Among those who arrived today to fight the pro posed change in jjnmo nnd fish lnws is J. W. Dennett of Coos Nay, presi dent of a couulc of banks, u trust company, nnd ono of the foremost citizens of Coos county. He says: Protection Kfficlcnt. "Under the present law the protec tion has been most efficient in my part of tho state," ho declared. "State Game Warden Finley nnd R. K. Clanton. master fi-di warden, arc efficient, und 1 believe it would be ex tremely unfair to take this money which the anglers nnd hunters have contributed nnd put it in tho general fund where it would be difficult to get it back again. "This money belongs to the anglers nnd hunters, this is, tho amount con- tributed last year by them, which was $lir,0QO, also the hatchery fund in district No. 1, the receipts of which in 1014 were $.7201.8-1, nnd in dis trict No. 2, the reecints of which wcro $11 880.20. "J)urir tho two '-cars which the law linn been in force it has done more to -rotcct nnd nronmrnlo the trnmc and fish in the waters of the Mate than any law which was ever enacted and I don't see the wisdom of putt ting ibis moncv into the general fund where it vould bo used for other nur )K)ses nnd might not be there when it was needed. No Appropriation Asked. "The fishermen and hunters aren't asking for nny appropriation. They hitnply put this money ui themselves and thov don't wnnt it mingled with nnv other fund and nro very much opposed to tho present law being in terfered with. And us tho ones who contributed the immc" arc satisfied, why should tho law makers under take to nut it to an' other use, edoec 5011" when such good work has been done under tho present lawT "Tho present law is mannged under a commission and these commission er nro nid not to eceed .flQO u venr, nnd the live commissioners have nev er cost the state over $1500 a venr and all five, except one, are those who nre interested in the protection hud propagation of the i'i-.)i and (ramo and know far better tliau a leg Wat -ire what is to tho best interests for thu protection and -ropagation of Uh mid L'aino in this state." ALARO 13 percentage of the members of tho legislature are lawyers therefore a largo percentage of the leg islation enacted is for the benefit of the legal profusion to make our courts more complicated and justice more dif ficult to obtain. The last session increased the pay and the number of circuit judges to one for each county, ten new judges, but the measure was vetoed. Another bill created a probate court and abolished county courts. It also was defeated. The bill adding two supreme justices became a law. The benefit to the general public of this lawyers' ad ministration of legislatures, is shown by the fact that in twenty veal's the population of Oregon increased 100 per cent and the cost of courts 250 per cent. In line with this typical instance of legislative economv is the bill intro duced by President of the Senate Thompson to abolish the county courts, and create eight new circuit judges at $4000 a year each, and provide two circuit court of ap peals, composed ot circuit judges designated from time to time by the chief justice. The emergency clause has been attached to escape referendum, thus depriving the people of a constitutional right in order to create judges and liti gation. The county court is the last remaining people's court, where any person may appear unrepresented by an attor ney, and where the machinery of the law is so simplified that justice doesn't require a maize of red tape for admin istration. It is naturally easy to figure why tho lawyers seek its abolition. The creation of a court of appeals merely lengthens lit igation and increases its costliness. It renders two appeals necessarv to secure final adjudication. Instead of simpli fying, it complicates litigation, to the profit of the law yers, the mulcting ot the litigants and the taxpayers who maintain the courts. "While a revision of judicial proceoduro is probably de sirable in Oregon, with a view to simplifying the adminis tration of justice, such revision to be beneficial should be thoroughly worked out along seientifiedincs by a commis sion appointed for the purpose, and not a snap-shot, hurry up, emergency effort to raid the state treasury for political spoilsmen and increase further cost of litigation and pub lic dissatisfaction with our courts. A bill for such a judicial revision commission would be far better for the legislature to pass than any such treas ury grab bill as that being now considered. "Putting the Pope in the Movies" In tho February American Mnga xlno Cleveland Mnffctt writes tho story of tho ronmrknlilo adventures of a young Ainorlrnn who persuaded tho I'opo to appear In motion pictures. Tho title of tho article Is "Doing tho Impossible," nml the man who ac complished this piece of work Is .In in 03 Sluvlu, who spent IS mouths at tho task. To accomplish his pur- pore, ha learned Italian, showed tho l'ope all sorts of flltus even made special motion pictures of tho King of Knglnnd to use as nil argument and finally succeeded tit removing overy objection. Ono mnn, a good Catholic, who tried to got moving pictures of tho Pope, was excom municated for his oVor xeal. Another spent $1 50,000 at the task, and failed. Mr. Slovlu succeeded because ho was tactful, ingenious and persistent al most beyond comprehension. As n result of his efforts, I'opo l'lux X posed far tho pictures, and 210,000, 000 Cntholtcs and others can seo him In tho movies. "Finally, one day in thu early sum- HIGH SCHOOL FIVES LEAVE ON TRIP TODAY SPORTSMEN AND TIN-HORNS.

REPRESENTATIVE SCIIUEBEL of Oregon City, father of the bill to transfer the game and anglers' li cense money to the general fund and kill the game com mission, declared in the House of Representatives that "four-fifths of the so-called sportsmen arc tin-horns." xs mere arc iu(,ihju license owners ni mo state, tnc as sertion is a pretty broad one, but it serves as an index to the diameter of the man making it, and also to the charac ter of the opposition to the game commission. Mr. Schuebel cited the instance of a hunter in southern Oregon who killed two female deer as proof of his asser tion. As a matter of fact, this lawless and law-dcfyjng clement are not sportsmen, arc not affiliated with sports men's organiaztions, and it is directly in their interest that Mr. Schuchei is working to destroy efficient game pro tection and propagation, and .enable the poachers to roam unmolested. The sportsmen's organizations stand for the highest standard of efficiency in protection and propagation, that our forests and'streams may be abundantly stocked with game and fish. The object of thejr participation in the legislative work is to the end that future legislation and the administration of the game department shall be directed toward the im provement and perpetuation of the hunting and fishing re sources of the state, both by rigidly enforced game and fish protection, and by propagation and distribution of game and fish. The sportsmen seek, by campaign of education, to in culcate in the public mind the sense of fair play for wild life that brings to the angler and hunter a sense of honor that places him above law violation. The pot-hunter, the market hunter, the game hog, the poacher, are not sportsmen, but tin-horns and your true sportsman realizes more pleasure from a small bag or creel which has tested his skill to secure, than from a hundred fold greater returns requiring neither science nor skill to bag. The high school basket ball teams left this morning on n tour of north ern California and Klamath county. Games havo been scheduel with Klam ath Kails, Merrill, Yreka and Fort Jones. They will roturn to Mcdford Sunday. Coach Mooro has been put ting the teams through some strenu ous work during tho past fortnight and overy member ot tho squad is playing In good form.

Miss Mcars, domestic science Instructor, will chaperon tho girls. Manager Hubbard will bo unablo to make tho trip owing to tho impossibility ot re turning In time to attend to his duties as president of tho student body. Two Splendid Editions. (Klamath Herald.) The New York edition of the Mcd ford Mail Tribune, and the mineral hprinpt edition of the A-liland Tid ings, just off the prefH, nro two of the greatest special editions ever pub lished in Southern Oregon, lloth are teeming with information regarding their communities, and are well illus trated with cuts of local scenes and leions. Such publications are valuable in attracting the home-ceker and in vestor, us they cover comprehensively every line of effort, and show up the country from the vil-wpoints of the farmer, the touri-d, the stock man, the sportsman and the bushier..- man. Southern Oregon newspapers arc not ed all over tho state for porVntcntlv working for the development jf thN section I !().' days in the year, hut such ihiion as the Tidings and the Mail Tribune lia'c printed cannot help hut impress even the home folks. A Good Itciolutlon. To help build up Medford payrolls by smoking Governor Johnson or Mt, Dltt cigars. mer ot lilt I thu American called upon Cardinal Morry del Vu and an nounced his depurturo for Amorlcu. And ho begged tho cardinal to accept a little souvenir which ho desired to offer to Ills Holiness. " 'Thoro Is no need jjf n souvenir,' said the cardinal, 'you will be pleas antly remembered hero.' "Tho American Insisted, how cor, that ho wished to spare Ills llollnoss future nnnoyanco In connection with motion picture exhibitions, and hud collected from various motion picture companies In Amotion n largo number of tho best films that he could find, on nil suitable subjects. These films (they 'wero worth thousands of dol lars) he was presenting to thu Vati can with gratitude for kindnesses and honors, together with a ery flue pro jecting apparatus. The l'ope could now have his own motion picture en tertainment. "A few days later a note came say ing that If Mr, Slovlu would present himself at a certain door of tho Vati can at a certain hour with his motion picture apparatus It was possible there would bo developments of a nature that would much Interest him. "Tho developments wcro that be was allowed to take n motion picture of Plus X in an Imposing ceremony. And on subsequent occasions ho was given similar opportunities to take other scenes In the Vatican, other motion pictures ot Ills Holiness In other ceremonies, nnd to tnko motion pictures In St. Peter's nnd In tho Sis tlno Chapel, motion pictures uf the Popo addressing vast audiences from tho balcony of tho Vatican, motion pictures ot cardinals, .archbishops, royal chalr-bcarers, macc-bearers, trumpeters, chamberlains ot tbo Sword and Cape, alto the famous Swiss Guard, the Palatine Guard, and the Noble Guard, marchlug and drill ing In the papal court. In Bhort, he was allowed to get the pictures that ho bad come to Home to get nnd that no ono else had been able to get." STARIhejitre SIGN UP ONLY THE BEST. THOSE farmers and land owners who are offering their poorest land for sugar beet culture, aro not playing fair with either the committee or the factory promoters. Land to grow sugar beets without irrigation must be of the best, in order to assure a profitable return. Signing ui) unlit land handicaps the efforts all around. Ijt wastes the committee's time, and the time of the soil ex pert. It leads to the conclusion that sufficient acreage has been secured, when it has not and involves a great deal of useless and needless waste of time. The sugar factory, involving nearly three-quarters of a million dollars capital, will not be located here unless the acreage necessary to secure a profitable operation is so cured. It would be a foolish investment to sink such a sum of money and then have it left idle. Unless the land owners wake up and show public-spirit and patriotism enough to grasp this opportunity the greatest yet offered the valley it will bo lost and the Rogue river valley continue to mark time or slide back wards and tho chance to raise a crop profitable equally to the farmer and tho community, be lost. Sign up your beet land and do it now or you will lose the opportunity to ne't from $fl0 to $f0 an acre where you're not averaging $10 now, , m J PAPES DIAPEPSIN NDIGESTION OR BAD STOMACH Sour, gassy, upset stomach, Indi gestion, heartburn, dyspepsia; when tho food you eat ferments Into gases and stubborn lumps; your head aches and you feel sick nnd miserable that's when you reallzo tho magic In Papo's Dlapnpsln.
