Byron
Portland Horse Show
It is reported that the Pacific International Live Stock
Exposition if it opens this fall will not hold its night horse
show. This no doubt accounts for the announcement of
Aaron Frank that his horses will be exhibited In the east
and not here this fall.
About two years ago the Capital Journal predicted this
state of affairs. It pointed out that the Pacific International
was organized and first supported on the theory that it would
stimulate and promote better live stock breeding in the Pa
cific northwest. In the beginning it did hold promise of
success in this direction. The early exhibitors were largely
drawn from local people who met their fellow exhibitors
upon an equal basis and shared with them their successes.
The horse show was supported by amateurs from many
points British Columbia to Southern California.
Not satisfied with holding things as they were and thus
extend encouragement to amateurs in all lines the manage
ment of the institution started out to make it the biggest
show on earth. It filled its board of directors with bankers,
utility heads and society leaders who didn't know a horse
from a mule. Under such management large purses were
raised and offered to eastern exhibitors who were prompt
to come and take the money. Along with many prominent
exhibitors came the "gypsy" show man arid horse trader.
As a result the amateurs were forced out of the game and
the "gypsies" were permited to convert the show into a kind
of circus. The owners of the stables exhibiting seldom ap
peared. They were content to leave the job to their clever
stable managers who knew how to pull down the ribbons and
bring home the cash.
As was predicted at the time the system Is producing
some bitter fruit and we will be fortunate if our own state
fair does not get a taste of it. The Portland bankers and
others who have been feeding and supporting the show are
reported as growing cold in the matter and, if so, another
great institution will pass into oblivion. It could have been
saved, however, had the Portland newspapers been willing
to look the facts in the face.
Free Text-Book Bill
Only the children attending public schools will enjoy the
benefits of the proposed free text book bill should it become
a law. Parochial and private schools are excluded even
though they conform to public school requirements and use
the books adopted by the state text book commission.
The parents of most Catholic, Lutheran and Adventist
and other parochial school children, therefore, being tax
payers, will contribute to the fund necessary to provide free
text books for others' children without having any benefit
accrue to their own.
Governor Meier declared for free text books In his
message and is understood to favor the bill as it now stands.
In the campaign he enjoyed the support of a great majority
of the Catholics. It will be interesting to note just how far
he will go in giving assistance to those who would remove
the unjust discrimination now carried in the bill which makes
for inequality before the law.
It is difficult to see how the policy of providing free text
books squares with the promise of reduced taxation, for the
books must be paid for by taxation. The extra cost to the
Salem school district is estimated at $20,000 annually. The
more free things we provide from the public treasury the
higher the taxation.
Drying Up the Capital
It is devoutly to be wished that the Howell home-raid
bill designed to make Washington, D. C, a model dry town
and prove to the world that prohibition can be made to pro
hibit, be enacted. The senators and representatives that put
the dry laws over and enact such laws as the Jones' 5-10 act
for its enforcement deserve to take a little of the medicine
they have prescribed for the people. An end should be made
to their immunity.
It- ia a mnltpr nf record that Washington Is full of
speakeasies and infested with bootleggers who ply their
trade in Senate and House office buildings and run their
stills in the shadows of the White House. Statistics show
that arrests for drunkenness in the capital city far exceed
those of pre-prohibition days while the dry-wet congressmen
with leaky trunks escape prosecution.
Senator Borah says that "the violation of the prohibi
tion law in the national capital by those in office who should
obey the law, is notorious," and Senator Howell says that
"everv advantage is offered the bootlegger." And Congress
runs the District of Columbia, with the army and navy to
help.
When Washington is dried up, there may be some hope i
of drying up other cities. Let the noble experiment be tried,
at any rate.

of longer trains carrvlne larfffr

Pointing out that the dav mv
come when by public demand truck

upon It the demand that railroads
be allowed to compete for traffic
under the same conditions as other
transportation agencies.

A Profitable Racket
"Free power without cost to taxpayers" is proving quite
a profitable racket. Not only has it got the firm of Carey and
Harlan a $78,000 fee "for nothin'," but another $25,000 from
the taxpayers of Portland for similar fees for useless ex
perts. And the racket is still in its infancy juit wait until
all the Grange power districts Ret into action to fatten the
exports at the cost of the taxpayers.
Politically it has proven its potency as a campaign slo
gan clcctinR a governor pledged to the program as well as
a city commissioner in Portland. And now it is being capi
talized, just as the Ku KIux Klan hysteria was exploited in
the form of political leagues for which a membership fee on
the installment plan is charged for the enrichment of or
ganizers, who are cashing in while the cashing is good.
In Portland we have the Municipal Ownership league,
the Independent Political league, the Oregon Club, and the
Citizen's Political league, with doubtless many others in the
leeway, all intent on plucking the free power advocates.
