' I . t JOST of us find these events ri Interesting even slgniti- cant. But don't mention them In " Washington and expect to get a J rise out of anybody. BIG news is In the wind there. In a special election to fill a vacancy In one of New York Z City's congressional districts, the candidate of the American Labor I'party, running WITH HENRY WALLACE'S BACKING AND Z BLESSING, wins by a landslide. J There's news and news, but that's HOT NEWS In Washing- ton, D. C. What It means Is that President Truman and the Detfio. i-cratlc party are taking a Hew Tlook at their hole card. MAYBE you don't keep up on New York City's admittedly ! screwball politics. In that event, this will give you a hint: ' The Dally Worker, the official communist newspaper, hails the victory under huije headlines on '. the front page. "It's a landslide," J It comments gleefully. PM, the Whatls-It of American ', Journalism and the darling of the pinks, says, somewhat more ponderously, of the American La J bor party sweep: "It Is not only a tremendous J boost for the Wallace movement but constitutes a grave threat to I Democratic hnx-s of carrying pi- votal New York In next fall's ; lresidiiitial election." nN 1941, FDR carried New York state over Dewey by ' only 300,000 votes with nearly J 500,000 American Ijihor party mcmlwrs voting for him.

STANTON Al Cribble is secretary of the Oregon Division, Izaak Walton League of America. .When Al was a boy, he told us recently while speaking at a meeting of the Oregon Wildlife Federation, his first job was with a grocery store at Canby. Early each morning he would go to the store where he would find large piles of freshly killed native pheasants, grouse, and quail. His job was to string these birds, 12 to each firing1, then load them on a wagon and drive to the depot, where the birds were taken by train to Portland. Frequently he would make two trips to transport the day's kill to the station. In the Portland market the strings of birds would be hung in festoons and sold at 35 cents each for pheasants and grouse and 10 cents each for quail. A full string of pheasants and grouse went for $2 while quail brought $1 per string. Deer carcasses also were available on the market, $10 for a large deer, $5 for a small deer, or venison could be bought in any quantities It was less than 60 years first job. Today he is one of Oregon's earnest conservation ists endeavoring to salvage something for the future from the state's rapidly disappearing wildlife, which to his knowl edge was so abundant only a We could not help but abundance of wild game with earlier by a representative of the commercial fishery of the state. To our theory that commercial fishing for salmon should be eliminated from coastal streams, he protested on the grounds that "housewives would be deprived of one of the finest foods obtainable." We can agree that a salmon freshly caught and canned provides a most tasty and delicious meal, but so do pheasants, grouse, quail and deer. liut would anyone advocate today that deer and wild fowl again be hunted and sold commer cially? If it became necessary to halt commercial hunting an sale of wildfowl and deer because their populations had been so drastically reduced, Is it not logical that similar action must be taken with regard to salmon and other game fish when they, too, become depleted ? The commercial fisherman contends that if salmon popu lations become low then ALL fishing, both sports and com mercial, should be stopped. The same argument was ad vanced only a few years ago by the state's deer putters, who cried to high heaven against being denied the right to kill deer, skin out the pelts for gloves and garments, and sell the hides, while leaving the meat to be wasted. There is no limit, except destruction through exhaustion of the resource, to commercialism. Commercial hunting brought the carrier pigeon to extinction. Not a single bird of that species exists in the world today, so far as id known, although their flights once darkened the sun. Our buffalo herds were reduced from a population of 60,000,000, as their numbers were estimated on the Great Plains when the white hunters started their destruction, to a total of approximately 5,000 today, virtually all in captive herds. As long as a dollar is at stake, commercialism will fight restrictions, while it continues to waste and destroy. The Oregon Fish Commission gives evidence today that it is directing its efforts into channels of conservation, but it is our contention that our coastal streams will not support both sports and commercial fishing. In fact, the Rogue River, an exclusive sports stream, continues to decline annually be cause of excessive pressure from sports fishing, coupled, of course, with effects of pollution, irrigation, watershed dam age and encroachment of civilization. We do not discount the fact that other elements than commercial fishing enter Into the fisheries depletion, just as civilization brought about reduction in numbers of deer and game birds through agri cultural use of land, destruction of cover and feed, over grazing, etc. I'.ut the time has come, in our opinion, when we must start thinking of our game fish as we do of our game animals and birds, removing them from commercialism and giving them protection from excessive sports fishing. If we start soon enough, and couple our conservation with a constructive program of watershed restoration, removal of ixrlhition and elimination of other destructive factors, we may even yet be able to rebuild recreational values in our coastal streams, even though we can never expect return of the (lavs described by Al Cribble.

An thony was arrested when she cast a vote in the presidential elec tion of 1K72, as she asserted the 14th amendment to the Constitu tion entitled her to do so. Mrs. Anlhony was founder and later president of the National Women's Suffrage Association. The association sponsored the first women's rights conference in Seneca Falls, N. Y., in 1W8. An evaluation of the progress women have made sinse the "Declaration of Sentiments" was drawn up at the Seneca Falls con ference will be made this month at a conference called here by ine u. women s nureau. No Backward Steps Miss Frieda Miller, director of the Women's Bureau says the conference will not yeild a 1948 declaration of women's rights. She says women have "gone too far and achieved too much to make action of that kind either necessary or approplate." ' Miss Miller says that in the past century women have gained the full legal right to 1. Enter professions and prac tically all occupations and trades. 2. Vote and help make laws on local, state and national levels. 3. Serve on Juries in all but 13 states. 4. Enjoy full rights of property and earnings in most states. 5. Have the same righta ol guardianship as men In most cases. 6. Keep their personal ldenty In most respects. 7. Kecleve the same treatment as men under tax laws. "In 1848," Miss Miller sayi, "a woman s property was taxed without representation, marriage meant civil deatn lor her in many respects, and the doors to profit able employment generally were closed tightly against her." Women workers tooay, she adds, form 28 per cent of all workers and more than 30 per cent of all women 14 years of age. and over In the nation's popula tion. What Statistics Show The Women s Bureau reports that of the total labor force of 57,590,000 in December 1947 wo men numbered 16,698,000. Of this number 16,294,000 had Jobs, i Labor force means people work ing or seeking work.) Census estimates of women In the labor force as of April 1947 show that 46.2 per cent were married, 37.9 per cent, single and 15.9 per cent widowed or divor ced. "Married women constitute a growing porportion of workers, reflecting changes In social alti tudes and increasing need lor money income in a highly indus trialized economy," the Bureau says. Despite the progress made, many objectives still are to be at tained, Miss Miller says. These include a wider application of the principle of equal pay, better working conditions and rates of pay in the large woman-employing Industries. They also include a fuller recognition that women "aspire to serve In policy-making posi tions when qualified." Events Scheduled By Legion Post Past Commanders' night of I'mpqua Post, No. 16, American Ij-gion, has been set for Tuesday, March 2, it was announced by Eugene A. Springer, chairman, who also announced tw-o other programs for the coming month: The Legion's "Birthday Party" is scheduled for Tuesday, March 16, with Lcgionaire "Dutch" Mills as chairman. Formal Induction and initiation of new members into Umpqua Ist is scheduled Tuesday, April 6. The program wil be in charge of the 40 et 8. All veterans who never have been formally obli gated as members of the post are "urged" to be present, said Springer.
