' ".'"'V State;Aclion John C Veatch, Portland, chair man of the state fish commission, told members of the joint house and senate commercial fisheries committee Monday that a guaran teed financial program was es sential to assure the prosperity and expansion of Oregon's com mercial fishing industry, . The discussion centered on an interim report of the 1943 legis lature which urged that the fish commission, now on a self-sustaining basis, ' receive a biennial appropriation. Under this proposal all licenses, poundage fees and other revenues of the commission would go, into th general fund of this state and be appropriated out in an amount determined by the various legislatures. Veatch stressed the recent de struction of salmon spawning grounds and the strain placed up on; the Industry by sport fisher men. Figures .were presented by Veatch to show that during a cer tain period the sportsmens' catch from the Willamette river, between uregon uuy ana Portland, ex- . eeeded the commercial catch. "We cannot Increase our pound age fees because of the competi tion that would result on the Washington side, "of the river,1 Veatch continued. A biennial ap propriation is the only sound means of solving the commercial fishing situation." ' Veatch said he was not in sym pathy with a proposal to combine the fish and game commissions.; Compensation, Retirement Funds for Volunteer, Paid ; .

LThe editor of the Oregon Labor Press,! pointing out that enforcer ment of the law would rest with tie courts rather than with ,;. administrative board of great power and wide discretion, said be believed the state could meet ; its problems "through established legal channels." WOULD RAISE SALARIES IThe : house Monday passed i but which would raise the sal dies of Linn County officers as follows: Judge $2600, commission- cm $2400, treasurer $2200, clerk $2600,' recorder . $2200, .sheriff $1800, assessor $2500, superinten dent of schools $2400. member; that members themselves would pay an additional $1, and that 10 per cent of the state's pro ceeds from taxeai on premiums of fire insurance companies go into the fund. i " ..--r Disability would bring $100 monthly for, six j months and $75 monthly thereafter so long as dis ability lasts. On death, widows would get $50 a month and $10 a month for each child under 18. A $100 additional also would be paid f of funerals.

The meas ure also would establish a board of trustees of the fund in each municipality or fire district. A retirement : provision would give $25 monthly to each member who retired after the age of 55 if he had served 25 years. Regarding the paid firemen's compensation and retirement pro posal, each member would pay in to that particular fund 4 -per cent of his salary rand the districts would equal that participation. An emergency fund of $25,000 would be created, and maintained by 50 per cent of all; money paid the state as taxes on premiums of fire insurance companies operating in Oregon. Specific benefits would depend on funds;; available. The bill was passed to- second reading. . - - Confiscation Rights'Asketl -In Liquor Bill' Under bills (SB 118 and 117, respectively) introduced Monday in the senate by its committee on alcoholic traffic, the state liquor control commission could declare the entire premises, where a sales violation has been proved, a com mon nuisance and could confis cate everything from the dishes on the shelves to the juke box. Ray Conway, state liquor com mission administrator, told the committee at a recent hearing that enforcement of j regulations over certain' night spots have been difficult because 'of lack of au thority to act quickly and to do more than close such establish ments! i: A third bill (SB 116) would le galize the practice of limiting kinds and brands of alcoholic 11 quor made available to purchas ers by state liquor stores.
