' 1 : Fish and Who Provide Them 3 When Charlie Stanton, editor of the Roseburg News-Review, read that . the Columbia River .Packers association made over a million dollars in 1947 ($3.37 per share) he really blew a fuse. Evidently addressing sports fishermen, whose protagonist he is, he wrote: - f ' .-?K - : . , ; - "- Stockholders in the CRPA were paid $3J7 per share. Did you set yours? You paid for a lot of those fish that went into CRPA-cans. Many thousands of tax dollars went into the salmon . apd steelhead hatcheries operated by the State Fish Commission. -More dollars collected in license fees from sports anglers also , helped hatch steelheads which went into cans. The CRPA paid the State of Oregon a ; modest poundage fee to help support the " hatchery program, but the state's general fund was a. most generous contributor. Many tons of the net-caught fish that made up the CRPA's million-and-a-quarter-dollar profit were YOUR fish. YOU paid for them. i - How much longer will Oregonians tolerate this commercial fishing farce? Any other industry profiting from a natural re source pays for its raw materials. But the fishing Industry not only gets its materials free of charge but actually draws from public funds to subsidize a hatchery program from which the - packers profit. We fear that Editor Stanton's view is circumscribed by the eye of his fishhook. In the first place CRPA didn't make all that money off salmon and steelhead caught in coastal streams or offshore. Its tuna pack may be the big end of its business now; and if our memory is right it packed salmon in Alaska in 1947. Then poundage fees are not a trivial item. They; are figured at $250,000 for this biennium. As far as the commercial catch of fish spawned at sportsmen expense is concerned it is quite prob able that more salmon spawned in hatcheries maintained by the state fish commission are caught by sports fishermen than the ether way round. The Astoria salmon derby, the spring catch below the falls at Oregon City are "subsidized" by the commer cial fishing interests. It is true that the state appropriates around $750,000 to the state fish commission for fish propagation, etc. It likewise ap propriates about the same amount for agricultural experimen tation and over a million dollars for the state forestry program. Appropriating from the general fund for the fish commission be gan several years sgo when the fish commission was in dire straits. Its revenues were wholly inadequate to meet the pressing needs for research, conservation and propagation. The state could either let the industry die or make an attempt, supported with funds, to sustain it. The latter decision was made; and we believe tit was a wise one. This paper believes the state has a stake in helping the commercial fishing industry, both for its economic value as an industry and for the food which the industry provides. The vast majority of people who eat salmon get it from the commercial fishermen. They do not catch salmon themselves. They have an interest in this business as well as the sports fishermen. This last point answers the argument of the News-Review editor that "salmon and steelhead are many times more valuable as sports fish than as a commercial product.' It is not just tourist dollars but food which is involved. Only through the commercial channels will the masses of the people get salmon to eat. The Statesman has gone along with sports fishermen in their programs for conservation, for restriction or abolishment of com mercial fishing in the lesser coastal streams. But it likewise is a firm friend of the commercial fishing Industry and does not want it put out of business by sports partisans, by over-zealous dam- builders. And we can remember the days when CRPA was bankrupt. Lifting of D oriln Soljo Forecast By Obcorvcro 1 Br Joseph and Stewart Alsep i WASHINGTON; Aug. 10 I Through the Impenetrable cur tain of secrecy which surrounds . as it shouldi h A! surround J the J current Conver- sations In Mo-, cow, two facts s emerge. ?

If enough of them boycott goods with high price marks, prices will come down. The test is one of endurance. Can their determination to reduce their buying of meats for example hold out until results are apparent? I " P As a rule these popular reactions taper off In a little while and are forgotten. In this case the pressure of prices on purses may Soave a prolonged effect, even if the advertised agitation dies. It is when the money isn't at hand that boycotts really work. Given full employment as good wages and the demand persists. Let employment slacken and wage envelopes get lighter and the ffect is quickly felt in the marts of trade ' f In the end. it is the consumer that fixes the prices in an open market. He has the final decision to take it or leave it. When Mrs. America starts leaving it then the signal Is flashed back quickly through retailer to wholesaler to manufacturer to pro ducer and the market moves to adjust itself to the consumer re action.

Teiroinal Leave Bonds Available Now to Relatives Veterans who have not applied for terminal leave bonds for un used leave during active service as jmlisted men in World, war II have only until September 1 to do so, the Oregon department of veterans affairs reminded Tuesday. Department officials said an im portant amendment passed by congress makes it possible for bro thers, sisters, nephews and nieces who survive a deceased veteran to receive payment for his unused leave.

Just what is our national policy to ward the communists as Indi viduals and as seems inconsistent. Perhaps It must be inconsis tent. No government will tole rate treason, spying, disloyalty; but bur constitution: guarantees political freedom. How can we reconcile the two with special reference to the communists?

Frank Hickman, 1100 Chemeketa st, reported a metal tool box and mechanic's tools pilfered from his car parked at that address. A pair of glasses and a pair of pigskin gloves were taken, and an attempt was made to remove fen der skirts, from the car of Abie Steinbacb, 2240 Breyman st, park ed In the 1100 block of North Church street. Raymond A. WIthey, 864 N. 18th st, said' a wind wing was broken on his car in someone's attempt to break in, while it was parked in the 200 block of South Church street. The U. 8. 99 Highway associa tion met in Eugene Monday to dis cuss plans for making the Willam ette Valley a widely advertised tourist attraction and to establish a Eugene unit of the organization. Salem representatives attending the session were Clay Cochran, manager of the Salem Chamber of Commerce; Cart Hogg, president or tne association; A. A. Larsen. chairman of the Salem unit, and Marion County Judge Grant Mur phy. 2 ' Principal business discussed in the meeting was a ampafn to raise money to advertise the tour ist attractions along the highway, especially in Oregon, and a move to bring about improvement of the highway In southern Oregon. Cochran said the group voted to raise about $20,000 to publicize the highway route as a number one tourist area. He told members that Victoria, B. C, business men raised a similar amount several years ago and received $2,000,000 of tourist money; in return the fol lowing year. Cochran said the campaign will be started this fall and continue through the winter in prepara tion for next summer's tourist bus iness. Because of fires Americans lost enough work time durina l84stA make 920,000 autos.
