FISM AND TAX DOLLARS
, , Bv Chat-lei V. 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.

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

There was relatively little re

came after we had moved inland

v htl Is highly probable. that this

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

amount of fish food in our streams and, consequently, there
is not enough to support abundant fish life. 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.
The commercial fishing industry has been uracticine

.'attack on Manila,
A frontal assaull on that city,
through the narrow rhouth of
JfS bay, which Is commanded by
the fortress of Corrcgidor, would
bo . suicidal a fact that was
clearly recognised and admitted
by tho Japs when they attacked
us there.
There arc two back-dour en
trancesone fj'om the north, by
way of Llngayen gulf, and Ihe
oilier frbm the south, by way of
the port of fialangas. The route
from the south has to get past
two largo lakes, which narrow
the passage Considerably. A nar
row passage, with Its flanks
guarded, lends itself admirably
to the Jap system of suicide de
fense. Besides, there Is less room
for tank muneuverliifi to the
soulh.
The Japs may have been
thrown off by the fact that we
were already established on Mln
doroi, Willi only a few miles of
water to cross to get to the soulh
rrh bnd of Luzon, hs against Ihe
Inng and dangerous sea toad by
which our immense convoys must
reach .Llngayen gulf, but it is
still beyond belief that (hey

Well be wise If we assume
that they have a lot of strength

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
