Legislative Investigators Hold

SCENES AT MULTNOMAH AMATEUR ATHLETIC CLUB PICNIC AT CRYSTAL LAKE PARK,
YESTERDAY.
JDOCC
IS PROBE WANTED? ASKED
Xo One of Senators and Represent
atives Displays Any Urcut En
thusiasm for Investigation.
Tf the fish and game commission
wants to be investigated, or if the
I'ortland anglers want it investigated,
a probe will be applied by a special
committee appointed by the legisla
ture to do so. This was as far as the
special committee proceeded yester
day when It assembled, in the Imperial.
None of the senators or representa
tivea on the committee displayed an
extraordinary enthusiasm for begin
ning an investigation unless there is
a demand, for me reason that they
do not wish to stir up the discordant
elements and resurrect the bitterness
and feud, which was rampant last le
cember and January.
The legislative committee consists
of Representatives L. E. Bean of Lane,
Harvey Cross of Clackamas and- W. G.
Hare of Washington; Senators A. W.
N'orblad of Clatsop and Lkus lach
niund of Marion. The resolution call
ing for a committee to make the in
vestigation was introduced in the spe
cial session of 1920 by Mr. Bean,
where there were charges and counter
charges regarding the state fish and
game commission, and the then state
biologist, W. L. Finley.
Investigation to Be Thorough.
"Whether anyone now wants an in
vestigation members of the commit
tee didi not know, but Mr. Bean was
instructed to find out by correspond
ence with the commission, with Rich
ard Trice and H. B. Van Duzer rep
resenting a faction of anglers, and Mr.
Kiniey. If an investigation is wanted,
the committee, without dissent, in
londs going clear to the bottom.
Mr. Cross said that when he re
turned home from the special session
he was called on by Mr. Van Duzer
and' another man. who requested that
when the investigation was held that
they would be given an opportunity to
appear. This was the only informa
tion any of the five legislators had
on the subject, and the request was
five months ago.
One of the accusations made by the
anglers against the commission was
that money had been misappropriated
by being taken from the game fund
and used for the propagation of com
mercial fish. Since that charge was
leveled at the commission, a certified
public accountant has audited th'e
books of the fish and game commis
sion, and his report disproves the alle
gation, one of the legislators pointed
out.
"What's the use of investigating, if
no one wants it done?" demanded Mr
Hare, after the committee had at
tempted to discover whether there
was any reason for their existence.
Old Alignment Still Klnl.
The only incident which disclosed
that the alignment of the 1919 and
191,'Q sessions still exists came when
it was proposed that a permanent or
K'anization be effected for the possi
ble investigation. Although Mr. Bean
fathered the resolution which created
the committee. Senator Lachmund
nominated Mr. Hare for permanent
rhatrman. and Mr. Hare nominated
Mr. Lachmund, and Senator N'orblad
nominated Mr. Bean. Mr. Cross re
mained the unknown quantity, as he
did at Salem. In the past two ses
sions Senator Lachmund and Mr. Hare
played, the same "game," and Senator
N'orblad and Mr. Bean were on the
opposite side. A compromise was ef
fected by taking no action for perma
nent organization, and Mr. Bean was
left as temporary chairman. How
ever, all correspondence he has with
the commission, the anglers and Mr.
Finley is to be furnished, in copy, to
the other members.
State Game Warden Burghduff ap
peared before the committee and
plated that certain property belonging
to the state of Oregon is still in the
possession, of Mr. Finley, the property
having a value of several thousand
dollars. Mr. Finley has not returned
i his property, explained the game
warden. Mr. Hare contended that
uuch an affair did not belong prop
erly before the legislatii'e committee,
and that the state could institute suit
ip replevin its property from the
former state biologist.

WASHINGTON. June 5. Congress'
was charged today by President Wil
son with failure to take "important
remedial action with respect to the
cost of living" and to give "serious
consideration" to the revision of the
tax laws and the problems of peace.
Telegraphing to the heads of the
16 railroad brotherhoods several
hours before the national lawmakers
ended their session the president said:
"It muft be evident to all that the
dominating motive which has actu
ated this congress is political expe
diency rather than lofty purposes to
serve the public welfare."
Itnrdfua Held Vnneceavary.
The president's message was in
reply to one from the brotherhood of
ficials protesting against the adjourn
ment of congress. Mr. Wilson said
that "in the light of the record of th
present congress 1 have no reason to
hope that its continuance in session
would result In constructive mea
sures for the relief of the economic ;
conditions to which you call atten
tion." The president added that "the pro
tracted delay in dealing with the
problem of the railroads, the prob
lem of the government-owned mer
chant marine and other similar ur
gent matters has resulted in un
necessary burdens on the public
treasury and ultimately In legislation
it. if at all, only because I 'despaired.
of anything better." ti.!l
The text of the president's telegram-
follows:
Important Action l.arkluc.
"I received your telegram of June "
3. You call my attention to matters
that I presented to the present con
gress In a special message delivered
at a joint session ofithe two houses
August 8. 1919. In nine months this
congress has. however, taken no lm-w-portant
remedial action with respect
to the problem of the cost of livinar
on the lines indicated in that address,
or on any line. Not only has the
present congress failed to deal direct
ly with the cost of living, but it has
failed even to give serious consider- ' j
ation to the urgent appeal, oft-re-
peated by me and bv the secretaries
of the treasury, to revise the tax laws
which in their present form are
indirectly responsible in part for the v
high cost of living.
"The protracted delay in dealing -with
the problem of the railroads, the
problem of the government-owned
merchant marine and other similar
urgent matters has resulted in unnec-
cessary burdens upon the public treas
ury and ultimately in legislation so
unsatisfactory that 1 could not ac- '
cept it, if at all, only because I de
spaired of anything better. The pres
ent congress has not only prevented
the conclusion of peace in Europe, but
has failed to present any constructive
plan for dealing with the deplorablw
conditions there, the continuance ot
which can only reflect upon us.
"In the light of the record of tho
present congress I have no reason -whatever
to hope that its continuance
in session would result in constructive
measures for the relief of the ceo
nomic conditions to which you call at
tention. It must be evident to all that
the dominating motive which has ac
tuated this congress is political ex
pediency rather than lofty purpose to ' -serve
the public welfare."
