Traps In Oregon
When the question of fish wheels
(miniature fish traps) was put up
to the vote of the people of Oregon,
they were abolished.
When the reactionary members
of the Oregon legislature proposed
to legalize these same lisli wheels,
the leading paper of the capital of
Oregon, the Oregon Statesman,
printed the following item:
“There must be no tinkering by
the legislature with the verdict oi
the people at the polls in November
against the devilish lisli wheels that
prevent the fishing industry of Ore
gon from growing to t wo or tlire ■>
times its present size, or more. And
none writh the industrial accident
law.’’—Oregon Statesman, Salem.
OTHERS HAVE FISH TROU1VLES
The following is taken from “The
Oregon Statesman" of last February
17th, the leading paper in the cap
ital of Oregon.
“FISH MONEY STINKS"
“The people of Oregon are tired
of the fish fight in the legislature
every two years. They showed 1
in their vote last November. They
knew what it was about—
“And every member of the legis
lature knows what it is about.
“Restore the natural right of
fishery to the people of Oregon, and
there will be no more fish fignfs
The way to do that is to clean out
all the fish wheels and fixed ger\
and give the commercial fishing in
dustry a chance to expand.
“As long as there is a single spe
cial privilege license, a single li
cense for fixed gear, there will be a
fish fight. The owners will fight
for their special privileges, whioli
should never have been granted.
“Their money stinks. In the old
days of Turkey, under the murder
ous and corrupt sultans, it was a
common saying that “Turkish men
ey stinks.” It is the same in Ore
gon. Fish money stinks.
“There is a bill, No. 93, in the
Senate, which, if forced out of com
mittee and amended and passed,
will finish this business. The bill
was introduced by Senator Joiu-s
of Clackamas. Why does not Sen
ator Jones force it out,
“There is a bill to defer the time
when the vote of the people to force
out part of the fi3h wheels and fix
ed gear shall take effect. This,
bill ought to be killed.
“The investigation’’ of the pre
sent fish commission is a sham; it
stinks with fish money. The pre
sent commission is the best the
state has had.”
