Kvory newspaper, congress
man, clergyman anil at least
50,000,000 others have discuss
ed the Wickerslmm prohihtiinn
report. The discussion will ('ou
tline, with minority memhers
tolling what they think. The
fact is that the commission rec
ommends, by a majority vote,
to do nothing except spend
more money on eiil'oiveinent,
which, according to the com
mission's unanimous opinion,
docs not enforce.
The President approves Hie
commission's condemnation of
repeal or modification. Therc
Jore there will lie no change in
the law or the national policy
until March 4. l!):i.i, in any case
and the public mind and the
presidential mind should turn
1o pther things. This nation
was not established and Presi
dents are not elected, to spend
an eternity discussing whiskey
and beer.
The public will applaud Pres
ident Hoover's determination
to officiate at the Harding
Memorial celebration. Harding
was a President of the United
Slates and President Hoover,
netting aside any personal opin
ion, :jts well in accepting the
Harding committee's invitation.
Alas, poor' Harding, this
celebration and Mr. Hoover's
Acceptance remind you of a
western funeral, at which no
one rose to say a good word for
the deceased, until after ten
minutes waiting, one tall man
got u) and was asked "Are
you a friend of the deceased"
He replied: "Xot exactly, for
1 never heard of him. Hut I'm
a friend of any man that has
as few friends as lie seems to
have here."
Distance lends "enchantment,
perhaps. It surely creates in
difference. Under the head
ing "millions dead of famine,"
you read six lines of Associated
Press copy to the effect that in
tenia's Shensi province nlonc
2,0(10,000 have died of hunger
and -100,000 have been sold into
slavery within a short time. Are

STATE HOUSR, Salem, Ore,
Jan. 22. (VP) The bill abolishing
tho public service commission of
Oregon, long-awaited by tho legis
lature, was Introduced in the house
this afternoon. With it was a
special Sua-word message from
liovernor Meier, outlining the pur
pose of the measure.
This bill, his message said, was
designed for "more effective con
trol and regulation of public utili
ties" in the state and for the cor
rection of "many unsatisfactory
conditions of rates and service, as
well as for the promotion of public
interest.
The hill provides for creation of
a one-man commission.
At the same lime an administra
tion bill was introduced In tho
senate providing for creation of a
state hydro-electric commission of
three men. This commission would
consist of the state engineer and
two'other men to be appointed by
the governor, and to serve without
pay.
Tho duties of the commission
will be to issue preliminary power
permits and to investigate water !
resources of tho state.

As congress ami the country
plunged into ihw phases of the
long prohibition dispute today,
enough of the inside story of the
Wickershant commission was dis
closed to indicate the bitterness of
ho me of its internal differences.
There was no authoritative sup
port, however, for reports that the
disagreements of the commission
ers arose either from any interfer
ence by President Hoover, or from
any alternation of tho commission
report after it had been signed by
members.
In the course of its preparation
the wording of tho report was
changed again and again in an ef

commissioners could sign.

Daniels Leads Sportsmen's
Delegation at Public Hear

Fast Depleting Fish, . Is
Argument Local Men.
S A L KM, Jan. 22 . UP r ropo -nents
and opponents of the Rogue
river fishing hill now before the
Oregon legislature, which would
close the Htream to commercial
fishing, clashed last night In the
first public hearing of the present
session. l-'or three hours, mem
bers of the Joint fish and game
committees nnd a crowded senate
chamber heard arguments for and
against legislative pannage of the
measure. T. IS. Daniels of Med
I'ord led the delegations from
Jackson and Josephine counties
favoring the bill, while Roderick
Macleay of Portland led the op
position. Statements that ' fish In the
Kogue river were being depleted
nnd unless nction is taken,, tbe
strea m as a sport f iehlng one
would not be worthy of the name,
nnd that 60,000 people in the up
per valley cut down the high cost
of living by angling in that stream,
were made by the Medford, Ash
land and Grants Pass party.
Coos Huh Argument.
Coos and Curry county speakers
presented figures nnd statements
to show that commercial fishing
did not deprive the tipper regions
of fish, hut to tho contrnry, streari
pollution, irrigation ditches, and
riffles which the fish- can not
swim were the causes, If any, of
depletion. "You can not legislate
fish up the river," George D. Chen
oweth of Gold Beach declared i
his argument.
Daniels opened the arguments
In support of the bill by stating
that stream pollution did not kill
the fish." nnd .that commercial
fishing must cease if, the tourists
will continue- to come to Oregon
Tor sport fishing. J.'E. Culllsdii.
chairman of the gnmo commission,
former Senator J. C. Smith of
Grants Pass and O. "O. Alenderfr
of Medford argued for the bill,
pointing out that only 83 families
were supported by commercial
fishing.
Cowgill Testifies.
Ralph Cowgill of Medford pre
sented Tigures of a survey made of
the Rogue to show that irrigation
ditches wero screened, and that
tho run of fish wa decreasing.
Joseph Wharton, president of tho
Grants Pnss chamber of com
merce, declared that the future
welfare of the Grants Pass dis
trict depended upon closing the
stream to net fishing. Other
speakers for the proponents were
William It rig sn. president of the
Ashland chamber of commerce,
Mnrtin Hughes of Grants' Pass,
representing the Josephine Po
mona Grange and Irving T. Vin
Ing, Ashland. Wilfred Allen of
Grants Pass, member of the game
commission, closed the arguments
for the delegation, while Daniels
