other day vith but one interruption' and' that 'was' when
Senator Charles 'Hall of Coos Bay' introduced a joint reso
lution to have the state legislature appoint a committee
of five to . confer with California and Washington in an
endeavor to establish uniform laws for automobiles ami
automobile traffic. The resolution ' was swimming nlonjf
like an airship in a clear sky until the paragraph was
reached which empowered the committee to spend money
from the state treasury for its expenses and clerk hire.
It was Senator Joseph of Multnomah who saw, or
thought he saw a junketing trip fur I bill and other mem
bers who would be appointed, at the state's"cxpeiisc,' and

ran Across L. 11. McMahan of Salem. Last session he was!

tin cvery-dny life. He insists) that life today is four-fifths
t bunk and it is time for someone to ask people to ttcconm
natural and refuse to accept titles. "Only llii- serf buu

has been bred out of me."
lie is making a good judge, just as the Evening Ob
server predicted be would do when I'ieice appointed him.
Sometimes he waves the law to one side and bands out
justice just as he sees it without the assistance of attor
