In controversy such as that which springs perenially from the question of commercial fishing in the Rogue river, there is no lack of regional opinion for and against, some of which is selfish, some of which is well considered and some hasty and intemperate. The difficulty of the average voter, who consults these opposing views, each expressing it self as authorative, will be to deter mine between them and to decide, perhaps on election day, whether he will vote for or against the closing of the Rogue. Let us hear the testi- mony of someone whose qualifica- tions are beyond dispute, and who cannot possibly be accused of selfish partisanship. Henry O'Malley is United States commissioner of fisheries. He is an authority of International reputa tion. and it may with truth be said of him that no other man is so fa- miliar with our fisheries and their problems, with the picture as a whole rather than as in fragments. He is a conservationist in the broad er sense, looking toward the preser vation of a great natural resource that It may yield revenues and rec reation far into the future. In a re cent letter to Matt Ryckman, super- intendent of hatcheries, Oregon state game commission, Mr. O'Malley touched upon the Rogue river prob lem in these words: “I strongly feel that the Rogue river, as well as the other salmon rivers in Oregon, should be closed to commercial fishing if it is hoped to maintain the rivers in anywhere near their original productivity. These rivers are not unlike the riv ers of Alaska, and we do not permit any fishing in any of our rivers in the north. In fact, some of them are closed a mile or more outside their mouths. I believe that the fish in the rivers should be left there to reproduce their species. This would give the steelhead trout, which is largely a game fish, an opportunity to perpetuate itself and furnish sport and food for the people of Oregon and the thousands of tourists who are now seeking the great out-of- doors. These tourists will prove to be one of the valuable assets of the state of Oregon.

This Bank Represents the Future to Many! • • FIRST NATIONAL BANK Mrs. Edith M. Fraker, Independent candidate for the office of superintendent of schools, is clerk of School Dis trict No. 26, a small district in the northwest section of this county, her husband, L. P. Fraker, Jesse Goff and Rush Higginbottoin, are the directors,—the latter being chair man of the board. Mrs. Fraker, now campaigning on an economy program and criticising the present superintendent, J. A. Yeager, for his expenditures, should have first seen that her house was in order. The school law provides that the school clerk may re ceive as salary $50.00 per year for that service. With the exception of a very few clerks in the county, all are con fining their salary to a minimum of $25.00 a year. Mrs. Fraker, however, is accepting the maximum salary. At the beginning of the school year, Ross Shaw, a World War veteran and member of the American Legion, with a family of five children, was employed as the driver of the school bus at a salary of $100.00 per month. He me was given five weeks of employment then his job ended. In his stead, Lloyd Fraker, son of Mrs. Edith Fraker, was given the position. The driving of this bus constitutes a six-mile journey five days each week. "By their deeds. Ye shall know them," fittingly applies to I. M.

In 1920, the millage rate of levy for state and county purposes was 15.5 mills. The valuation aggregated »58,006,629.39. Last year the valuation, due to the condition of the times, had slumped to »53,179,689.16 and the millage levy was but 7 mills, a reduction In the valuation for tax levying purposes of »4,826,940.23, and the millage rate under that of 1929 of 8.5 mills. This millage rate, according to information from the state treasu rer, is the lowest In Oregon, with the exception of probably two of the very small counties of the state. The reduction in taxes made last year shows about one-third under that of 1932. Umatilla county is conceded to have the most comprehensive road system In the Northwest, according to a statement made recently by R. H. Bal dock, Oregon state highway engineer. This road system has practically all been constructed during Judge Schannep's administration. During his tenure of office there has been constructed 250 miles of hard surfaced roads, serving every city and village in the county; also about 250 miles of state highways in which the county co-operated. There has also been constructed innumerable bridges, many of them of concrete and steel, among these being Stanfield, Echo! Nolin, Thorn Hollow, Demaria bridge on the Walla Walla river, as well as bridges on state highways in which the county co-operated, namely, McKay creek. Pilot Rock bridge across Birch creek, Butter creek bridge on the Heppner highway, and two large steel and concrete bridges on the Pendleton John Day highway acroes Ca mas creek and the North Fork of the John Day river, besides hundreds of other smaller bridges serving every section of the county. During the past two years disastrous floods have devastated roads and bridges, which have been reconstructed at large expense, and nil of which were paid from the regular budget. As County Judge, he has had the administration of all matters of pro bate as well as all juvenile offenders to deal with, and in this respect he has proved himself an honeset and efficient judge.

He has had 30 years experience as a lawyer, practiced in the courts of eoeeeeeeeeeeeeeeooeoeeee Missouri. California, and for the past 17 years in Oregon. That he will make good tn the office he is seeking there is no doubt, it the foregoing enviable record means anything.

His record of achievement in his present capacity Is a guarantee of eco nomical administration, rigid law enforcement, with fair and impartial justice to every citizen of the Sixth Judicial District.
