves against the terrific lire we have proved ourselves to be capable of laying down in ad vance of a landing force. There was relatively little re sistance , when : we landed on Leyte, but plenty of hard fighting came after we had moved inland beyond, the range , of our cover ing naval Jire. v htl Is highly probable. that this name situation will develop on Luzon. BUT utj.leust ,we are ashore, and the dispatches Indicate rather dearly that we have widened our beachheads enough to enable us to met the Inevitable Jap counter attacks when they come. That Is a big achievement. CHAIRMAN VBATCH is further quoted, in support of hi, proposal, that "sports fishermen catch about as man' salmon as commercial fishermen, pay no poundage taxes fnd contribute nothing to hatchery maintenance.'' There is a statement demanding scrutiny. The Oregon State Came commission operates 15 trout hatcheries. Approximately the same number of hatcheries are operated by the Fi.sh commission. The (lame commis sion derives .its, revenue from license fees collected from HUNTERS AND ANGLERS. To say that sports fisher-1 ' v'i-.-i.,rVfl:.'Ti WASTE FfcPEfe THE NO.

As a result we have seen a steady dwindling of ALL species with the re lated necessity of reduction in bag limits on game fish. Experiments by the federal government in Alaskan waters have proven that streams can be kept well stocked providing there is ample escapement of salmon. Hatcheries need be only a supplemental source of supply. But the commercial fishing interests in Oregon are not interested in escapement. They have fought every effort to shorten open seasons. They have spent thousands of dol lars to defeat every conservation measure brought before the legislature. They want only one thing and that is every last fish that can be dragged out of Oregon streams. And now they are, asking the taxpayers to help them drain off the final ves tiges of the rapidly dwindling fishing resource.

This continuing fight between commercial and sports fishing interests involves more than salmon. We are led to believe the problem can be solved by permitting net tors to take the salmon, leaving other game fish to sportsmen. But without salmon runs there will be few of the other species to maintain sports fishing. i Nature has created an interdependence between salmon runs and other species t lish in our rivers. I Ins relation-1 u,r ship is seldom taken into account when considering the Industrial side of the fishing question. Nature provides that salmon shall enter these carcasses are used as food by crawfish and other forms 1 aquatic life which, in turn, become fish food.
