The French Debt Issue
The financial stability of the world depends iust as much
upon the settlement of the French war debts as future peace
depends upon a security pact for France. Nothing could
precipitate a greater industrial depression throughout the
globe than u French financial crash, with resultant bank
ruptcy and repudiation of debts, and without an international
agreement maintaining the integrity of France against
aggression, another world war is a certainty.
The Dawes plan temporarily, nt any rate, settled the
German reparations and provided a basis for eventual
liquidation. Equally important is Hie adoption of a plan for
the liquidation of French and other war debts.
The French proposal is to pay America about $4,000,000,
000, in annual payments for 02 years, beginning at $25,000,
000 a year and going up to $90,000,000. This is little more
than the principal, interest amounting only to about one-half
of one percent. The American proposal is that the French
pay the principal plus 3'a percent interest both being
figured in annuities, the amounts growing larger with the
years.
Money advanced to France during the war was largely
spent in America for supplies, and the whole amount could
be charged to the price paid for winning the war without
seriously feeling it. Moreover, the French stood the brunt
of the attack and suffered not only the greatest casualties,
but the greatest destruction of property. Therefore the
United States should be lenient and not play the role of
Shylock in negotiating a settlement.
The Changing Fair
The Oregon Stale Fair is a progressive institution and
grows with the state. Every year sees it a little bigger, a
little better, a little more complete than the year before.
The fair is an exhibit of the state's resources and products
and reflects its livestock, agricultural, horticultural, indus
trial and economic progress and development. It is more
educational and instructive than ever.
The social revolution wrought by the auto, is in evidence
at the fair. Vast crowds come and go at will, instead of
lingering for days as formerly. Thousands visit the fair
without even seeing Salem. The movie and radio have
undermined the popularity of the tinsel shows and sure-thing
games. The elimination of betting has all but killed the race
track. Other new features, such as the horse show, have
been added, but do not replace the old.
Yes, the fair is changing with the times and becoming
more and more, as suitable buildings are provided, a compre
hensive display of the resources upon which our prosperity
is founded and less and less an amusement enterprise dom
inated by carnival and racing features lo entertain the public
on a holiday.

Spectacular Crime
Career Concluded In
Futile Prison Break
Lincoln, Neb.( Sept. 29. (A.
P. ) With killing late yesterday
of Fred Brown, life termer at the
state penitentiary here, finis was
written on a career of crime which
probably hud few parallels in the
country. Brown was shot down by
a guard -during an attempted pris
on break which he and Hoy Smith,
another prlsonor, were preparing
to make secure with aid of explo
sives. The men were fired upon Just
as they were fixing to set oft sev
eral charges ot uitro-glycerine.
Clarence K. Moreo, mail clerk at
the prison, was also killed during
the fusllate of shots and Smith 1e
in the prison hospital, where his
chances for recovery are said to
be slight. Ho was wounded in the
shoulder, necessitating the ampu
tation of hie arm.
Brown's unlawful operations
began early in life. At the age oi
10 he was convicted and sentenced
to the state penitentiary for the
murder of an elderly couple In
Dundy county. He was pardoned
after serving seven years.
After obtaining tits freedom
Brown wnt to Iowa nnd embark
ed upon a series of crimes ranging
from burglary of houses to attlo
mobfle theft which kept him hi
and out of the state prison there
for a number of yea 113.
In 1920. Brown went to Omaha,
was arrested and pleaded guilty
to grand larceny. Ho received a
sentence of from one to ten years
in the Nebraska state prison on
this charge, but fatc Intervened
again and ho was paroled.
Probably the most sensational
capture iu the mini's career of
crime was enacted at Omuha in
May, 1922, when, after eutlciug
two young women into an auto
mobile he drove them to hia hut
on tho outskirts of the city and
kept them, chained up for two
days. On' the second day, the
women managed to attract the ot
teutiou of a man who was working
iu a field adjacent to tho hut and
tlio man started to the cabin to
rescue them. He was Intercepted
by U row 11, however, who drew two
guns and forced the man into the
hut where he was also chained up.
After telling the man he was go
ing out to dis his grave, Brown
departed and during his absence
the man managed to free himself
and notified officers.
The officers arrived but iu thf
meantime Brown had fled in the
man's automobile which had boe'.i
parked near the field. Tho prison
ers wtM'c released and then follow
ed one of the most senational man
hunts ever conducted i this sec
tion of the country.
The fugitive fled from town to
town and everywhere he went a
trail of crime was left behind. He
was finally apprehended near
Medicine Bow, Wyo., after a gun
battle with a sheriff's posse in
which he wns seriously injured.
He was brought hack to Omaha j
on a stretcher and placed In the
county jail. Several days later he
was given a Hfe sentence in the
penitentiary for kidnaping.
Physically, Brown did not have
thp appearance of a gunman. He
was scarcely five feet tall and
weighed lesa than a hundred anj
twenty pounds.
