Preserve Wild
Life of State
The wild life of Oregon in rela
tion to the welfare and develop
ment of the state was dismissed by
Arthur 1. Moulton, prominent Port
land sportsman, in an address be
fore the Rotary club here Thurs
day. E. W. Beckett was chairman.
Mr. Moulton said that because of
the large portion of government
lands in Oregon that only two-
thirds of the state was taxable, and
that the state would have to turn
to other means than direct taxation
as property is already burdened.
The state, he said, ought to and
is attracting outside people to the
state to enjoy the wild life. This,
according to Mr. Moulton, pays big
dividends to the state and the wild
life of the state should be preserved
in order that this income may con
tinue and offset the tax burden. He
said there was no use of advertising
for people to come here if wild
life is destroyed.
Control over the use of rivers so
that the fish and game would not
be destroyed and so that the state
might secure some revenue from
the disposal of power rights, was
urged by the Portlander, who rec
ommended a water board to deter
mine the charge and pass on all ap
plications for use of water.
