A LAW-DERIDING PEOPLE
’ i
, Jf you don’t like the law, don't
obey it,” To the discredit of the
nation, that’s the way a lot of
peope think and act in the Unit
ed States. .The national h^bit Is
not to abide by the law of the
.land, but to b££t it and cheat it,
break it and ignore it.
This doesn’t refer to you and
jpe, of course. We consider our
selves law-abiding citizens. We
don’t count the prohibition days,
because we were thirsty and need
r*'
ed a drink and didn’t believe in
prohibition anyway. We don’t re
gard ourselves as lawbreakers
when we use the mails to buy
lottery tickets, or skip a traffic
light when nobody is looking.
And some folks think it’s rather
cute to cut corners when making
out our income tax returns.
There are a lot of other laws
we break without noticing it, part
ly because nobody can move in
this country without stepping on
a law. Legislatures, local and na
tional, keep grinding out new
law's and rarely repeal the old
ones. And in Philadelphia, for in
stance. a peaceful ar.d well-be
haved citizen can break twenty
two laws in one nooning without
knowing it—The Houghton Line.
Grand CoWee
Dam Thwarts
spawning Fish
Grand Ooulee Dam, the largest
structure ever built by man, aow
under ^construction in eastern
Washington, will permanently
bar spawning salmon from the
upper Columbia River, Pacific
Fishermen states.
Use of fish ladders or lefts at,
the Grand Coulee has been de- i
dared impractical because al-:
though it might be possible to
life the adult fish over the bar- i
rier, there is no known method,
of safely getting the ocean bound
salmon down stream past the
dam.
Approximately one-third of the
Columbia River salmon run nor
mally spawns in the upper Col
umbia above the dam. This part
of the run :s considered the most
valuable, however, as it is made
up largely of Columbia River'
Chinooks. Salmon canners point
out that the greater distance the

fish have to go reach the spawn
ing ground the better the quality,
because they store up more oil
and fat in advance of their
spawning migration.
Salmon industry authorities
point out that the efforts to di
vert part of this run to spawn
ing grounds below the Coulee
may preserve part of thip val
uable run. The States of Wash
ington and Oregon are cooperat
ing \yith army engineers and fed
eral authorities in the work of
protecting and improving spawn
ing grounds below the dams
which are not now fully utiliz
ed. A great deal of work is being
done to keep the salmon from
becoming lost in orchard irriga
tion ditches and similar unfav
orable areas. If the salmon are
diverted to streams nearer the
mouth of the river, it is feared
j
by many canners that the qual
ity of the salmon run will de
teriorate.
Grand Coulee Dam is not the
only threat to future Colum
bia River runs. The Bonneville
Dam, lower down the river, is
the scene of a gigantic experi
ment in furnishing artificial aids
for salmon ascending and de
scending the Columbia.
Temporary fish ladders are al
ready in operation and perman
ent. installations are expected to
be ready for the 1938 run. Expert
are divided as to the efficiency of
the Bonneville arrangements.
Principal criticism of the tem
porary plan for handling this
year's run is being leveled at the
lack of adequte means of attract
ing the salmon into the fish lad
ders.
