THE vested interest in the pinball operation is not just the poolhall or restaurant proprietor-who may give it floor space. The machines are owned and leased by syndi cates Their manufacture is pretty well centralized in the hands of one firm. The owners go as far as the local'condi tions will permit. If pinball is. all that can be put over in a .town, that machine goes in; if slot machines are -tolerated, in go the slots. The syndicate managers keep tight control, and of course get a large share of the loot Moreover, as the Eugene Register-Guard points out, they escape air local taxation, except for the trivial fee sometimes levied by city councils against the boards. The Guard says: ' The public forgets the huge rakeoff which goes to the Big Shots la the background. It forgets to put proper taxes on an Industry which with practically no investment does a gross more than halt as big as the largest utility company In Oregon which pays over a million taxes annually." . Naturally the syndicate operators will Hot take defeat lying down So there will be a muster of high-powered attor neys to defend the devices when they are attacked in court by Assistant General Moody. The latter is fully competent to join the issue before the courts with them; and is no doubt avrare of, the character of the opposition which, will confront hira. . - -: 'A k .lln the case of theatre bank night, this scheme was worked out by some men in Denver, operators of a small theatre, who wanted to stimulate patronage. They believe they have worked out a scheme which will escape laws against lottery Jay working out of a charge for- direct consideration. Whether that will hold in Oregon is the question to be tested. The bank night idea is copyrighted, and theatres oper ating under it are reported to pay $25 a night for the priv - ilege. The Denver owners of the copyright are said to be cleaningvup $30,000 a year on the operationNaturally they will not be put out of business without a bitter fight. " All this promotion roots in the desire of the-human.an-inial to get something for nothing. He wants to profit with out work, even at the expense of some one else. History has long demonstrated the social evil of gambling and of public lotteries. They prey on the. weak; they give distorted ideas of wealth, and distribute wealth" with the greatest unfairness. Moreover as is the" case with slot' machines, the poor fool who plays them scarcely has a chance,-the winnings being merely loot for the operators. As the cases over pinball machines and bank night are now in court, this paper -offers no comment as to whether they are illegal or not ; but it does recognize the hard court fight which lies ahead before they will be prohib ited, if illegal. ."- -- : -; .

Governors must die, of course, the same as xommoners. But if Olson passes now, much more passes. ; For Olson is a candidate for United States senator from Minnesota. He is the spearhead of the current political move ment in the northwest, operating under the label of the farm er-labor party. He has been 1910, as a potential candidate ; labor party. The-success of politics has been largely due strength. So if Olson dies now the political scene will change. The movement will go on, though perhaps the name will be different.

Celebrate Territorial Davs O REGON CITY is celebrating "territorial days" Friday lU and Saturday, Aug. 21-22. There is no more appropriate - place for such a celebration. It was the first territorial capital. Its location at the falls of "Wallamet" made it the depot of trade of the early day. that The Oregon Statesman picked it out for a place in which to be born, back in 1851. Unfortunately for Oregon City the nature which gave it early importance, cribbed it on a nar jrow leJ2 between the river and thevcliff and it was soon out distanced by the rising city of The enterprising Enterprise has published an historical edition commemorative of the occasion, which is full of good history and appropriate illustration.

Interpreting r tlieJJews By MARK SULLIVAN WASHINGTON, Aug. 20.--The struggle between the old America Federation et Labor, and the new "committee lor Industrial organ ization" ; will need to be un dent o o d by those who try to follow the polit ical - campaign with adequate knowledge ot aU the factors.: -Ordinarily this I struggle within Mi'tMiu the field would hare no relation to politics. Looked at as a labor and indust rial matter only. It Is 'a conflict between two types of labor un ion. The existing American Fed eration of Labor believe" la craft unions, that Is, unions which take in the-members of a trade all.orer the country. For example the mt- chlnlsts' union takes in machin ists In every Industry and plant, wherever they happen to be. And so with the carpenters' union and all the others. Thus in any plant or Industry there" may be several different unions,- though all ar In" affiliation with the American Federation of Labor. ; On the other hand, the new C.I.O. proposes there shall be one union for each industry. Within any automobile plant, all employ ees, skilled and- unskilled, would belong to one union. This, In turn. would be. part of a union of all automobile workers in all auto mobile plants. It It a "mass un ion", conception, a "one big un ion' conception. . So'far as the conflict is confin ed within the field of labor. If; is a difference of opinion about tech nique, about which, type of organ ization Is best. The, old A.F. of I, under President William Green, is organized along the lines of craft unions. The A.F. of L. lead ers think the mass type of union Is unsuited to most industries. They have seen, during 75 years," many attempts to organize -labor on thevone big union pattern and they hare seen these fall. Mean time they have seen the AJT. of L based chiefly on craft : unions. maintain Itself and grow. uui me, eomiict is not merely within organised labor- nor be tween labor leaders. The organ izer of the new committee on in dustrial organization. John L- Lewis. is a strong partisan of President Roosevelt and the new deal. His favor for Mr. Roosevelt Is frank and outspoken; it is made deliberately conspicuous. It is taken for granted he will deliver to. Mr. Roosevelt much of the large vote of miners in the doubt ful states of Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and Illinois. - That the administration apprec iates" Mr.' Lewis support 'e o e s without saying. But gratitude U not theonly reason why many in tne administration favor Mr. Lew is' new C.I.O. : ., - J; .' Some in; the administration dream of a labor , party in Am erica, to have the same Important piace in politics tbat labor part ies havfc in some European coun tries. Such a party would supplant or absorb the present democratic party.' Those who dream- a- labor party la America think that Mr. Lewis' new C.I.O., If successful. would be the nucleus of it. Con sequently they favor Mr. Lewis In his present struggle against the American Federation of Labor. - Some of the more radical with in the administration dream some thing .even broader than a labor party. They contemplate, "as Erof- essor Tugwell put it In a speech at-Los Angeles last October, "a farmer-worker alliance in this country "which will carry an be fore it" they dream a wholly new form of society analogues to -the Russian one. They dream a form of society in -which only -workers and farmers shall be recognized. in wnicn mere shall be no private ownership of Industry .or business. In which the functions now car ried -on by . private business men and corporations shall be carried on by the government. Those who dream thus think that jar. Lew is C.I.O.. If successful, would be a step toward the goal they aim I It would be hard to say how far Mr. Lewis goes along with the radicals within the administration. Ljiis ideas may not coincide with theirs to any great extent. . He may aim -merely I towards a new big and powerful union of labor, and toward beating down the ex isting American Federation ef Labor. At the same time.- Mr. I Lewis is very ambitious and ag gressive, even rutniess. it is pos sible he may to some extent share the dream of the. radicals In the administration: He is close to leading figures in the administra tion. . In . any event. In . the present struggle between Mr. Lewis new C.LO. and the old American Fed eration of Labor, much of the ad ministration is sympathetic to Mr. Lewis and ;his C.I.O. Practically all thorough-going new dealers think of the old American. Fed eration as an old fashioned, anti revolutionary, conservative organ ization which is content with the existing order of society and has no purpose beyond getting for labor a constantly larger share ot the fruits of industry. " While many within the admini stration favor Mr. Lewis' C.I.O., their sympathy, so far is kept be neath the surface. They keep in mind the presidential campaign. They want the votes of both wings of labor for. Mr. Roosevelt and they wish, to aroid giving open cause for offense to the old Am erican Federation. Until after the election, the administration policy is to walk a tight rope between the contending organizations. But there can be little doubt where the sympathy of the administra tion lies. One person high in 'the administration recently took an extraordinary- step designed to help Mr. Lewis C.LO. in its ef fort to displace the American Federation. With the struggle as tense as it is between C.I.O. and the A.F. of L.. attempts to appear neutral wll be difficult. - j : ; '. ....l-Bils:forBreaIiiasi: : . - ... . By R, J.

Throughout- the country it baa been noticed that tvi number of cases ' reported . Is considerably higher, than the average.- : I am always unhappy over an unusual prevalence of this disease.' In spite of the universal belief that it is an unimportant disease, measles is -a serfous ailment . of childhood. It is wise to guard against this menace, but of all the common "catching" diseases of children, measles Is the most difa cult to controL :. Few realize the Importance of measles as a cause of death. Too often It is accepted as something trivial. But experts say that the number of deaths ; caused - by measles is actually three times treater than the official figures. This conclusion is founded on the fact that three-fourUui of the deaths from pneumonia are found in the age group, of children under Ave years of age. We must recall, too, that pneumonia Is a common complication of measles. So if each of these deaths were investigated, it Is probable that measles would be found as the primary factor in a 'vast number of instances.. ; Hay Prove Serioos) " Never set about It deliberately to expoae a child to measles. Bear tri mind that an ailment which may appear as a trivial illness in one child may terminate seriously in another. There is no truth in the old-fashioned Idea that every child must have measles. - i The child who gets It should' be isolated and kept away from others. He should not be permitted to play with, other 'children until his symptoms have disappeared. If a child has been exposed to measles it is well immediately to consult the doctor. ! - Often the Injection of the blood of one who has recently had the disease, or the blood from either parent, win help make the attack mild and prevent complications. Unfortunately, this procedure ta of little value la controlling the spread of the disease. Everyone should be familiar with the early signs of measles. As a rule the young sufferer first has symptoms similar to -a head cold. He complains of Inflamed eyes and has a slight cough and fever. The disease Is most contagious at this time and la usually overlooked until the rash appears. This does not come out until about the sixth or seventh day. The rash is first seen along the sides of the face, behind the ears and ra the neck, v - . -' The child should be kept fat bed, with the eyes protected from glar ing lights.
