LOCAL LAWLESSNESS . , Communities throughout the state and nation have been experiencing a wave of lawlessness during the past year or more, whjch is evidently the result pf unemployment, and the fact that a small proportion of the unemployed would rather steal than to publicly ask for aid. Right here in La Grande and the Grande Ron.de valley we have felt this wave of lawlessness;. There. jiave , been num erous reports of thefts from farmers thefts of tools, gasQ line,' food, wood, clothing, and miscellaneous articles and here in the city hardly a day passes but that some small theft is reported. , Occasionally houses are entered, forcibly or otherwise, and frequently stores are broken into and either cash or mer chandise stolen. Parked cars which owners forget to lock are another field for the activities of thieves. Rqpbrts are that five or six persons recently have been frightened away from homes and farms by irate pwners using shotguns or small bore rifles. And it is arj actual faqt that a few men have been treated for minor wounds, evi dently inflicted by bullets or buckshot. .. No action could be taken against such individuals, how ever, for the simple reason that no complaints were 'fiIiH. the wounded men, if known, refused to make any statements',' ana tne cases naa to do dropped Decau.se of lack of evidence for prosecution. , . ' , This, of course, is a regrettable stale of affairs, but one over whiclj city and county officers have little control. Trie men. who are responsible for this wave of theiyery are hot what are ordinarily considered criminals, so that the police have, no records and are handicapped through luck of clues in ttteii; search, for the intruders, they are doing the best they , can, of course, but we can expect few arrests. Officers generally believe that the best solution to the ' problem is for properly owners to exercise the utmost care 1 to leave nothing of value unguarded, or at least easily acces sible. Homes, garages, and faun buildings should be pro- viuea wun strong locks and a good watch dog is effective protection against thieves. Thp use of revolvers and rifles against the petty thief seems to be going a bit too far, although there is no law that prevents a man. irom del ending his, property against those who trespass at night, lint a shotgun loaded with fine shot, or a pislol or rifle with blank cartridges is usually jusl .rr.i;. ti it.. iu:..r : , .i . . nn uiittiivc. jut iui.i.y iuiui is not Ut.'Hpei lite, UIHI a Will II' ing is enough to cause his immediate, departure.

Here is a job that will cost $H)0,0()(),000, that will permit ocean steamships to dock within hailing distance of the mid dle Western prairies, that will generate more than 2,()()0,0u0 horsepower in electricity and that constitutes, all in all, one of the vastest projects of its kind ever undertaken anywhere. It is a job of such size and of such importance, indeed, that the American people cannot permit it to be made into a political football. Already it is being reported thai the project will "figure in the campaign" largely, it seems, because of the recent interchange of telegrams between President Hoover and Governor Roosevelt. Jt is to be hoped that those reports are wrong. But before the politicians have a chance to drop the issue into the. cam paign, it might be a good stunt for the average citizen to get straight on the fundamentals of the thing. The state of . New York wants a voice in the negotiations becflu.se of the watcrpower angle. The electricity generated by the waterway will be divided equally between Ontario and New York, and its distribution south of the international boundary will be New York's responsibility. . . New York will have to pay part of the cost of the project. New York wants an early agreement on the total that it is to pay so that it can make adequate preparations for dis posing of the power -when it is available. That is all there is to the argument. The plan for an all American seaway that was talked of so much a few years ago a canal linking Lake Ontario with the Hudson river is not being heard of any more. The state and federal gov ernments are not in disagreement about the waterway itself, but merely about one of the details incidental to its con struction. Is there, therefore, any reason why the mntter'sliould be come a campaign issue? Could it not be settled quietly with out any attempt to win a partisan advantage for either side? i'OIITI.AMI ( AMI PORTLAND. Ori. July .10 (,!'. Cash Wheat: nig Bernl blui'mcin lO'vc.

A picnic supper was served at the park tables at 6:30 o'clock. re tar y of State Hal E. Hoss show a marked diminution of major traffic accidents. ' and this, soys the news. Is the result of the new system of driver licensing and license suspen sion. The system has been In effect for slightly more than a year, and Is the fruition of one of the most con structive bits of legislation ever en acted at Salem. Under this Jaw the fitness of drivers is a prerequisite to driving. Fitness and knowledge of the traffic laws and the rules of the road are stressed In qualifying ex aminations. Suspension or revoca tion of the licenses of the unfit makes life safer, happier, and more nearly certain to those who remain on the Oregon highways. If.

Other Papers Say: FicwKii iik;hu.v atiiu:nT8 Statistics from the rpcnrclH of Sec- years was. expected to be the period necessary for the examination of , all drivers in Oregon. It njay be sur mised that, to date, one-third of the drivers in the state have been given opportunity to demonstrate their fit ness. After the three year period is complete, the drivers first examined will take a new test, and thus it will go on. The law glyes .no licenses, in perpetuity. There Is always the pos sibility that the man who was a safe, competent driver three years ago may through age, Infirmity, of addiction of one sort, or another, become dangerous and incompetent. The state of Oregon proposes to keep a continuous check. By doing so. It will increase the effective ca pacity of Its highways and the pleas ure to be derived from driving over them.
