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

LET'S KI3KP POLITICS OUT
After more than a decade of discussion, and several years
of negotiations between Ottawa and Washington, the Great
Lakes seaway project is at last moving toward realization.
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?

sive memorial service conducted Sun

swimming suits." Wednesday was an
exciting day in the convention ses
sions, with election of officers on the
program. ,
Among La anuulors attending the

Picnic Enjoyed At
Pine Cone Friday
The L. S. to the B. of L. P. and E.
enjoyed a delightful picnic at Pine
Cone yesterday afternoon. A , large
group took part in the affair which
began with swimming in the after
noon. 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.

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. Bend Bulletin.
