Show REPEAL THE LAW We believe a majority of the peo- pie of this state favor the repeal of the racing law, and not any amendment amend-ment to it. Amendments to the law will not satisfy the people, they want the law repealed. The racing law encourages betting and betting is itself a crime. Why legalize what is criminal? What is the object of the racing law anyway? Who does it benefit? All the arguments so far made favoring favor-ing it fail to the last degree in showing anything in it that is of the least benefit to the people of the state. On the contrary, we regard it as pernicious and unmoral, in that it legalizes crime. We sincerely hope the bill passes for the repeal of the racing law, and believe that our legislators will be among those voting for its repeal. Pres. notices state that the author of the racing bill is himself ashamed of it, which is no cause for wonder. |
