net fishermen ns tho suspension
Image across the Willnmctlo river
below the falls nt Oregon City, the
wuato by a vote of 27 to 3 passed
II. 11. No. 18, by Representative John
Gill. Tho fight for and against the
bill was tho hardest seen ou the floor
of. the senate at this session, nnd tho
result marks a triumph for the
fiportBincn, who linvo for years main
tained that, allowing net men to drag
tho rest holes below tho fall, would
ultimately cause tho depletion of sal
mon, because not enough would get
up tho river to givo tho hatcheries
sufficient spawn for restocking tho
streams.
Dead Lino at Bridge
Tho passage of this bill is tho
hardest blow that tho Schucbcl-JoncH-Childs
trio, who have persistently
fought everything nt this session de
sired by sportsmen's organizations,
havo yet received, Had it not been
for tho valiant struggle of Dimick,
who was almost exhausted by his or
atorical efforts, it is likely that the
bill would have passed tho sennt in
tho jdwpo in which it did tho house,
fixing the "dead lino" for net men at
the mouth of tho Clackamas river,
nnd cutting the commercial fishermen
out of tho Ahcroathy drift, where
they catch tons of ffch nt the open
ing of the season.
Tho debate was marked by bitter
personal attacks by Dimick on State
Game Warden Finloy, Master Fish
Warden Clnnton nnd Walter P.
Backus, n prominent member of the
Multnomah Anglers' club. Dimick
also nindu soiso sarcastic references
to Iteprescntntive Gill and impugned
the motives of Scnntor Srocr, the
champion of tho measure in tho sen
nto debate.
Pitiful ricluro Drawn
Dimick drew a pitiful word picture
of the Oregon City net men, declaring
them to bo "good citizens, hard-working
and law-abiding, on whom fam
ilies depend for support." Pour yearn
ngo Hcprosenlntivo Schuebel dc
nouueed tho same men before n legis
lative committeo as "n bunch of bums
and roughnecks who deserve no con
sldcmtion whatever because they are
law-breakers, H, every one of whom,
as prosecutor, 1 have hud to fine or
put in jail lima nnd again."
T N n rocent snooeh President A. 1j. !Mi11h of iho "tfivst Na
-l tional bank of Port land made tho assort ion that tho
iniiiativo and reforoiuhun wort dantorotls and that, capi
talists generally wore afraid of it, and that its adoption had
retarded tho development of the state.
As a matter of faet, the initiative has never injured si
legitimate proposition and is not half as danserotts as tho
legislature. A record of tlio measures submitted to tho
people and those adopted show that the people vote more
intelligently than the legislature.

nineteen states, the recall in eight states, while over ,'150
cities have incorporated them 111 their charters. Ulti
mately they will become universal, and probably national.
While there has been a tendency to abuse tho now pro
cesses bv over-use, there can be no question of their bene
ficial effect.
The opposition to these people's laws centers in the
beneficiaries of privilege, who demand' special legislation
that will provide them unfair advantages. No one that
fears "the light of day, who asks only a Square deal, fears
the judgment of the people and direct legislation has come
to stay a recognized necessity resulting from the break
down of representative government.
The legislature at Salem is passing upon from S00 to
900 measures in tho forty days of its session. It is now
the thirty-eigjith day of the session and none of the needed
appropriation bills have come out of the committees. They
arc being held back, as customary, to force the passage of
special legislation.
Wlnlc the legislature is making a great hullabaloo
about economy, it is opening wide the door to the theft
of the public domain irrantimr In" business all the special
favors it asks, filching from the public for the benefit of
monopoly. Jjills have passed permitting power concerns
to grab all the available water power, even permitting con
demnation of federal holdings. Other bills turn the streams
over to logging concerns, others arc in the interests of
liability insurance concerns and so the list can bo ex
tended. Economv is a useful excuse for blocking development

As soon as every session opens, "cinch" bills and revis
ion measures aro introduced that cause a scurrying to tho
capital from all parts of the state of interested citizens
whose industries are struck at, and of disinterested citi
zens who come from public-spirited motives. Every great
corporation and every statewide organization is repre
sented by a permanent lobby and the small ones by tem
porary lobbies for their own protection and to ward off
attacks upon investments when not seeking extension of
privileges.
Capital is threatened vastly more by every legislative
session of which a certain percentage of crooks are always
to bo found, bent on reaping a personal harvest, than by
any initiative measure, which must stand on its merits in
the pitiless glare of publicity in a statewide campaign
lasting thrice as long as a legislative session.
Direct legislation menaces no legitimate investment,
for the people believe in a square deal, but every session ol
the legislature menaces not only capital but the rights ot
the people. That is why direct legislation is growing in
popularity while legislatures are becoming more unpopu
lar with every session.
