This fund is administered under a stoto commission. The recent legislature, in fulfillment of its policy of making all state offices political spoils, destroyed the old non-partisan commission and replaced it by a new com mission to be named by tho governor, of which tho gov ernor is a member. Outsido of the provision that two of tho members must come from cast of the Cascade moun tains, there aits no restrictions upon the governor. The governor has selected for 11101111)01-8 a Pendleton politician, over tho protest of tho hunters and anglers of eastern Oregon, one member of tho old commission from Klamath Falls and two residents of Portland, one a salmon packer and the other a jobber. Outsido of the unfair geo graphical distribution, tho personnel of the commission sh6uld inakc it a good one. At its first meeting, the commission elected "W. L. Fin ley of Portland state biologist.vR. J3. Olanton of Portland state fish Vwmlen, both merited appointments, and at. the request of the governor, A. 1L Lea of Portland state gamo warden, whose qualification consists in bcinir a per sonal friend of tho governor. Southwestern Oregon, furn ishing a quarter of the gamo fund, was entirely ignored and has no representation 111 tish and game administration. The fact that this district was entitled to representa tion was admitted by tho indorsement of a qualified Mcd ford candidate by the State League of Sportsmen's Clubs, comprised of somo ninety organizations, represent iny cvcry county jn the state, as well as numerous personal in dorsements, hut t is evidently the intention of the gover nor to deny those who provide the money for the game-fund and whose activity alone preserved the fund for protection and propdgation purposes, a voice in its administration. Portland gets two game commissioners and the three salaried executives. Southwestern Oregon gets nothing. It is apparent' that Governor "Withycombc not only refuses to recognize tho just demands of tlie sportsmen, but is un fairly' discriminating against southwestern Oregon, a reg ion that iumishes most of the real hunting and angling in the state. ' 1 SCENE FROM "DAYS OF FAMINE, PAGE, MONDAY AND TUESDAY I , . . ... ... ,... rtv?.tei INDUSTRIAL UNREST THE answers to the Mail Tribune's editorial calling at tention to economic and industrial conditions arc amusing, as they do not touch the roots of the subject. The causes of industrial unrest go back for half a cen tury. JThis unrest is due to the increase of poverty with the increase of wealth. The process of creating the billion aire necessarily creates the pauper, and the pauperization of the people produces the unrest and stamps the present system a failure. The .effect of neglect of tho masses and the fostering of the classes is shown in Great Britain, where the national vitalit'is 'ebbhig. It was shown in France before the rcYolutiou A few..dccades.morcLaud similar effects will be seen STtlfo TJintedJ3tatcs arp already in evidence, iiiJScw TTngland andlhe east,"which are rapidly becoming decadent. The bread line has been an established institution in New York and other eastern centers for a quarter century. xcspue up expansion 01 muustry, opportunity lias stead ily nairbwed. It is a fundamental wrong that has to bo righted, and nb cliange of administration will bring a cure unless thccaUso is remedied and political parties are careful t6 doctor the effect and leave the cause alone. "Elect a republican president" and the sun of prosper ity will shine, we are told. Same old bunco game. Elect u jxysiuvui huujjcu tu wiu jruiuuMuii ol privilege 111 OlUCi to remove evils caused by privilege will only increase the trouble. Along in 1910 or thereabouts, when President Taffc was asked the remedy for the steadily increasing unrest and how the idle were to be looked after, replied, "God knows." Mr. Taft was far, more honest than the average .polit ical jpaiiisan.v The Vrcchuid-Aldrich tariff biU only in creased'huc unrest, because it still further widened the gulMjctwecn .privilege mid the people. Any tariff bill would have the same effect. The political program of priv ilege noius no nope or a remedy its sole aim is to prevent a cure. .'War is oligarchy's time-honored and solo remedy for jimusiriui uuresu. wncn conditions uw.omo so intolern h h the Rotlen eRjr. .low? lly putting Into power tho delnocratle party who havo left no Meno unturned to cater to Irrosponsllilo labor unions, by hull batUnR every Industrial enterprlso In tho country by creatlnK'obnoxlouH commissions, buntuess commlsslonB who aro Ignorant of ovry buslnesn principal and hau attempted to re tard and hamper ury Industrlnl en terprise In tho country, thereby hav lnc scared capital Into hiding and no power or party can compel It to como out and Invest under uncurtain con ditions. Tho result Is that men wlio havo tabor for anlo will ro without a market until .tho present polices change and vuen legislation Is enact ed as will mako It safo (or capital to start Industries sufficient to .employ all labor offered. Tho organized la bor element has sown tho wind and aro now reaping tho whirlwind. The Mall Trlbuno im.s: "In Pennsylvania one hundred thousand miners aro wandering 'ovor tho country, foraging and begging for something to eat. and even eating tho flesh of cats and dogs. "In Texas parents unablo to sup port their children havo tried to'glvo them away, "Kvcn In far-off Alaska, 1C00 men aro begging for work, and there Is work for about 300.

"As you 109k Into, tho faces of these men ybucan b'ut feel grieved And.sad, Hmt ynnr.lirnHtnr driven to this last ilt'sperato resort of a man out of work anil monoy beg ging." I 1 thought tho editor too shrewed a man to display this product of tho democratic party In this public man ner. It reminds mo of a saloon keeper who would lay out a lot of drunks on tho -sidewalk In front of his placo of business nr products of his business. .J. 8. HOWARD, cordially invited.

None.' Capital and labor should go band in hand; one is Indispensable to the other. Captlal can do without la thins without capital. Kvory well do vcloped man has labor for salo when ho has nothing more; he cannot sell It if there Is no capital to buy It, and he should he frco to sell It to whom he chooses and there should ho in dustrial freedom which should bo free to make its own terms between tho employer and tho omployeo and when ho pays tho price agreed upon between him and his employee his obligation is at an end. Ho takes his own risks of his success or failure; if he makes a profit it is own; If ho makes a failure ho does not expect his employees to make good his losses. ( He makes a market for thoso w,ho have'labor for sale, and that's what what is the matter now. There are not enough Industries in operation now to make a tnarkot for all the la for offered for sale. 'Why? Jlecauso industrial freedom has been choked out by the very clement that is clam oring for a market for their labor, bor, but labor cannot accomplish any- J They have killed the goose that laid -'-ML :'l mmm ' .. t "i f i v4f-n THE DIAMOND FROM THE SKY The $10,000 Chicago Tribune Prizo Story.
