Phillips If legislative committee is taking a at New York race tracks to see how racing operates. look-se- e are glad to offer some help in obtaining the Facts of Life at Horse Ovals: 1. The contests are for horses bred for speed and for racing addicts bred for endurance, gullibility and erroneous deductions. 2. The horses run from five and a half furlongs to a mile and The fans run much farther. A horse pops an osselet, bows a tendon, or breaks a leg and has to be retired. A bettor can suffer all four without weakening. 3. Horses begin racing at the age of three and usually are through at the age of eight. A race addict rarely seems to develop beyond the age of three and is through only when in the hands of eight pallbearers, seven of whom are still listening for inside information that he may yet snap out of it and stage an upset. 4. A race horse lives on choice oats and selected hay. (A bettor should live so well!) 5. The ponies race under weights, conditions and classifications. It is realized that there are limits to what they can accomplish on a given afternoon. A race track addict acknowledges no such limitations. 6. Weights are used to give every horse an equal chance. The fans do about the same, loaded or not. 7. Horses wear special shoes. Fans are lucky to wear any. 8. Interest in racing is sustained by huge purses. A horse can earn $100,000 for two minutes work. A fan may work all his life for it, even as an optical illusion. 9. The horses are ridden by a strange race called jockeys. They are too small to take a horse out of a park and yet big enough to show inclinations in that direction. 10. Betting is done by mutuels machines. A mutuels machine operates the same as a sausage grinder, except that the meat goes back to the butcher. It is a hamburger apparatus with a built-i- n cash register. It offers the only medium by which a man can spend an afternoon in a cement mixer and have it come under the head of outdoor sport. 11. To place a bet you go to a window. These windows are mostly on the ground floor to discourage jumping. 12. Suspense is added to racing A photo-finis- h is by a photo-finistwo or more joctaken whenever keys finish within telephonic communication of one another. 13. Racing is called the Sport of Kings but it is supported by Deuces Wild and Jacks Back to Back. It has raised to a high art the practice of talking out of one side of the mouth, and developed a race known as Whisperers Anonymous. 14.

Patterson in Wash-Yington county, Iowa, Longs Creek was one of the waterways of that county. It was not navigable even for a light canoe. It was just a creek, with water in spots in the summer, and those spots provided breeding places for bull heads and swimming pools for the boys of the lirHEN I j , WAS A BOY Y neighborhood. Because of the swimming holes, the boys claimed Longs Creek as their rightful property. Had the federal government of those days attempted to do what the federal government is doing today, it would have meant an insurrection on the part of those Washington county boys, that would have taken a corps of marines to suppress. The counties of southern California have creeks similar to those in every county of every state. These California creeks serve the specially useful purpose of irrigation for the hundreds of foothill farms, without which they would not produce, and would be valueless. Those ereeks have been the source of Irrigation for those foothill farms, back to the Spanish mission days. ; Now, without warning of any kind, the federal government noti- fies the farmers that they can no i longer use the water of those ,s creeks, as they are federal govern- ment property, and the rights to the water they carry belong to the fj federal government. Those water B rights have been recognized as be-i- ? longing to the farms they irrigate I for more than 100 years. That is seizure of property by the government, without adequate compensation to the owner, and it is specifically forbidden by the i :i fifth amendment to the Constitu-tiobut the federal government has refused to recognize the rights to compensation by the citizens. j; What has happened in these California counties, could hap pen In Washington county, 4 Iowa, or In any other county in iii any state, if California permits the central government to get away with such a steal. JiIt will be tried in other states, ivf and the citizen will soon have no rights the government at Washington will recognize. That bold ) move on the part of the attorney generals office is more than the little community of Iing in southern California. it I get away with that steal, j there I np limit to what it can take. " n, s. In the days when F. D. R. and the New Deal was operating with the regularity of well greased clock work, honest Harold Ickes, then secretary of the interior, was a recognized source of New Deal ideas. One that bobbed up in his always fertile brain was for the government to take over the tide lands oil and so gather in the royalties the operators were paying to the states for each barrel of oil they recovered from the ocean depths, and to secure which they had invested large, very large, sums in the drilling and operation of those tideland wells. The terms Honest Harold offered were far from satisfactory to the operators, and they refused. But they stopped pumping and drilling. The states lost the royalties they had been receiving, and to supplement their diminishing revenues had to levy other taxes on their already over burdened people; the nation lost the supply the tide lands fields had provided. And all because Honest Harold had a bad dream. He would provide more revenue with which to meet New Deal spendings, and put one over on the wealthy oil operators. Like some other of his ideas, that one did not work out as he had planned it. Without that tide land oil we cannot meet the national defense requirements and keep 52 per cent more automobiles on the roads. Should the service station refuse to sell you all the gas you might MR.
