Shallow Pretext Main Other Motives Are V Suspectei ' ; , Mayer Williams baa aot yet decided whether to spprsvs or to veto th drdl- nanoo licensing poolrooms, which was railroaded through tbs oouncU last Wednesday. . "I cannot tell yet what 1 shall do about tho STdlaanc,' aald ths mayor this morning. "I abaU have to delibetv ate before reaching a declstoB." . Whoa reminded of tbs declaration which hs mads few weeks ago the there would bo no mors gambling la Portland, Mayor WUllama replied: . "At that time bb ordinance was la foroa prohibiting poolrooms altogether. and while that ordinance was la effect X would aot Allow th poolrooms to run. 1 had soms trouble in enforcing It hut tbs poolrooms were finally closed. But that ordinance has now been-repeaJed. so that ths situation la ohanged. and I am not able to amy as yet wba course 1 znaigxattea Arouasn v Certain- it is that tha' Mayor bannat appro re the ordinance which 'la to re open the poolrooms without arousing a storm of Indignant protest. Tho better class of dtlaens Is strongly opposed to ths ordinance, regarding It as to first, atop toward again making Portland 4 "wide open town." Thla class looks to the mayor to veto ths measure. Taa. oaoraordtaasT netleai o4 tho sown efl hi springing ths ordinance wrthsut-b word of warning and la railroading it to Onai passage under suspension- of tho rules has given rtee to many ugly rumors which reflect seriously upon soma of the eounoilmea. It to piatn that the deal was secretly concocted beforehand- and that an understanding had been reached with the proprietors of the poolrooms. Th ostensible excue for ths psssag of tha ordinance was ths olty need of mors revenue, but tt to aid that oonatderatlona of private rather than public Interest controlled ths set Ion -of some at toast of tbs sous-oilman- whoss votes were oast la favor of Chs measure. , . iitimi to rmtaa - 1 Ths absurdity of the plea that tho city aeeds tbs revenue that win be de rived from licensing tbs poolroom, la apparent when It is remembered thst the city's financial embarrassment will bs at an and on January 1. whoa tbo new flscel year begins. If ths ordinance ahould become a law, either by tha mayor's approval or by passing It aver hla veto, tbs rsvsnus that would bs de rived from poolroom licenses during th remainder of thla year would' net amount to over four or flv hundred dollars. This la a mr drop In th bucket, and would be so alight a relief to the trliy gency la th municipal treasury that ft to not worth considering. It hi apparent, therefor, that tha olty need of revenue to not ths real rea aoa for tha passage of tha ordinance. M that were the reason tbs mayor would hav been apprised beforehand of tbs Intention to introduce the measure and It would hav been permitted to take ths usual oourss of reference to oommtttee. But It waa the plain purpose of those who fathered the ordinance to take snap judgment and to rush It through without giving opportunity for debet or us ee ful opposition. If ths srdinancs' become a tow th tout, gamblers and hangers-oa of ths poolrooms who have been largely driven from tha city within tha past two months will soms flocking hack again, and the proprietors of ths poolrooms will reeume ths lucrative business of fleecing their credulous vfothns. Tbs opening of th poolroom will be the first step to ward th resumption of other forms of publto gambling, and ths brief inter regnum of law and order which Portland bs bes enjoying will, be at an end. Among men whs follow' tbs races and who . wars regular habitues sf ths pool" rooms while the were running; there Is a "hot tip" that ths ordinance will be approved by Mayor WUllama and that ths poolrooms will bs hi full blast when ths races open at San Francisco on No vember 14.
