Finley, former state biologist, in an open letter to Governor : Olcott, Finley says it appears strange to him why the legislature, in its search to get mony to run the state govern ment, xa continued to overlook the one big nXiural Income-producing resource that Oregon has over nearly every other state in the Union. ; FISHEEMEX WOULD OBJECT Further. Ftnlay contends that the fish are raised at the expense of the taxpayers of . the state, and that, if they are to continue to pay for propa gation of commercial fish, they should at least take a share of royalty in the crop and deposit it in the general fund. "If the state used the common busi ness principle practiced by most other states and by the government in regard to all the seining grounds, trap and set net locations she owns, the people would have a little pin money in the general fund to run the state government and would not have to take so much out of their pockets." says Finley. , "Of course, if the legislature embarked on this business course of - using the salmon runs owned by the state for the benefit of all the people, it would raise a great cry from the commercial fisher men, j SAL(OV LOBBT STRONG ; ' "As a state official for eight years, I have seen some of the ways and methods of a very powerful salmon lobby. It is not expected that any class of people who have for years received such large gifts from the state will re lease their special privileges without a big fight "When the state grows forests on its own land, does It Intend to give the tim ber free-to a corporation that asks to come in and build a-sawmill? Does the State, after raising a crop of fruit and vegetables on -the asylum farm, donate the crop to a commercial cannery? Why does the state hatchery raise and protect its wonderful crop of commercial fish in the public waters and . theo donate the crop to a comparatively small group who do not now, or never have had. the, fair ness to meet the bills forvtbe sowing of the seed ? , FISHERMEN BENEFITED ' "At thepresent time the state collects, say $40,000 or $50,000 a year in commer cial fishing licenses. None of the money goes to the general fund. It is credited to the, hatchery funds and every dollar goes D&CK to me- propagation ana pro tection of commercial fish. " The state merely acts as the agent for the com mercial fishermen, sows the" seed, pro tects the crop and then donates the harvt.- is. "The state is even more philanthropic than this. For years It has been con tributing $40,000 or $50,000 out of your taxes and mine to pay the bills for rats ing a bigger crop of salmon so the com mercial fishermen can get bigger finan cial returns. T '." . , "There . is one immediate remedy cwnicn nope you can -propose 10 me legislature that Id. to increase all com mercial fishing licenses so that the peo ple who reap the gigantic free harvest of salmon will at least pay the yearly expense of keeping up the supply. : This will be an immediate cash saving to the taxpayers of $91,300, which the commer cial: fishermen are asking of the joint ways and means committee-" ' J t ' Finley goes further into a lengthy dis cussion of the methods employed in other states, and the tactics employed In the past In Oregon in regard to public lands and natural products. - Finley Is now lecturing - for the Na tional Association of Audubon societies, and the letter is ' sent to the governor from Santa Monica, Cat. ;. : Presbyterians .

FAMINE IN CHINA CALLED APPALLING According to Moy Back Hln. Chi nese consul, who is receiving first hand reports direct from the famine stricken provinces of North China, the Buffering in the drouth-ruined district, where 45,000,000 people, are menaced with death by starvation, is appalling, and any and all kinds of food suitable for shipment will be gratefully received by the relief workers who are struggling desper ately to save the emaciated famine victims, among whom are 10,000,000 children, Moy Back Hln rejoices in the efforts now being made to assemble shipments of salmon, wheat, flour, fruits and other foodstuffs, of which Oregon has vast overstocks on hand. for . early shipment by free government transportation to the suffering Chinese. He says that millions of men. women and children arc now eating bark and leaves and solely by this means keeping themselves alive. Suicide and the drowning of themselves and their babies by Chinese mothers because of their hopeless con dition are common, and 15,000 are dying dally. Details too appalling for publica tion are given in personal letters to Portland Chinese and to local mission aries. As soon as shipments of food leave Portland the Chinese consul will cable his government, so thct protection for the supplies will be insured upon their arrival in China.
