CRIME AGAINST WHOLE PEOPLE
I The commercial salmon hatcheries of the state of Oregon
and all the operations "of the master fish warden and the
director of natcheries cost, for the year up to December 1st
last, a total of $174,502.67. This sum was derived from
poundage! fees, fines, cannery and seine and net and boat
licenses and other charges .;
Was paid by the people engaged iirthe commercial fishing
industry; (Tha game fishing industry is a separate depart
ment.) : ; ."' !- ; ' J ' y
Hie operations of the master fish warden and the director
of the salmon hatcheries are carried on. principally for the
protection of the supply of fish . ":. . l
t ' And the oneration of the 28 hatcheries and feedinsr Donds
and, stations for; securing the fish cost last year ?104f7J6.51;j
and the number, of fish and eggs handles j&n to the huget total
of 184,128;268kt a cost of 57 cents per 1000 .
And practically the whole of these operations were on
streams that are tributary to the Willamette, and on the
cctjsrais--- .V " : -. " ' "'"..::'
Andvhyl -. - -
; The answer to that question furnishes the crux of the
reason why the Columbia river should be entirely cleaned up;
made free from the operation of fish wheels, traps and other
fixed gear ,
Because when this is done, the number of fish hatched
and released to go down to the sea and come back fish of
commercial size may be increased almost indefinitely. The
- reason is that the "Columbia and its tributaries cover an
empire, compared with the Willamette arid its tributaries.
But there can be no hatcheries maintained by the state of
Oregon on the Columbia and its tributaries, because the fish
wheels 'and st gear in the Columbia river'get nearly all the
fish on the way to the spawning grounds. -
The Santiam and South Santiam hatcheries send each
year past Salem overv 11,000,000 young salmon, on their way
to the ocean, to come back commercial fish
And the fish wheels and set gear get half of them. The
5000 to 7000 fishermen get the other half.. : : H .......
- The number of fishermen might be increased to 30,000, or
pernaps 50,000, with the Columbia river cleaned up and hatch
eries maintained on the tributaries of that river
vAnd the, fishing industry might bring" in $50,000,000 and
more- new money annually, instead of the $10,000,000 or so
now. " - ' ' '
, These; fish; wheels. and their kind are a crime against our
wnoie people; it is 50 men (and mainly two men) against a
, million people , ;
. 14 k an industry strangled in place of an industry free and
unhampered for great expansion. V '.'.."
Then why, in the name of common decency, does not the
legislature pass the bill before it, to complete the work started
oy tne people in their vote at the November election
: Why is the Columbia river not cleaned un?
: It is a' matter of common honestv and nnWiV nosnmr an4
horse sense to unbind the fetters of the commercial fishing

Complaint was made a few days ago that a Salem boy wa$
saved from serving in the Oregon state training-school and
taken back into the public school. I Why not? There is a
provision of the Oregon law covering such cases, when the
church or society of such a boy is willing to undertake his
care and supervision.' .That is very wise. There is nothing of
the spirit of j vindictiveness in Oregon's organic lawJThe
spirit is the opposite; it is reformatory. There is little or no
chafice of reformaton in vindictiveness. The welfare of the
boy. in which is bound.up the welfare of society, is the, first

Ernest R. Mowrer, professor i ef

It these is' to be less home dis

-The church, the courts and the
community,; he asserts, have not
met the problem. t
"The right combination has not
been found In court control,"
Mowrer says, "and the church has
not succeeded because it places
emphasis on sins rather than mer
