LICKNSES FOR OLD CARS
ANE of the most", novel expert'
v menu in municipal government
was inaugurated in Cleveland the
first of the year. The new mayor
was on that date inducted into office
and with .him a cabinet in whose
selection he played a very small part.
The mayor was elected without a
party, without a platform and with
out an organization. He made no
speeches, no public appearances and
claims to have made no promises.
He has no political debts, to pay.
His election was a shock. And his
novel plan of selecting his cabinet
known as directors and of whom
there are seven, was another. In
stead of appointing a director of law
of his acquaintance, he asked the
Cleveland Bar association for a list
of attorneys whom it would recom
mena ror the position. From the
list he picked his director. He re
quested the Civic league to recom
mena a private secretary. He ap
pointed the secretary of the league
as his personal aide. He went to the
Bankers association for his director
of finance. From the recommenda
tions he made his choice. The build
era' exchange and engineering socie
ties of the city suggested his director
of public utilities; philanthropic bod
ies, his director of public welfare,
and various other civic bodies bis di
rector of public service and of parks

Portland was natarally disappointed

LAW VIOLATION IN TITK NEWS
Objection to Tone, of Writers in Report-.
Portland. Jan. 6. To the Editor at
The Journal It has seemed to this
writer ever aince prohibition went Into
effect, that the majority of the papers
commenting on the effects of prohibition
have rather sought to minimise any rood
effects there may have been and to In
still in the minds of the public that pro
hibition cannot be enforced. Of course
the citizens of Portland know better
than that, ror here in Portland the pro
hibition law la about as well enforced as
the law against burglary, theft of auto
mobiles, or many other violations of
law; and yet there are no mean insinu
ations of the, failure to enforce these
latter laws.
But what I most desire to draw your
attention to is the article on page 4 of

What I am concerned about Is. after
all the hard work we have done and
after the money we have paid out to

There is much up-state opposition to

opposition, based on the sincere convic

to which we can invite our friends is
not the thing for Oregon to do In the

Hood River News: As a result of the
decision reached by our legislators in
special session, the only way Portland
can secure state-wide particiDatian -in
the 1925 fair exclusive of private sub
scriptions to stock wui be by a majority
vote of the peopla As we see it, any
appeal to the supreme court can onlv
confirm the action of Mr. Ritner, who
rexusea to sign tne bill because the sen
ate ukz not pass it by the majority speci
fied in the constitution. The promoters
declare that the people of the state want
the exposition and, if they believe this,
they should have no difficulty in invok
ing the referendum and placing a bill on
the ballot next fan. The fight :n- the
legislature proved one thing conclusively
and that is that some of our legislators
are beginning to recognise that the peo
ple are getting just a little tired of in
creasing taxation. That, in itself, is a
neaiujy sign. : - .
Athena Press: Except as it insnired
his pride "in the 'Oregon commonwealth,
the taxpayer in the state at large would
profit little from the 1925 exnosition.
The Portland property owner and busi
ness man would reao direct benefit from
the stimulus such an elaborate ' event
weald give to Portland, but no other
Oregon city need expect similar resulta
Fcr Portland the fair Win be a profitable
business enterprise for the rest of the
state - merely a glorified dtvertlsement.
We have an idea that the diversion
would be worth the money, too, to those
subject to the proposed income tax.
Weston Leader ? Senator Ritner and
his colleagues from this part of the state
who presented -a firm and unyielding
rront against what must have been an
extraordinary pressure brought to bear
from ; Multnomah county, deserve the
gratitude of their constituents, nine, oat
of 19 of whom are unquestionably of the
belief that Portland should pay for her
own world's fair if she wants one. Most
