J:- it it I . t i n i n fi M tThe report of the subcommittee on alcoholic liquor traf fic. House of Representatives, year 1925, says, among other very important statements of the advantages ef the dry re- . "The decrease In tbe death rate which accompanied prohibition has greatly and favorably affected insurance companies. It is reflected in 'gains from mortality," one of the principal sotirces of profit for insurance companies. In 183 ordinary insurance companies this gain in 1923 amounted to $157,000,000 while in 27 industrial insurance companies it amounts to $226,000,000. -This represents the difference between the expected and the actnal amount ot death claims payable. : The actnal mortality registered in the 183 ordinary companies was 53.33 per cent of the expected mortality, and 60.95 per cent in he industrial companies. Many companies reported that the ratio of actual to expected mortality was only slightly over 30 per centwhile one company had a ratio of 14.41 per cent. . ' ' "The saving in human lives threugh the decreased death rate prevailing under prohibition has been estimated as close to a million of lives in the last five years. 1" . The general health of the nation has greatly improved nnder prohibition. The death rate fell from an average of 13.92 per 1000, the average for the wet years 1913 to 1917, to an average of 12.3 for a like period under prohibition. Jn round numbers a million lives have been saved by this decrease In the death rate, to which prohibi tion was one of the principal determining factors.". The report also states that "alcoholic insanity has de creased 66 per cent in the first three pfohibition years as compared with the last three wet years," and that "The chief beneficiaries of the dry law in Americ are the small chil dren," as these little innocent victims of the ravages of strong drink and improper bringing up have been reduced in number by half. : . , . . "Many jails have been closed," says the report. "Mass1 . .chusetts has closed one-third of her jails and sold two." "There are fever paupers in ,the almshouses of -the United States than there have been for ) years. The num ber of paupers per 1000 population is the lowest in the history of the; country, according to the United States census of almshouses." . :l - . . - Break a Cold Right Up with "Pape's Cold Compound" " i M. . . - . i - t aKe two lameis every three hours until three doses ; are taken.

That country; is passing through a critical, industrial depression, and her dole system has enly intensified the evils of the acute situation of unemployment. .There are forward looking men in England who believe it'is time their country followed the example of the United Stafes, when, according to British authorities, she spends $3.3 per 'capita for. beer and only $5 per capita for milk, this being 160 percent, more for beer than milk, nature's indlspensible food for young and old, rich and poor, high and low, sick and well.' In 1924 the per capita consumption of milk in our country was 54.75 gallons while in Great Britain it was only 17 gallons. This means Great Britain uses per, capita ; only 31.2 per cent as much milk as the United States per capita. " It is realized by some of England's leaders that a3 a race the English people will lose stamina and other qualities'; that make for intelligent leadership and good workmanship, as compared with the United States, if the present unequal living .conditions shall persist. PENALTIES FOR CRIME There are many persons who believe capital punishment should be abolished. They point out that it does not safe- guard to the desired extant, against crime and that it is obsolete as a punishment for crime. Asked what preventive and punitive measures should be taken upon conviction for capital offenses there is usually hesitancy in the reply. . The most common alternative sug - gested is "imprisonment for life t .' And if imprisonment for life were- made to mean the remainder of the criminal's years in confinement at "work ' adapted to Instabilities and productive of results really worth while, there would, no doubt, be far less clamor f or the dfeath punishment than now. l? : : f ' '" f- ' , More than any otner features, the numerous escapes from prisons, unwise use of pardon authority and repeated crimes of -individuals' -freed before the "expiration of their terms of imprisonment : are responsible for public expression favoring the noose in Oregon. If the electorate were assured that full prison penalties would prevail, it is conceivable that ' , capital punishment would be abolished.- Meanwhile, prison discipline should be strict but humane, , 5 every prisoner should be employed in productive labor and parole authority kept free from sentiment and prejudice.' J IN WHOSE FAVOR? ' v ' The man who meets with the bootlegger in his back office - thus becoming a party to a conspiracy to violate constitu- r tional law has mighty poor taste to complain ef a bandit who r meets him in the front off ice. . :4 ; j f - i r i . . . The man who does . business with an outlaw' need not 'be surprised if outlaws break in on his business. The difference f between himself and the noozelegger is small with the odd The Pacific International Livestock Exposition is held in Portland " from October 31 to November 7. Its purpose is to encourage livestock ; raising in every community in the Northwest, if to a greater extent5 By livestock production surrounding Salem. ' Diversified farming is a npr.Ptitw for the successful farmer. A complete larm stiouici nave some livestock to utilize all crops to the fullest extent. No locality can pro than can the territory . . .... . dk i i White the Pacific International Livestock Exposition is ot vitai importance to the livestock industry, it is of almost equal importance to the farmer to show him the type of cattle; sheep, hogs or other animals which would be most suitable, for his particular requirements. The First National Bank takes a particular interest in the Pacific International Livestock Exposition because, .as the result of prizes which the bank offered to boys and girls for Raising sheep, calves, pigs and poultry, a number pfhe. members of, its clubs won awards at last year's eicposRi bank club members are showing stock; ' j ,.y, . ;, ' - ' " ' r ' ' The bank's judging team, made-tip of three boys, goes to the exposition by being the' highest scoring team in; Marion county, which entitles it to compete against all Northwestern! teams. Last year the bank's judging team won highest honors, scoring over all Northwest ern teams. t j , Eldon Fox, champion club boy, winner of highest honors over all club members entered, (won champion ribbon on his sheep entered with his club entries in open competition against all breeders. u The First National! Bank is'much interested in encouraging boys and girls to become better farmers breeders and livestock and pro ducers of essential products in this community. .. Boys and girls trained in -habits of usefulness and thrift will make the highest type of citizens. - i The Pacific International Livestock Exposition is a great cduca- tional event and farmers who can possibly do so should attend the ' Exposition and take their families;'-Make" farming -interesting for ;the boy and girl and the problem of keeping the young people 6n the - farms will be settled.' j 1 ' ' - H " First National Bank Salem, Oregon eV.
