But not as ridiculous as it sounds, Mrs. Housewife!
Remember back in the ’30’s when you could feed your family well for about
$35.00 a month? If someone had said then that in 1948 you could only
feed your family skimpily at $90.00 a m onth you would have exclaimed
“ R idiculous!” But your food costs are flying high.

The facts show—as reported by the Oregon
Fish Commission, Ju n e, 1948, that all that hap
pens when you ban fixed gear is that more fish
are caught by gillnets.
So, this bill to eliminate fixed gear is not
conservation of salmon, but absolute control of
the salmon catch. You housewives have had
experience with such monopolies. You know
what happens to your household expenses!
Usually you have had to fight A F T E R these
conditions exist. Now you can fight B E F O R E
it is formed. I t will be much easier to prevent
this “closed shop on the Columbia” by voting
319-X NO.
