r GAME COMMISSION
ASKS FOR PROBE
Four Members Call for Leg
islative Inquiry.
FIN LEY CASE INVOLVED
Matter "Would Be One for Investi
gation by Joint Committee of
Senate and House.
Investigation, thorough antf com
plete, of the affairs of the state fish
and game commission is to be asked
at the hands of the special session
of the legislature by four of the five
members of the commission. The four
members making this request are I. N.
Fleischner, Marion Jack, Frank M.
Warren and C. P. Stone. The fifth
member of the commission is Gover
nor Olcott.
In the opinion of the four commis
sioners, a legislative Investigation Is
the best method of clearing the at
mosphere and of bringing to light all
angles of the fish and game contro
versy. The legislature has power to
summon witnesses and by use of this
authority can bring to Salem every
one who has anything of importance
to contribute in the nature of facts.
Determination of the commission to
make the request is contained in the
following statement:
The tour undersigned members of the
Oregon fish and game commission an
nounce their purpose to request an inves
tigation of its affairs by the legislature,
through a committee or otherwise. We
have in mind particularly the controversy
growing out of the unanimous action of
the board in creating a vacancy in the
office of state biologist, thus relieving W.
I. Finley of his duties as a public official.
All the vital policies of the board have
been to a greater or less extent involved
In the general discussions of the past year
and it is our desire that, so far as it may
be practicable, they be reviewed by the
legislature.
It is our hope that all the facts regard
ing the differences between Mr. Finley
and the board, and our reasons for drop
ping him from our service, will be fully
reviewed by the legislature. We are con
, fluent that when they are known the board
will be fully vindicated.- We are con-
fident also that the legislature will find
that there Is no substantial basis to the
harges made by certain sportsmen against
the board In the administration of Its
' trust.
r We take the liberty, also, of expressing
; the desire that the legislature may see fit
to invite ari critics of the game commis
sion in the Finley matter or any other
matter to appear to the end that they may
have an opportunity to present their
- charges or offer their criticisms. The
t board lias sought, throughout all the un
. pleasantness, to maintain a dignified at
titude. It has never taken the position
that the public is not entitled to farts
and all of them. Tt has in mind that an
. authoritative investigation will develop the
truth and It has from the first intended
. to Invite it from the legislature. It will
be content with the results.
I. N. FLEISCHNER,
MARION JACK,
FRANK M. WARREN",
C. V. STONE.
An "investigation of the scope sug
gested by the commission will prob
ably be assigned to a committee com
posed of the joint fish and game com
mittees of the senate and house, and
this joint committee can carry on its
hearings during the session, or even
afterward, and make its report to the
governor. The commission will stand
ready to provide all records necessary
and answer any questions which the
probe committee may feel inclined to
ask.
The inquiry will be an opportunity
for the opponents of the commission
to present all the objections they have
against the policies of the commis
sion, or the personnel of that body.
The firet meeting this year of the
Ttepublican Club of Oregon will be
held at the Central library tonight.
State Senator S. B. Huston will speak
on "The Republican Outlook for
1920." A general invitation is ex
tended. f Attached to the Hiram "W. Johnson
machinery in Oregon is Sanfield Mc
Donald. When the special session of
the legislature Is In operation Mr.
McDonald will be on the scene, ready
to look after the Johnson propaganda.
BRVAX, GERARD, REGRETFUL
Latter Promises Jackson Day Mes
sage to Port landers.
William J. Bryan and James W.
Gerard regret that they cannot attend
the Jackson day dinner in Portland.
They have so expressed themselves
in telegrams to Elton "Watkins. Mr.
Bryan Intends saying considerable on
Jackson day, but he has selected as
the scene for his appearance and
words the gathering at Washington,
D. C.
In his message to Mr. Watkins, Mr.
Bryan says: "The democratic party
has a great opportunity, h"t while
opportunities wisely used ar. jtepplng
stones to success, opportunities neg
lected are millstones around the par
ty's neck. The treaty should be rat
ified by compromise, and all demo
cratic issues squarely met. I will
epeak more fully at Washington."
Mr. Gerard intends speaking at
Washington, also, but will send a
message to be read at the Portland
function.

at the offices of the secretary of state
today, according to Sam A. Kozer,
who is in charge of this department
of the state government. Of the total
number of applications, received to
day, fully two-thirds of them came
from Portland.
The unusually heavy demand for
licenses during the past two or three
days is attributed to the reeent order
of Chief of Police Jenkins, in which
he stated that all automobile owners
there who had failed to equip their
cars with the 1920 license plates by
Tuesday would be subject to arrest
and prosecution.
Because of the many applications
now being received at the automobile
department it is not likely that all
the plates will be sent out before late
in the month.

TEACHER SHORTAGE
IS HELD CRITICAL
State Superintendent Warns
Portland Chamber Head.
140 POSITIONS VACANT
Children in Many Districts Have
Xo School This Year Xeed of
Better Pay Imperative.
The condition of the public schools
throughout the state, with reference
to the shortage of teachers, has be
come critical, due to the low salaries
being paid, is the declaration of State
Superintendent Churchill In a tele
gram sent yesterday to H. B. Van
Duzer, president of the Portland
Chamber of Commerce. The telegram
was sent In view of the fact that it
was expected to discuss the teacher
problem at the meeting of the mem
bers' forum of the club yesterday
noon. On account of the visit of Sen
ator Reed, however, the matter was
not taken up and was postponed until
next Monday.
Not only is there a serious shortage
of teachers at this time, according to
State Superintendent Churchill, but a
considerable number of those holding
positions are not qualified by experi
ence or education, it having been nec
essary for the superintendents in fre
quent instances to issue certificates
to those who would have been unable
to get them by examination, in order
to fill vacancies.
State Superintendent Churchill's
telegram follows:
"I am Informed that the Portland
Chamber of Commerce will discuss
at luncheon today serious conditions,
of public schools on acount of short
age of teachers. County superintend
ents are now In session here and from
them I have personally secured actual
conditions in their respective coun
ties, which total for the state as
follows:
"There are 140 teaching positions
in Oregon now vacant. The children
in many of the districts affected
have not been able to attend any
school this year. There are 261
persons teaching in schools of Ore
gon who on account of lack of ex
perience and preparation could not
secure positions in normal times.
Better salaries in all other lines of
work is one cause of this shortage
of teachers. An editorial in The
Morning Oregonian of January 2
shows correctly and conclusively
actual conditions and the remedy.
Unless some remedial state-wide ac
tion is taken schools will suffer
more next year."
"There Is no better way to bring up
a generation of bolsheviks than to
provide underpaid or incompetent
teachers," declared President Van
Duzer yesterday, in commenting upon
the message. "I am heart and soul
for a movement for higher salaries
for our teachers. The teachers of our
schools must be paid a .good living
wage, and we must bring our scale of
pay up to a point where we will be
able to retain our teachers, instead of
having them go to other etates to
teach or flock into other lines of
activity, where there is better com
pensation, as they have been doing by
the score."
The matter will be referred to the
state chamber of commerce for action,
and the members of the Portland
chamber will take up the problem at
the regular weekly session next Mon
day. It is probable some recommenda
tion will be sent to the legislature
after it goes into special session. A
special 2-mill state levy for. school
purposes has been proposed and may
be urged as special legislation at
this time. Under the state law any
money appropriated by the state for
school purposes would have to be
spent mainly upon teachers' salaries,
as there is a provision that at least
85 per cent of such money would have
to be spent for that purpose.
There is likelihood of the teachers
organizing into unions if action is not
taken, in the opinion of George W.
Hug, Superintendent of schools at
McMinnville and chairman of the leg
islative committee for the State Teach
ers' association. Mr. Hug probably
will present the matter before the
Portland Chamber of Commerce at
its meeting next Monday.

to Permit Operation for Time
on 1919 X umbers.
SALEM. Or.. Jan. 5. (Special.)
The fact that many vehicle owners
deferred making application for their

week, has caused a congestion of
business in the motor vehicle depart

counties, the chiefs of police of cities
and towns, and other peace officers
of the state, permit these motor ve
hicle owners who have applied for
licenses to operate their cars on their
1919 licenses for a reasonable time

T
ATTORXEY DIRECTED TO PRE-
PARE AMEXDMEXT.
Increase in Arrests Said to Be
Greater Than Can Be Handled
by One Judge.
Night court to handle the overflow
cases coming before the municipal
court and to relieve the congestion
now existing in this court is held by
Mayor Baker to be essential. Because
the present charter does not permit
the establishment of such a court.
Mayor Baker yesterday instructed
City Attorney LaRoche to prepare a
charter amendment making such a
court legal, the amendment to be pre
sented to the voters at the next elec
tion. According to Mayor Baker, the in
crease in arrests has resulted in work
at the municipal court which one
judge cannot handle properly. In one
day recently. Mayor Baker says, 240
cases were tried. Almost every day
160 or more oases are on the docket.
Members of the city council agreed
with the mayor that a night court
would tend to expedite hearing of
cases and would bring mor"e funds
into the treasury. Captain Lewis, in
charge of the traffic division, said
yesterday his department could bring
more people before the court if facili
ties were arranged for handling cases.
The cases referred to by Captain
Lewis are for minor violations of the
traffic code, which are handled now
by officers of the traffic bureau.

OREGON CITY, Or., Jan. 3. (Spe
cial.) Clackamas county's 1920 bud
get is $647,885, as against $550,402.03
