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."

THE HAGUE. Dec 18. (By the As
sociated Press.) 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.

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. This was due to the action
of the federal reserve board at Wash
ington. Employes whose salaries were
I18U0 or less received 10 per cent of
the annual pay in a bonus check;
those receiving from $1800 to $2400
received 15 per cent and those re
ceiving from that sum up to $5000
10 per cent. While no one has. any
inforfmation as to what may be au
thorized by the board this year, a
like distribution may be made. v
