stances.
But again the Multnomah delega­
tion democrats saw things under the
bed. To them, the bill was a delib­
erate attempt to attack the able and
efficient county clerk, who happens
to be a democrat, and to enable an
alleged Republican county machine to
dominate elections. When the bill
passed with heavy majority, two
angry Multnomah members adopted
the well-worn tactics of demanding
the full reading of all bills to delay
the proceedings of the House and to
attempt intimidation of Republican
members through threat of prolong­
ing the session beyond all reason.
Whatever the merits of the bill,
the timing was very bad
It should
have been introduced in 1943 when
the county clerk was a republican. Its
introduction at this time played into
the hands of the alert professional
politicians of the Multnomah demo-
| cratic delegation and they made the
I most of their opportunity.

Gas Station Robbery
Last week's legislative show cen­
tered about two bills affecting only
Multnomah county. The first had
to do with allowing each elective
county officer the privilege of select­
ing his own private secretary subject
to the approval of the board of coun­
ty commissioners. It took the control,
of such appointments away from the
civil service and gave it to the com­
missioners. The issue was whether
an elective public shall have the
right to choose his own private sec­
retary. to handle the private matters
Word has just arrived that a gas
station out on a nearby highway
has just been held up and robbed by
a pair of society bandits wearing
evening clothes. The station atten­
dant has not as yet recovered con­
sciousness but it is suspected that
his assailants were a couple of local
high school students. Hear all about
it in the Junior Play, “Cross My
Heart" at the High School Gym this
