About This Item
A rare political sign opposed to The Oregon Prohibition of Net Fishing on Coastal Waters Bill, also known as Measure 6, with striking graphics, typically anti-Japanese in the wake of Pearl Harbor and America's entry into WWII; although a cursory contemporary glance at the bill makes any connection to Japan highly dubious. "The measure would have prohibited all net fishing in coastal streams and bays, except those exempted," according to Ballotpedia. It was soundly defeated.
