ji Three years ago Eastern Oregon suffered a disastrous
frost the last week in May, which makes us hone that the
weather man wiii not go to extremes with his cool tempera
tures right now.
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.
