To promote ‘cooperation’ they advocate give and com promise—on the part of the employer. I VERNONIA STEAM LAUNDRY DO YOU KNOW * A ND now the Pendleton “Round-Up” is coming in fo ** its share of condemnati n by Humane Society head and others, claiming the stunts and practices on eacl yeai ’s^ program are cruel to dumb animals. The “bui light is barred in the United States and roping and but fogging is lacing the same calamity. Never seeing th Round-Up we refrain from passing an opinion, but fol lowing is a long opinion written by E. Hofer, presiden of the Oregon Humane society: “The Pendleton Round up is not a state institution. It exists without legislatioi or appropriation. It is a private enterprise for money mak ing. As such it has no more icenes to practice or permi outrageous acts of cruelty than the poorest private citi zen. Its officers permit horrible acts of cruelty with ful knowledge of the facts and in defiance of the laws agains' cruelty. “The Oregon State Humane society has always treated the Round-up with consideration and the community backing it with the greatest kindnes. They were always leady to promise elimination of cruelty .complained of, but there was always plenty, and thia year, in spite or protests from our officers on the grounds, there was more than ever. The time has come to wipe out the whole brut- • al show’. “About ten years ago my wife and I attended as guest, of the Round-up officials, occupying a box in the grand stand. The first hour of the show a big beautiful steer was roped on a dead run, throwing so as to turn a com plete somersault, breaking his horns and one hind leg. We left the show never to return. More people are do ing that each year. "The Round-up as a picture of the cattle industry’ in the pioneer days is a fraud. I have talked with men and women who participated in the real round-ups and worked ht roping and branding horses and cattle all their lives on the range anti who stijl have the smell of burnt hair in their lungs. They all tell me no such cruelty was practiced and no maiming and crippling of animals on the ranges was tolerated. “It is needless to go into details about acts of cruelty at the Pendleton Round-up. The newspapers were full of them. They were 1 eported from day to day in the Port land pane1 T 1: was true of the Chicago rodeo. Our humane uiiicers policed many of the county rodeos, all conducted for private gain. All had exhibitions of cruelty, but none so bad as Pendleton, from newspaper accounts. The influence of the round-up is evil. It breeds and develops ciuelty. The original big round-up of the Oregon country, after which it is modeled, was a Sunday school picnic compared to the Pendleton ex hibition of brutalities. In the ’40s, ’50s, and ’60s w'hen cattle were driven up to central Oregon ranges from Californai, Arizona and New Mexico, by way of Reno, Surprise and Warner valleys, the great annual round-up took place on Goose lake and all who had bunches or herds of cattle or brands of horsese, large or small, as sembled there in spring or early summer. There w’as good grass and water for the stock, fine w’eather for the branding, fun and feasting. The Indian tribes mingled with the whites and there were races and gambling. Stock was sold and traded and w’hen al’ the livestock found its rightful owner the herders separated. w’ent with their cattle to their grazing grounds to meet again another year. It is an abuse and parody on the name to call the Pendleton show a round-up. The National Hu mane society will hold its annual convention at Portland next year. We are planning to have the national offi cers attend the Pendleton Round-up. “Oregon should show’ a clean entertainment at Pendle ton. The round-up cannot go on as at present. It has been treated with leniency too long. Consideration for a home institution has been earned too far. It must be stripped of every vestige of cruelty» As it stands on the published reports it disgraces the fair name of our state and is setting a vicious example to every state in the union that Oregon as a progressive civilization cannot afford to tolerate. We enacted a law requiring that kindness to animals be taught the children in our public schools, and the legislature appropriates money to enforce the law’s against ciuelty to animals, and then we capitalize cruel- • ties for a holiday. “Newspapers suggest that we legalize bullfighting. Might as w’ell ask the humane society to supervise a bull fight at Tia Juana as to expect it to guarantee a round up without cruelty. It can’t be done.” -------- 0-------- BACK TO FIRST PRINCIPLES 'HING TO SELL.
