The farmer has been the the state wildlife picture but, consideration, if present plans materialize. Charles A. Lockwood, state game director, reported to the Roseburg Rod and Gun club that several members of his department have been assigned to hold conferences with farm groups. A mutual discussion of problems is planned. Game department representatives will explain their problems to farmers, who, in turn, will be asked to tell their stories. Then, through a series of conferences, it is hoped to work out a program beneficial to the farmer and to the wildlife resource. If the game department and farmers succeed in work' ing out a mutually satisfactory policy, Oregon's conser vation endeavors will take a the agricultural industry may come. Wildlife and agriculture are In many sections of the heavy losses from elk raids on field crops and haystacks. Throughout the entire state farmers are losing many thou sands of dollars annually from depredations by pheasants. Rapidly increasing beaver population creates a problem for farmers having fruit orchards bordering streams. Deer are a nuisance to gardeners, while competing with live stock for forage. The farmer also is plagued by humans. A very small percentage of anglers and hunters have no respect for prop erty rights. Any farmer can tell stories of deliberate and malicious destruction by persons invading his property for purposes of hunting and fishing. While renegade sportsmen possibly do not represent as much as one percent of the total, their acts force land own ers to erect trespass Bigns against the public in general. Yet-soma farmers find a source of revenue and benefit by. cooperating with true sportsmen. We know of no such case in Douglas county, but a few do exist in other, parts of the state and many in other states. Certain farmers in eastern Oregon, for instance, hav ing good shooting areas for migratory waterfowl on their land, make a profit from renting duck blinds, and thus get a good return for the grain consumed by ducks and geese. Others charge pheasant hunters $1' for every bird killed on their property. These latter farmers encourage bird populations and hunters. They replace fences with hedge rows, multiflora rose being an excellent shrub for that purpose. Acreage not suited for cultivation is planted to feed for birds. Thus, otherwise unproductive land is used to grow bird crops at $1 per head. The farmer has little investment and, while pheasants may harvest some of his grain and other crops, the aid received in insect control brings an equivalent offset. Too, he is practicing good soil conservation with its intangible returns. It will not be easy to work out a cooperative plan be tween farmers and the game department. Undoubtedly, however, some immediate benefits can result from mutual discussion nnd, over a long period of time, some method may be discovered whereby the wildlife crop may be added to the revenue-producing activities of the agricultural in dustry. Human predation will be harder to control. Tersons having no respect for property rights must be identified and, through penalties or otherwise, .taught to conform to rules of decency. Every sports-minded person can assist by furnishing law enforcement officers with information concerning violations of law or code. As Lockwood points out, such informer is not "squealing," but is merely pro tecting his own rights and privileges, for fish and game are the property of the general public nnd the right to hunt and fish is inherent. Any person, therefore, who unnec essarily limits or restricts that .1 kl, . i i v ii r ii i i. . cal behavior is stealing" something from the public and should be punished. The game department has long delayed a project that can become one of the most important and beneficiiil ever undertaken. We hope it re ceives complete cooperation.

Back in the 1920's, when the Republicans were as firmly seated in the saddle of power as the Democrats now are, they too fell into this ancient error of thinking that people can live without work. The stock market was THEIR magic wand. Stocks went up and! PfCE LASTING PROSPERITY up and up. It seemed Impossible BY WAVING A MAGIC WAND, for them to go down. All you wealth Is created by the appli needed to do was to buy stocks cation of human labor to natural and wait for them to double In value. They seemed to do it with out fall. It went on and on and on, with people getting richer and richer and richer. The Republicans, Just as eager to slay In power as the Democrat! now are, claimed the system as their own Just as the Democrats now claim 'the New Deal and the Fair Deal as their own Invention. The Republicans back In the 1920i told ui with a straight face S I if it f t . 1 If You Were Busy If you were busy being kind Before you knew It you would find You'd soon forget to think 'twas true That someone was unkind to you.

If you were busy being good And doing Just the best you could, You'd not have time to blame some man Who's doing just the best he can. If you were busy being true To what you know you ought to do. You'd be so busy you'd forget The blunders of the folks you've met. ' If you were busy being right, You'd find yourself too busy, quite, To criticize your neighbor long Because he's busy doing wrong. that we were living in a NEW ERA. A new era in which prices had to go always up and up and NEVER down. An era that would last as long as the Republicans stayed in power because it was the Republicans who had thought it all up and ONLY THE REPUB LICANS COULD RUN IT AND MAKE IT WORK. YOU know what happened. The time came (in late 1929) when prices DID go down. Boy! HOW they went down! IN the 1920s, It was the Repub licans who were telling us to leave It all to Papa. Papa, they assured us, had invented this won derful new era in which we were then living, this time when stocks went always up and never down, this time when all you had to do to be rich and happy was to buy low and sell high and keep on voting the Republican ticket. THIS Is the point 1 'want to make: NEITHER REPUBLICANS OR DEMOCRATS CAN PRO- resources. Prosperity arises ONLY out of working, producing, saving up ! J the capital with which to finance expansion and growth and selling at fair prices that enable people to exchange their goods and serv ices among each other on a fair and equal basis so that what Is produced can be consumed as rapidly as It Is produced. Political leadership that fosters that kind of system can produce lasting prosperity for the people, j Early Pioneer Hardships Told By Glenn Riddle Trials and hardships of early pioneers and development of the Oregon country were related by Glenn N. Riddle of Riddle, speak ing before the Roseburg Lions club members and their wives Thursday night in the Hotel Ump qua. Riddle traced the early discov eries of Oregon and the progress of settlement. His own family came to Oregon in 1851, and the first settlement of any kind that they found from the time they left Missouri was at Canyonville. He recounted the difficulties experienced by the overland wag on trains, which were stopped m the Columbia gorge at The Dalles, and were forced south 10 find easier crossing of the Cas cades. For those who crossed into southern Oregon and headed north, Canyon mountain proved the bottleneck, as It is today, to their travel, he said. He told the story of Tabitha Brown, the first woman to travel through Douglas county, finally to reacli Salem, and later founded what Is now Pacific university at Forrest Grove. There are variations In the meaning of the term Umpqun, according to Riddle. He said there was the Indian term Unca, meaning "come and get them," and Umpqua, meaning "I am satisfied." But he was unprepar ed to give the significance. The Oregon country Is the only part of the United States that had only one flag, the American flag. He referred to Indian difficul ties, but stated his folks never had any trouble with them. He told incidents, whereby the In dians were actually driven to hos tilities by harsh treatment fn .ii some of the early settlers. The Indians cannot be wholly blam ed, he said, because they were being driven from their lands. Umpqua county, organized in 1851, included the area from the Calapooia mountains to the Ump qua river and west to the Paci fic. Douglas county was organ ized in 1852, with the county seat at Winchester. The county; seat was later moved to Roseburg, and the two counties were merged. Political leadership that promises SOMETHING FOR NOTHING can produce in the long run only want and grief and disillusion ment. ; " ' General A. A.
