GILLNEl IERS

CAN'T DRIVE OUT THE FIsHWHEELS
Legislature VIII Deal Impartially in
the Columbia River Salmon
Troubles.

Portland. Or, Nov. 16.-That Ass
toria gillnetters will fail in their eff
fort TO drive out salmon wheels and
traps is the plain evidence on several
sides. The United States Fish Com
mission opposes them and so do the
authorities OF Oregon and Washing
tonn. 1t is altogether probable that
the Washington commission OF IS
members, which met in Seattle last
week, will oppose the gillnetters and
will call for regulation of all kinds
OF fishing gear. and that the Oregon
Conservation Commission. a commit
tee Of which is investigating the mat
ter, will do the same. Oregon's new
fish warden takes this view and de-
clares that all gear should be regu-
lated and none abolished.
Affairs have reached such a stage
that the closed season will undoubt-
edly be heightened by the two legis-
latures this winter. There are now
only two closed periods, one 80 days
long, between March Is and April
15, and the other 18 days long. be-
tween August 25 and September 10.
These were the closed seasons up to
the enactment OF the imperative ini-
tiative laws in Oregon.

HOW STATE CAPITOL WAS BUILT,

Farwell in this venture was his broth

cost nearly three times the amount
cost nearl thre times the amount orig
originally stipulated, but the Farwel.s
stood by their bargain. The land re-
ceived was at first operated as a man,
moth cattle ranch. but the Farwells
have since sold most Of it at satisfac-
tory figures. The great acreage in the
upper northwestern portion OF the
State, which Texas back in the late
seventies, being without sufficient
funds for the job, offered to any one
who would construct a capitol build
ing is thus depicted:
"The land which the Farwell firm
secured is perfectly level, a portion
Of the great plains Of the State, which
is now heralded as one Of the most
prosperous sections of the United
States. Where once was the great
tract of land, with fences reaching
distances of upward Of fifty miles,

statement does not convince when
he said that the correspondence
had nothing to do with anything In

There Is no greater danger to this
republic than this mighty power of
money employed for evil. There are

trusts that corrupt the public SER

Mr.. Hearst then gave his reasons
for leaving the Democratic party.
"Mr. Bryan" he said, "is a shell
man at a county fair, executing a
she'll game. Where is the little ball
OF free silver. Of public ownership, of
the referendum? Gone.
"Mr. Bryan is an astounding Jug
gler. He balances on one hand Bel.
mont. the labor breaker, and on the
other Gompers the union labor
leader.
"Mr. Bryan is the political loose
skin man. You cannot tell whether
he Is coming or going.
"Mr. Bryan charges that I am an
cry at him because he did not sup.
port me for the presidency. That is
not true. The Independence party
was formed to restore genuine Dem

ttat In the conception and adoption
CO the 11th amendment it never enter
ed the mind Of the trainers Of the
Constitution that a sovereign State
would engage In q business as a IL
quor dealer. and become a trader by
buying and selling an article Of COM
mon traffic In competition with the
citizens Of the country" but the Court
goes on to say that to pass on this
point "is not necessary to the dispo-
sition Of the case. and then we have
not authority In point to guide u.s."
However. II will be recalled that in
the celebrated vandercook case, the
original package case" the Supreme
Court of the United States sustained
the Supreme Court OF South Carolina.
and differed from the opinion. of Fed
eral Judge Simonton. and held that
tho State Of South Carolina in the ex.
ercise OF Its police powers had the
&C Institutional right to monopolize the
whiskey business. and In fact the
Court OF Appeals in the Fleischmann
decision Is In error perhaps when 1t
refers to the traffic In whiskey as buy
Ing and selling "an article Of common
traffic." for the courts have held time
and again that the traffic In whiskey
Is different from the traffic In articles
or ordinary commerce, and that In
the exercise Of Its police powers the
State has the right to prohibit that
traffic altogether.
The point Is, also raised that II the
State In Its sovereign capacity could
not engage In the liquor business, then
II could have been sued for the claims
against the State dispensary and that,
furthermore, since the county dis
pensaries are run In the name of the
State. the state can be sued for the
claims against them. However, the
liability Of the State In respect to the
county dispensaries Is expressly linn
tied BY the Act under which the con-
tracts Of the county dispensaries are
made. In Section 9 OF the Carey Goth
ran Act II 10 stated: "The members
OF the said county board are hereby
declared 70 be county officers. and are
hereby authorised and empowered.
under the authority and in the name
OF this State. to buy In any market
and retail within the State liquors
and beverages" ETC., but II II pro-
vidsd that 'the state shall not be la
BILE upon any contract for the pur-
chase thereof beyond the actual as
ssts Of the dispensary for which the
purchase II made"
