TWO BOARDS ARE URGED BY OLCOTT Governor Will Recommend Radical Revolution in Meth od of Administering Fish and Game Affairs - WANTS CONTENDING INTERESTS DIVORCED Dismissal of Finley Brings An nouncement From Execu tive Office Declaring his conviction iJit un der the present method of h-uJl!ng the fish and game afUirs of the state factional differences will continue to the-detriment of the wild life of the tale. Governor Olcott yetteray an nounced that be will recommend to the special session of Ike leglslatare la January a radical change ia the system. Govern,.- Olcott proposes to di vorce coMi..tely the interests of the sportsmen mad ihe commercial men by asking the legislature to create two distinct commissions. He would not have the governor a member of either commission. IimUaI Brings Ktornu The fish and game situation la Or egon has been brought sharply to a hesd by ths commission's recent dis missal of William r Flnley as state biologist. This action has brought down s pon the governor a stack nf protests from people who ronstttv.' Mr. Flnley s services have been ac Invaluable asset to the state and to the scientific world. When no spe cific reason could be elicited from the commission as to why Flnley was let oat the conclusion was reached that he did not fit in with the com mission's scheme of things in a po litical way aad that the com mis-Ion decided to cat hi mad rift. This caus ed a storm of protest to b precipitat ed npon the head of the governor. "I am convinced that factional dif ferences aad t-'fe as to fish and game affairs in continue to the grave detriment the wild life of the state an less a radical change is made. said the governor. -The soon r this change is effected the better. Fish and gam con ft! tuts one of oar greatest assets aad cos? qoenty I consider the situation suf ficiently Important to make by pro posed recommendations at the spe cial session rather than delay them another year. ItaromMdtloi Stated. -Briefly." my recommendations will be as follows: -Separate and divorce completely commercial fishing and the sports men's interests by the creation of two distinct commissions. "Create a commission of three members to handle commercial fish ing affairs exclusively with no pow er to in any manner interfere with the interests of the sportsmen. - "Create a commission of five mem bers to have sole Jurisdiction over hunting and angling from the sports men's standpoint. "Funds derived from banting ana angling licenses would be expended solely under the control of tho com mission created to protect the sports men's interests and the commission governing commercial ltneresta would have soK- mr.trol of the ex penditures of the fands raised tor the benefit of commercial fishing. "The governor would be a member of neither commission. The manner of selection of the membership of each of these commissions is a mat ter I desire to leave entirely in the hands of the legislature to determlae. Report Not Awaited. "My decision to make these recom mendations has been reached only after due deliberation and after giv ing serious thought to the various phases involved. I had hoped to re serve by findings until a final report was received from the expert who has been designated to examine into the affairs of the present eo. amission Put I am sufficiently satisfied that, whatever his report may be, t)e high est degree of harmony and effect iveness cannot be attained under present conditions. "As it now stands the governor Is chairman of the commission. This Is wrong in theory and in practice. The f.liU of the commission are located in Portland. The executive has little knowledge of the commis sion's actusl transactions except that gained through correspondence and an occasional visit at the regular monthly meetings. IWerl In .y.tera Cited. "I am not endeavoring to evade .the responsibilities that go with my office. But when I have become con vinced through actual experience that any administrative system of the state government is based upon wrong principles I would be derelict In my duty if I failed la hastening to correct the evil. "With the chairmanship or th eommit-Mon lodged In the chief ex ecutive a general feeling has grown up that the chairman of the commis sion is responsible for its acts. This even goes to the extent that many people feel the commission should b subservient to every wish of the ex ecutive. They farther feel thst un- (Contiaaed on page 2)
