The auction sale of Rigby Park has
again been postponed, this time at the
request of number of Portland's we'll
known citizens who are to make an
effort to arrange for the preservation
of the park and its ultimate use by the
merchants of Portland. 1t is the uni
versal opinion that it is a shame to let
this fine park he torn to pieces after so
much money and effort have been cX-
pended there to make the finest race
track in America. 1t is suggested that
the Portland Railroad people would like
to take hold of it if sufficient induce
ments were offered them, and to make
it into park where industrial exhibit
tions could be held during the summer
season.

The Oregonian accuses Geer of sukng in his

"Save, save him, or he perish" The Oregonian is
several kinds of "chump" if it does see that in
these appeals it is giving Geer credit for being the
most most potent factor in Oregon politics.
One thing is sure Governor Geer is legally before
the people In the matter of political consistency and
loyalty to the tenets of the Republican party, he is
bright and shining light in comparison with Harvey

there are other Republican candidates on the ticket

Closing Words for
a Business Program

~Hw this campaign THE JOURNAL has fought for
its own program and for its own candidates,
M made up from the different tickets. The
program consists of putting all state officials
on fiat salaries and turning all fees into the state
treasury
This program had to be fought at the beginning
of fouryear term of administration, else let the
state government drag along in its present unsasfac
tory condition.
In making this fight THE JOURNAL has sought to
be impersonal and non partisan and has far sue
ceeded that all three parties that have political plat
forms have endorsed this demand for fiat salaries.
THE JOURNAL believes that the state ticket at the
head of these columns should be elected and has fully
and, we believe, fairly given its reasons and now
leaves the matter with its readers
Mr.. Chamberlain, for governor has made a gal
liant and able fight, for the principles advocate in
state affairs, and if he is elected they vii be carried
into effect faithfully and energeticay and honestly.
For state printer Mr. Godfrey should be elected,
because he is competent and will not resist the effort
to put that Office in the salary class, and reduce the
expenses of carrying it on in a credtable manner
