A Needed Power
Probably the most important Game measure before the
legislature is H. B. 108, which authorizes the game commis
sion to establish closed seasons in emergencies. The bill
passed the house some weeks ago but is being held up in the
uenate committee for some unknown reason.
To determine when the supply of any species of game
fish or animals will be injuriously affected by taking, the
game commission is authorized by the bill to hold public
meetings, by giving notice of the meetings in newspapers
published in at least five counties in the district affected and
require the attendance of witnesses by subpoena to take
tc "moiiy, and if the evidence justifies, to establish a closed
season for protection to take effect 15 clays after notice by
publication. Defects in a similar law held invalid by the
mpreme court are corrected by this bill.
Without the power conferred by this measure, the com
mission is powerless to act in emergencies that frequently
arise, and the extermination of fish or game in certain local
ities will merrily proceed. In order to effectively function
for the preservation of game, the bill should be passed.
Our game laws are ridiculous in many ways. The trout
sc opens in the midst of the spawning season. The
only trout given any protection are those too small to spawn.
The open seasons are too lortg and the bags too big. This
bill will act, if wisely enforced, to some degree as a corrective
measure.
Its Ideal Achieved
'Soak the taxpayer who can't hide his property that's
the idea. 'Soak him. Soak the limber owners. Soak the farm
er; soak the home-owner they can't hide their land and
buildings. Soak 'em. Soak everything in sight" exclaims
3iir uplift contemporary the Portland Journal referring to
the proposed bill submitting a referendum against any more
income tax legislation for 15 years. The Journal will never
recover from the blow dealt by the dear people in repealing
the income tax bill.
Yet the present system of placing the burden of taxation
upon realty property is merely currying out, tne policy so
Consistently Advocated for many years by the Journal in its
effort to establish the single tax to abolish all taxes save
those upon land.
Although the people rejected repeatedly the single tax
idea of the Journal by defeating numerous referendums, the
J "rnal has lived to see a modified form of single tax in
effect that soaks the farmer. It is therefore championing
a tax upon industry and thrift, both opposed to single tax
fundamentals.
The Journal should smile instead of rage, at the success of
its single tux propaganda, for it has unwittingly achieved its
purpose of soaking the land owners.

THE brUANoK CITY
I bsd teen rery busy for some
montns finishing my frieze and I
aid not realise until that moment
when I dr.jp i d the telephone re
ceiver into the book tliat I had
ben seeing Rod very little, and
that his absence had been growing
more freiuent, (Ulck Btarmount
lead in Kithlyn Evans' manu
script ).
liccause I h:id been scon out only
with Rod In tLe months that hud
parsed since my wedding, my for
mer admirers had let m quite
alone.
1 tuld myrilf ruefully that In one
way I had not lived up to my Idea
of independence. I had been o
much in love with Rod that I did
not care for the sdmirutiou or at
tention of any other man.
'Why I've been living jut like
all other married women. I said
to mjrielf any my heart grew a lit
tle cold as I thought th.tt I had
given Rod & chance to get tired
of me. I determined however, to
rhun3e that situation immediate
ly. It was almost a strange elty
which confronted me when Ver
non and Lucille took me Into the
Koiproous new cafe that was cele
brating its opuning on that eve
ning. We had gene o a revue which
I hai not seen before. Vernon and
Lucille seemed much surprised, as
it had been opened a veek and
they said they thought lint Rod
nnd I went to all Hie ' first ni;hu"
'1 hey looked ratl.er ati'angeiy when
I said that Rod had been very bu.sy
rutting on his new play but the
Klance between them was so evan
escent that I concluded I had boon
mistaken.
A table had been reserved for us
noticed it was set for four but
I thought nothing about it. I was
too much Interfiled in the crowd
pushing through the doors.
Many people bowed lo me that I
had not seen (or months and I
realised that I was enjoying my
self almost us much without Rod
as I did with him.
'Oh, there Is fc'.ton Fees. You
know him don't you, Kathtyn?
Vernon Stedinaa remarked.
"Yea, I know Mr. Kiiss," I re
turned as the man made his way
quickly to our table and after
speaking tc all of us In turn said
"Who Is this chair for?"
"No one," answered Vernon.
"That's lucky for me if you'll
let me Join you. I'm alone."
Klton Kgs3 locked directly at me
as he spoke. X bowed my head.
as the waiter p'.i't-d out tne chair.
Mr. Fotss told rue some montns
later that the nhole thing had
been arranged by him and Vernon
but at the time 1 f.ad not the slight
ert suspicion that it was not a
casual meeting.
Kltan Kosi had huidly seated

I thought. We niut go out more.
I could not remember when we
had danced together.
At that time I did not realize
that Rod had btcn "stepping out."
I thauKlU lie was, like myself, very
busy and after ihe interlude of en
forced s?naration we would conic
together again. ,
As my partner anu myself re
turned to our seal 3. we found an
xnui-sitely decorated table set for
two that I had notio.vj next us.

Vernon Stodman and his wife
cam? to the table at the same lime 1
that Jlr. k'Qm and I dirt and Lucillo
whlyperedt "There Hod acd ftada

I've eeen them together tn the lust
two weeks and the table is alwayi
decorated as though for a bride.
Of course I know she had that of
fer from the Follies but they say
Rod 'doubled the ante.' So why all
the other kowtomlnc?"
"What a thing," 1 answered as
composedly aa I could. "I knew
only that Jdiss Fillmore was had

(ther plays had been engaged for
this one. tfhe Is a very beautiful
girl, isn't she?"
"No, I dn't think so." safd El
ton Fom. "But X will say that she
has a way with her."
At tht: moment Rod, trying U
signal his waiter, caught my eye

pd.
"Good evening Rod,' I said calm
ly.
The gl'l with him turned and
Lowed.
Outwar-lly I knew that I showed
non-a of the epilation that wai
making my he-art beat faster.
8a this was where my husband
had been sending his evening!
lately.
I devot.'d myself to my purine i
and d;mced and flirted as I nevci
