; Judge Wickersham's Balloon -
JUDGE WICKERSHAM'S proposal to divide the scope of
sfote and national governments in the field of prohibition
enforcement has aroused "a flurry of press trumpets. Our
first reaction was one of surprise that this learned chairman
of the crime and law enforcement commission would hive
anything to say publicly until his committee was ready to re-
port. To us the commission is like a judge or a jury ; alert to
receive all the facts of the case but silent as to remedy; or
punishment until the hour for decision is at hand,
Mr. Wickersham's proposal appears to be a test balloon
i sent to the camp of the governors to see how they would re
act to a division of prohibition chores. The executives have
maintained to date a Calvin: Coolidge reservr
As long as such radical difference exists between states
on the matter of prohibition enforcement, Mr. Wickersham's
plan sounds nice to propose but impossible; to execute. For
example, New York or New Jersey, both avowedly wet would
be even more a paradise for prohibition abuse if the federal
government were to confine its activities to manufacture, im
portation or shipment alone. With the state government
wet- and unwilling to turn its hand to enforce the law, the
peddlers hazard would be small.' Once the liquor was se
cured he could wave off federal officers who would be out of
their department if they attempted to arrest the peddler for
sale. "This isn't your, department, fellows, our New York
' retailer, could say and the federal boys could scurry on for
the man with the stilL
Mr. Wickersham's proposal would be more feasible if
he would ask the federal government to concentrate its ef
forts on states avowedly wet. Maine, Kansas, Oregon, Wash
ington, such states were doing a good job of prohibition en
forcement before Mr. ,Volstead arrived. Let the federal gov
ernment center its attack on the newer recruits under the
national prohibition enactment.
Obviously, Mr. Wickersham's committee has much study
- yet before; it; it is after the facts and until they are all in
any suggestion must be regarded as unauthoritative. When
Mr. Wickersham speaks again we. hope it will be from the
more conclusive reasons gleaned from the commission's
findings. :

BITS for BREAKFAST
-By R. J. HENDRICKS
Curbing-Radio Dealers
rUSIC dealers of Salem are justified in their complaint
Against the ordinance pending beforethe council where
by operation of a radio or phonograph in a place of business
is made a nuisance, provided that a door or window is left
open and the music or speech can drift out to the streets
The fact behind the measure.is the. existence of a nuis-
j ance in the city where a loud speaker is run day and night
from outside a building. The ordinance, inclusive as it is,
is brought up to correct this specific difficulty. .
Statute books are already jammed with legislation raised
by some aggrieved, party who sees general law as the only
means of curbing a specific offense. Such law making al
ways is provocative of injustice through discrimination. It
is therefore difficult to enforce. Such statutes slumber on
the books until finally removed when someone points out the
' utter futility of the enactments.
We cannot see what specific injury is done the public
with the occasional noise which is broadcast from a music
store, j This week as we walked down High street several se
' lections from a popular light opera drifted out from a store
and the entertainment was fully as pleasant as the Oregon
' sun which beamed down so brightly; When these phono
graphs or radios are not run after hours they bother no one
and their operation is a decided adjunct to sale of instru
ments. - j
'If it can be proved that running a radio or a phono
graph in a place of business with the door Jor window open
is a nuisance then no new ordinance is needed to abate the
practice. Let it be declared a nuisance and let police action
be taken to stop it. But a seven-section ordinance, with more
fines and more rigamore for the police to handle is adding
unnecessary regulation ir the city. The ordinance should be
indefinitely postponed.
Congressional Reapportionment
THE Klamath Falls Herald is not pleased-with the idea of
having more congressmen seated at Washington, D. C,
" . believing that "democracy is good only as far as it breeds
leadership." How congressional reapportionment, rather
than increase, can effect- democracy or leadership is more
than we can see. j .V J ., '
f- In actuality the present session of congress proposesjto
readjust representation rather, than increase it. Under th
constitution, every ten years the number of congressional
members from each state is determined "on a ratio made by
congress which provides for a definite number of citizens
- for each seat Jn the lower house. Through political ma
neuvers this requirement was ignored jn 1920. The reap
; portionment, in addition to being constitutionally required
is necessitated in fairness to states whose population has
grown markedly in the last two decades. ,
We agree with the Klamath Falls paper that a house too
large would x be unweildly but certainly 435 men and women
are not too many to represent a nation of 110,000,000 citi
, zens. The work of the house is done largely in committee
, and thus each representative has very definite tasks assigned
' him. If all congressmen were as loquacious as are senators,
the plaint from southern Oregon would be justified.
Os West, who Is a publicity gainer par excellence, wants to do

affair and Warden Meyers could furnish some of his Inmates for the
warm-up of the ex-governor. The. only trouble la that advancing
years might handicap Os and the Kentucky KlkK of Portland would
be out one of its bst advertised candidates. Os better stick to his
' horses for excitement and leave bootlegger baiting to younger hands.

Giving him a chance: I
b S
An editorial In the Oregonian
of Saturday, the 13 th, under the
heading, "Giving he Convict a
Chance," comends the new law
which makes compulsory educa
tion a part of the penal system of
that state, giving the position of
Rodney Brandon, director of pub
lic welfare for Illinois in these
words: "It is the duty of the
state, when it incarcerates a man.
to Improve him, not as he would
have improved himself had be
been free, but to Improve him
as he should have been Im
proved." "Human decency demands this
of the state. The state should so
reconstruct the felon, if possible,
as to make him a law abiding
and-helpful citizen on his restora
tion to sociey. To educate the
convict is to Improve the state.
It is as simple as that." .These
are some of the words of the
Oregonian article.
The duty is as simple as that,
but the problem is by no means as
simple. The public must be edu
cated to the simplicity of the duty
of the state. Age old prejudices
must be overcome. The man re
leased from prison must be given
a chance by the public to have the
chance which the state ought to
fit him to take. Aye, there's tho
rub. The public will not do it.
Not- now. Perhaps not for a long,
time.
m
H. W. Meyers, superintendent
of the Oregon state penitentiary,
after reading the article, wrote
that paper as follows: "The Ore-
gonian's broad vision relative to
the thought of 'Giving the Con
vict a Chance,' as expressed in the
editorial of recent date, bears out
a thought and suggestion of the
writer In his report for the bienni
al period ended September 30,
1928, as superintendent of the
state penitentiary. First, for pur

he is best fitted. As stated, in my
report there was pointed out the
advisability of having a vocational
instructor with educational qual
ifications to assist in building; a
vast number as trained craftsmen.
or at least giving them a school

as the ages of a large percentage
of the population range from 17
to 26 years, and possibly only 60

measure up as an asset to society
rather tha as a liability. One
canjigure the economical aide in
so doing. Furthermore, mahyj
prisoners are received physically

to diseases and methods of living.
Hence the necessity of corrective
treatment so they can be In as

ble -when released. Also, it Is

' - ; S
f Oregon Is fortunate In having
a man at the head of its prison
with the views of Henry W. Mey
ers." And still more fortunate: In
having dne with the ability to di
rect Its affairs so- that the insti
tution Is on the way towards re
alizing these Ideals. )
- sKv s . , - ' r
He knows, and all who study
the subject know, that the first
requisite In the process of rehabil
itation is work. The next is wag
es. The ability to write and read
and understand is not enough.
San Quentin in California has the
best prison educational system in
the country. But It lacks indus
tries, and its percentage of re
formations is low; low compared
with that of the Stillwater, Min
nesota, state prison, where It is 85
per cent; as high as that of the
juvenile reformatories for boys in
this country. But the Stillwater
prison is self supporting through
its Industries, has a wage scale,
and also compulsory educatiop. It
has been self supporting since
1906.
It
The revolving fund law provid
ing for the industries at the Ore
gon penitentiary was copied large
ly from the one for the Stillwater
prison. It will lead to the samo
results. The difference is that in
Oregon the system is working out
its own salvation, excepting for
initial appropriations to set it go
ing, while Minnesota provided an
ample and large fund In the be
ginning; enough for the whole
capital investment for its indus
tries. The Oregon prison is providing
the major part of its own capital
investment for its industries, and
also the funds to carry on by buy
ing the rawa products, principally
so far flax, 'which takes an annu
ally mounting sum, because of
the nature of that industry. That,
is, little of the returns for con
verting flax into its primary com
mercial products comes back for a
year or more after the farmers
who grow the flax get their mon
ey. S It
If Oregon had acted, or could
under her constitution have acted,
along the' lines of the Minnesota
legislature, the Oregon penitenti
ary would now be self supporting,
and able to. provide besides a
wage for every worker. Inmates
working with flax now' receive
wages. It will be so in three to
five years, barring unforeseen
events to delay the program. If
low interest funds were available'
for an entire new plant, in addi
tion to what could be realized on
the present one, the Oregon in
stitution could right now do all
the things it is going to do in
three to five years, besides "provid
ing the interest and a sinking
fund to wipe out the extra expen
diture for a new plant.
- Thus, be it known to the Ore
gonian editorial writer, his own
state is on the way to taking high
er grounds than Illinois occupies,
in a way that he justly commends.
No northern state exceptnlg Min
nesota has a prison that Is self
supporting. Missouri comes near

have a way of proclaiming doleful
warnings. Perhaps that Is the
only way they think they make

The Bible is replete with its
prophecies of woe. The sins of
the race caused Noah to foretell
the devastating flood. Jeremiah
uttered his lamentations on the
impending fate f the chosen peo

picture of never-ending punish

depict the dooms of later days.
Daniel saw broken kingdoms and
polluted sanctuaries.
Much of the preaching which
the faithful have listened to has
been modeled on the pattern St the
Hebrew jprophets. So powerfully
did Jonathan Edwards describe
the fate of the damned that his
auditors seized the pillars of the
eiiurch to save themselves from
pitching, immediately into fiery
torments. Woe, woe, woe. ;
Just what we wonder are these
woes, which never seem to come?
Forever warned, humanity seems,
thus far to have escaped the pre
dicted disaster. Do we" live in a
fool's paradise? Are we dancing
on the brink of destruction? And
what is this chaos into which we
soon may plunge? Or Is it all
just old wives' tales born of an
cient, fears, preserved by heredi

merely the scarecrow to frighten
weak minds? A bogey of ignor

Life is a thing of lights and

Battle, on Floor
WASHINGTON. July 20 .
(AP) The Democrats began or
ganizing today for the senate
floor contest over the tariff.
Meeting la the office of Sena,
tor Simons' of Korth Carolina,
ranking minority member of the
finance committee, the eight De

that SenatprTBorah of Idaho, a
Republican independent is of the
opinion that these commodities
ought to. remain on. the free list.
He doubts whether the farm
er would obtain any benefit from
a tariff on hides and believes if
a duty Is to be applied, jit .should
be placed on the live animal,
thereby insuring the benefit.. .
The white house denied a pub
lished report that President
Hoover had asked the tariff com
mission to furnish him the name
of all Democrats in congress who'
had made requests of It, '
Under the minority program,
the two Democrats who serv A.on
each of the four sub-committees

house bill will be in chargeiori the
floor of the particular sections of
the measure considered by them.
While no details were agreed
upon. Senator Simmons said a
vigorous stand .would be made
against the house flexible provi
sions, which not only retain the
authority of the president to Ad
just tariff rates tip or down, but
give him the power to change the
basis of valuation if competitive
conditions cannot be equalized by
other methods.
Another important change in
the administrative sections of the
law which the Democrats will
strive to eliminate is that trans
ferring to the secretary of the
treasury the authority now exer
cised by the customs court over
appeals from calculations adopted
by an apprasier.
ALFALFA PROSPERS
r The promotion of the alfalfa
contes is an undertaking to which
the Dallas chamber of commerce
may well look with pride. While
the rapid expansion of alfalfa
growing cannot be attributed to
any great extent to superficial
causes, at the same time seeing
what others are doing is both a
stimulant and a corrective influ
ence. Lessons in alfalfa growing
are learned both from the prize
winner and the failure, with per
haps the emphasis on tbe latter.
As Ralph 'Beck has frequently re
marked, th difficulty in dealing
with the alfalfa situation has been
in? keeping farmers from planting
unsuitable land, rather than in
getting them interested, in the
crop. v
The encouraging fact remains
that Polk county has over - 100
progressive farmers who are mak
ing alfalfa an important item on
their farm program. It also ap-i
pears that the uses of this crop
are daily expanded by the re
sourcefulness of those who are
learning to grow it. Dallas Item-

GRADE CROSSING ACCIDENTS
PREVENTABLE. t,
The one sure remedy for
grade crossing and highway auto
mobile accidents is safe driving.
Accidents generally result from,
carelessness or incompetence In
stead of burdening the people with
compulsory Insurance legislation
and tax Issues to eliminate all
grade crossings, educate the public
and enforce practlal traffic codes.
Reckless and drunken drivers
should not be allowed on high
ways. They are a constant menace
to life -and property. Those who
dash across grade crossings and
give no heed to traffic regulations
should, after warning be deprived
of licenses.
The railroads of the country,
in their great work to reduce ac
cidents, have succeeded in every
phase of the problem but grade
crossing collisions. It takes an
average of - seven seconds for a
train to pass a given spot. Yet
every year thousands ot people,
unwilling to wait the seven sec
onds, lose their lives.
'Accident reduction is mainly a
matter of teaching drivers when to
step on the brake instead of the
accelerator-; Jefferson Review.
