THE OREGON STATESMAN, SALEM, OREGON THE MUDDLE OVER OUR CAPITAL PUNISHMENT LAW Some years ago, the people of Oregon voted to repeal the capital punishment law ' Then, on account; of two or three singularly brutal murders, there was a demand for the re-enactment of a capital punishment law, and the Legislature compromised upon the submission to the people of the fundamental law that is now being attacked in the courts; and this law re ceived a majority vote at the polls. A great many affirmative votes were cast on the as sumption that juries in finding accused persons guilty of murder in the first degree would have to recommend cap ital punishment, else the conviction Atfould automatically carry the penalty of life imprisonment - Hut that is not the way the law reads. Conviction by the jury of murder in the first degree carries the death penalty, without recommendation, unless the jury recommends life imprisonment. ' . 1 Wow, the attorneys who are contesting the law find that the Legislature did in one day what they should have taken three days, to accomplish in referring the proposed amend ment; also 'that it was not an amendment that was proposed but a new law, attempting to repeal part of the old law; also that the language of the law that is being attacked is con tradictory, when read alongside of the Jaw that was at tempted to be repealed by the vote of the people, i Also, these, attorneys say the Legislature has no power to refer new provision of the fundamental law, but only an amendment to such a provision And there are a lot of other objections brought up, taking the matter clear back to the granting of the Magna Charta and on up to the Bill of Rights of the United States Consti tution and the Constitution of Oregon; which latter is too abstruse for the ordinary lay mind And the whole matter may be carried up to the Supreme Court of the United States. .Will almost certainly be. Gary Plan Endorsed Editor Statesman The plan of religious Instruction to pupils of the public schools as outlined by the Rev. Mr. Kirkpatrick is of in terest In that it seems a solution for the difficult question. Every thinking person must realize the encessity for religious instruction for the coming generation, even as they have realized the evil effects of carelessness in this respect in the past. Catholics have been more vigilant, perhaps, in regard to this, but it has been at great expense and oftimes sacrifices on the part of Catholic parents. The Gary system, as I under stand It, would solve the difficul ty . Catholics are cognizant of the thorough instruction given in public schools generally, in all secular subjects, but because they know that genuine religious in struction is the basis and principle of all real education, they, as has been said, maintain their own schools in order that this instruc tion may be given. Here in Salem there are some 300 or more Cath olic children of school age; and I feel confident that if the Gary sys tem Is satisfactory, it would meet the hearty approval of our people. For thorough religious instruc tion for all children, and for the building up of a noble citizenshin. dear editor, I am ever, Sincerely yours, J. R. BUCK. Now, what is there to do? - Kansas has a capital punishment law that requires the Governor to sign the execution papers. Some twenty years ago, when the first papers were presented to the Governor, he refused to sign and ho Kansas' Governor since has signed such papers. So the Kansas penitentiary has on hand all the time a lot of men convicted of murder in the first degree, sent there to be executed; but not one has yet suffered the death penalty. : ' Oregon will be in the same position, till this case is fought uo to the United States Supreme Court, and longerin case "the contention, of the attacking lawyers , is decided to be sound- Unless some action is taken by the Legislature or the people..-' ' i vt ? ; -' v '' i'Jv '.. - , ; There have been more murders in Oregon since the pres ent law was enacted by the people than there were while this state had no capital punishment law. '. There is a proposition to ask the Legislature at the special session to refer a new amendment or law; one that would provide that the Governor have no power to pardon a person convicted of first degree murder for twenty years; and that such a case should remain without any recourse for that long, excepting when' new facts had come to light; and is such a case only the pardon board could take action, and then only by referring the matter to the supreme court. . That would seem a good solution And no doubt fraany voters would favor it; likely a large majority But. since the attack made in the courts, there is a ques tioh Whether the Legislature has authority to submit to the vote of the people such an amendment, or new fundamental ' The only sure way of getting out of the muddle appears to be through an initiated measure. , This idea is respectfully commended to the good people of Oregon.

LEAGUE DEAD FOR m Four-team Circuit too Small and Salaries too High s Decision TACOMA. Wash.. Nov. 30. The death knell of the Pacific In- ntenational baseball league, com prising the cities of Tacoraa and Yakima. Wash., and Vancouver and Victoria, B. C. was rung here today by L. H. Burnett, the league president, who announced that the league would not oper ate in 1922. That a four-league club is too small, particularly when' the race for the pennant becomes a walk away early in the season and that salaries were far too high for a Class B league are the principal reasons given by President Bur nett for breaking up the league. R. P. Brown, head of the Van couver team, vice president of the league and member of the national board of arbitration, con ferred with Mr. Burnett here to day prior to leaving for the an nual minor league meeting at Buffalo. N. Y., December 6. Brown will officially announce the end of the league at Buffalo, it was said. wnue neitner Burnett nor Brown would commit themselves definitely, both stated that Ta coma might yet have baseball next year, but declared that no an nouncement. would be made until after Brown's return from the national meeting at Buffalo. $3.00 Round Trip to Portland Every Day- Oregon Electric Railway 1 i On and after October 21st the Oregon Electric Railway will sell round trip tickets to Portland for 3, Including war tax, good for return to and Including the sec ond day from date of sale, J.
