It is Hurprixing coining at this time, when politically prohibit tion is not ah issue; and from Oregon's senior senator,' who here" tofore has always been classified as a "dry." It is significant because it demonstrates thiit, in Senator Mc N'ary's opinion, tho tide against prohibition' has" turned; arid' it is no longer political suicide for a representative of a dry state like Oregon' to favor a (change. It is also interesting that the, same day Senator McNary's statement was, published, that portion of the Wlckersliam re port should have beert handed down showing the staggering eost of. crimd in this country, arid, the important part1 iii thiit cost caused by the ijBth amendment. '- ; ' ' :! ' IT WILL now 'be interesting to see how Senator MeNary'g ex periment works out. Heretofore the prohibition, issue has, psychologically and politically, been in the north; very much like: the. colored' issue in- the south; insoluble legally and yet, the most vital; force in every local or natidhal campaign.- 1 Just as one drop of colored blood in the s'oiith has raised'the colored issue,' and forced the individual sd classified into the negro camp; so one drop of liquor; or one word of ahti-probibU tion tulk, has in the north forced the individual into tho camp of the iniquitous wets. ' . ' ' Now will Senator McNary'g prbnoiiiiecmcnt ' bring' dbwri on his head tlio" opposition of the W. T.

Yet, human health la our greatest asset and probably the least conserv ed by public agencies-rat least this was true up to a, few . years ago. Careful expenditure, of public funds is .a, necessity t, times when private purse. strings ,have been involuntar ily drawn by, depressed business con ditions. But there are many county agencies which could feel the tax re ducers' .hand with, less harm to the general public good than the health unit. Unquestionably the health movement has resulted in great and wide, benefits to the people ot Mar lon county. Especially is Vila true among the children. Health habits are being taught to growing boys and girls and these habits will cling .through, life to .the, yast.,beneflt. of our future citizenry.

On Sept. 4 a big Fiesta, opens in Los Angeles, with the governor In attendance. On the next day. the state fair opens in .Sacramento. The following day, of course. , Is .Sunday, and, the, next, day Is Labor Day a legal holiday anyway. Two days later comes Admission Day, which Is n state holiday. .. ..... Thus the action isn't quite as radi cal, as It looks. Besides, It probably won t . affect most : business houses. But It. does point a way which most Americans, probably, would, be glad to follow. , .. '. In the first . place, most people work too hard and too steadily. De spite all the current talk about the American's Inability to use his leisure time properly,. the simple fact is that tne ordinary citizen doesn't have a great deal of leisure to use. We could all do with a lot more. We have never really learned the virtues of laziness. In t,ie second place. It has been demonstrated rather painfully In re cent years that we have been too pro ductl.e for our own good. Most of our troubles today spring from the lact that we make things faster than we can sell them. We don"t have enough holidays. Already It Is quite respectable to speak of the five-day working week as a desirable goal. This California proposition slides right down the smo alley. You could easily find some very reputable dollars-ond-cents arguments In support of the Plan (Eugene Register-Guard) PISH, GAME AMI TIIE STATE POLICE Superintendent Pray, of the state police, has asked tho game commis sion for recommendation of hut twenty-five men for state police dutv. of the forty-one heretofore serving as game wardens and deputies. If that means a reduction by sixteen men from the total of the consolidated uo- lice It Is likely to receive general ap plause as a measure of economy. If It merely means sixteen men fewer In game protection work but sixteen mora In general police work, there Is likely to arise protests from those In terested In fish and game protection. That la to say, a transfer from gome protective work to general police wqrk of sixteen men would hardly receive general applause. Tne terms of the law by which the state police force was created nuke it possible for fish and game protec tive administration to be left outside the general police administration In the discretion of the governor or his police superintendent. And thus, far tlh and game protection have been left In the hands ot the game com mission. It need surprise no one It that arrangement is continued In practice. Sportsmen's organizations. well as una.rtill.ted hunters and anglers, are Inclined to view with Jealous eye any encroachment upon the Independence of the fish aatt game administration.' They take the view and lt-ls, not' without logic to support' lt-that' fish" and game pro tection are' supported by special fees paid in the form of licenses by hunt ters and anglers and- by no others, and that , hunters and anglers arc therefore-entitled to have the revenue? so obtained expended wholly, in their in terest and. under on' administration that would In effect transfer a con siderable part of that sum to general police purposes would be altogether likely to face formidable opposition. Representations suoh-as those made before the game, commission that the fish are vanishing, from our 'streams despite artificial propagation a.,d planting may , bo taken for the pres ent; we think, cum grano. sails. It all depends upon. . where ypu go fishing. Some .streams, along . highways ;and readily accessible and, which have' not recently been replanted, are pretty thoroughly fished out... That is par ticularly, true, regarding .streams near Portland, which have received com paratively scanty attention In recent replanting operations , and which, are a good deal past due to receive that attention. But the evidence Is ample that anglers, on the McKenzle, the Deschutes , and. numerous. other streams have ; been, catching, mors trout this year than last.. ;.., , ! on a, fori future day ana wan great growth in home population and tour ist, , visitation, we may face a. condi tion, of ; permanently, depleted trout streams in Oregon but that oondltion Is not- Imminent. Anil, the effort to stave off any such unhappy condition as that , through protection and thru artificial planting. Is worth the mak ing and. worth ... paying for. (Ore goulan.) ; .- .!,-. .
