Single Copy 10 Cent Hideous Harmony? A newspaper columnist we know pretty well, Jack Powell, news editor of the Stayton Mail, last week took Oregon's legislators apart In his column Jack's Jottings for their passage of a mea sure that would allow brass rail leaners the right to sing while taking on their beer. He looks deeply into the problem, and comes up with a result which probably has escaped the notice of our representatives and senators. Here are his thoughts on this vital subject: The first move in what we choose to regard as a subtle method of bringing back prohibition is underway at present. We refer, of course, to the bill recently passed by the state legislature permitting tavern patrons to sing as they quaff. At first blush this might sound like a move designed to encourage the greater consumption of malt beverages, but we detect the cunning hand of the WCTU In the background. It's one thing to listen to a trained choral group, standing before a fictitious bar and posing with glasses of Iced tea. They are singing songs to which they all know the words, not to mention the music, and their voices are purposely blended to achieve an effect of reasonable harmony. But a haphazard collection of run-of-the-mill slobs, aided and abetted by the fact that they were in their cups would achieve an effect hideous beyond description. The naked truth is that a trifling minority of the population Is capable of making a palatable racket with its vocal cords. The other side of the depressing picture is that an overwhelming majority of the citizens of this Republic is firmly convinced that they are living reincarnations of the late Enrico Car uso, or at least a highly reasonable facsimile of Bing Crosby in his prime. In at least 99 of the cases, this Is a happy fiction; it has no basis in fact. To make the whole sad picture sadder, as each bucket of suds rolls down the throat of the happy little songbird, he sounds better to himself. (And worse to everyone else.) He starts out knowing maybe 50 of the lyrics, but his memory fails In direct ratio to his suds intake. The other drawback Is that his voice is liable to grow louder, also in .

ODD ENDS... TO SAVE OR NOT TO SAVE ... A question that always brings forth as much uproar in Oregon as does the mention of those dirty words "sales tax", has again come to the front in the legislature. Shall we, or shall we not have daylight savings time? We hereby cast our vote in favor . . . even on the chance that we will bring down upon our head the wrath of a farming community. We like day light savings time. Great campaigns are now being waged by a self-appointed "We don't want it" committee who has been placing newspaper ads over the sig nature, among others, of Elmer McClure, state grange master, a man who has for years fought the idea as the representative of the state's granges. In years past the granges were pretty solidly against daylight time, but if our mem ory serves us correctly, a few years ago all, or at least most of Morrow county s granges chang ed their minds on the idea, and we believe quite a few other granges In the state did the same. We don't remember whether there was any official action on the part of the local granges, wheher it was just a straw vote ap proach, but anyway their members appeared to favor the fast time, so if Mr McClure is inti mating that all granges are against the measure, he isn't completely correct. We can't see any point In trying to present arguments here in favor of daylight time it would just bo a waste of time for practically everyone has their own reasons for being "for" or "agin", and no amount of persuasion seems to have any effect Our own reason is just that we like daylight time and we hope we will get It. .
