In the Chamber of Commerce, made for
mal request -upon Governor Olcott Fri
day night for a thorough investigation
of the affairs of . the Oregon fish, and
game commission to determine to what
extent the revenues from hunters' and
anglers' licenses are being devoted to
the propagation of commercial fish. The
action was taken In the form of a reso
lution addressed - to the governor, the
document being prepared by State Sen
ator John- Gill as a substitute for a
similar resolution prepared and adopted
by the Oregon Sportsmen's league.
The action was taken after - State
Game Warden Carl Shoemaker had re
viewed his side of the long controversy
that has been waged between the anglers
and the commercial fishermen. He was
allowed all the time he wished, accord
ing to President R. W. Price; and only
after he had talked for an hour and 40
minutes did the demand come from the
floor of the meeting that vote be taken
on the question before the house.
'The resolution, as adopted by a large
majority vote, was as follows :

and near extermination of game, birds
and animals of our state is apparent to

Thla committee may report it favor
ably to the senate, it may report It un
favorably, or report it without Tecom

While- the committee report In no way
will indicate ; the - final senate action,
both friends and opponents of the league
are alive to the preliminary advantage
ef a committee report favoring their
side. "'
For this reason, both sides are trying
to organize the . foreign relation com
mittee so that they will have the ma
jority on it. '
The first, part of the fight will come
in Republican caucus, when an effort
will be made to fill the three or four
Republican vacancies on the commit
tee, with league opponents.

; The next part of the battle will be be
tween Republicans and Democrats as
to whether there would be nine Repub
licans and eight Democrats or 10 Re
publicans and seven Democrats on the
committee.
If the Republicans have only a ma
jority of one, all of them would have to
vote against the league to get an un
favorable report. If all the Democrats
supported iU This is" unlikely, 'since
Senator McCumber, a Republican com
mittee member, is for the league. If the
Republican majority were 10 to 7, how
ever, they might take adverse action

.Effect of the universal general elec

archy. As was the case with all my for
tunes of the last decades, the root of this
mischievous agitation for the universal
equal suffrage law was In Hungary. In
order to - understand the deeper- moods
behind this movement and be able to
draw final conclusions from It a short
review of its origin la necessary.
Hungary from the ground up lacks any
dynastic and greater state sentiment.
For the Hungarian the king is nothing
mori than a glittering dome for a con
stitutional building and the "loyal love
and fidelity" for the momentary bearer
of the crown is closely allied to his ab
solute subordination to the will of the
people. The king and a glittering array
of Magyar courtiers belong in the frame
of the Magyar idea of a constitution. A
doll adorned with a crown and scepter
would answer the same purpose.
The Austrian half of the monarchy is
merely considered , as a- means for
strengthening Hungary. Its position as
one of the powers resulting: from the
union with Austria should be a shield to
