WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 23, 192i. Measure Designed to Legalize Betting on Horse Racing in Oregon Defeated in Senate THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAL," PORTLAND. OREGON 1 GAMBLING PHASE OF RACING BILL WARMLY DEBATED State. House. Salem. Feb. 2S. Pitying the poniea at the Oregon State fair la not to be a legitimate sport with the approval of the state legislature. The senate Tuesday night by a vote of 1 to 11, voted to indefinitely postpone Represen tative McFarland'a bill which would have legalized betting on horse rac ing; the same to be under the con trol of a state racing commission of five member to be named by the governor. "Although the bill was represented as having the backing of the state fair board who had requested its introduc tion, this was disputed during the con sideration of the measure last night by Senator Staples, who declared that three of the members of the board had told him they were opposed to the bill. . j STAPLES FIGHTS BILL Staples declared his unqualified oppo sition to any move on the part of the legislature which would place the state on record as approving gambling, es pecially at the state fair, which was an educational institution and should be kept free from such contaminating In fluences. The Purebred Livestock asso ciation of Oregon, he said, had declared its opposition to any . games of chance at the fair. Senator Eddy characterised the meas ure as one of the most audacious pieces of legislation brought into the senate at the present session. "It is a most cold blooded attempt to convert the state fair into a gambling den." he charged. MOSEH BACKS MKASCKE . Senator Moser declared his approval of the measure, 'Yegardless of what the . other senators or the audience thought" of his stand. This ill, -he Insisted, was merely an attempt to take the crooked ness out of the racing game by placing it under the Jurisdiction of a commis sion. It would be better to have some honest games of chance at the fair, he declared, than a lot of crooked gam bling, as was now the case. . Senator Dennis presented an oratorical plea for the return to "those good old days" of real red blooded Americans in asking for favorable consideration of the McFarland bill. The young men of today, he insisted, were living in an age of oppression and coercion, which was making of them a race of molly coddles. "It was high time that the American nation provided some legitimate sport which would put the tingle back into the blood and give the voting man a chance to be a 'real fellow once more," ' he .declared. EDDT BEFCTES CHARGE Senator Eddy refuted the charge of Dennis that the young men of today were inclined to the mollycoddle type by pointing to the young men of this na tion who served in the late war. The nation, Eddy declared, was engaged in raising the standard of morals of its young people and he did not propose that Oregon should appropriate money to foster gambling at a state Institu tion. The McFarland bill,- he declared, attempted to atone in part for its sins by offering a pittance of the revenues derived under its provisions to charity. Klcven senators, against Senator Ed dy's motloh to Indefinitely postpone the bill and in support of the measure were : Dennis, Hall, Hare, Jones, Lachmund, Moser, Patterson, Robertson, Ryan, Up ton and Ritner. Bill for Regulation Of Trucks Creates Storm, But Passes State House, Salem, Feb. 23. The rail roads of Oregon came in for their com mendation as the "empire builders" of the state and ttfeir censure as the th rot tip rs of traffic competition ; the automo bile stages and truck lines were com mended js liberators of the excessive tariff rieden , public and condemned as disturbers of the organized transporta tion of the state, while the house of rep resentatives itself was-subject to a ver bal thrashing for its practice of attach ing the emergency clause to every class of legislation, all In the 80-mlnutes dis cussion on the floor of the house Tues day night, when senate bill 24, by Moser, was passed with only nine negative votes. The bill provides for regulation of trucks and automobile stage lines and places them under the supervision -of the state public service commission.. Termed by Representative Childs as a "rotten bill" and condemned by half a dozen other members seeking to regulate the automobile passenger., and freight inter-city lines out of business In faVor of the railroads, the bill found Its defense in the claim that it is unjust to compel the railroads to pay a large Bhare of the state taxes and submit to detailed regu lation while the 'jitneys' are allowed to mat Are You When Old Age Out of toa average Statistics Show ' Our Old Age Profit Sharing Endowment t 65 is just what you want Ask our agents to see it. ftcgonlifc A.

An amendment sought by Representa tive Hlndman of Multnomah would elim inate trucking lines operating between cities Jess than 10 miles apart from, the provisions of the act. . Representative Sheldon of Jackson, citing the experience of his county with stage lines operated between -Medford and Grants Pass and Ashland, declared that the need of regulation was proved. He pointed out that regulation meant better service, absence of excessive pas senger rates, protection of the legitimate stage operators from "fly-by-night" stage lines and protection' of the trav eling public in case of accident. Irrigation Contract Claims in Tumalo Project Defeated State House, Salem, Or., Feb. 23. Senator Bell's bill, No. 235, designed to recognize the claims of some 35 contract holders in the Tumalo irrigation project, whose contracts were Invalidated by the time limit prescribed by law, went down to defeat when it failed to receive the required constitutional majority In the house Tuesday afternoon. The rep resentatives split evenly on the ballot, the roll call showing 27 in favor and 27 opposed to the bill, i Representative Kayled the opposition in its fight on tHe floor, declaring that the Intent of the bill was simply to re imburse holders of worthless contracts which became invalidated at the ex piration of the legal time limit, July 1, 1917. The bill sought to extend thU) time limit to. January 1. 1921, charging that ' the state enticed settlers to. the project, which later proved to be a fail ure. Gallagher declared that the state owed an obligaticn to these settlers and that means for them to realize on their contracts should be provided. Col, Mercer Given Pen by Which Bill Is Signed by Olcott State House, Salem, Feb. 23. Colonel Mercer, the veteran chaplain of the state senate, is the proud possessor of the pen with which Governor Olcott signed the "Double Election Board bill," which has been enacted by the present session. This bill was the work of Colonel Mer cer, who drafted it after much study and had it introduced in the senate. It provides generally trat there shall be a double shift in the election boards dur ing elections held in the state and that the work of counting the ballots shall begin before the polls are closed. The purpose of the bill is to expedite the count and at the same time to so divide this work that the election officials will not be so hard driven . and therefore not so liable to make mistakes. Governor Olcott signed the bill this morning and presented the pen. with which he Indorsed the bill to Colonel Mercer. HOUSE Bills Passed by Honse H.

Insurance Company Oldest la Paelfie Northwest ', PARTY BALLOT IS DEFEATED IN HOT SESSION IN SENATE State House, Salem, Feb. 23. Lies were passed, charges and counter charges were hurled, and JuEt as promptly denied. - The galleries packed with sensation-seeking humanity added i their quota, to the general confusion which prevailed on the floor of the senate. And when order had been restored and the casualties counted, senate bill 53 of the special session of 1920, the justly Infamous straight party baljot bill, was writhing In the last throes of its death agony. LACK TWO-THIRDS MAJORITY Seventeen senators, including Norblad, who changed his vote upon the demand of Senator, Dennis, who insisted that he deliver as promised, had arrayed them selves in defense of the bill and had been counted as enemies of the Oregon eletion system. But this was three short of the two-thirds vote necessary to pass the bill over the veto of Governor Olcott and its puny efforts at recuperation from the effects of the executive veto admin istered shortly after adjournment of the special session were unavailing. Attention was- first publicly directed toward this measure last Saturday by Senator Joseph, who wanted to know the whereabouts of the Bin. When informed by Senator Moser that it was safe in the hands of the judiciary committee Joseph demanded that it be produced forthwith. NOT RECOMMENDED Moser assured the senate the bill would be forthcoming in due time, upon which Joseph insisted upon immediate delivery of the measure, declaring that Moser had delayed its appearance long enough already and charging that the cnalrman of the judiciary committee had held up the bill for the purpose of trading on it in exchange for support of other measures. Moser refused to com ply with the demands of Joseph, and the senate upheld him in his refusal. Joseph renewed his demands again Monday with the same result. Tuesday afternoon the measure was hauled forth from its hiding place in a last feble ef fort to undermine the Oregon sy stent Although It was reported out by the entire judiciary committee, that com mittee did not see fit to stand sponsor for Its debut Into polite society, and It carried no recommendation, either fav orable or. unfavorable. SIOSEB UPHOLDS BILL . ' Senator Moser, however, arose to de fend the measure, which he declared to be a good one that "ought to pass, not withstanding the veto of the governor.' Moser said some of the senators who believed In the provisions of the bill would not vote for it because they lacked the courage of their convictions. The measure, he insisted, would not deprive any person of the right of vot ing as he wished, while, at the same time, it would result in' the saving of thousands of dollars in election ex penses through simplifying the ballot system. Moser denied that he ever had asked anyone to vote for the bill except upon their aproval of the principles contained therein. MOSER DENOUNCED Senator Eberhard, also a member of the judiciary committee, followed Moser in befriending the measure, although he insisted that If he had been allowed to use his judgment in the matter the bill would not have been brought out at this time but wuld have been permitted to sleep on undisturbed in the bosom of the committee. There were 19 senators who would vote for the bill if it could be passed, Eber hard insisted, but he doGbted if it had that many friends under the present ad verse circumstances. It was at this stage of the argument that Senator Joseph found an opportu nity to voice his sentiments both with respect to the bill and to Senator Moser. "This is a most iniquitous bill aimed at the Oregon ballot system," Joseph declared. "It Is public knowledge that Senator Moser . has been carrying this measure around in his pocket ever since the open ing of this session In order to' trade for enough votes to insure its passage," he charged. IEEE OITE A5D TAKE, "That's a lie, that's a lie," Moser yelled. "You lied when you promised to bring this bill out last Saturday," Joseph con tinued, directing his remarks at Moser. "This bill is as rotten as Moser's con duct has been," he concluded. Senator Norblad declared his disap proval of the bill, having operated under a similar measure in Michigan. , He as serted his intention to vote against it. He did vote against it but was compelled to change his vote in favor of tsfe bill when Senator Dennis demanded that he make good his promise to support the measure. Senators Gill and Thomas spoke against -the bill and then Moser arose to a point of personal privilege in re futing the charges of trading and barter ing made by Joseph. "The senator knew when he made that .statement that it was false," ' Moser de clared." "I have never asked any senator to vote for" this bill except to express his honest convictions on the subject." "The conduct of the senator from Mult nomah county (Joseph) fully bears out the record he has made in this and other legislatures. Joseph, he insisted, had only two am bitions In life, one of .which was to raise cain in the senate and he turned to the senate for confirmation of his opinion that Joseph had fairly succeeded in real izing this ambition. - Roll call showed the following lineup on the bill : Ayes Banks.
