By FRANK JENKINS
THE fifth measure on the stat bal
lot at the November election la
an old friend the Rogue River fish
bill. In one form or another, It has
been before the people of Oregon for
more than 30 years.
This time It la In tha form of a
referendum of a bill passed by the
legislature. The referendum waa In
voked by the commercial fishing In
terests at the mouth of the Rogue.
BRIEFLY stated', 'the principle In
volved Is this:
Shall commercial fishing be per
mitted on the Rogue river, or shall
this stream bo reserved for sports
men? If you believe that commercial
- fishing should be permitted, even If
It does interfere seriously with fish
ing for sport, you should vote
AGAINST the blU. If you believe
the Rogue la more valuable as a
sportsmen's stream, you should vote
FOR It.
THE bill, of oourse, will destroy
the commercial fishing Industry
The Gold Beach Packing company,
the only buyers of fish on the Rogue
thla year, paid out to netters dur
ing the 100 days' season of 1932 the
aum of $18,365. From thla, It la esti
mated, 85,125 had to be deducted for
necessary expenses, leaving 813.J40 to
be divided among 114 netters, or
(1.18 per day net wage.
It Isn't much of an Industry that
can't pay Its workers better than
that.
ON THE other side or tne story,
there are 62 licensed guides In
Curry county alone, who cater to
tourist fishermen. They receive (5
per day for their services without a
boat, and from (7.00 to (10.00 per
dBy with a boat.
It would appear from these figures
that sportsmen fishing on the Rogue
Is worth a great deal more to the
community than the commercial fish
ing Industry. .: ...
And we must not forget that the
Rogue river, which la one of the fa
mous streams of the West, la an
asset of ALL SOUTHERN OREGON,
for fishermen who come to fish In
thla great river apend money all over
the southern part of the state.
THIS writer expects to vote FOR
the bill closing the Rogue river
to commercial fishing, believing that
ft la a greater asset to the state of
Oregon as a whole and to Southern
Oregon In particular than the lim
ited and rather unimportant com
mercial fishing Industry now estab
lished at the river's mouth.
SIXTH on the ballot Is the measure
referendlng the legislative appro
priations for the etate's higher edu
cational institutions, amounting orig
inally to (1,181,173, of w.hlch (500,000
was vetoed by the governor, leaving
a balance of (681,173, which la the
amount affected by the referendum.
THIS writer will vote AGAINST the
appropriation, for this reason:
The schools, by rigid economy,
have managed to curtail their bud
gets to the point where they will be
able to get along without the appro
priation, which was made two years
ago, at a time when we were feeling
somewhat more optimistic as to our
ability to pay taxes than we are
feeling now.'
If they CAN get along without the
approprlatnon, they SHOULD, as a
service to the state In the present
tax emergency.
IT REALLY should- be mentioned
here that there are two measures
on the ballot this year which will af
fect higher education In Oregon
the one Just discussed here, nd the
measure proposing to move the Uni
versity of Oregon from Eugene to
Corvallls and consolidate It with the
Oregon Stat college and move the
normal schools at Ashland, LtrOrande
anc Monmouth to Eugene.
These two measures are wholly dif
ferent, and should not be confused
In the minda of voters. The moving
bill, which is a financial absurdity,
will be discussed In this column at a
later date.

Above are the final result of The

the first ballot, and their leadership
waa maintained throughout the con
teat. The moat striking features of the
first ballot were Gates' overwhelm
ing vote and the number writing In
the name of Ralph Jennings for sher

ing features of the last ballot, as
shown by the following totals com

the fact that an organised movement

however, maintained a comfortable
lead throughout, and has a 70 per

in it statement today that Demo

EUGENET
OE
At a meeting of the school board
last evening the resignation of How
ard V. Scheffel was accepted and
Eugene Thorndyke was elected to fill
the vacancy. Scheffel was present
and stated that the cause of his
resignation was the fact that he waa
removing to Klamath Falls -in the
near future. Mr, Scheffel has been
a member of the school board for
the past six years.
Mr. Thorndyke was appointed by
the board to serve until the next
regular annual meeting which will
be held In June aa the law pro
vides. Th present members of the
board are N. H. Franklin, chairman;
C. C. Lemmon, Marc B. jarmin, Dr.
R E Green and Eugene Thorndlke
The board also took up some pre
liminary work looking toward the
preparatldn of the budget for the
coming year While no definite fig
ures could be given out, Supt.- E. I.
Hedrick stated last- night; "You, may
be assured that the total school bud
get to be levied this year will be at
least $76,000 less than It was last
year, and I think the reduction will
be more than that,. Last year saw
the heaviest - budget ever raised by
the local schools. It was brought
about by the heavy debt load caused
by the building program, and the
fact that we .had to meet two years'
bond and Interest payments In one
year. I think our debt load this year
will be around 30,000 less than last
year. We also saved about $15,000
In operating expenses last year. The
board further cut down the corps of
teachers and cut the salaries of all
remaining employes. This Is enabling
ua to save about $40,000 more thla
year."
The actual budget will be prepared
by a committee of citizens within
the next week or ten days. Names
of the budget committee have not
yet been announced.

BRIEF HALT HERE

By Irvn Fewel!.

Viewing the hangar and airfield,

nice to him. He remarked that the

When asked whom he favored for

I'm not allowed to meddle in poli
tics." The flyer said that he had deserted
racing since the war, and seldom
drives an automobile, despite the fact
that he la the man who organized the

WILL-
ROGER?
SAN JUAN, Torto Rioo, Oct.
27 Finally got hold of a U. S.
pnper. It said I went to buy
polo pouio. That must have
handed my banker a laugh.
Thank somebody for the com
pliment. Old age and depres
sion hit my polo the Rame year.
The type of polo I always play
ed, I could get my horses off a
merry-go-round. Besides, if I
wanted good horses I would
never leave America for 'em,
and if they will let 'em race in
every state we will have better
ones everywhere.
Just stopped for gns at our
Virgin islands. Looks like
Roosevelt got it. Just looking
down now on the wreckage of
that liurrieanc one month ago.
It's hard to tell who needs
money the worst, nowadays,
but I believe you could send
some here through the Red
Cross, and feel that it's going
to the most needy place.
Yours,
