Free Joy Rides
On account of the misuse and abuse of state owned
automobiles by state officials and employes, the0 recent
legislative session passed a law forbidding political campaign
ing and joyriding in state cars and penalyzing use except on
state business. The law reads:
It shall be unlawful for any person or persons to drive, operate
or use, or to authorize or permit any person or persons to drive,
operuto or rise any automobile, motor truck or other motor or horse
drawn vehicle owned by the fltato of OrcKon for any private purpose.
Violations are punished by fines of from ?25 to ?100.
The legislature thought it was economizing, but you can't
beat the bureaucracy. They are always a little ahead. As a
result of the new law, two officials have been given by the
board of control salary raises of $1,000 a year each, another
one $500 a year, and another $200 a year, so that they can
provide automobiles of their own for their private use. So
here is a bare beginning at economizing and the state is out
$2,700 a year.
Dr. H. D. McNary, superintendent of the Eastern Oregon
insane asylum started the job-holders auto drive by declar
ing, that since his residence was several miles irom
Pendleton, it was necessary that he use the hospital car for
personal business trips and that he would resign if denied
that privilege, with his salary remaining at the old figure.
The board acquicscd, and having raised his salary from
$3,000 to $1,000 a year for the doctor's private business and
pleasure riding, of course had to grant Dr. R. ,E. L. Steiner,
superintendent of the Western Oregon insane asylum the
same raise.
Later for similar reasons Dr. G. C. Bellinger, superin
tendent of the Tuberculosis hospital, was granted a $500
increase, from $2,500 a year to $.1,000 and Dr. J. N. Smith,
supei'inteiHleiil of the Feeble-Minded institution a $200 raise.
Just why an insane asylum head should be allowed double
the amount for personal auto of a t. b. hospital head and
five times the amount of another institution head, was not
explained by the state board of economists. Perhaps Dr.
McNary drives a Pierce Arrow while a 1'ortl is consuieicu
good enough for Dr. Smith.
Joy riding at stale expense may be a legitimate
perquisite of a stale official. It seems to be so recognized.
It may be, as Dr. McNary indicated, more important than
the job. But we are inclined to think that the doctor was
bluffing. At any rale, applications for positions are many,
and the board might have, called his bluff, as it has been
forced to call similar bluffs since by numerous other officials,
with the results that no resignations have been forthcoming.
for as Jefferson remarked of officeholders, lew Hie ami
none resign."
The officials may have been and perhaps were entitled
to salary increases, but on other grounds than those
advanced. If granted as reward for service, efficiency and
competency, there could have been little criticism, but the
admission that it is the duly of the stale to reimburse
officials for personal business and pleasure riding is
ridiculous.
m
Science Silenced
The ruling of Judge John T. Kaulslon, trial judge in the
Scopes anti-evolution trial at Dayton, Tennessee, barring the
testimony of scientists upon evolution, insures Rcoopea con
viction and makes the trial only a formality. With a funda
mentalist judge and jury and with popular sentiment in
Tennessee overwhelmingly against evolution, this result was
foreordained anyway. The real trial will not begin until
Scopes is sentenced and his appeal upon the constitutionality
of the Tennessee statute heard.
To the average Tennesseoan, the truth of the word of God
is on trial, not Scopes, and its sacredness must be upheld at
all cost To him the believer in evolution is an infidel to
be publicly rebuked, and science merely a device of the devil.
