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

paying a cent toward the upkeep of the
roads they use.
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.

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. -

on the bill :

Edwards, Farrell, Hall, Hare. Moser.
