SATURDAY, JANUARY 3, 1020- OLOOXT AND THE GAME s,', COMMISSION The Oregonian so aptly and ably Wrais nptthe situation that has arisen over the. Fish and Game Ccmmisslon "Vinley muddle, that The Herald re "Jwlnts. it with unreserved indorse ment. The action of Governor Ol--ott has simply astounded his friends friends who, believed that he was ble to .handle a 'situation such as this without .trouble and without listening to the demands of men who are a real menace to free govern ment. -. The .Oregon)an editorial follews: The Oregonian confesses its "com Jflete Inability to loRow'the many .strange divagations of Governor -Olcott's mind relative to the fish and -Came troubles. The masterly ln oompetence and consistent ,lnconsV--tency with which he has handled the whole' situation, growing out of the controversy over the Finley dls tnlssal, are now to be enhanced by outright discharge of commissioners In whom Governor Olcott has 'public ly declared his confidence and whose Action as to Finley' was in part 'in spired by him and in its entirety op Jwpved by him. It Is nq.soluatlon of lhe muddle; it aggravates it gravely "nd postpones the day when there may be "reconciliation between the several factions among the sports- lien, and between the sportsmen and the commercial" fishermen, or har- aony and co-operation between all -interests and the new ctitnin'isslon or two new commissions.- f The governor finds It. necessary to give the public his assurance that Us action has been long in contem .tdation and that it is-notidue to the .Finley episode, but to"1 the "squab--Wlngs and bickerings 'which in themselves have caused 'dlssatisfac tion, distrust and lack of confi dence," and he proposes to "wipe the "ttlate clean" and start anew. It is impossible to cacept this gratuitous guaranty at Its face value, and not -to regard his threatened action as another chapter of the continuing Finley story. It is pertinent to ask the governor "what he would have done if ' the commissioners as a whole had re sponded to his call upon them to re verse themselves, as he reverssd himself, by agreeing to reinstate Mr. Finley? Would he have followed "their meek compliance with an 1m--tnediate announcement that a com mission which was obedient to him in this niattor, as it had been In all or believe if I called them In and submitted to them my belief that harmony cannot prevail while they the on tho commission, they would resign, without hesitation,, for the good of r the service, and probably would behind to do so. But to call then) In $0Yf yyJth such a proposition would 'be unfair tu thpm and nlace Ihem In a, delicate position, which I would ihesitnto to do. Consequent ly! havo decided to bear tho brunt of this decision and announce open ly my intentions that these men may bo relieved of possible embarrass ment," The governor's idea of being fair to his commission is to fire them Without giving them a chance to say anything to him in the way of pro test. Thus he seeks td close the door upon an unpleasant and difficult af fair by denying to the commission the right of a hearing. He has not communicated Jo them., at any time an intimation of his solemn;, purpose, formed "soma time ago," "that ,va new commission must be the even tual solution."" On the contrary he lias given 'many indications, public and private, of .his satisfaction with the commission, shown in one in stance by the prompt reappointment Ofii me'nibe'tf'svhjsecferm lfadexpir-H ed. The present commission relieved Mr. Finley of his job without a hear ing. It did" not "occur to the governor, -Until he had made the belated dis covery that the procedure was creat ing dissatisfaction and criticism in various quarters, that it had the as pects of an unseemly proceeding and he then asked for reconsideration and reinstatement of tho state biolo- gist. In what respect does his own taction differ from the commission's method as to Finley? If the one jus tifies a call for resignation of the commission though we do not lose sight of the fact that the Governor says It has nothing to do with the case what Bhould be the penalty as. to him in the other instance? The fish and game controversy hasexceeded the bounds of the Fin ley episode. It has given to the state a painful revelation of executive shilly-shally and retreat which will make it hard hereafter for Mr. Ol cott" to' maintain an unimpaired posi tion at the head of the state govern ment. It awakens anew the question as to authority and its. exercise by public 'officials 1and""ilieJduty'.f""firm support, so long as it is exercised Within proper limits, by higher con stituted authority. It creates dis trust as to the ability of any state commission to perform its- functions faithfully, and with a sole view to the public interest! if .a .subordinate is likely at any time to be elevated over it. It forbodes a clash betweei the governor and the legislature at the coming special session, which will mar and color the entire course of legislation. It will renew and en large the feeling and desire, that the people should have an opportunity to fill the office of governor at the next general election. jK:K"H City Conveniences and Fire Protection in Country Homes -& T t T T t t t t I I T T T t- T T f T t T i f JSmSm PI i-L- RiL ' b3 3c4 MUX f9BSHMniRi!rTb if We have taken the agency, for the Universal Lighting Systems and Paul" Gravity and Pressure Water Systems.
