FIGURES ARE PRODUCED Jackson Senator to Sponsor Pro posed Bill to Withdraw State Aid From Business. No money procured from angling and hunting licenses In Oregon is expended by the state on behalf of commercial fishing Industry. At tention to this fact was called yester day at the office of the fish and game commission. There seems to be a more or less general opinion that license receipts are being used to assist the commercial fishing and the state ment was made to correct this Im pression. Attention to state aid to the com mercial fisheries has been' called by an announcement from southern Ore gon that a bill Is in preparation there to withdraw all such assistance and abolish the commission. Authoritative figures were pro cured yesterday from the commission showing that all receipts from sports men's licenses are devoted solely in the interests of game fish and game birds, while the only money spent in furthering the commercial fishing in dustry is that received from commer cial fishermen and packers in the way of state licenses, together with the biennial appropriations made by the state legislature for the operation and maintenance of the several fish hatcheries throughout the state. 944,000 la Appropriated. The legislature last winter appro priated a total of $44,000 for the work of the state hatcheries during the two-year period. Of this amount $34,000 was for the hatcheries in dis trict No. 1. and $20,000 for the hatch eries In district No. 2. In addition to the propagation of young salmon for the commercial fishing industries, these hatcheries likewise propagate trout and other game fish for the portsmen of Oregon. An example of the relative amounts spent at these hatcheries for game fish and commercial fish is shown in the financial report from the Bonne ville hatchery for 1919. From the frame protection fund, derived from anglers' licenses, $5965.34 was spent at the Bonneville hatchery, while from the hatchery fund, consisting of money-paid to the state for commer cial fishing licenses, $6465.92 was ex. pended at this hatchery. From the state appropriation for the general operation of hatcheries, the Bonne ville plant spent (11.223.S1. Sportsmen's Fund Gives 9180. The report further shows that only $180 was used from the sportsmen's fund for construction and equipment at the Bonneville hatchery, while the commercial fishing fund was deplet ed $3500 for construction and equip ment, which Is utilized for both com mercial and game fish. If there should be no artificial propagation of young salmon, author ities say. the commercial fishing In dustry, which now involves more than $12,000,000 annually, would be wiped out entirely within ten years and would mean the total destruction of a business which, furnishes a direct livelihood to mora tha i 10,000 persons in Oregon. Salmon records made available yes terday show that 600,000 cases of sal mon were taken from the Columbia river last year, including the fresh salmon sold on the general daily mar ket. The pack on other rivers about the state amounted to 92,000 cases. Besides the Columbia rfver, the Rogue, Umpque, Coos, Bluslaw and Alsea riv ers and Tillamook bay are utilized by salmon packers and commercial fish ermen. Thomas to Sponsor BUI. State Senator Thomas of Jackson county, it is understood, will be the principal legislative sponsor for the proposed bill to withdraw all state aid from the commercial fishing in dustry, and a Portland lawyer has been retained to draw up the meas ure for its presentation at Salem week after next. This bill would compel extensive fees from the commercial interests for the propagation of food fish, and would likewise abolish the present fish and game commission in Ita entirety. I. W. W.
