It 'Is to Laugh
Testimony given before the legislative committee investi
satin i'rohibition Commissioner Cleaver's regime shows
that several thousand dollars were spent by Abe Weinberg,
fugitive from justice from New York for a brief period,
until his apprehension and arrest, imported as investigator
ar.d spy for the Anti-Saloon League, in its law enforcement
work. This money was spent in dives and speak-easies, in
bi-ying drinks for bootleggers and in entertaining inmates of
bawdy houses as the evidence shows.
It is disclosed that $1,500 of state funds were turned over
to Superintendent Herwig of the league by Governor Tierce
and Mr. Cleaver at the time of Weinberg s meteoric oper
ations, thoucrh neither Herwig nor Weinberg were employed
by the state in any official capacity. The presumption is, of
course that part of the money Weinberg riotously threw
around in $100 tips to prostitutes and dive habitues came
from the state funds and the balance, Mr. Herwig admits,
"from private sources," meaning probably money contributed
to (".nti-Saloon Lr-eue coffers for law enforcement work, by
citizens, churches and -Sunday schools.
It is a comforting thought to know not only that the
et ite's good money is spent in princely entertainment of the
denizens of the red-light districts, but that also the collections
contributed to the cause of law and order by the pious in
churches are similarly lavished in providing in jazzy joyous-
ness for sinners, as well as soft births for league officials.
We are accustomed to the acceptance of tainted money
coined in dives and brothels and in devious other disreputable
ways for churches and charities, under the theory that its
expenditure is a worthy cause sanctifies and purifies it, but
here is a reversal of form, sanctified money, earned by
honest labor and donated for a lofty purpose, irresponsibly
squandered in shameful revelry to brighten a criminal's
holiday.
It is to laugh as the French say.
TODAY'S CROSS WORD PUZZLE
Extending the Oregon Trunk
Announcement that the northern lines will extend the
Oregon Trunk from Bend south to Klamath Falls "and
lipvond" is the best news that Oreiron has had in years. It
ends the deadlock that has delayed railroad construction and
development of the state.
When the Oregon Trunk was first projected, in 1909, by
James J. Hill and John F. Stevens, it was intended to extend
the line to the Klamath country; thence west to Medford,
with extensions later south into California from Klamath,
nd west from Medford to a terminal at Crescent City, Cali
fornia. Rights of way were secured and cleared from Bend
via Crescent to Fort Klamath and thence to Medford. Con
duction of the Pacific and Eastern was completed from
A' tlford cast to Butte Falls.
The building of the Oregon Trunk precipitated the con
duction of a parallel line by the Harriman lines up the
Deschutes and the expensive rivalry of two lines in the1
country that could support but one A' as halted by Wall
Street financiers, the line to Bend completed as a joint road,
and further extension stopped.
Retirement of James J. Hill from active management and
of John F. Stevens as chief of construction, halted the rail
road program for 15 years. The railroads marked lime. The
Pacific and Eastern was sold and became a private logging
road, and is a feeder for the Southern Pacific. The right-of-way
from Bend to Klamath was abandoned.
Had the plans originated by Stevens been carried out, the
development of Oregon the past decade would have been
rapid. However, it will proceed all the faster for the delay.
The Union Pacific can be expected to act in its usual role
of obstructionist and throw all obstacles possible in the way
of its rivals, but the welfare of the state demands cooperation
between all the, railroads, and joint construction or at least
operation of the proposed lines thereby bringing in all three
railroads at the cost of one.

"What I want to do Kathlyn is
