OBSERVE THE Fishing
LAW.

- VIZ - ANN'AN p W SASSN
in court bears out the charge
made against some of the
commercial fishermen that
they have been fishing in IL
legal waters, the men guilty
should be given the limit of
punishment. These men
know the effort that the citi-
zens have put forth during
the past two years in open
ing the river to reasonable
fishing, and they know that
the promise has been given
that the laws will be rigidly
enforced. The effect of a
violation of the law does not
rest upon the guilty alone,
but every man who benefits
through the open river, no
matter how law-abiding he
may be, suffers with the
guilty.
Until it is shown, how
ever, that men have wilfully
violated the law and have
fished below the limit or
above the limit set by the
statute, judgment should be
withheld. The carping crit
les from Medford and a few
other places are only too
ready to accept a charge as
evidence of guilt, and then
when there is no evidence
upon which reasonable men
can base a conviction, they
howl about the Grants Pass
perjurers" who turn law vio-
lators loose.
The people of Grants Pass
are Just as anxious that the
fish law, in common with all
just laws, be rigidly enforced
as are the people of any
other law abiding communi.
ty, and where there is evi.
dence upon which to base
conviction, the convict o I
will be forthcoming.
The fisherman himself
however, is the deeply inter
ested party. Violations o
the law will surely kill the
goose that lays for him the
golden egg. If the laws re
garding commercial fshins
cannot be enforced, the law
itself should be repealed. Tht
future of the fishing indus
try lies in the hands of the
fishermen themselves. The,

son, not perfect in all it
phases by any means, bu
good as far as it goes. If i
does not go far enough, a sea
son would show wher i
could be bettered, and tn,
} legislature would be asked t,
make it better. But the peo
pie of this vicinity will hardly be Il
the humor to go before another leg
islature and ask for another law, o
even for the retention of the presen
law If the men who reap the creates
benefit are to wllfully violate its pro
visions
The Courier has talked with tn

that the sentiment is for proper oh

An inconsistency


 We would direct attention methods em- poyed in the senate for the defeat house ?. known the Linney bill which provides for a con- sttutional amendment permitting the O bond itself if the people shall choose, in any sum not exceeding per of the taxable valuation for good roads and other public improvements The bill does not propose bond issue, but merely constitutional amendment which could not be acted upon previous to the general election m case of the ratification of the amendment be years before the subject of q bond issue could be presented
 The bill passed house by a good ma ajority and for month it has been in the senate. reposng in a committee, notwithstanding a majority of the members are said to be favorable to the passage it. On the seeming of final adjournment the house and the senate entered into an agreement the understanding the part house being that each branch should final action on all bills of the other in it's possession. An attempt in senate to take out the Linney failed of unan- imous consent the explanation being offered the agreement related to all pending bills but only to those in conference.
 So far as the agreement is concerned the sen ators who unfriendly to the Linney bill may offer the very good excuse misunderstanding Of it's terms. but they no excuse for their treatment of this bill or the similar treatment O any other bill, in the absence of any agreement
 But. in this of the senate, regardless of any agreement. there is a double offense-one against fair methods legislation, and d reversion to methods which all accustomed o condemn. The other is manifestation of distrust of the people. for house bill ? is essentially measure of the people If be of effect the people must give it effect twice express them selves the question: May the state bond itself? and again. the question. the state bond itself
 The proposed similar legislation necessary to the development of the state some time be enacted if it's enactment is not possible now It must be supplemented by other legislation in proper time, for precaution in the expenditure of the money to be raised Tn that there may be the greatest efficiency economy; that the state receive a dollars worth of good roads for every dollar authorized, the expenditure should be mission.

Usually, one thorough treatment this description will discour- age he candidate such extent that he won't for night watch. and then again it will only spur him to greater effort. Some of he ambitious in this country had to be walked several times by skittish and ve- henent electorate before they where they could distribute free seeds with hand and pull down public buildings with the other.

Such law had been proposed in the legislature, but it's enactment prevented by Charles F.

Hence, the appeal people.
 Colonel Roosevelt and Governor Sulzer always often. been in sympathy The things that the has stood for the colonel has generally been battling against.

The policy for which the governor working a policy of the progressive party fundamental one, tending purify the It made differ to Colonel Roosevelt by whom the policy promulgated by whose agency should be made effective, it much progressive policy as it when it written the national progres sive platform.
 This is the view that the party leaders have consistently taken aiding the enactment of pro- gressve laws in the national legislatures, the aid being extended the party inclined to the proposed legislation.
 The progressive party formed party purposes but for giving expression a desire of the people that certain things should and that certain things should be If either of the older parties had allowed itself be- come the medium of expression there would have been progressive party.
