Phil Metschan Jr., v.lc president of th Oregon State Hotel Men's usocia.tion, yesterday.

"It would be' striking a blow from which this state would never recover," continued Mr. Van - thizer.

"Var iseveral years Jio hunters and fishers have carried on an educational campaign for the propagation of wild life and the conservation of fish and , game. The number of licenses taken! out has Increased from about 8j.00 tour yers jigo to approximately 120, 100 fori 191. Many of these licenses were taken out and the fees paid by men the rived from licenses to be applied to the work of propagating wild life and conserving tho. game and fish. This work should not bo borne by general tax but by those who fish and hunt And for our I and they are more than- willing to do it. It should be a special purpose fund paid by a special class to pro mote a speeial state asset. kow rand ts Aalsod. "The political plotters would have the people and the members of the legislature believe that the fund is spent by tho fish and game commis sion without giving any account to the state. Nothing could be further from the truth and, I think, of the entire house,' said Mr. Littlefield, "to get it out of the way so there will be no chance of log rolling or using it as a club to influence other legislation. The ob Ject of the people was plain and this legislature will be defeating the mis sion they wero sent here for if they make a joke of it." Another important measure that may come in for debate the coming week Is the Schuebel bill to abolish the present fish and game commission and create a new Doaro, of which the governor is the head and the master fish and game wardens appointive and remov able members are the 'other members. This bill has already been placed in FARMERS PAY MORTGAGES Great Bend.. Kan.. Jan. !., With an average of JSOO cash in the bank for every man, womanj and child in the county. Barton hibitlon law passed by - the .people in November. ,Th hotel men's bill pro poses that breweries, hotels and li quor distributing depots be licensed, respectively, for the making, sale and distribution of liquor. The hotel men propose that, as long as liauor is to be consumed in the state. Industries would be eliminated. BS, " and working men in the state may have the privilege ef making and handling it. instead of the profit and labor in volved going to outside concerns. Under the hotelmen's proposed amend ment, as under the Committee of One Hundred a proposed measure, barrooms Too only placa that the amendment would allow li quor to be sold would be at hotels, and then only to guests, under stringent regulations. The system of licenses proposed by the hotel men would give 90 per cent of the money collected to the municipalities in which collected. and 10 per cent to the state. . are paying off their mortgages at a rate that will soon cause Barton coun ty to be without a mortgage on farm property.

Premier Vi via nl has received a report from the government commission which has been investigat ing the charges against the Germans of violation of the laws of war and humanity. This report ; comprises about 80 pages and will b published at an early date in the Journal Offl- ciel. Premier vivlana, writing to Deputy Henri 3alli' with reference to the reporU says that the testimony (United Prw Tinned Wirt.) Los Angeles, Jan. 16. Attorneys for Glenn Witt, found guilty of the murder of William M, Alexander, -said today that they probably will appeal to a higher court. The Jury in Witt'a case returned a verdict of murder, in; the first degree, automatically carry ing with it a sentence or death.. It was Identical with the verdict In the case of Charles Oxnam. Witt's" pal In the attempt at burglary that resulted In the killing of Alexander. When the verdict was read after the jury had debated an hour Witt flew into a, violent rage. " l nai jury is a par. gi uogs, n- cried. "There isn't as much justice here as there Is in Mexico," 8houting imprecations at the Jury, he was?striding toward the box when he was1 seised by a bailiff and hustled into the Jury room. A moment later, as the Jurors filed through the room, he grabbed the ballots that lay on a table and hurled them at the men who had convicted him, losing his temper completely in spite ef the protests of his. aged mother, who elung to his arm. .
