BANK FISHERS
CAUSE PLEADED
BY M'MAHAN
Anoearing once more In the role
of champion of the common people
Circuit Judge L. H. McMahan di
gressed slightly from the field of
his chosen profession before the
house committee on fishing at a
public hearing Wednesday evening,
and "dipped his oar" Into the Mc
Kenzle river ftsh. -.g corit'-v.-ersy re
volving around house bin 139, which
would close the river to boat lisn
ing above the Leaburg dam.
nA audience of 40 or more In
terestcd fishermen representing both
sides of the controversy had dis
cussed the proposed ban from vari
ous alleles when the common people
found a voice in Judge McMahan.
"I speak for the poor and lowly,"
said McMahan. "Tills issue Is a
fight between the wealthy who can
hire boats end the poor who can't.
I've fished the McKenzie for 50
years, and although I haven t cast
a fly there in the last few years I
know the fish arent there. In In
structing Juries we take the spec
lal interest of witnesses into con
sideration. Look at these self-in
terested men who have come here."
McMahan was referring directly
to the delegation of boat owners.
boat users and Portland sportsmen
who were protesting that the Mc
Kenzlc Is not a "bank fishing
stream." that owners of property
along the banks object to and seek
to prevent trespass by bank fish
ermen, and that sight-seeing and
rapids shooting from boats Is one
of the McKenzic's big attractions.
The committee Thursday after
noon voted to amend the provisions
of the bill so that boat fishing would
be prohibited in the McKenzie above
Blue Riber instead of Leaburg.

EINSTEIN TALKS'
ON DEFECTS OF
OUR ECONOMICS
Pasadena, Cal (IP) Prof. Albert
Einstein, noted Oerman scientist,
feels that the economic organiza
tion of America does not satisfy
necessities, and the present market
crisis Is positive proof of It, he de
clared In a statement prepared for
publication in "The New Leader," a
socialist weekly of New York.
The statement, was made to Up
ton Sinclair, writer of note and a
life-long socialist, In answer to ques
tlons put to him.
"What would you say Is the duty
of American workers In relation to
the growing peril of armament and
the war dangers?" was the first
Question.
"The United States of America,"
Prfo. Einstein said, "Is today the
most powerful state on earth. On
this account, the successful com
batant of militarism and the war
danger depends very essentially up
on the position taken by Its citizens
to these problems."
The second question was:
"Will you tell the American work
ers what you think about the spec
tacle of misery and starvation In a
land which has such enormous pow
ers of production as the United
States?" As you know v.e are able
"to produce more food than we
can market and we run our factories
on only a small percentage of their
capacity, ana yet millions o people
are In need of both food and other
primary necessities."
To this Prof. Einstein replied:
"The present market crisis is, ac
cording to my opinion, positive
proof that our economic organiza
tion, so far as one can speak of
such a thing, today does not satisfy
necessities. This assertion is not
to be taken as an Indictment, but
as a motive to seek to regulate the
economic life in such fashion that
the existence of men shall no long
er be threatened."
MEIER TO FOSTER
FLAX INDUSTRY
(Continued from page 1)
must be fostered and safeguarded.
There are some changes which
should be made, and I have some
plans In mind toward that end.
The governor agreed that most
of the apparent troubles of the In
dustry v.-ee due to the general de
pression which has effected all busi
ness and all lines of Industry.
That some reorganization and re
adjustment will come out of the agi
tation and the searching investiga
tions being conducted by the legis
lature, the governor and The board
of control is generally conceded to
be more than probable, and then
is even' indication that there will
be some changes In the personnel
or the staff directly charged with
the operation of the Industry at
the penitentiary.
But there is nothing authorative
to support tiie loose rumors float
ing about to the effect that the
state plant is to bo scrapped and
the farmers who have turned to the
cultivation of flax left to work oul
their own salvation.
Among those closely In touch
with the situation there Is a convic
tion that Governor Meier, to whom
has been popularly credited a de
sire to abolish the entire Industry.
has nothing of the kind In mind-
that his only Intention at this time
Is to determine what Is wrong and
devise a means of remedying the
industry s ailments and safeguard
ing the state against a recurrence.
The governor In connection with
the agitation is in a "tight rjosl
Hon." Admittedly uninformed on
the actual facts and circumstances
he has been forced In self defense
into an Investigation of loose
charges broadcast and carried dl
rectiy to him by Ignorant and mis-
lniormed critics, some of whom are
patently actuated by political and
retalitory motives. To the gover
nor's credit it Is reported by those
who have been tn close contact with
him throughout the entire agita
tion that he has kept an open
mind and, while now evidencing
signs of dissatisfaction with the
manner In which the industry has
been administered In some respects
has revealed no signs of being
stampeded into any rash and un
justified action.
Governor Meier Just now has- be
fore him for consideration, as have
the other members of the board of
control and members of the sub
committee of the ways and means
committee, the report of the audi
tor for the secretary of state and
a supplementary and preliminary
report of George Black & Co., spe
cial auditors employed by the gov
ernor. The attention of all is focused In
tently upon one recommendation
made by the Black company that
the state abandon the policy of buy
ing the flax outright and assuming
all of the risks of radical market
fluctuations which might come dur
ing the year or more in which the
product is in the court of process
ing, and substitute a policy of han
dling the flax on consignment, or
simply operate the plant to process
the flax for the growers at a stipu
lated price and then turn the fin
ished product back to the grower
or his maiketlng agency to be dis
posed of.
The Black proposal has met with
general condemnation from all
closely In touch with the Industry
who hare scanned It and would
mean ruination and destruction of
the Ir.dustry, it Is claimed.
Meeting with Governor Miler and
other members of the board of con
trol Wednesday afternoon, 20 grow
ers from the north end of the coun
ty declared that they could not con
tinue to produce flax on such a
basis; that they would be left with
out means of financing themselves,
and could not possibly market the
crop under the condition outlined.
There was a general agreement of
all who attended the conference that
the farmer is In the poorest posi
tion of anyone at tills time to as
sume added risks, and that with a
prerLlent policy of agricultural as
sistance being generally adopted by
both state and federal governmental
agencies the flax indutry Is entitled
to reasonable assistance at this tune.
"It Is a situation in which we
must give and take," Governor Mei
er said Thursday. Growers attend
ing the Wednesday conference had
Indicated a willingness to accept an
even greater reduction In their con
tract prices on 1931 crops than the
$10 base price reduction already
stipulated, If such a cut becomes
necessary.
Closer scrutiny of the loss suffer
ed by the state plant as revealed In
the audita Is disclosing that prac
tically two-thirds of the loss Is to
be attributed to reduced Inventory
values, and that of the remainder a
considerable amount Is reflected In
plant . replacement and improve
ments to the penitentiary equip
ment.
BAILEY PLEADS
CAUSE OF FREE
SCHOOL BOOKS
Objectors to the proposed free
text book law being considered by
the legislature were answered by
Senator Joe Bailey of Portland, In
speaking before the Lions club
Thursday, wno declared that he naa
been in favor of the system for a
number of years.
Children will take better care of
their books if they are owned by the
school districts because of the pen
alty Imposed for mutilation or care
lessness In their handling. Bailey
said. Danger of spread of disease Is
virtually non-existent, the speaker
satd because of the fact that the
textbooks are fumigated by the
school authorities whereas under the
present system they are never treat
ed in this fashion.
Taking up the tax situation Sen
ator Bailey said be did not believe
the legislature had much of a chance
to make a reduction hi taxes since
but a small percentage of the mon
ey paid in comes under the regula
tion of that bod)'.
Bailey spoke in favor of the In
tangibles tax measure, but objected
to making the bill retroactive, stal
ing that the state will benefit a
great deal more it the slate is wiped
clean and a new start Is made.
The six per cent tax limitation Is
one of the greatest handicaps and
curses with which the state Is af
flicted, in -the opinion of Senator
Bailey.
Following Bailey's talk the Lions
unanimously went on record as
favoring a resolution brought tn by
the club's educational committee
favoring the free textbook measure
with the provision that the funds
be derived from some source other
than the regular school budget.

inert, violinist, and Chester Mc

WEST QUESTIONS
ACT'S VALIDITY
Validity of the proposed common
user measure by which private utll
ltics would be compelled to grant
use of lines and systems to mu
nicipally owned utilities, was ques
tioned by Oswald West, former
Oregon governor, before the Joint
utilities committee meeting Thurs
day. The bill under discussion was In
troduced by Representatives John
H. Lewis. West contended that the
original code, which the new act
proposes to amend, provided recip
rocal user rights between private
companies, but the new act does
not provide that the municipalities
should go into a reciprocal agree
ment. It Is on this basis he believ
ed the measure would be unconstl
tution. 'Lewis argued the measure
was designed to provide Immediate
entrance of new municipally owned
companies leading to lowering of
rates and increase of industrial en
tcrnrtees. Senator J. E. Bennett advocated
consideration of his measure to pro
vide a means of forcing telephone
companies to enter cities and oper
ate under franchise. He declared
In manv cities, the telephone com
pauy has a monopoly and therefore
does not renew Its franchise with
the city after Its expiration. A
privilege tax of not less than five

STATE CONSENTS TO
CHANGE OF VENUE
(Continued from page 1)
stance that denial ot the change
might be used as grounds for appeal
if a conviction were obtained In
M;rltnomah county.
Tlie state Is said to be not agree
able to holding the trial west of
the Cascade mountains.
On the other hand the defense Is
.nald to bo entirely agreeable to
holding the trial In a nearby coun
ty. It was rumored strongly that the
case misht be heard belore Judge
O. H. Hagley at HUlsboro but the
state objected to holding It within
15 miles of Portland.
Dl-strlct Attorney Langley admit
ted that In their petition for a
change ot venue the defense at
torneys had made a remarkable
showing and that It would be use
less to oppose the move to anotner
district.
Prom the fact that Jie state ob
jected to holding the trial In "near
by Willamette valley counties," It
was believed they would favor Th.
Dalles, Pendleton, or LaGrande.
POLITICS DENIED
BY RED X HEAD
No thoughtful member or friend
or the Red Cross will be deceived
by the charge made tn the senate
that In refusing to administer a
$25,000,000 general relief fund pro
posed to be voted by congress, th.
Red Cross Is playing politics, accord
ing to a statement released Thurs
day by John Barton Payne, nation
al executive chairman of tlie Am
erican Red Cross, but on the con
trary the Red Cross has, after the
most careful consideration, determ
ined that tho welfare of the Red
Cross and those It Is now helping
and will help In the future requires
that It continue its historic volun
tary role and refuse to be drawn
Into politics.
At a meeting Tuesday, January
37, the Red Cross central committee
unanimously voted that the Red
Cross is In a position adequately to
complete the task It has undertaken
In the drought stricken areas and
that It assumes the responsibility
of completing the task without pub
llo appropriation from funds for
general relief purposes as provided
for under the terms of the bill which
has passed the senate and la now
pending In the house of represen
tatives. The assumption by the American
Red Cross of this responsibility will
require the continued and active
support of the public, and an ap
petl has been Issued to the local
Red Cross chapters to emphasis,
the need of voluntary contribution
by the general public to the drouth
relief fund. Contributions are being
received at the local Red Cross
headquarters In the Plrst National
bank building. Miss Thora Boesen
Is In charge.
