Angus Newton, Klamath Falls in
terior decorator and active in
various civic and fraternal organ
izations, and Cecil Edwards, of
Salem and Portland, official in the
Oregon Taxpayers Finance Com
mittee and. ex-presidlng steward
of horse racing in' Oregon.
Edwards charged that in lump
ing horse racing with lotteries and
bookmaking. framers of the ballot
measure were guilty, of "one of
the greatest frauds ever Imposed
on Oregon electorate.
He pointed out that lotteries and
bookmaking were - already forbid-
oen oy uregon law ana asserted
that including them in the ballot
measure - along with pari-mutuels
had been done -more to confuse
uie voters , and veil the attack on
pari-mutuels. . In biting language,
Edwards termed the situation as
deceitful," and "an abominable
political trick."
Sen. Hitchcock strongly chat-
Ienged Edwards' contention on this
score. He maintained that the bal
lot measure was Iramed In good
faith" and that the rather Involved
terms and broad coverage of the
measure were necessary to pre
vent - some smart lawyer irom
finding loooholes in the law,'
.Newton hit the measure from
a different angle. He said clubs
and fraternal organizations In
Oregon frequently raise large
amounts oi money lor wetiare ana
service groups through parties of
fering games and lotteries. He
said the ballot measure would stop
ail sucn practices. .
i Holloway concerned himself pri
marily with the broad moral is
sue. He saw as ' "tragic" the fact
that 4-H clubs and various fairs,
livestock and agriculture shows
were financed hi part from state
funds derived from parl-mutuel
wagering. He suggested it would
be better to curtail 4-H and fairs
activities than to use funds from
such a source. -
The minister praised Elmer Mc
Clure State Orange master, for
opposing pari-mutuels and added
that he was surprised the Farm
Bureaus had not followed suit, won-
during if they lacked "the moral
courage" to ao so
Frequently, Holloway quoted
Bible passages in support of his
attack on horse race enthusiasts.
Edwards turned to the Bible to
answer Holloway's charges. He
quoted Uie words of Moses from
Exodus: "Who ruled thee a prince
to Judge over us"?
The attack on th practice of
4-H clubs and falls using funds
from part-mutuels. on the premise
that such money was not fit for
such uses because of its source,
was scathingly answered by both
