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 - . . -

t It is worth while to contrast conditions in. England. 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 .

surprised if outlaws break in on his business. The difference

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

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 ' '
