Salem. De 20 A complete sep
aration ef th gam and commercial
flahlrjg- interests of th state by th
ereation. -f a- aeparat t commission
to handle 'each will - b reoon
mended to the special session of
th Iegislatitre by Governor Oleott
as a ear fof ' tha constant frfction
and wrangling; which have marked
th past history of th tat Cah and
gam. eommission. . '
' This aanouncement wa mad today
by Oovsjoor Oloott aad uadoabtedly the
swvernors view were breuaht to a head
at this time by the hornet's nest which
has been stirred np aa a result of the
aotioa ef tha peasant commission to dts-
misstna- from office William X JTnley,
state biolorist and naturalist.
If the leglaUrnre puts Into effect the
governor's -ceoommeadeUons the ooraw
merelal fishing- Interests need no longer
be th object of suspicion on the part
of the sportsmen and the epertemea
win have a free hand to expend their
own funds in such manner as wfil be
to the best interests of th wild gam
life of the state.
"It is my intention to recommend to
the legislature at the special session
January U that an entirely new deal
of tha card . be made tor th handling
of Csh aad gam affairs, -both from
the ancle of tne sportsmen aad the
commercial fishermen." said Oovemor
Oloott "I am convinced that factional
difference and strife as to fish and
game affairs win continue to the grave
detriment of the wild life of the state
unless a radical change is made. The
sooner this Chang is effected the better.
Flah and game constitute one of our
greatest assets and consequently X con
sider the situation sufficiently' import
ant to make my proposed recommenda
tions at the special session rather than
delay them another year. ., .
GOYZeUrOK'S RECOJUfEHDATIOH
"Briefly, say receotnmenaatlon win b
as follows :
"Separate and divorce and completely
commercial fishing and th sportsmen's
interests by the creation of two dis
tinct commission.
"Create a commission of three mem
bers to handle commercial fishing af
fairs exclusively, with no power to in
any manner Interfere with th inter
ests of the spur maea,
"Create a commission of five members
to have sola Jurisdiction ever hunting
and angling from the sportsmen'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 eommercisi interests would
have sole control of the expenditures
of the funds raised for the benefit of
commercial fishing.
-The governor should b a member
of neither commission. The manner of
selection ef the- membership f each of
these commission is a matter 1 desire
to leave, entirely tn th hands f th
legislature to determine.
or FAxas rosmojr .
"Mr decision to make, the recom
mendations has been reached only after
due deliberation, and after giving seri
ous thought to th varkMas phase in
volved. I had hoped to reserve my
findings untn a final report was re
ceived from the expert who has beea
designated to examine Into the affairs
of the present oommisslon. But 1 am
sufficiently satisfied that, whatever, his
report may be, the highest eagre 01
harmony and sff eettveaess cannot be
attained under present conditions.
"As it now stands, the governor is
chairman of- the euimnlsekaa. - This is
wrong te theory and in practice. The
offices of the commission ar located In
Portland. The executive has little
knowledge of the commission's actual
transactions, except that gained througB
correspondence aad aa occasional visit
at the regular monthly meetings.
"X am net endeavoring' to evade dm
snonsibUltie that so with my office.
But when I have become eotmncea
through actual experience Jthat any ad
ministrative system of the state gov
ernment is based cpon wrong principles
I would be derelict in my duty if I faUbd
to hasten to correct me evil.
FEOFUE MXSTJjrMSTOO '
-With th cbalnnanahlp of th com
mission lodged In tha chief executive, a
general feeling- baa grown up that th
chairman of th commission la respoa
stbie for ail of its acts. This even goes
to the extent that many people feel the
cemmissioB should be mboervient to
every wish of the executive. They fur;
ther feel that unless there is such sub-
servlencs the executive should straight-
war exercise his power by dislodging
the commissioner ana seiecang a new
erona entirely.
This condition Itself Is wrong. breed
Ins: discontent and distrust tn the tnmds
of large numbers of th people- who Oth
erwise inherently ar actuated by a true
aad sincere wish for better gam pro
tection and propagation."
