JACKSON SCHEME IS REPUDIATED
In Home of Journal, Chamber of Com
merce Rejects His Measures
Sam Jackson, self-appointed guard
ian of the public weal, has decreed
through the columns of the Portland
Journal, that the delinquent tax publi
cation law and the statute defining
legal rates, shall be cast In the discard
at the coming election. This la in
effect the mandate published each day
in the Journal, and in place ot the
present statutes, Mr. Jackson will
"substitute" a couple of pet measures
of his own.
The cltlxens ot Oregon, as a conse
quence, are debating on whether they
should follow Mr. Jackson's Injunc
tion, or whether it would be safe to
figure out their voting privilege in ac
cordance with mandates ot their own
consciences. If they are at all hes
itant to comply with the Jackson edict,
it is probably because they realise Mr.
Jackson is an old hand at telling folks
how to cast their ballots and that his
desires in the matter do not always co
incide with the riews of the citixens.
This was notably the case few years
ago when Mr. Jackson attempted to
foist off single tax on Oregon.
The two measures in question are
now being considered by the voters ot
the state, and it seems to be the well
denned concensus ot opinion in every
section, that the present laws are
equitable. It is further conceded that
the delinquent tax law is more than a
mere administrative Jaw in that it
specifically renders a public service
which cannot be overlooked by any
fair minded citlxen and the taxpayer
in particular.
TREATMENT ALLEGED
Irl DIVORCE SUIT
Four actions for divorce and not a
single solitary marriage license as an
offset was the record in the county
clerk's office Saturday. Dolly Austin,
who was married to Harry Austin In
Vancouver. Wash, July 6 last, alleg
ing cruel and inhuman treatment
When they were married she says he
was a foreman for the Pare lias Manu
facturing Co., at a salary ot $42 week,
yet he failed to support her and even
borrowed $300 from which he "blew"
in, and stayed out almost every night
until midnight On September 6 Mrs.
Austin says her husband came home
late and pointed a gun at her and told
her he was going "to shoot her dead,"
and she left the house, returning the
next day to find he had left. She de
sires to resume her maiden name of
Dolly Radley.
Desertion is charged in three other
divorce suits. Willis G. Young says
that Mary P. Young left him March 11,
1917. They were married at Long
mont, Colo., March 3, 1898. Anna
Crawford was married to Noah Mack
Crawford in Indiana, May 11 1896, and
she says he left her May 7, 1917. She
wants $25 monthly as alimony. Arthur
Pepper was married to Maud Pepper
October 25, 1908, at Portland, and says
she deserted him August 15 last.
PRESIENT HONORED
LISBON. Portugal, Oct 30. In rec
ognition of his services to the allied
cause and as a mark of respect and

highways after President Wilson. The
street, a wide and residential avenue,
has been called "Avenida Das Cortea."
but now will be known as "Avenida
Presidente Wilson."

The present tax publication law pro
vides that mall notice be sent out to
the taxpayer. This tact you do not
see mentioned in the columns ot the
Journal Then, after failure ot mail
notice, the tax lists are to be pub
lished. Thus is the delinquent taxpay
er protected as tar as possible.
Jackson's law would abolish the
publication altogether, and leave the
delinquent at the mercies ot the tax
title grabber. Such Is the practical
working ot the Jackson amendment
His other bill Is to cut down the pres
ent legal rate of five cents per line-
now in force In practically every state
in the union.
Unfortunately tor Mr. Jackson the
voters ot the state are able to reason
things out for themselves. They love
suggestions but not mandates as to
how they are to cast their ballots.
For weeks Jackson's Journal has
been giving orders to the Oregon elec
torate on the Jackson pet measures.
Strange to relate, however, the Port
land Chamber of Commerce, at Its
weekly luncheon this week, unanimous
ly turned down both of the schemes.
They evidently figured that there was
no justifiable reason at this time tor
punishing either the taxpayers or the
press, so they went on record as un
qualifiedly rejecting the Jackson bills.
It must have been a sorry day tor
Mr. Jackson and his Portland Journal,
when the "home town" folks turned
against him. Incidently no mention ot
the action was made In the Journal.

FISHERMEN DON'T STOP
Refuting statement ot W. U Fin
ley, Stat a Biologist, In the public
press, Andrew Naterlln, secretary of
the Clackamas County Fishermen's
Union, Tuesday said:
In these article Mr. Finley urge
the people to close the Wlllamotte
river because the state needed the
future supply ot Chinook salmon to
stock up the Columbia river, stating
that while the stale should have be
tween 40 and 60 million eggs from the
Willamette that in 191? it only got six
million.
' I would like to ask Mr. Finley why
the fish in the Columbia and Willam
ette rivers have been increasing in
the past 10 vars? Where did the eggs
come from? Wh,y was It that In 1918
(and mind you the river was not
closed to commercial fishing in 1914
when the fish spawned the eggs
which produced the 1918 run passed)
the Willamette witnessed the great
est run of Chinook salmon ever
known?
We have Mr. Frank M. Warren to
back us up on this statement because
he himself made the remark to a num
ber of fishermen that the Willam
ette never had a bigger run than in
1913. This statement was made in the
presence ot fishermen and state of
ficials just after a trip to the fish
ladder t Oregon City.
Mr. Finley made the absurd state
ment that if the commercial fishermen
were allowed to fish that they would
catch all the salmon and in a few
years that salmon would be a thing
ot the past. Now any person who will
think a little, or even without think
ing, can gee that this cannot be true.
Why? Because for over a score of
year the commercial fishermen have
been fishing in the Willamette river
and still the fish are coming and in
creasing every year.
Mr. Finley says that fish can be
caught below Oswego and In the
sloughs between Portmnd and the
mouth ot the river. That is true, they
could be caught but where are the
fish when the season opens? They
are practically all above Oswego,
many going over the ladder at Oregon
City before the first ot May. Fishing
below Oswego would be like going
.. , " r J . """"'.There
iier it Das neen narvestea and
stored away. You might pick up
enough to make a loaf ot bread.
Mr. Finley wants all to stock up the
Columbia river for the rich fish wheel
concerns.
Seeing Mr. Finley takes such an In
terest to protect the salmon, why
doesn't he take action to put the fish
wheels out of the Colmbia and let!
that river spawn its own salmon in
stead of robbing the Willamette?
Because the rich fellows, under
whose control Mr. Finley and Mr.
Clanton both work, own the fish
wheels.
A commercial fisherman works all !
night long, wet and1 cold for a scanty
wage while thescrich fishwheel own
ers come nown to their fish wheels
all dressed up In their best and a
eood cigar steaming to ask: 'How
many tons did my wheel get today?'
uanton teeis tne same way as we
do about it, only that to hold their
present jobs they must be tools of the
'silk socked' Portland Rod and Gun
Club and the Columbia river fish
wheel owners and do as they tell
them or take chances of losing tnelr
jobs.
Now it is up to you voters to open
your eyes, protect yourselves from
these rich 'monarchs.' Ask yourself a
few questions:
It protection of salmon is really
needed.
Why don't they stop hook and line
fishing?
Where will Portland get its fresh
salmon when the Columbia river sal
mon is controlled by the trust?
It the run of salmon has been
steadily increasing why do they want
to change the laws?
Why do they want to prohibit the
sale of salmon caught by hook and
line?
Take care voters and study this
carefully.
It Is the Portland Rod and Gun
Cub and fishwheel owners (who want
everything for themselves) that are
urging you to close the Willamette
river to commercial fining. They, and
not the state authorities, have been
the ones who have closed the river
through the legislature.
When the anglers only fished at the
foot of the falls In order to "protect
salmon," they closed to commercial
fishermen the river 600 feet below
the ladder. When anglers began to
fish the falls and the rapids "protec
tion of fish" was needed there and
as a result the river was closed to the
suspension bridge. Then the anglers
began to catcch salmon alqng Jen
nings Lodge and as a result ("to pro
tect salmon") they hired a special
train to take about 100 of them to
Salem at the time the legislature was
in session to see that the Willamette
was closed for "protection of fish.",
So it is hard to see where and when
the state authorities wanted the river
closed when it was the Portland Rod
and Gun Club.
And further proof to show that the
Portland Rod and Gun Club want the
Willamette as a play ground is shown
by the fact that this measure which
they are in favor of, limits the catch
of salmon to one a day and not allow
ed to sell that. This shows plainly
that the closing of the river is want
ed by the rich Portland Anglers for a
plya ground rather than for the pro
tection of salmon.
Mr. Finley states that only four
teen salmon were counted. He also
states that practically all the fish that
reached the falls went over. He said
"practically," therefore some must
have failed to go over.
Now what wo want Mr. Finley to an
swer la: What became of those fish
that went into the electric plant mill
race and were seen rushing, jumping
and skimming through the water on
and afte,r May S7, 1918, when there
wasn't enough water In the ladder
for them?
What became of those fish that got
Into that hole on the northeast ex
tenuity ot the falls right south ot Haw
ley'a Mill "A,1 Here the fish were
een dashing themselves against the
rocks after there was practically no
water in the ladder. One thing sure,
la that they never reached the ladder.
They just killed themselves and many
died from the acids which come In
the water from the mill.
Mr. Finley, do you remember a few
year back when the hatchery men
experimented in the McKeniie river?
Remember when they threw In 200
dead salmon and after 48 hour clear
ed the rack (just one-half mile below
from where the fish were thrown in)
and found but one salmon?
That proved that over 99 per cent
ot the salmon that die sink and do not
float
So It can be plainly teen that gill
nets do. not and will not destroy sal
mon. Vote 307X No,
