BOFIAi-r-(Corrcsnonde!iee of the
Associated Press.) Bulgaria is iu
the throes of a political crisis which
will reouirc the trreutest wisdom for
its solution. She must linuidatc the
military and political disaster anil the
bad effects of the personal regime, .of
Kmc Ferdinand which extended thru
a period of some 25 vettrs. She must
restore her standing with her alienat
ed foreign friends, and bv wise con
cessions and reforms forestall the
spread of extreme doctrines anions a
Inhre and Somewhat susceptible poimr
lnlioh. Ilcartv cooperation of nil
political parties is evidence of thier
earnestness to meet the situation
wisely. . ;
'", The. conntrv now has a coalition
aovcrnmcnt, the cabinet lieina com
posed of men from six dilfercnt par-
tics.' This is the third cabinet ehnnec
since last June, and each elinnse has
Seen an increasing number of factions
represented in the official1 family. To
an American the 'popular character of
the . Bulgarian government is some
thing of a revelation, no less than a
dor.en 'diffcrent'parties beine forinnl
lv . represented in parliament. ,:
Bulfraria: has taken precautions
oaainst internal troubles through rep
resentatives and parliamentary dis
cussion rather than in dictatorships,
street outbreaks or other forms of
social f: 'upheaval.--:: The conntrv
breathes freer in the absence of Fer
dinand, even thoush it is occupied bv
entente troops. - '
-:The old chamber has bcen-retnined
in: office to avoid unnecessary risks
and' the ncitatioh always attendant
upon national elections. Premier
Iiddoslavoff. 'who was looped upon
e. Germany's dupe, had at no time
more than a bare majority, .and that
majority consisted of Turks, who, in
Bulearia; have eaual rishts with the
Bulgarians. -
"Since Ferdinand's exit, the eond be
havior, of the people has been in' tc
murkable contract to the situation
provnilinc in Russia. This is exulain-
ed- bv the usscrtion that Bulgaria is
a virtual democracy and bus laid the
basis for popular contentment., There
is eauituble distribution pi the land,
povenunent ownership of public utili
ties, legislative control of the execu
tive,; micorruptcd courtst and eolcial
Icfrislation.' Universal sjilffrase has
been enioved since the creation pf the
state, and tbp people have proportion

Australian ballot system and Buur-
aptees of popular rights.
BILL TO TAX MINES
k ' PASSES THE HOUSE
'"'.- SALEM. Feb. 15.-4linorai:nnd oil
richts in Oregon arc to be. assessed
for taxation purposes separate from
the real estate, according to the pro
visions of a bill which passed the
houso Wednesday. - ' ;
. Hcnrcsentntivo Burnaueh. who in
troduced the bill, explained that it was
designed to correct a condition which
obtained at the present tune in Colum
bia county and other counties in the
slate wherein the title to land has
been impaired bv reservmz the rights
to mineral and oil in previous trans
fers. These holders, it was slated,
either refuse to dispose of their rights
or else demand a prohibitive price and
at the snm time pay no taxes to the
slate. The bill ns passed Wednesday
provides that where the holders of
such mhls refuse to set a valuation
upon (heir holdings the nsscssor may
fix sa valuation not; in excess of .10
liciveent ol the value of the real cs
-lutii. ' . ... .. . '
'THE PEOPLE
T ASS A (IE bv 'the Oregon
i- tlie Kogtte river fish bill designed ' to cripple the
cannery interests und givt? a monopoly of salmon fishing
to the Bolshevik gill-netters, shows how little the legisla
tors regard the expressed verdiet-of the people, though
loudly proclaiming tlieir devotion.
, The people voted to -close the Kogue Hivev to com
mercial fishing iu 1910, by an initiative measure invoked
by Medford anglers, because the Humes, then having a
Snonopoly bf eonnneinial fishing, refused to censo It he
taking of steelhead tixut.
1 - Two years later, the eannerv changed hands, the now
owners agreed t close the
steelliead, and inasmuch as the object lor which the river
had been closed, the protection of steelhead, had been se
cured, those who fathered the closure bill consented to
the reopening of the stream for salmon upon their own
terms, in order not. to deprive the state of a profitable in
dustiy and the lower river community of a rwee of
livlihood.
Instead of one eanne'ry, with a monopoly, paying small
wages, two have been in operation paying big wages, but
the Vloscst vigilance has failed to show any violation of
the law prohibiting the taking of steelhead," thoujrh many
violations of salmon restrictions by gill-netters. 1 , .
, At the hist legislature, some of the Medford sportsmen
joined hands with the law-defying gillnetters and forced
a bill through, the legislature making seining illegal- un
der the supiHisition that seining destroyed steelheads.
As the steelhead do not run in any number during tin:
salmon season, few are ever caught in the seino and those
thrown out.; Not a fraction as many are destroyed as
arc slaughtered about Medford in winter and spring when
the steelhead are spawning. To force the measure
through, the gillnetters fishing season in the upper river,
was lengthened from GO to 107 days and inasmuch as
the anti-seiniug measur was referended, the sole efforts
of the sportsmen was to make the lot of the ascendiug
steelh6ad more difficult in dodging gillnets, ; ' , : :
The cannery invoked the referendum because 'without
the right to use 'the seine in-competition, tlie gillnetters'
union having a monopoly, placed the price of fish so high
that it became prohibitive. The cannery entered into an
agreement with the union not to use the seine, provided
the gillnetters supplied the
lnis price was lixed bv the
while a substantial advance upon the previous season, was
hot high enough to suit the fishennens' union which vio
lated then." agreement with the government and cannery
and went out on a six weeks' strike in the height of the
seasou. The eannerv claims, and experience proves the
justice of the claim,' that without the right to use the
seruc m competition, the exactions ot the fishermen would
make -operation imprae.heal
people, by a majority of over
endum upon the bill.
But the recently expressed wishes of the people are
flagrantly defied by the "legislators, who have, in the
house, passed the popularly repudiated measure over the
peoples', veto. " , ,;- -,

diers of the American Expeditionary Force in France and

"The only group on which the news has had no ef
