Jurist is Ideal

During th "buck passing contest"
that took place among the seven cir
cuit judges in Portland over who
should try the rase of their political
confreres, one of the jurist asserted
tl.at the fart that he owned an auto
mobile would bar him from being an
impartial arbiter.
As the other six judges were also

of Multnomah county can use gaso

privately owned automobiles when
they are not being used in county
