Newspaper Page Text" ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 21, 1931'. SK ROSEBURGERS VOICE VIEWS ON DRY UW Wickersham Commission's Enforcement Urge Firftla Approval Locally. A grpat deal of loral Interest has boon shown in the report by the Wlckersham commission. Law en forcement nnd executive officers and leaders of local urouiis, com ment upon the report as follows: Guy Cordon, district attorney of DouRlas county ABsumlns; that the press reports correctly the statement of the commission. I cannot agree with its assumption that there is a failure of prohibi tion enforcement. It Is true that the prohibition law is violated tlallv; It Is likewise true that In numerable other statutory prohibi tions are likewise violated. I can not understand any student of the history of criminal law attempting to pass upon the ultlmale enforce ability of the prohibition law until sufficient time has elapsed to get n proper perspective. Even a super ficial Rlance at the history of en forcement of prohibitory laws and all criminal law is of necessity prohibitory will reveal that no such law, affectinir to any extent tho actions of a larce section of the public, has ever had thorough enforcement nor eeneral public ap proval and obedience dining the feneration of Us enactment. The American people have Ingrained In , them nn n'most fanatical belief In personal liberty: so strong was that feeling In revolutionary davs that even the constitution of the United Rtntes was adonled with the nation's fingers crossed. Whv then, should we expect the prohibition law. deallm? as it does with what had become a habit of American people, to receive a better degree of enforcement than have other problhlto'V laws, the suhlect of which did not have the gustnlory nnnenl of till" one? Tlrre is no niwaiinn but Hint, the enrorcen'ont of the prohibition law has been relative, but it hns not been a fail ure. Officer! Held Diligent I am not familiar with the ma chinery nor with the result of en forcement of this law In large cities. Seven yoars of experience in law enforcement In biiiiiII towns and rural sections lias, however1, given mo a pretty fair insight into the enforcement of the prohibition law in such localities. 1 can say. without fear of contradiction, that in such HcctlniiH law enforcement offlcers during the years which have come under my observation have given more of their time and attention to the enforcement of the prohibition law than to all oth er criminal laws combined. Those officers have gono tit their Job of enforcement of this law In nn earnest and an honest endeavor 1o make a success of the operation of the law. I believe that no honest nnd unhlnsed Investigation of the facts will disclose that the prohi bition law has failed of enforce ment In the rural sections on ac count of weakness or negligence of enforcement officers. It Is true that wo have not had tho cooperation of tho citizenry; my own opinion is that such cooperation In tills gen eration should not have boen ex pected. Whether such cooperation will como in tho next generation r the one succeeding. I cannot any. I am, however, fully convinced Hint, considering the lack of gen eral cooporatlon, which has been encountered In the enforcement of the prohibition lnw, the officers with whom I have come in contact have made a commendable record In the enforcement of this stalule. nnd, if considered nntlonnlly Its en forcement can bo deemed a fail ure, such result cannot bo laid nl Hie door of rural enforcement of ficers. Dispute Not Ended Hon. J. K. McCIintock, mayor of the city of ltosehuig I.Ike all (trout moral Ishucs, wo llnd nun hn will Hitter in Interpretation. No member of the commission tie Hires, to see a return of the liquor traffic, and the open saloon Is not favored, even by Hie ninminiciuioih of Intoxicant ltciuors. The trouble ,uliiv Is that we who favor the i n tiro abolition of the Honor tralflc have gone to seed on law enforce ment, and have neglected the teaching of the evil effects of nar cotics. Tho findings of the cominis slnn does not satisfy ell her the friend or enemy of the 1Mb amend niunt, and the controversy will go on as usual. The fuel remains that prohibition has proven a great suc cess in spite of open rebellion nniong a certain class of our elu sions, (latlgland of I'lllcago Is outstanding example of opposition to established law. hut that will he controlled utter the tnrelgii cle ment has been outlawed. Heal Americans reaped out laws, wlicih or they agree with ilo'in or not. Firm Against Repeal Mrs. John M. Wills, picsidciii lloseburg W. O. T. f The o jneu's Christian Temperance I n Ion stands emphatically dor oil nervnnce and enforcement and Pol repeal of the prohibition law. We llgree with the report in that en forcement should be made sIioiik er. The lSlh nmi-mlmi'iil should lie enforced as effectively as any oth er of the laws of tin' I tilted (States. Law Is Enforclble William Vaugh. chief of police of Hie city of ltosehut R I do not think that the prohibition law Is mi enforceable, and, In fact, as a w hole 1 believe that It la as well or 1 I ler enforced than many of out other laws. An officer should not be governed by public sentiment In such mntters as law enforcement When he takes his oath of office be .in that be will uphold and en force all laws, and, in my opinion. I,. I. vlnhilllll! his oath Of nfftr ...i, i,a enforces certain laws and "winks" at the violation of certain other laws. The prohibition law I" o mri of our constitution and ahnnld havo the support and coop nratlon of all law enforcement bodies. Reflects "Dry" Minds Dr. Charles A. Edwards, pros! dent Rosehurf! Ministerial union The Wlckersham commission re port, as presented to President Hoover, perhaps more clearly de fines the mind of the temperance people. The law enforcement com mission desires only to make a great Buccess or what is the most noted reform in the world's his tory. I am heartily In favor of any movement to enforce the eigh teenth amendment, and the V. ersham commission's findings, ir brought Into fruition, would bring about a satisfactory condition to all concerned.

Vital Statistics POLICE FIREMEN FUND FOR PENSIONS SOUGHT SAl.l'.M. Jan. 20 A plan for a oopeiallve pension fund for munl-i-lpiil police and fire department I'liiplovees which will divert a por tion of the 2. per cent lax Imposed upon Insurance policies written in Ihe slate will soon be laid before the legislature. Captain frank Ir win of Hie Cortland police, who was conferring with members of the legislature here lasl night, an nounced today. Captain Irwin said that the gen eral form of the bill had been decided upon, and that it would probably ask that a portion of the Insurance lax he diverted lo hoi aioring nn Ihe pension funds of cities coining under the act. To he eligible for part id pal ion a city would have to ilselt main lain a pension levy of al least one tenth of a mill and the members of the fire nnd police departments would be required to pay one and one half per cent of their salaries into the pension fund Heavy Balance Cited Captain Irwin said that the Insur ance tax of 2 per cent on policies enacted 30 years ago. is now amounting to around JSOO.rtao year, whereas the expenses of the insurance department only run slightly In excess of $12n.iHiO The balance reverts to the general fund of the slate. He also said that some means might be devised whereby deputy sheriffs nnd other police officers might be brought under the bene fits of the pension fund.

U GRANTS PASS, OREGON'S "BIGGEST LITTLE CITY", NEXT I NEWSPAPERS ADVERTISE, TOO The above advertisement which appeared in a recent edi tion of Printer's Ink, a national advertising and merchandising journal, is the thirteenth of a series being carried by the leading daily papers of Oregon outside of Portland, and their national advertising representative. M. C. Mogensen & Co. The next of the series, featuring Grants Pass, will appear soon, following which the entire series wlil be reproduced in book form and sent to more than 1,000 of the country's leading advertisers and ad vertising agencies. The News-Review has been reproducing each advertise ment in this series to permit local renders to note the promo tional work in which this paper has been participating and to demonstrate its faith in advertising. The News-Review's portion of the cost of this campaign was nearly $500 and results that have already been attained justify the faith of the papers co operating. Local merchants who use the News-Review properly and consistently derive a much larger return than we can hope to receive from the national field. ROSEBURG NEWS-REVIEW
