CHANGE IN FISHING
LAWS SOUGHT BY
REEDSPORT MEN
Representative Sent to Roseburg
to Confer With Douglas County
Delegation on Situation.
Hoseburgr,, Jan. 8. -j-Reedsport fish
ermen are again asking for a change
to be made in the, fishing laws gov
erning the lower Urapqua river. J.
A. Zachary of Reedsport was sent
as a special representative to Rose
burg to confer with the Douglas
county delegation i regarding such a
.move. .' :
The lowr river season does not cc
incide with other Motions, and they are
asking for a 10-day-longer open season
fo? salmon flshingj The present open
seasons are: January 10 to April j 15
and May 15 to November 20.
DESIRE CHANGE ". '
.The fiaheVmen desire the open seasons
from December 20 o February 10, March
20 to May 1, and June 1 to November
' 20.. No. change will be asked In the
present law requiring no fishing for 24
hours each week. I
With the present law the lower river
fishermen have about 12 days of good
fishing during the spring run of salmon.
Zachary. said, and fishermen are unable
to make enough money to pay for oil
and hanging their nets.
"We are levying a tax of cent per
pound on commercial fish for the pur
pose of building up -the hatchery to the
highest state of efficiency, and as
spring chinooks are j the only fish
hatched, the fishermen,' under the pres
ent law receive practically no benefit,"
he said. :.
TIDES INTERFERE
- "We get but about six hours' fishing
out of 24. owing to the ebb and flood
tides. When freshets are 'on we can
fish for longeif periods, but this cuts
no, figure as they are not frequent The
lower river is shallow and full of tenags
In many places and drifting can be done
only in mid-stream, making but 50 per
cent of the stream . available for fish
ing." A committee, composed of Captain
William Wright, Ray W. Clark and Guy
Cordon, from .Umpqua post, American
. Legion, won . approval from a repre
sentative body of taxpayers Thursday
for the ex-service men's request for a
state home-loan ' law. Douglas county
has 1400 ex-service men and it is esti
mated at least half of that number
would avail themselves of the oppor
tunity to build themselves - homes if
aided by a state loan.
Legislative Session
Piscussed for Women
Bv Senator Eitner
, Addresses and discussion of timely
topics characterized the meeting of the
Portland Federation of Women's Or
ganizations Saturday at the Portland
hotel with an attendance of 'more than
200 representative clubwomen of -the
city. .: . '
Senator Roy W. Rltner of Pendleton
spoke on "The .1921 Session; What It
Should. Bring." He touched on some
ef the big things . that will come up
before the lawmakers. Ritner Bald the
biggest problem would be to keep .within
the 6 per cent tax limitation, and that,
'with the present tendency' toward nor
mal living costs, increased apportion
ments would be few. He said, how
ever, that he would favor an increase
in the salary of the state school super
intendent and the attorney general. He
said he "would also favor a bill set
ting aside a sum of money for the use
of the governor in addition to his sal
ary of 15000. "He said the lobby of
bond , dealers who worked so zealously
to become, exempt-from the blue sky law
is now probably sorry for their effort
.and. that an amendment In this con
nection . would be offered. .....
' He expressed the hope that Oregon
may have a law that will protect the
Efficient teacher and provide a means
I of ridding the school system of the in
I efficient teacher. In closing he referred
to the redisricting of the state for the
flection of senators and representatives
and said that a bill to this effect would
be Introduced.
i J. E. Gratke brought to the Federation
a big vision of the plans for the 1 92 U ex
position for Portland. The movement
ws given the unanimous indorsement of
the Federation.
I Mrs. E. J. Steele presented the proj
ect of a woman's building for Portland,
which was ' enthusiastically' "received.
Mrs. D. M. Watson announced that the
home industries committee will be in
charge of a visit of the federation to

Alien Land Bill Is
Put to Legislators
Of s State of Idaho
Boise, Idaho, Jan. 8. (U. P.) The
first 'alien land bill 'of the sixteenth ses
sion was introduced today in the Idaho
legislature. The bill Is a short one, pro
viding for the amending of section 5327
of the compiled laws to read :
"Any person, whether citizen or alien,
may takef hold and dispose of property,
real or personal, providing, however, that
a citizen of anv foreign nation, the laws
of which do xrot permit any American
citizen to own land therein, cannot own
or lease lands in the state of Idaho."
Another brief provision is:
"That no resident , alien 'of a nation,
the laws of which do not permit any
American citizen to own land therein,
shall be allowed to inherit lands in
Idaho."
No reference is made in the bill to
any nation, but it is evidently aimed
to exclude Japanese from acquiring land
here a. citizens of foreign nations are
not permitted to own land in Japan.
The bill was referred to the committee
on immigration- ; j ;
A bill was introduced in the house
today prohibiting the marriage of whites
with Mongolians and also prohibiting
marriage of first cousins.

Joint Commission
Aims to Segregate
2 Fishing Interests
To effect complete segregation of the
commercial and t game - fishing super
vision of the state,, the joint fish com
mission in session Saturday .'afternoon
decided to recommend a that separate
commissions be established and that the
appointive power be placed In the gov
ernor. . . f . . . .. t . ! '
Under the present plan of game and
commercial fish . supervision complete
segregation of the two interests has been
practically impossible. The - joint com
mission was created last fall in an at
tempt to prevent interference of com
mercial interests with the game de
partment. ' ;j ' 4
At a meeting held Saturday morning
the game commission agreed to request
the repeal of the joint commission leg
islation. This - decision was concurred
in by the joint commission.
Other matters which will come before
the legislature were discussed at the
afternoon meeting, but no important
steps were taken. The next meeting of
the joint commission will be held at
Salem January 17, when further consid
eration of legislation will be given.

ZIEGLER OPPOSES
Total of $60,110,000 in Bonds
and Taxes Seen f J. B. Kerr
Disagrees With Statement.
Dr. J. B. Ziegler, who has given
much study to port law and port ad
ministration, has decided after an
analysis of the port measures Which
will be offered for enactment to the
legislature that the large grants of
taxing and bonding power embodied
are unnecessary., j
The total fiscal power for the nine
year period contemplated by the legis
lation would be, he says, $13,500,000 in
taxes! and $46,680,000 in .bonds, or a
total of J60.180.000. Of this amount
bonds aggregating $18,680,000 would . be
referred to the people. (
J. B. Kerr, who drafted the port bills,
does inot 4gree with Dr. Ziegler as to
the extent of the bonding power. He
says that previous authority j and the
proposed grant will cover altogether 5
per Cent of the assessed - valuation of
property In the port district; that con
sequently the total bonding power is
$16,500,000, of which the part not needed
at once for necessary channel work will
be issued o'nlv after author! tv has been
granted by vote of. the people of the
port oistnct.
Dr.! Ziegler. however, remarked :
.- "After the people have financed the
port to the extent of about $20,000,000
and. If port funds are now to be en
larged to three times the forme amount,
is that a proper time for those furnish
ing . the 1 money to divest control to a
body not acting under the city charter
and not subject to its carefully devel
oped; regulations nor to the will of the
people carrying these heavy burdens?
Itt is contrary to the spirit of our
constitutional law, and -I doubt very
much if it Is in agreement with its
letter."
Dr. Ziegler approves the bill which
the legislature will be asked to refer
to the people of the port district and
which provides for the appointment ol
port -commissioners by the governor.

Tuition Measure
Salem, Jan. 8. Branding as "perni

peal of the amendment and opposing the

perintendents urged the! enactment of a
law making it incumbent upon counts
health officers and district boundary
boards to make thorough investigations
of sanitary -conditions when reported to
be bad ; recommending an annual audit
of all school district funds r recommend
ing an increase in the salary of the

Issues Statement Defining His
Stand on the Teacher
Tenure Law. r '1
To clean - up conjecture as to his
position on the teacher tenure lav,
School Director .George B. Thomas
on Saturday issued a statement say
ing that he favors the changes pro
posed by a majority of his col
leagues. .: j
At the same time he said, that had it
not been for the Inflexible position taken
by the teachers he would have supported
a, proposal rfo retain the appeal commis
sion for the trial of teachers ' Vhose
dismissal Is not agreed to by all five
members of the board. 5
STATE3 POSITION
It . has never . been my idea entlrisiy
to abolish the teachers' commission of
appeals," he said, "but rather to restrict
its jurisdiction to the cases of those
teachers dismissed by less than a unani
mous vote of the five members of the
school board. It is my opinion that
when five members of the school board
are unanimous In their judgment that
for the good of the service a teacher
shoaid- be discharged and so : state "in
an; official vote while the beard is "in
session, no appeals should lie to the
teachers' commission of appeals, but
