Conserve Our Fishing
IX past years, devotees of that grand sport fishing have
looked to Rogue River as a paradise. This river was a
veritable mecca for anglers from far and wide who sought
the acme of sport a battle with the fighting Steelhead of
the Rogue.
Chamber of Commerce leaflets have, in rast years- been
filled with superlatives describing this famous river, teeming
with its silvery denizens eagerly awaiting the fly. The Rogue's
reputation was well deserved; each ypar this stream attracted
an army of Isaac Waltons.
It is a regrettable fact that this picture lias changed in
recent years.
.
TriE upper Rogue that portion above Bybee's bridge, is
no longer the grand fishing stream of a few years ago.
Looking facts squarely in the face, the angler and especially
he guest who is not experienced in fishing thiB stream who
hooks a Steelhead is indeed fortunate. Only too frequently,
the well known fisherman's luck is noticeably lacking.
The natural result has been a noticeable- drop in the number
of sportsmen who come to southern Oregon to fish. This has
become a factor in the highly important tourist industry 'for
Rogue River fishing has been one of our leading vacntion-time
attractions.
Thus, it becomes the concern of all who live in the Rogue
River Valley I
FOR several years the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce
has been concerned with this increasingly serious problem.
It has been recognized for some time but, until recently, no
effective solution has been reached.
Now it appears that the rehabilitation of the upper Rogue
as a fishing stream IS REASONABLY ASSURED. The
recently organized Rogue River Sportsmen's club with 375
active members lias taken the bull by the horns. In assuming
this important project the sportsmen have the full cooperation
of the Jackson County Chamber of Commerce.
Here are 375 sportsmen who KNOW fishing in Rogue River
as it now is, and who recognize that immediate steps must
be taken to remedy the deplorable conditions of recent years
IF Rogue River is to again become one of the west's foremost
fishing streams.
So, a FIVE-YEAR FISH PL AM has been undertaken.
It is a farsightcd, PRACTICAL plan.
Members of the Jackson County Sportsmen's Club realize
that the job will take time that is why a five-year program
has been set up. If the plan that has been so carefully mapped
out is carried through, however, Rogue River should certainly
regain its fading fame.
aIEMBERS of this organization have lost no time in
putting their sensible program into operation. The first
step was to interest the State Fish and Game Commission in
their problems; the cooperation of this body was immediately
forthcoming and Jackson County now has a FULL TIME
officer to patrol streams and irrigation ditches. Incidentally,
this county is the ONLY one in the state with a full time man
on this job.
This step was highly necessary to the fish conservation
program. Countless thousands of small fish have been lost each
year in unscreened or inadequately screened ditches.
The cooperation of those who maintain dams on Rogue
River for hydroelectric power and irrigation water was next
sought. Again, full support was given and fish ladders on the
upper Rogue will now be in operation ALL of the time.
Another phase of the Five-Year Fish Plan is the "racking"
of small creeks tributary to the
provides small permanent dams
dry up in the summertime so
up them to their inevitable doom when the low water period 1
arrives.
This racking progrn'm is now well underway where the
cooperation of private owners has been secured. It is a !
regrettable fact that, in some instances, this cooperation has
not been forthcoming and it is to be earnestly hoped that
certain objections will eventually be overcome and ALL
smaller tributary brooks will be eventually blocked to runs
of fish.
' '1IE Jackson County Sportsmen's Club hns another iinpor-
tant project on their Five-Year Plan the planting of a
sj ceie of Rainbow in the upper Koguo that will NOT migrate
to the ocean. Similar non-migratory trout were planted in
the Mackenzie River a few years ago and now l.nnc County
fishermen are catching these fine game Haiubow in plentiful
numbers. They are now reaching a weight of five pounds!
Certainly, this part of the Rogue rehabilitation program
should be carried out with the least possible delay.
'piltfRE have been a number of factors contributing to
present fishing conditions on tho upper Kogue. Lack of
Milter during some seasons, due to depleted water-sheds, and
increasing supplies of water taken out for irrigation have had
their hearing; the necessary damming of water has caused
warm, still pools which seriously affect the two annual
salmon runs.
As a result, early runs have been very unsatisfactory
although fall runs have been generally better.
' "11 KKE is an obvious disagreement between anglers on the
effect of bout fishing on the upper Kogue.
Many who are leading the fish conservation fight, however,
are convinced that the barring of boats ou this portion of the
river after July 1st is highly necessary so necessary, in fact,
that they sponsored a bill at the last. Oregon legislature for
the prohibition of boats on the Kogue during the summer
month for the period of two years.
This bill passed without a dissenting vote; the immediate
signature of Governor Sprngue made it a law.
A l'i i'i all, the Rogue Kiver Sportsmen's Kive-Yenr Kish
Plan is an excellent one. The sponsors should he
commended for initiating this sensible, farsightcd program
The Fhc-Year Han should uniuestionably receive the
i holeheiirted support ami cooperation of everyone in the
Rogue Kiver Valley 1 q

QUERY FROM
Recently the old grouch who con-
ducts this column mentioned hav
ing received a number of aourpuss
repro a c h e a for
saying In an art
icle here that
many elderly
folk should have
a dally ration of
wine or other
mild alcoholic
beverage. Not
that I resent
such reproaches:
I can take It
reproach, not al
cohol. I'm not
old enough yet
to need a nar
cotic, just be
tween you and me a gentle rebuke
skilfully administered dcs me good.
This one, for Instance:
Dear Doc Brady:
Being one of those "sourpusses"
to whom you refer in your answer
to the question concerning the use
of alcohol, I am interested In the
answer.
Your dally ration of wine for
elderly people would naturally raise
the questions:
1. At what age is one elderly
enough to begin to Imbibe? This age
limit Is rather dreaded by most of us.
3. Just how much should one take,
at what time or times, and what
kind of wine or other alcoholic bev
erage would be best?
3. If there are members of the
younger generation in the home,
what would prevent them from con
sidering themselves old enough to
begin, seeing such good example?
You, as a doctor, must know that
this question Is only considered an
emotional one when It affects the
lives of people. Otherwise, even we
sourpusses realize that It Is a scien
tific question.
Yours truly.
The age at which an aged valetu
dinarian may advantageously take an
alcohol ration Is whenever he or she
begins to be cantankerous, peevish,
difficult to live with in short, a
sour puss.
It would be remarkable now If
many critics tn the ardor of their
deprecation do not distort my teach
ing Into an endorsement of liquor
for general use. I have-weighed that
carefully before commltlng myself
and I desire only to emphasise that
I said many elderly folk, not all,
should have a dally ration or wine
or other mild alcoholic beverage.
A dry sherry or claret is preferable
for most of these enfeebled old folk.
Beer, however, ts well borne by the
elderly Individual who does not drink
It but takes a glass leisurely, sipping
It a little at a time.
Wine contains from 6 to 20 per
cent of alcohol, most American wines

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19. The Pres
ident's proclamation of a "limited
emergency has started talk which
will not be stopped. It Is said to
be only the forerunner of another
proclamation of full emergency. It
ts suspected of calling Into being
large but tll-deflned powers which
lurk, mysteriously and threateningly.
In forgotten purlieus of the federal
statute books. It in thought to be
the first step toward putting the
nation on a "war-time basis."
It Is true that there was little
discoverable reason for the presi
dential proclamation, beyond the
RooseveKUm tnste for public drama.
But practically everything that Is
being snki about the proclamation,
now thnt the first calm comments
seem to be forgotten, la either cxng
gorated or Incorrect.
On the one hand, there ts the
emphasis on the proclamation's "lim
itation." Since the limitation was a
statement thnt the emergency con
cerned preservation of neutrality and
the national defense. It cannot be
considered very circumscribing. lie
would be a poor government lawyer
Indeed who could not find some
connection with national defense or
neutrality In virtually any contem
plated move. Then, on the other
hind, the emergency powers which
the president can exercise under the
proclamation are Just about one-
tenth as Rre.it as has been generally
wprwvd. Following Is a list o!
them, drawn from Justice department
studle prepared, presumably, for the
president's use.
1. He may Incoporate the coast
urd In the navy; call national guard
officers to active duty (but not for
niore than 15 consecutive days); des
ignate euv place as a military area
cimntctt from spies and stray pho
tos'sphers: command the construc
tion of emcrc-Micy forts, and In gen
eral Improve and round out the mill
tary cHtalillshment In various minor
ways. His aiready-taken steps to-
ward brining the army and navy
up to full slrent'i did not even re
quire emergency authorization.

about 10 percent. Beer or ale con
tains perhaps four percent of alco
hol. A large glass of beer may be
reckoned the equivalent of a small
glass of wtne In alcoholic content.
Whiskey or brandy contains 40 to
50 percent of alcohol. So a table
spoonful of whiskey or brandy (one
half ounce) Is nearly equivalent to
a wlneglassful of wine or a half pint
(eight-ounce) glass of beer In alco
holic content. Dilute the tablespoon
ful of brandy or. whiskey with water
enough to fill the wineglass, or
enough to fill the beer glass, and tt
makes no difference which form of
alcohol you take, so far as effects go.
QI'KSTIONH AM) ANSWERS
Potassium Chloride
When you told about potassium
chloride for hay fever, sinus trouble
and allergic sensitivity. I tried to buy
some, but at two large dnig stores
they Insisted it must be. potassium
chlorate and tried to sell me that?
(C. T.)
Answer Five grains of potassium
chloride taken dissolved iu. nearly a
glassful of water, from four to six
times a day for several days, Is nearly
tasteless and has brought marked re
lief In many cases of hay fever,
sinus trouble, and other allergic con
ditions, including allergic skin reac
tions such as hives and acute ecze
matous outbreaks. Potassium chloride
Is recognized in the National Form
ulary; the chemical Is Included In
the standard trade lists of large
manufacturing chemists. Druggists
wno tried to sell you chlorate of
potash when you asked for potassium
chloride ore unreliable; potassium
chlorate Is poisonous in overdose;
potassium chloride is not.

ers permit him to do such things
i as arrange for the construction of

! 3. By a similar certification to
j the maritime commission, he can
j obtain similar powers over water
I transport.
4. He may lower tariffs, but only
I for the stated purpose of facilitating
the Importation of food, clothing and
medical supplies needed In emergency
relief work.
5. He may restrict the use of Amer
, lean ports by submarines or other
, armed vessels of foreign nations,
i 6. He can close the banks or make
rules restricting their business, may
take control of foreign exchange trad
ing, and oan close the stock ex
changes. 7. On certification of an emerg
ency to the communications commis
sion, he can suspend or amend the
regulations concerning radio broad
casting, may close stations for cer
tain specific reasons, or may take
them over on payment of Just com
pensation. At the same time, he is
specifically and strongly prohibited
from Infringing In any way upon
freedom of speech on the radio.
There is no space to give the his
tory of the various powers set forth
above. It is sufficient to say that
most of them could hove been exer
cised by the president In any cose
without auch a general statement
of emergency as the recent procla
mation, and. in order to be exer
cised now. will require further proc
lamations explaining such actions as
may be propo5ed.
At first glance, the powers may
seem great, but tho truth Is they
are no greater than those poten
tially enjoyed by any president. The
majority of them have been dor
mant since the lo.t war because
event and public opinion did not
call for their exercise. The same
restriction on their use exists now
as has always existed. Finally, it
may be added that, of the actual
wartime powers granted President
Wilson, only the power to clow the
banks has survived as a peacetime
authorlratton. It was seved after the
World war been use International ex
changes were then In such a trou
bled state. And the memory of the
way It was suddenly pulled out of
the hat In 1933 Is prohno'r the real
' source of the current widespread
worry.

Communications
Confusion Made Plain
To the Editor:
From your editorial "A Nazi Au-
thnrltu SnanW lAito SO flnri a
lengthy review appearing In the Man-
cnrsie. uuamian, ners nnuscnning s
book, "The Revolution of Nihilism"
Is Just another volume of confusion.
And perhaps both Miss Thompson,
whom you quote and the Guardian's
reviewer, are equally confused aa tha
Nazi author.
Why all this muddleheadcdness In
the ranks of the Intellectually elite?
In my humble opinion, a deficient
scientific background Is the cause.
To really understand social phenom
ena, such a background Is necessary.
This Is everywhere lacking. The uni
versities perhaps, are responsible for
this deplorable state. "Deplorable" Is
used advisedly, since the great In
fluence of the elite In the "shaping
of things to come" cannot be exag
gerated. As the late Lincoln Steffens has
complained In his "Autoblooranhv
and In his two vols, of "Letters."
he damns and damns and damns
acaln Berkeley and the U' scattered
over a half dozen countries In Eu
rope where he went to "find out
what It Is all about. They kept th
truth from me. My greatest dis
coveries were long known," he says.
He wanted to name his book "A
Life of Unlearning." but his pub
lishers, with their eye on the cash
register, objected. One of his dis
coveries Is that the doings of men
and nations are natural phenomena
like that of a snake shedding lta
skin. The doings of men are bio
logical and psychological forces dash
ing against barriers circumscribed
by the environment.
Gumplowltcz had pointed this out
over a half century agol Of such
Ideas our columnists are almost en
tirely Innocent. If they weren't they
wouldn't be columnists. Demolition
to theso barriers to the satisfac
tion of wants, material and spiritual
of the Russians la being brought
about In one way; the nazls In an
other (if .t all)-thls Is another of
opposlM polarity. These two hava
their equally polarized Ideologies.
Tha Russtan la called state social
ism: the nazl's "national socialism,"
but Isn't.
It Is state caypitalism. The end
of the Russian la the emancipation
of man from man and the rest of
his surroundings. The end of the
nazi Is a world concentration camp
where things will be made for the
soa-esteppers the "new slavery" of
Spencer. "Both Ideologies lead to
the sea of world revolution," ai
Rauschnlng says. But he errs when
he says "to the same sea." Revolu
tions have many seas. That both are
revolutionary does not rnsJw them
idenf'cal.
But when a person says a thing
Is revolutionary he utters a com
monplace. What isn't? It Is like tail
ing a psysiclst that a solid body
has mass! "Nothing Is everything
is becoming." If given a chance, tha
nazls will make of r,.-m.n- ....
state to bo civilized.
