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

people feel the commission should b
