Smith "Wildman" Biookhart, Iowa's eiratic senator, pro poses that the federal government spend two billion dollars building four highways from (uast to const, one of them through Oregon, and a fifth from Oregon to Los Angeles. We wish Smith would come out here and travel over tho roads that run over those routes now. We could stand more, of course, but the present facilities are somewhat better than he probably imagines. More federal money might well be spent for roads but, from a national standpoint, it should be 'concentrated in the mountain strides new lacking heavy population and in highway revenue. . I The rumor of a suit to test Mr. Carkin's appointment to the now state tax commission, if it threatens his service, is not good news to those who know his ability. Mr. Catkin is a keen student of tax problems and has acquired a tre mendous knowledge as head ot the special commission which' considered property tvx relief measures last year. Unlike Mr. Fisher, the present tux commissioner and appointed to tho new board, ho will sense tho necessity for going slow and effecting improvements and adjustments in a gradual manner that will not upset business nor result in unjust dis-' tributions. Ca'rkin is one of the best men in the state for work on this new full-time tax commission and, we hope, will be available for this service to Oregon. PRISON BARS : Obviously the nation is not wholly in sympathy with the jailing of Harry F. Sinclair. There are a great many worthy citizens who are distressed at the thought of sending a man to prison, even for a day, for refusing to answer questions propounded to him by a congressional investigating commit tee. And there are others who condone the Sinclair sentence only because they feel some punishment is due him for his connection with the Teapot Dome affair. - This case is a contradiction of the popular superstition that you cannot send a iiuilti-inillioiuilrc to jail. It is cv trcmely doubtful if any court could or would send a poor man to jail for tho offense that has put the prison stigma upon the oil magnate. Sinclair is not in jail for wjiat he did, but for what he was. A poorer man, to whom a fine would have meant real punishment, would have escaped a jail term. Moreover, only a courageous judge would have let Sinclair off with a fine at such a time. Hail r imposition of sentence been, deferred until the present, it k 'oubtful if it would carry a term of imprisonment. There seems to bo a growing tendency among jurists to send -people-to jail. The practice amounts to a mania in some sections, wlicie judges seem to le swayed by the mis taken idea that public opinion and the public weal require keeping the jails full. Judges who lielieve too well in the purifying and regenerative powers of prison bars forget that fear of the prison stigma is the pmiUl . . .no deterrent, and ence it is removed by a "slieU-h" crime l-ycomes easy. It is not difficult to understand how 90 days for defying in quisitive sennloin or "making whoopee" might start a nor mally honest individual on a career of crime. But the law is the law and Sinclair must suffer '' his Hilencc. TRY W. K. GILBERT CO. FIRST Grande Ronde Meat Co.
