Peregrinations of Pierce
The Capital Journal prints today a compilation of facts
taken from state official records, concerning the perpetual
peregrinations of Governor Pierce, Hither and thither, for
wards and backwards, darting hero and doubling there,
frenziedly, tirelessly, joyously travels the grand lecturer on
politics, in his merry-go-round swing about the circle, which
has no beginning and no end.
The best part of it ail, is that all these multitudinous little
journeys to the pulpits of churches, the rostrums of granges,
the banquets of lodges, the ladies' sewing societies and
bazaars, and from whatever source comes an invitation, are
made at taxpayers expense, if a convention is to be opened,
a great man to be paraded, or a county fair needs a side-show,
a call brings the grand lecturer and the people pay the
freight. I
Official life is an endless political campaign to tlicj
governor. Cares of office sit lightly upon him. In August,!
the month of the prison break and manhunt, the governor's
presence graced the capital city just six days out of the
thirty-one and not all day then. This careful, painstaking
attention to business is reflected in the conduct of institutions
iie comrois, sucn as me penitentiary, ush and game
matters, etc.
The executive in his travels, as a popular song has it, is
forever blowing bub hies, bubbles In the nlr.
Bubbles of tax reduction, bubbles of income taxation,
bubbles of severance taxes, bubbles of Ku Kluxism, bubbles
of power projects, bubbles of prohibition, bubbles of primrose
promises, irridiscent, pretty bubbles, that burst as soon aa
blown but while he furnishes the soft soap, the people
pay for it.
Tis county fair season and the governor is competing with
the double headed calf as the piece !' resistance of the show,
which perhaps, is fair enough, as many call the executive
two faced. But, ladies and gentlemen, the governor is at
your service, at state expense. A wire to wandering Walter,
and puff! he is off as the thistle-down in autumn breeze.
your profession, dearest," aha wrote
him. "Couldn't we begin now to
establish our home, too? I'm aorry
that I wu so disagreeable to you
before I left but Z couldn't help it,
somehow; I was eo anxious to
make you ee how I felt! I just
want to be with you, Andy; I don't
want to have our time ao much tak
en up with other people that we
hardly ever see each other alone."
"Though I'd rather he'd be talc
en up with his business acquaint
ances as he Is, than with other
women." she told herself as she
addressed the letter, recalling Keith
and h to Interest In lao bel Dra k e.
As tf they were part of the thought
she heard voices suddenly on the
other side of the hedge, where the
trolf links lay, and the voices were
Isabel's and Keith's.
"You're the most wonderful man
I've ever known," Isobel was any
dig softly. "Juat wonderful. And
you've been bo kind to lonely little
me. I doti't see how a man who has
such a remarkable grasp of finan
cial matters and Is ho tremendous-
ly flucces.'iful In business can un
derstand a woman so beautifully
the two Just don't go together."
Patricia's mouth curled sarcas
tically. So this was how Isobel did
it.
'I don't know about that," Keith
answered uneasily. "The business.
I mean. I've Just walked Into a deal
got nn option on some land, and
bought some mines and if a cer
tain railroad doesn't go through
there. It looks ns it I'd lose every
cent I've got."
Patricia!! heart stood still. She
had not realized that so much
depended on Gregory Hewitt's
building that railroad. Oil, no mat
tor who happened to her, she'd
have to telehono him now!

STATE BIG SKATING
RINK FOR GOVERNOR
PAID PUBLIC FUNDS
(Continued from page one)
A Maiden's Repast
The fair ladies of tin; court of bluTf King Hal must have
had healthy appetites, in keeping with that of that husky
monarch himself, according to a copy of an order of the
court providing for one day's provision for one of the ladies
of honor attendant uMn Catherine of Aragnn, as printed in
"Varia" a miscellany of prose and poelry published by Miss
Eleanor liroughani. There was evidently no time wasted
figuring calories for a balanced ration, and no qualms over
the evil effects of the demon rum.
This order of King Henry VIII was dated July 16, 1522,
and affords a glimpse of nobility's diet 400 years or so ago.
It reads as follows :

Bounteous supplies of roast beef for breakfast and dinner,
roast mutton for supper, three and a half gallons of ale and
half a gallon of wine a day testify as to the regard royalty

broiled lobster and her cock-tails as a poor piker.
economy when the economy does
not apply to himself and' makes
no effort In his Journcyings to
conserve time, mileage or-money.
A close friend of tho governor, a
white-haired democrat whom
I'ierco appoints to more offices
titan anybody else, is said to have
told an audience rocently that the
governor makea at his own ex
pense all his trips to address law
enforcement meetings. -The rec
ords prove otherwise.
Exnense Fund Elastic.
Under recent legislation Gov
ernor l'ierce has a freer hand lhau
any of his predecessors in tipping
bell boys and waiters and paying
ror hotel dinners, cab fare and
railroad tickets. The 1919 legis
lature appropriated $1000 for the
governor's traveling expenses for
two years, iho 1921 session al
lowed $11000 for two years and
the 1923 session, Die first under
Governor Pierce, allowed the 6ame
amount. The 1925 session, the
second legislature under Governor
Pierce, did not Itemize any cer
tain sum for traveling expenses,
but appropriated $7000 for tho
general expenses of the governor's
offices, including travel and all
other contingent expenses aside
from salaries. So now the gov
ernor may. spend as much of the
000 as ho desires for traveling
purposes. The county fair season
is on now and it is going taut. Up
to August 31 the governor himself
had cpent 1799.92 for traveling
alone, while the traveling expenses
of W. A. Delzell, the governor's
prive.te secrotary, up to August 15,
this year, were $241. 7G additional,
making a total of $1041.08 In
traveling expenses for the gov
ernor's office up to September 1

Extravaeanes Uneaualled.
A comparison of Pierce's spend
ing record with those of Governors
Wlthycombe and Olcott falls to
reflect to the credit of Pierce.
While Governor Pierce In aeren
and one-half months has spent
$i041.tB In traveling costs. Gov
ernor Wlthycombe in the two
years of 7.915 and 1916 spent only
$999.94, and In 1917 and 1918
only $756.08. Governor Olcott, In
the 23 months that he served in
1918 and 1920 spent only $876.49
in traveling. While the record
shows a traveling expenditure of
$2649.38 by Olcott during the two
years of 1921 and 1922, $237.80
of tills was spent by Acting Gov
ernor ltitnor, $529.77 was spent
by Olcott In attenufng a governors
national conference In the east
and $-150 went to pay the travel
ing expenses of Mr, nnd Mch. W.
r,. Kuser, who came to Oregon
from Iowa to become heads of the
otato training schol. This leaves
only $1431.81 that was spent by
Olcott in the two years for travel
within the state. Not only are
the traveling expenses of Pierce
during bis third year In office ex
ceeding those of any predecessor
by a very wido margin, but the
record gIiows that in 1923 and
1924, his first two years In office,
he spent $2341.98.
How the governor knocks around
the state, backtracking and dupli
cating trips within a few days'
time, without regard to economy
of time or money, is shown In tho
records.
Backtracking Costlv.
On April 18 he was at The Dalles
He returned to Salem and Albany,
tlun backtracked to eastern Ore-
on nnd was in Pendleton, April
2: then, lo! two days later ho W06
in the extreme south of the stato

at Jacksonville, on the 28th ho
was at Ashland again, the next
dav In Portland lo address the
on May 1.
On May li the governor made
a couple ot appearances at Long
view, Wash., going via Rainier,
Or. Two days later he was at
Rainier again for a lav enforce
ment speech. Both trips to Rain
ier, the records show, were charged
to the state.
The governor's record the latter
part ot June was marvelous. On
June 18 he was In Eugene for ft
speech at the University high
school. On June 16. 17, 18 and
19 he was In Portland and on the
latter date retracked sonim to
Howburg for a talk at Looking
Glass school near that place. The
next day, Juno 20, Pierce return
ed to Portland, and the very next
day. Juno 21, repeated the south
ern Oregon route to Medford. All
this, according to tho governors
expense statement, was uiltctai
business."
Waste Is Annarent.
July 3 the governor was again
nt Tluo Dalles. Ho returned to
tho Willametto valley and on July
9 and 10 was at Baker, Outariu
and La Grande in eastern Oregon
ain. returned to the W illamette
valley for a speech at an Oakridge
community meeting in Linn coun
ty on July 17. - On July 19 ue
honnod back Into the eastern part
of the state to talk to tho Luther
an Brotherhood at Bend. Back to
Portland he cams again, dellvored
an oration before a poultry meet
ing at Corvallio on July 22, a
Lutheran meeting at Gladstone on
July 23, was back In La Grande
again on tho 24th for a talk to
the Woodmen ou July 25, tin'i
southern Oregon was again enrich
ed by his presence July 26 when
he appeared with a speech before
a community meeting at Drain. All
this was charged to the taxpayers
whom Pierce promieed to save.
From August 1 to iz Pierco was
:iwuy from his office In Salem con
tinuously. From August 5 to 12
bo -was in eastern Oregon. Al! of
be was in Bend and Prlneville-
August 20 he lumped back to Eu
gene and the same day returned ro
Salem. August 21 he was In
Marshfleld and remained in the
Coos Bay country four days, re
turning to Portland the 24th. On
August 28. EuTane was again vis
ited and the 29th Pierce was once
more in Rosebuig. Of the 31 days
in August six were spent in Sa
lem. Buvs Tickets in Bunches.
Tho governor finds It tedious to
buy a ticket each time he makes
a trip, so be buys them in blocks
On Mar 13 ho bought a 30-lidt
ticket for $33, and a 3000-mile
tickei for $90.
