hanging around the minority rooms
after 1910, but that is what can be
expected if they succeed in their
attacks on the Administration. If
and when the Republicans move
back into Washington-and they
have done it before-it is unlikely
they will dump political favors into
the lap of anybody bearing the
abel of a Democrat.
All of this jamming may or may
not be the best thing for the
country. Too many it is considered
important that a brake be held
close to the wheels of an over
enthusiastic progress.
Not all of the delay in starting
Congress off in a new session is
due to dissention. There are
hundreds of bills which have to be
prepared in committee rooms be-
fore they are ready to go to the
House and Senate.
And with all of the wrangling that
is done on Capitol Hill, it still
represents that certain something
we Americans have no desire to
give up. Always there have been
those who thought the nation was
ripe for the dogs, yet here we are
after a century and half, still a
few laps ahead of the yapping

WHO WILL COUNT 1T?

Possibly the President considers
it an achievement-raising the
public debt up to $SO,0O0,000,000. 1t
was reported in the paper this
week that an eastern oyster pro-
duces 5O0,OO0,0OO eggs in a year.
The item didn't say who associated
so closely with the oyster to do
the counting. Counting 500,000,000
oyster eggs is a headache If it
was an estimate count it doesn't
count. Few persons have actually
counted a million. Fewer if any
have counted a billion.
We speak glibly of billions"
these days, all the time not know
ing what we are talking about
except that a billion is a long
string of figures and represents a
whale of a lot of money. Eighty
billion dollars is something we can
write down on paper and talk
about easily but to actually count
them would require a long time
and to earn them more than
life time. However it doesn't
seem to take much time in which
to spend that much money.
Just where the country can get
$50 ,O00,00OO0O to cancel the public
debt does not seem to bother the
administration. 1t worries only
over ways in which it can spend in
order to reach that figure. 1t is
beginning to appear that the chief
qualification of a successful gov
ernment official is his ability to
run the country on money it does
not have.
CONTAGIOUS
That same spending abuse has
worked itstlf down into the opera
ton of our state governments.
Early in December the State of
Arizona could not back with cash
the salary warrants it issued. Then
wealthy mine owner died and
the state went back on cash basis
for a time on the strength of the
inheritance taxes collected from his
estate.
Back in the early days of the
depression that started in 1929 the
'sales tax" law was passed to get
in enough money to run the state
until back taxes could be collected.
But since that time those in charge
have seen to it that enough in
creased expense has been created
to take all the uncollected taxes,
the sales tax and still more tax i'll
order to operate. And still we are
in the hole.
The attitude seems to be that il
a rich man can die every month
and additional taxes be levied on
the public each year. some day the
state will be on paying basis.
And the public growls and
sweats under the burden and then,
at the same time, goes on de-
manding this and that in return

Johnston ellis Gov,
Martin Devices
Are Illegal

Former Prosecutor Harry Il.
Johnston. who has been out of the
public light since he left his post
at the courthouse carly in January.
was back in print Thursday.
The former prosecutor, who,
during his term in office, waged
a successful fight against slot and
pinball machines. has protested TO
Gov. Clarence y. Martin the sign
ing OF bill passed by the legis-
lature which provides for licensing
all coin gaming machines al the
rate OF IS monthly.
Johnston cited in his letter of
protest that slot machines have
been declared gambling devices in
several superior court decisions
and pointed out that ruling in
Pierce county court also held that
pinball machines fell within the
same category.
Johnston contended legislators
did not have the right TO sanction
legislation providing for licensing
of gambling devices. He urged
that the state executive not sign
the measure.

wardrobe out of line, however. 1t
was unfortunate that the same could
not be said of his bankroll.
"We've got just enough to get Cold
Cream, Susie and ourselves out of

Slim told Snapper as the season clos

Slim Maynard was glad to get back
at Bay Meadows. Nestled in the lush
lowlands of the San Francisco PEN

grandstand had a "homey" atmos-
phere that most tracks lacked, he
thought.

plugs like Cold Cream and Susie.
Why had he tossed away that chance
to train horses for Matt Biddle?
Did he still feel that way? Slim
wondered. He asked himself why he
was so concerned over girl who had
snubbed him go.
No, his anxiety was for the horse,
Knight Errant, not Heather Mills.
There was( after all, something about
that colt that sort of "took" with Slim.
How long would it take Heather
to find Bassitt out? Not very long if
he Slim could just get her
to listen to him.
For six races during the Santa
Anita meeting Heather went through
the ordeal of watching Knight Errant
beaten.
Faithfully the fans continued to
back the colt in the betting, feeling
each time that "this is the day."
After each defeat, Heather told her
self she had made mistake in turn
ing her colt over to Bassitt's care.
Must she sit back helpless and at the
mercy of this man? But each time
Bassitt had ready answer for Knight
Grants defeat.
"Just give him time. He's green.
He'll learn"
Others beside Heather were hav-
ing their troubles at Santa Anita.
With Slim and Snapper it was some
times chicken and sometimes feathers,
but at the windup of this meeting it
was distinctly just the feathers.
No matter how badly things broke,

December Is, 1889

Snapper did not enjoy SO large and
trusting clientele as at Santa Anita.
Heather was stopping with an aunt
in Piedmont, but her small roadster
flashed faithfully over the bay bridge
and down the Bayshore highway daily
to keep an eye on Knight Errant.
Each time knight Errant went to
the post, Heather went to the mutuel
window. And each time another five
dollar bill, with it's aura of perfume
from her purse, went into general cir
culation. For knight Errant was still
a non-winner.
Slim had watched each Of Knight
Grants last half dozen races closely.
He had seen the little coal black two
year-old overmatched against older
horses.

80 KNIGHT ERRAnT~
e-&ys9Se BY Jack mcDonoId 81

cerned, Bassitt told her, between COM
placent puffs on his pipe, that the
colt had been stall walking all last
night.
"Stall walking!" Heather gasped,
seized with concern.
She had known Of her fathers
grave anxiety once when Coronado,
dependent over one of his few defeats,
became addicted to this strange ner-
vous ailment.
"It's nothing" assured Bassitt. II
had Draper take him out for gal
lop to run that fit of restlessness out
of him."
Bassitt did not appear downcast
over Knight Grants losing race the
day before.
He explained, only when Heather
asked, that the colt was running all
right until he got in front of the
grandstand and then folded up. Bas-
slit said Knight Errant wasn't &C.
customed to the excitement and cheer
ing of the crowd. 1t must have fright
ened him.
"I'll plug some cotton in his ears
next time and cure him of that" he
told her.
This sounded inhumane to Heather.
And Bassitt continued to explain.
Besides, he'll run better after three
starts, when he becomes eligible for
spurs and the whip"
"Whip?" Heather gasped. "Coro-
nado never needed whip. I won't
hear of one being used on knight Err
rant"
Then Bassitt admitted he had over
matched Knight Errant. He was too
green to beat those good ones at first
asking.
Heather's mind searched for the
truth in Bassitt's varied assortment
of excuses. Somehow they didn't
seem to ring true to her. For the
first time she found herself doubling
him.
Heather saw Knight Errant being
brought back to the stable. She ran
forward to meet him and stroke his
swan-smooth neck.
She returned to Bassitt, her blue
eyes doubling. He quickly sought to
smooth things over. He promised that
Knight Errant would win race soon.
"How soon?" Heather begged.
Only Bassitt would know that. He
pondered the problem after Heather
was gone. In the first place, the
short odds of 8 to on Knight Err
rant had amazed him. Bassitt was
no piker.
He wanted 10 to 1 or better when he
bet, and had fully expected to get
those odds in the colts first race.
Particularly so, he thought, after
all the pains he had had gone to in
matching the colt against the Van
derbilt and Mars champions and put
