PRESENT SYSTEM WRONG QUANDARY IS FORECAST Executive Announces He Will Put Question Up to Special Session for Lawmakers ' Action. Dutch Official Declares Nation Would Be Placed In Difficult and Unfair Position. THE SUNDAY OltEGOXIAX, PORTLAND, GAME C0MEV1ISS IS DElii FOR KAISER rtfj ?s '-ss- EX-SERVICE MEN IGNORED . POSTMASTER EMPLOYS WOM AN AS SUBSTITUTE CLERK. '! ' i ' T SALEM. Or.. Dec." 20. (Special.) "It is my intention- to . recommend to the legislature at the special session January 12 that an entirely new deal of the cards be -made for the handling of fish and game affairs, both from the angle of the sportsmen and the commercial fishermen," Governor Olcott declared today. "I am convinced that factional dif ferences and strife as to fish and game affairs will continue to the (rave detriment of the wild life of the state unless a radical change is made. The sooner this change is effected the better. Fish and game constitute one of our great est assets and consequently I consider the situation sufficiently important to make my proposed recommenda tions at the special session rather than delay them another year. Two Commlniou Favored. "Briefly my recommendations will be as follows: "Separate and divorce completely commercial fishing and the sports men's Interests by the creation of two district commissions. "Create a commission of three mem bers to handle commercial fishing af fairs exclusively, with no power to in any manner interfere with the s In terests of the sportsmen. "Create a commission of five mem bers to have sole jurisdiction over hunting and angling from the sports men's standpoint. "Funds derived from hunting and angling licenses should be expended solely under the control of the com mission created to protect the sports men's interests and the commission governing commercial interests would have sole control of the expenditures of the funds raised for the benefit of commercial fishing. "The governor would be a member of neither commission. The manner of selection of the membership of each of these commissions is a matter I desire to leave entirely in the hands of the legislature to determine. Change Called Necessary. "My decision to make these recom mendations has been reached only after due deliberation and after giving serious thought to the various phases involved. I had hoped ' to reserve my findings until a final report was received from the expert who has been designated to examine Into the affairs of the present com mission. But I am sufficiently satis fied that, whatever his report may be, the highest degree of harmony and effectiveness cannot be attained under present conditions. "As it now stands the governor is chairman of the commission. This is wrong in theory and in practice. The offices of the commission are located in Portland. The executive, has little knowledge of the commission's trans actions except that gained through correspondence and an occasional visit at the regular monthly meet ings. System Not Right. "I am not endeavoring to evadft the responsibilities that go with my office. But when I have become con vinced through actual experience that any administrative system of the state government is based upon wrong principles I would be derelict in my duty if I failed in hastening to correct the evil. "With the chairmanship of the com mission lodged in the chief executive a general feeling has grown up that the chairman of the commission is responsible for all of Its acts. This even goes to the extent that many people feel the commission should be subservient to every wish of the executive. They further feel that unless there is sucb subservience the executive should straightway ex ercise his power by dislodging the commissioners and selecting a new group entirely. This condition In it self is wrong, breeding discontent and distrust in the minds of large numbers of persons who otherwise in herently are actuated by a true and sincere wish for better game protec tion and propagation."

Lung inclined to be lieve the allies would not make a serious demand for the extradition of ex-Emperor" William, the Dutch government now expects such a de mand will be made, the. Associated Press was officially Informed today. "We suppose the demand will come before long and that several powers probably will address a joint letter to Holland, setting forth the case," the official said. "Our feeling is that the very men who sign the demand probably will be hoping all the time that we will refuse. This demand will put a small nation in a diffi cult position, which seems to us not at all just." So far as the Associated Press is able to learn, Holland will probably stick to her original intention to refuse a demand for extradition of the ex-emperor. There Is a growing feeling in some Dutch circles that the ex-monarch himself could end the difficulty in which he placed Holland, if he chose to show himself grateful for a year's sanctuary. "He could end the whole difficulty so far as Holland is concerned," the official said, "by voluntarily return ing to Germany. German press dis patches indicate the German inquiry commission would like to interrogate him. However, from what we can learn, the ex-kaiser is not likely to do anything like that. He Is not afraid to return, but his mind does not work that way. It is against his ideas to appear before any in quiry commission, as he still pro fesses to consider himself responsi ble for nothing wrong." GENEVA, Dec. 20. A dispatch from Basle states the German ex-emperor has finally agreed to accept trial by the allies, but adds, that he wants to choose the place and time of the trial and desires to be defended by German experts and lawyers. The Basle advices said the ex-crown prince declares he will newer appear if he is called before a court of justice. E PLAN' TO MAKE $4 MINIMUM DECLARED VICIOUS. Ballot Title for Amendment Restor ing Capital Punishment In Oregon Also Completed. SALEM. Or.. Dec 20. (Special.) Ballot titles for the proposed con stitutional amendments making it unlawful for any person, firm or cor poration hiring another to pay : wage of less than $4 a day of eight hours for any man. employe or a wage of less than $20 a week of 48 hours for any woman employe, and restoring the death penalty in Oregon, were completed by Attorney-General Brown today. The proposed amendment was pre pared by J. E. Medley. 394 East Eighty-eighth street, Portland, and, according to local attorneys, is one of the most vicious pieces of legisla tion ever attempted in Oregon. It is pointed out by these lawyers that regardless of financial conditions. Oregon operators, under the amend ment. would be compelled to pay their workers the minimum wage provided, while in other states employers could adjust their scale of compensation to come within their revenues. As a result of such a possible con dition Oregon industries would be seriously handicapped, and in many instances would be forced to suspend operations, according to persons who have considered the proposed amend ment. The ballot for the capital punish ment amendment reads: "Purpose, to restore capital punishment by pro viding by constitutional amendment that the penalty for morder in the first degree shall be death, except when the trial jury shall, by its ver dict, recommend life imprisonment, which repeals all provisions of the constitution in conflict with the same." This proposed amendment was pre pared at the instigation of George L. ijaKer, mayor or Portland. TRACT ON UW1PQUA IS SOLD Property Near Roseburg to Be Opened for Colonizing. ROSEBURG. Or., Dec. 20.

PORTLAND OREGON A Cremona Is a Perfect Christmas Gift No other gift would give that perfection of enjoyment that a CFwEMONA, playing a good voles record, will give to any music lover. j It is the marvelous CREMONA tone. The tone of the CREMONA phonograph is wonderfully clear and mellow, with a "human' quality. This rare harmony is the result of the proper application of a scientific principle in designing; the Sound Chamber. , The Suspended All 'Spruce Sound Chamber The sound chamber of CREMONA is made entirely of heavy, long-fiber spruce and is connected directly with the mechanism that reproduces all sound, through the tone arm. The open end is firmly fastened to the cabinet an arrangement that gives CREMONA a suspended sound board like that in a piano. Hundreds have heard Cremona this month. Hundreds .h ave bought Cremona phonographs. Prices range from $90 to $285, and terms are arranged to suit purchaser. There are only three days before Christmas in which you may decide on the model you prefer. Do not buy until you have heard models by Wednesday night. .'i. dim The checks covering the distribution were contained in envelopes that were taken from a Christmas tree, with President Leroy D. Walker in the role of Santa Claus. Employes of the Federal reserve bank and its branches last year re ceived bonuses of a substantial char acter.
