loi't of practically every sportsman in this district and
a host of other people who are interested in the protection
of the salmon fishing of the Columbia and its tributaries.
Fish wheels are allowed on the Columbia and nowhere else
in the world above tide water. The Fish Commission con
tends that they prevent great quantities of salmon getting up
the river to the natural spawning grounds, that if they are
eliminated and the seines and traps are curtailed, the supply
of salmon will be adequate after the four-year cycle and there
will be more fish for everybody concerned. The salmon pack
is now diminishing each year. The fish caught by wheels
each year means the destruction of over 300 million eggs.
The Fish Wheel bill is designed to prevent that destruction
and insure more fish for future years. It will not prevent
other moans of fishing. It will not destroy the salmon in
dustry less than thirty men being now employed by all the
wheel owners in the slate. The bill is No. 332. It deserves
the support of Eastern Oregon people.
, SPENDING GOVERNMENT FUNDS.
Impressive analogy is supplied by affairs in Washington
state in comparison with what might happen if Dan Kellaher
and his teammates ride into power on the Housewives'
I'ouncil plan. i
We know that 110 limitations are placed on expenditures
by the constitutional amendment under which five self-appointed
czars are to rule in this state, if the voters are foolish
enough to give them the chance. 1
Washington has a new state rapitol. For the furnishings
of the governor's quarters, we are told, $00,000 was a
propriuted by the legislature. Governor Hartley, investigat-'
ing this subject, has stated that he will not permit such
wasteful extravagance. Hat racks at $1 17, waste baskets at
$!!('), cuspidors at $ 17.75 these are a few of the items. Un
fortunately, Governor Hartley claims that other Washington
activities are similarly wasteful under state management.
Oregon's aspiring candidates for monopolistic control of
all water powers, merely ask $250,000 as the first expense
item. Later they will not have to ask. They can tako as,
and all, they please. Under the banner of "development,"
this group is seeking to acquire unlimited powers without re-'
sponsihility to any stale executive or other authority. I
As election day comes nearer, attention of householders,
wage-earners and people in all walks of life is being directed
to this veiled movement, which they would have voters be
lieve originated with women in the homes of Oregon. It
did not so originate. It is political in its origin, based on
animosity toward and intolerance of established utilities under
private control.
Federal and state regulation pievents acquirement of any
continuing private ownership of water powers in this state.'
Already a large percentage, probably over 70 per cent, of
the water resources of Oregon, are under federal control
and supervision, or in parks and forest reservations admin
istered by the government. To set up the sHclous plea that
these resources are in danger is a false position on the part
of those who seek personal advantage. i
