': i( of profound oratory. It -was 'the motor bus hearing; and
J J j they came from far and near. Bus men dropped ther
! :f steering wheels and appeared before the Highways com
! i f mittee ;and railroad representatives deserted their offices
! ;1j to' take a hand in the argument.
j"! . ; John F. Logan, attorney for all the bus men, started
j l the tangle. John is just about as tall as Rev. Quig'lcy,
j ?5jiformer pastgr of the La Grande M. E. church, lie we.ua
j - j a Prince Mac coat, and, we won't accuse him of wearing
a celluloid collar, for he is a fighting man, but somehow
I ; J John reminds us of a fellow who used to wear one years
' j j ago. , But he is smart. He has a mind as 'sharp as a frosty
;t morning at North Powder and he is one who never tires,
j ; For over an hour ho ripped up the raihoutls, (lold of all
i ; their former sins, called down the judgment of the people
,lupon their heads and then
: that their death knell had
; ! had dcoreed a new means of trunspJtii'tatiA? aifff flftey nW.st
j-: accept it. In his remarks John said the railroads .pay
j nothing or comparatively nothing for the building and up
Ji keep of the Oregon highways. There is where his foot
' I slipped, for Arthur Spencer, solicitor general for O.-W.,
'A i better known as head of the legal department of that rail

P Arthur is a short, stockly fellow but a power in thought
;and an adopt in the use of the English language. 'Round
and. 'round they went, and it is not unkind to stale that
" the scrap reminded ua of he
lean bird dog in mortal conflict. Before the case went to
' the umpire:; Arthur had showed up John in horrible shape.
! He had the figtiics to show what the railroads have done
in overheads, grading, actual construction and. maintenance
of the highways.
: It was the first open fight between rail lines and motor
busses in Oregon, and it was a good one. Sentiment was
created at that hearing, for the crowd was large and to
bacco smoke was thick.
Glancing over the House and Senate It would appear
that the bus men are in the minority, that there is a strong
disposition not to jnit the motor bus out of business, but
to surround it with heavy restrictions and; make it pay
more- libei ally for the use of the highways. '"' '.
When a preacher and an editor' walk into a, banquet'
hall together there is cause for remarks. But when a
preacher end on editor and Ike Patterson walk in together
it is little wonder that guests almost drop their knives.
Tha's what happened at the Salem Rotary club Wednesday.
Rev. E. G. Keith, pastor of La Grande's Methodist church,
was ft guest of the writer and the two of us became the
guests of Rotary IUe Patterson at a Salem dinner. We
were glad to mix the reverend gentleme.i up with a bunch
of politicians, for it will do him good, even if he does not
think so. Rev. Keith is here visiting his daughter who is
: attending the Willamette university, and incidentally is
enjoying the d'K secrets of political life which he has $o
aptly, taken up rinee becoming a member of the Thitd
House. When Mr. Patterson introduced his guests at the
'.Rotary luncheon he said, "It 'becomes my duty to present
jtq ypu two men whose walks of life are widely apart and
it is, very rarely that this Rotary chit) is permitted to gazj
'upon them together." Then he told who Reverend Keilh
was In a moM genteel and polished maimer, but ih his
description of the writer lie did not use the line Furnace.
