; That jjiey should seek the Lord, - - r For in hjm we live,

THE VERDICT
John Owen and Keith Crosswhtye were taken to Salem to
Jay, sentenced to confinernept behind the walls pf the state
penitentiary for the rest of their lives, in apcordance with
file recommendations of the jury which fpund Owen guilty
of first degree murder, ancj in viev of Crosswhjte's confes
sion. The people of La Grande will doubtless heave a sigh of
relief to know that the gates have clicked behind the slayers
pf Officer Helms, shutting them out from the world whjch
they seemed to think was theirs for the taking.
'. "No one can deny that Owen was given a fair tra, but
many citizens have expressed disappointment with the pen
alty imposed, believing that Owen should have received a
death sentence. Those who closely followed the case see
ho. reason why leniency should be shown to one who cold
bloodedly offended society with his deliberate disrespect for
the spirit of law and the value of human life.
! .. But the jury evidently had some reason for recommending
thp lighter sentencp. We cannot believe that sentiment would
have influenced their decision, in spite of the fact that any
worth while citizen hates to bear the responsibility of con
demning a man to death.
; At any rate there is nothing to be done now that would
in any way alter the sentences pronounced by Judge Knowles ;
and the judge is, to bo commended for the stand he tpok n
warning Owen never to apply to him or to' the district attot
jiey for a pardon.
:" ACCEPTING NEW IDEAS
It is a common saying that the radicalism of yesterday is
the accepted program for the conservatives of tomorrow.
Sometimes, however, even the radicalism of today does
not look so terribly radical when it is examined closely.
Norman Thongs, Socialist candidate for president in 1928,
has just written a book called "America's Way Out." In it
he sets forth a brief platform for dealing with economic nnd
social problems. It includes these planks:
1 Ascertaining from month to month the number of the
unemployed, "at least as accurately as we. now know the
number of pigs." "
; 2 Setting up a system o publio, non-profit-making em
ployment agencies to connect the unemployed worker with a
jqb efficiently and cheaply.
. 3 Adopting it long-range planning system whereby useful
public works ciyi quickly bo speeded up at tho approach qf
business depression.
dU-Sctting up unemployment insurance as part of a com
prehensive scheme of social insurance.
5 Controlling the rale of introduction of machinery so
as to give time to plan for the absorption of displaced work
ers by increased demand for goods and by a decrease in tho
length of tho working week.
And Mr. Thomas adds:
TiTlhese principal points may be added the rigid prohibi
tion of child labor under 10 and the rercducatipn of older
workers for other work when the progress of machinery
and technique or the shift of
fluous in their former trades."
Here, then, we have a leading Socialist's program fqr
dealing with situations such as that which arose in the late
fall of 1929; and the most notable thing about it, at first
glance, is tho fact that it hardly scorns radical at all.
The first three planks, indued, are advocated by practically
everyone who has given the matter any thought at all. Tho
fourth is commonly urged by many people who would resent
being called radicals; the fifth is, surely, mild enough to be
voiced anywhere without drawing down romarks about Mo
cow.
Sooialism in America developed chiefly becauso it seemed
to many people that the scramble for private profits was
producing an increasing disregard of aU human values. In
the last decade or so those human values have been reassert
ing themselves. We are readier to listen to new ideas than
wo were a generation ago.
The mere fact that these proposals of Mr. Thomas sound
8.Q mild nnd reasonable is a striking indication of the way
the nation's attitude has changed,
In order to be in stylo Uncle
to reduce his waste-line.

Democratic legislators, and as fre
quently vetoed by the then Republi
can majorities, are claimed as tri
umphs Ion the administration. There
Is an Instance of this In every speech
made by ono of Mr. Hoover's cabinet
or other administration spokesmen.
Tho purpose Is plainly to Improve
the presidents prospects of re-elec
tion by planting the Idea that he
single-handed has accomplished
everything that Is done by congress."
Tho speaker, terming the Impend
ing tax bill perhaps the "most Im
portant" task confronting congress,
said Its drafting had not been made
any easier by "the errors of hundreds
of millions of dollars" In the budgets
sent up.
Ho flatly asserted that the presi
dent would not get "uny such un
limited ohartor" as he asked In the
icquest for authority to- reorganise
tho government's bureaus.
"We too have our ldoas as to effect
improvements and economies in tho
national administration. If the presi
dent Is sincerely desirous of such
Improvement there Is no reason wo
should not get together. . . . What
he seeks Instead Is to dictate, and
nobody can dictate to tho Democratic
group In the house."'

Ho declared linpatlenco with those
who undertake what he called "tho
trratlonnl. humanizing of washing
ton. There Is no need, the preslclout
said, to look beneath: ''hts unique
qualities of greatness" and great ac
compliHhmonts. "We need not attempt canonization
ot CiGorgo Washington," ho said. "Wo
know ho was human, subject to the
diRfouragcmonts and perplexities that
come to us all. Wo know that ho
had moments of deepest anxiety, we
know of his sufferings, and the sacrl-
flees aud anguish that came to him.
We know of his resentment of In-
Justice and misrepresentation. And
yet we know that he never lost faith
In our people."
Throughout his address the prcsl-
dent- paid Washington tribute as a
founder of. liberty, ot a unique gov
eminent and of a system of national
life.
defining this system as It appears
today, ho asserted It "embraces a
sytttm of relationships to othor na -
Uons based upon mo thought of lm-
pcrtallsm, no desire to dominate: a
determined "national self-reliance In
defense and Independence in action;
freedom from all commitment to the
unknown future, and an aspiration
to promote peace and good will
among .men."
In the capital, the two hundredth
birthday anniversary of Washington
started pageantry and speech-making
that had been long In preparation to
honor him.
It began with early service In
churches, the massing of the colors
of the 48 states about the base of
the tall marble monument that bears
his name, and the laying of wreaths
there and at his old home, Mount
there and at various other
p,aces aD0Ut the capltal that either
kBw hlm or atand M to memorials
, hl followed throUEhout the day.
More than two-score such events
dotted the program, reaching a cli
max at noon when President Hoover
addressed a joint session of congress.
Later President Hoover was to go
to Alexandria to review a parade, and
Journey down the broad, new mem
orial highway along the shore .of the
Potomac to make another brief speech
from tho front porch of Mount Ver
noon. At Wakefleldi Virginia, where
Washington was born, the first
phases of the day's celebration -were
broadcast. The program there began
at 10 a. m. The hour of his birth,
with a description of the big col
onial home that has been reproduced
to stand as a shrine.
At the capltol, the grounds were
blocked off to bar aU but official
automobiles, but a crowd began to
gather early on the plaza.

KITCHEN TAKES THE LEAD
the Associated Press
There Is usually so much depend
ent upon the placing of rooms around
the kitchen that something has to
be sacrificed, but in hls house the
kitchen is convenient to the back
door, front door, door to the cellar,
to tho dining room and living room,
for service at meals or for guests.
Another feature of -the house Is
that when located on a lot as small
as 60 feet, If the living-room Is placed
so as to face the garden, one may
drive directly Into the garage. This
makes ho cost of construction of a
road very reasonable.
