For What It's Worth

The three-ring circus featuring
corruption in the fair city of P o rt

N aturally, m uch of the credit
for the cu rren t situation must go
to the good citizens of the spraw l
ing m etropolis w hich straddles the
W illamette. They w ere the ones
who w ere w ell aw are th at th eir

Am erican city unless they did
som ething to m ake it conspicously
different.
T rue, they almost got started
n the wrong track once when
they elected a wom an m ayor who
p romised to clean up the town
and then fooled them all by doing
so. This erro r was speedily recti
fied, how ever, and then heeding
the siren call of those who fed
them the propoganda th at a clean
town could n ever hope to get
ahead, the voters sent Dorothy
packing and proceeded to make
the bed in w hich they now lie.
They can be rightfully proud of
th eir handiw ork, for P ortland is
definitely going places. Chicago—
