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. .
