WEST GIVES JOBS - TO HEN FORGED OUT eds! Mattresses! Springs and Ra: liter Rugs E Ex-Fish and Game Officials Slide, Back, Now Machine Has Been Built Up. ALL WORK FOR DR. SMITH Ieputics In Every County Said to Have Been Told Places Are Sure If Democrat Wins at Coining: Election. Now that Governor West has suc ceeded in building up a division of the Democratic machine by placing a force of his supporters in the various offices connected with the. iState . Fish . and Game Commission he has started to reappoint those members .of .the com mission who were forced to resign early in the year with the understanding that they would be reinstated as soon as the work of reorganization was completed. His latest move in this direction was the reappointment of C. F. Stone, of Klamath Falls, to a place on the com mission to succeed Harold Clifford, who resigned last week, and who now has a fat berth in the State Insurance Ue- partment at Salem. HuseheH Said to Mt Slated. Frank Hushes, of Salem, now is the only one of the group of three Commis sioners forced from the board lasi Spring, who has not succeeded in re gaining his place on the board, but it is predicted that Floyd Bilyeu. of Port land, soon is to resign and that HugheJ is to get his place. Since the recent shakeup in the com mission the force of deputies and minor officials and clerks throughout the state has been thoroughly revised. While many of the old employes have been retained, they were first care fully felt out to see if they would stand in on the West scheme to use the de partment for political ends. The new appointees were picked by the Gov ernor and. his friends for the purpose of having them aid in the present cam paign to elect Dr. C. . J. Smith, the Democratic candidate for Governor. The ramilieations of the Fish and Gamo Commission extend to all parts of the state. There is not a county In Oregon in which its influence is not felt in one way or another. In almost every county the deputy game wardens and other employes of the commission are understood to be working quietly for Dr. . Smith. Al though the party leaders have realized for some time that Smith' candidacy Is hopeless this activity still .continues. In some places this support of Gov ernor West's candidate is done 4n the open and with the frank admission that the job of the deputy depends upon Dr. Smith's election The Oregoolia's l'redlctlonn Proved. All this is the fruit of the sudden and somewhat spectacular resignations of three members of the commission last Spring. At that time The Oregonian pointed out that these resignations were arranged by the Governor for po. litlcal ei'iect and that the Governor in tended to use the office of the com mission to. bolster up his political ma chine. These statements of The Ore gonian were soon verified by develop ments in the department. One by one the predictions made at that time have been realized. In the first place, the shakeup was brought about through discord among members of the commission. It seems that at least three of the Commission ers Frank Hughes, C. F. Stone and B. K. Duncan could not get along with M. J. Kinney, the fourth member. George Kelly, of Portland, the fifth member of the commission, apparently took no part in the quarrel. All four of the other Commissioners had been appointed by West and these four to gether named Kelly as the fifth mem .ber. Trouble began to brew soon after the commission took office. Kinney's pet hobby la the salmon industry. He can quote salmon statistics by the yard. He is determined to develop the salmon business in Oregon and apparently gave too much attention to that line of work and not enough to game Ashing and other game to suit other members of the commission. Four Juba Crow From Two. To fill the place on the commission vacated by Kvans, B. E. Duncan, of Hood River, one of the members who had resigned, was reappointed. R. E. Clanton, who had been Fish Commissioner under the old" organi zation, was placed in charge of the lish hatcheries, and Theodore Ospund, the clerk and stenographer in Clan ton's office, was made Fish Commis sioner. Alhouch these changes were made, as West explained, to save money for the state, the fact remains that four jobs have been created where only two existed before. Meanwhile the deputy fish and game wardens all over the state, some of whom are on salary and some of whom - are not, have been juggled about In a delirium of activity to gain efficiency in the department. Some of them even now don't know how long their jobs will last, but they all understand what Is wanted of them. lvlnury Balk .Governor. Some of the others complained to the Governor, but he insisted that Kin ney was all right and that he would not remove him. in tne course or events Governor West and Kinney had a Quarrel about something. "The Gov ernor sought Kinney's resignation. But Kinney would not resign. West tried to force him to resign. Kinney re sisted In the courts and was sustained. Then Hughes. Stone and Duncan re signed. To take their plac.es Governor West appointed H. H. Clifford, of Baker: Floyd Bilyeu. of Portland, and C. H. Evans, of Lostine. Immediately the entire department was re-organized. Evans himself was made game warden, replacing W. L. Finley. who had held that position for several years and who has a National reputation as an authority on game. birds and wild animals. He was uni versally regarded as a man eminently and peculiarly talented for the place. " But FinJey was given a comparative ly ooscuro position at the head of the ''educational and biological depart ment, at a reduced salary. His office was retained in Portland, but that of chief game warden was removed to Salem on the pretext of "economy." IRVINGTOTO LOT. Fine east front Irvington lot.
