"This more, which will be sup

two additional geologists for
South American studies within a

will not have been entirely in
vain, I am Inclined to think that
tne controlling factor was their
conscience.
It is a verv serious matter for
an Individual to violate a law of
bis country. This is true whether
the law Is of such a nature that
the violator is easily detected
and punished or whether the na
ture of the law Is such that Its
violation Is not so easily dis
covered or punishment of the
violator , is avoided la some other
way. It Is equally serious If ob
servance of the law is disregard
ed by a person holding the high
est government position or the
guilty one is an ordlnay . person
or a common eltlcen. If all of us
were more Intent in observing
the laws of our land, many of
the problems . confronting as
would be eliminated.
On tha other hand It aa also
a serious matter for an in.Wfld-
ual to violate his conscience, es
pecially If that conscience Is
tronnded' In orlnclnlea which
have stood the test of time. Con
science is with a person continual
ly wherever he may be and what
ha does with It larrelr determ
ines his peace of mind and de
termines the development or his
character and Dersonalltr. If a
srraatar number. f oar citizens
were cdfleerned-tn deeloptngftuy
within their makeup an enlight
ened conscience and had the in
clination and courage to follow
the direction of their consciences,
we would be saved from many
unfortunate conditlona and would
be a freer and a happier people.
Our 'eountry would need fewer
laws and it would have a ten
Hencv to free us from that com
plicated system Of laws which
has been and Is being built up
and which Is baffling the best
minds in an effort to meet out
ustlce through it.
Tn tha matter under discus
sion, It Is between law and con
Henra that these vounx men
seemed to think that they were
called upon to make a cnoice.
Did' they make the right and
wise choice? Some may consider
themselves prepared to answer
that Question without hesitation,
and others mav deem It neces-
srr tn await the deTelODment
of future events before this ques
tion may be finally answered.
Tt was atated In one of your
editorials that the majority In
all nations were opposed to war,
and Indicated that It was the
wicked rulers who Instigated
war. If this be true, then It
would seem that the means of
stopping war is at hand, for if
tha msioritv In sll nations would
refuse to go to war or support
war, there couia ne no war. uui

The Safety Valve
OPPOSES VALLEY DAMS
To the Editor: I received a
copy of the Salem Statesman Of
December I, containing an edi
torial entitled "Opposing the Val
ley Project." This refers te the
annual meeting of the Oregon
Wildlife Federation at Corvallls
and states that the sportsmen,
without proper investigation, op
pose the Willamette Valley pro
ject. It also states that the
army engineers' plans for this
project provide for safeguarding
fish life In the Willamette river
and its tributaries.
If four high dams are . built
on the north and south forks of
the Santiam, the McKenzie, and
the middle fork of the Wlllam
ette, the army engineers have
stated that these cannot be sup
plied with fish ladders. We have
a state law to the effect that
dams that block our migratory
fish runs cannot be constructed
unless authorised by the atate
fish and game commissions. Both
of these commissions have oppos
ed the building of these four
dams. The sportsmen also feel
that this state law ahould not
be violated.
The Willamette .River Basin
commission has Informed the
public that an extra million dol
lars will be spent by the govern
ment on hatcheries and will not
are the fisheries from the
destructive effects of their pro
posed dams, but will actually im
prove both commercial and sport
fishing. This Is not true, accord
ing to the studies made by atate
and federal fish experts.
. The artificial spawning of cer
tain varieties of fish has been
very successful. The facts show
fhat other fish, like the spring
Chinook salmon, can be spawn
ed, but later they gradually dis
appear if their natural spawning
beds are destroyed.
The Baird hatchery on the
headwaters of the Sacramento
river In California was establish
ed years ago by the United States
Bureau of Fisheries. For some
time this hatchery handled about
20.000,000 salmon eggs each sea
son, but nevertheless It has been
abandoned simply because. In
spite of its efforts, the salmon
hare disappeared. The same thing
occurred where Chinook salmon
were artificially propagated In
the Salmon river in Idaho, and
that hatchery was also abandon
ed.
Again, years ago when the
Clackamas river, tributary of the
Willamette, was blocked with
power dams, the bureau of fish
eries built a hatchery a few
miles up In the hope of main
taining the Chinook runs. They
stopped all the salmon at River
Mill dam, and they were spawned
artificially. Instead of increasing
or holding their own, the num
bers of fish returning to the river
steadily dropped. Where 2.428,-
000 eggs were taken in 1031, the
supply had dropped in 1S3S to
300,000. Finally the salmon were
permitted to ascend a fish lad
der at River Mill, and s new
fish ladder recently constructed
at Casadero, because the only
hope seemed to He la allowing
them to spawn naturally.

SENATORS NEW BOSS
To the Editor: The Salem Sen
ators and Mrs. George E. Waters
are indeed very fortunate tn hav
ing a man of Howard Maple'a. abil
ity available to step into Salem's
baseball picture. Howard Is a
man who will not only receive the
support of the business and the
professional men but will also re
ceive the support of the common
every day fan. and no ball clab
can be successful without this
support.
Howard being a former catcher
can be expected to see the need
of an experienced catcher, which
was the Senators most glaring
need in the past season. It is
hoped that it will be possible for
him to build his team with more
of the younger talent, . which
means for a faster brand of base
ball than does a team composed
of veterans.
The Ideal team seems to be the
one composed of a veteran catch
er, a necessity to good pitching.'
and one veteran inflelder as a
steadying, inflaence for the re
mainder of the infield. Slow out-1

league clubs must draw their In

I am and always will be a sup
porter or baseball la any form. I
would like to see an active fans
club organised here In Salem. The
purpose of which would be to
hold meetings to discuss ways and
means of supporting the Senators
and for discussions of the na
tlonal pastime, as well as the
good of our home clab. If other
fans of this community are in

this kind, I will be glad to do my

APPRECIATES LANDSCAPING
To the Editor: Aa one of those
who live near the city reservoir
I desire to make use of this
means to express publicly our sp
preciation of the beautiful land
scaping done the past summer on
the east and south of the reser
voir by the water commission.
The shrubbery which lines the
reservior, the nice grass and the
beautiful flowers have added
much to the appearance of this
city property and have given us
all much pleasure. We also ap
preciate the attention and skill
with which the gardener has
eared for the grass and flowers.
