The death of Judge Bellinger will
have a material effect on the land
fraud trials.
A different political bias will be
given the trials. It is useless to
deny that politics cut some figure in
the matter.
The democratic judge will be suc
ceeded by a republican, and there
will be a republican clerk. J
There will be republican commis
sioners to select the grand jury and
the panels for the trial juries.
This is not saying that republicans
will not do their duty, and convict
men regardless of politics, if guilty.
But those who imagine that federal
courts are elevated into an atmo
sphere where politics does non reach

but when it comes to imposing a
$vi graft upon every motor-cycle.
runabout and automobile, those who
enjoy this means of travel and who
are already overburdened with the
great expense of the luxury of such
recreation, may justly complain.
There is not a single local motor
driver, but that willingly pays his
$3 road tax and does not object
to paying a special road tax for the
betterment of the district roads, if
necessary, but draw the line on send
ing an additional $3 up to Salem to
swell some uncertain fund. Just
why this graft was not also applied
to the city chap who sports a fine
buggy and team and is daily monopo
lizing the public thoroughfare has
not been explained. This freak law
enables those who harbor a small
grudge against all motor vehicles
from the fact that thev mav have come
in contact with some certain irration
al and hair-brained chump who had
been let lose on the public highway
to imoose and work all kinds of
hardship upon the law-abiding
reasonable and fair minded motor-
drivers, by showing them no road
way courtesy whatsoever, and forcing
them into court and to the expense
of a trial upon the slightest pretext.
Even- motor-cvele and auto is as
sessed at practically its full value to
its owner, while the buggy driver
and teamster get off with a one-
fourth or less tax valuation. Hence
there is an unjust, unreasonable and
burdensome double taxation imposed
upon the auto and cycle men, which
should be promptly quashed, if pos
sible. Down with the graft.

should be made for incidentals, which
nclude admissions to several attractions

as follows :

Of course much more can be spent by
patronising the various amusement en
terprises. This schedule is on tbe basis
of a five-dav stav at the Fair. All who
can poss ibly do so should spend at least
ten days, however. For these the ex
pense need not be quite so great per day
as it may be possible to get rooms st a
lower rate by engaging tbem lor a week
or more, and the entire expense per day
may be reduced to $2.50. The person
who spends the longer period should
take advantage ol the opportunity to
view some wondertul scenery within s
rhort distance ol Portland. A five-cent
tare by street car takes one to Portland
Heights where a wonderfully fins view
ol the city, the Willamette and Colom
bia rivers and the snow-capped moun
tains mav be enjoyed. Other delightful
twit inexpensive trips include a visit Thy
DU I street car to City Park and a ride on tbe
Willamette river by boat. The coat of
these trips may be deducted irom the
fifty cents a day allotted tor Trail at
tractions and souvenirs, since tbe total
expense lor these features need not ex
ceed tbe $2 50 laid aside in figuring tbe
cost ol the five-dsy trip.
Figuring as above, then, the expensea
ol a rive-lay and a ten-day stay at tha
