Representative Bean Introduces
Bill for investigation of
Grave Charges.
State House, Salem. Jan. 12. The
house plunged into the fish and
game fight right off the bat when
Bean introduced a resolution pro
viding for a full investigation of the
fish and game commission and its
affairs by a joint committee to con
sist of two senators and three rep
resentatives, to report to the pra-
nt session of the legislature, if pos
sible.
Bean contended that there had been
grave charges made against -the com
mission and its work, and that correct
ive legislation was about to be intro
duced and considered. It would be
proper, he argued, to have the Informa
tion that such a probe would give tn
order to permit the legislature to pass
on the controversy with intelligence.
Smith of Baker contended that the
committee would not be able to finish
its investigation and the whole tangle
would go over until the next .session.
He thought that the "whole mesj"
ought to be cleaned up now and the
bands of the governor be not tied.
The vote on the resolution was halted

Chamber of 'Commerce Receives
Report Showing Game and -fish
Attractions invite Tourists.
Fish and game propagation ere
ates a resource worth millions of
dollars to the state, according to an
unusual series of telegrams just re
ceived by the Portland Chamber of
Commerce.
In 1919, 350,000 sportsmen left $30,
000,000 to $50,000,000 Jn Maine,' according
to a message from WUl Is EL Parsons,
Maine fish and game commissioner.
W. A. McRae. Florida commissioner of
agriculture, estimates by wire that tour
ists and sportsmen spend the startling
sum of $250,000,000 a year In his state.
Tourists leave $3,000,000 a year in Wis
consin ; 5000 non-resident anglers'
licenses are issued yearly, according to
the Wisconsin conservation commission.
The telegraphic claim of the San Fran
cisco Chamber of Commerce Is that 145,
000 tourists and sportsmen visiting the
Bay City In 1919 spent $11,600,000.
Denver's tourist bureau last year an
swered 94,290 Inquiries over the counter;,
tourist money aggregated $20,000,000.
Thus five scattered reports, repre
senting but a fraction of the tourist busi
ness, show proceeds of about 1315.000,000
from .tourist and sportsman ryisitation.
The telegrams are offered by the Port
land Chamber of Commerce as Irrefut
able argument of the profits to be had
from highway arid tourist hotel invest
ment and fish and game propagation.
