SALKM, Jim. 27. 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.

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.

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.

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
