SCXDAY, DECEMBER 6. 1935 THE KEAli TROUBLE ; In tho seemingly endless contro versy that rages over capital pun lshment one hears It said frequent ly: that the 'criminal, or the' pros pective criminal, fears life Impris onment more than the death pan ally. Death, It Is argued by those who support this thesis, is quick and reasonably painless, while a life of Imprisonment Is lone and terrible. " Hence, we are told, lm prlsonment Is a more effective de terrent of crime than death. - As a purely academic proposition. that sound reasonable; but it doesn't seem to stand the test of actual experience. Take the case of Gerald Chapman, the cold-blooded astern killer, for example. Chap man is under sentence of death, but he advances the plea through his lawyers that he can't be hanged until he has served a term of im prisonment to which he had been previously condemned. Tom Mur ray, of Oregon fame, taking his cue from Chapman, offers the same p!ea that la. that he cannot bo hanged legally until he has served a previous prison term, f These two cases dispose rather effectively of the argument that the criminal would rather be hanged and be, done with It than to face the prospect of life imprison ment. Chapman and Murray a willing to take the chances of both imprisonment and hanging if only the dreaded day of impending death can be pushed off into tha future. There is no doubt in their jtainds as to which is the graver penalty.. It Is, we think, a waste of time to argue at length under existing con ditions of law enforcement; as to which is the more dreaded penalty, for the fundamental trouble Is that' iielther is enforced with dependable certainty. Occasionally there 4s a case of prompt justice, a . when Murderer Lloyd was j captured, tried, convicted and handed, within three months of the date of his crime, but ' for every case of this sort there are dozens where) delay or miscarriage of Justice .works, to '.minimize the dread of punishment that Is the most effective "deterrent of crime. ' -" . Capital punishment Is admittedly a. gruesome thing, and there are few who do not hope that It may seme day be abolished. But there can be no doubt as to which Is the more dreaded, death or life lm prlsonment; The capital criminal -knows that once he Is dead he will ': be dead to' stay, and ho knows equally well that life imprisonment is likely to be only a temporary so- journ In unpleasant surroundings. The great trouble with life imprls- ' onment is that it Is too often only brief imprisonment -i-T ',.-, WHY EUGENE GROWS ' i Speculation as to Eugene's .pre nt population is an interesting ' game at which everyone can play. ' The beauty of It is that one .per son's guess Is as good as another's, ; so tnere is a free fiold and no favor.- The consus year of 1930 is ' still far enough away that all pros . j ent guos8Cs will be forgotten by , thon, so the pastime is not ' only . ? fascinating but safe as well,- .' But in this protty game jif epocu j latlon there are a few facts that ;land out.' One is that'. Eugene' It i growing greatly. No ono can drive ! over tho city without Knowing:. that ' for a certainty. Another Is that : It . Is growing rapidly In commercial ,. Importance. ; It Is alroady past the I atage of a, mere trading point "I All Oregon la (rrowlntr. and this growth Is. certain to result soon in tho building ' of anothef city of j metropolitan or near-metropolitan " rnnk, Eugono It looatod right to " be this city. It has the back coun i1 -try. It has, or. is getting, the transportation facilities. Iti peo pla believe It U going to make a city, and they liave the eouruge to back their conviction with thalr money and their effort. Thl perhaps the moat Important pot' (ostlon of all. So. . everything; considered. It doesn't really matter much whether Eugene's population today la 18.000 ?r :o,000 or 85,000. The bis thine la that It la growing, and that It has the resources, both ma torlal and human, to sustain rapid growth ovar a Ionic period of time. Having; thera things, it la only nee- essary to wait and the oentut bu reau will supply tha figures for ut aom lour and a' half years bene. IMNCrXO, FAST AND WEST Modern, dancing find support in an unexpeeted quarter. Japan has long opposed the social dance of western nations, holding that the public embracing of men and wo men la Indecent Latterly, however, occidental dancing haa been mak ing some headway In that country And now a Japanese writer named Koaho Sel makes a forthright de fense of it ' Confucius, he reminds his fellow. countrymen, took dancing as a mat ter of course, writing In one place that "a person does not know how Joyful It Is when the Joy has reached its climax dancing un. consciously. - He dips Into the Hebrew Bible, too. telling "liow Miriam danced after the Israelites crossed the Red Sea, and how David "danced before the Lord with all his might" - In fact Mr. Sel remarks, dancing seems to have been generally re-. llgious In its origin. It was In dulged ln first In joy and gratitude toward some deity, and finally be came an act of rejoicing In and for oneself. It Is no longer sensible. In Japan any more than In America, he says, to keep dancing as a soli tary pleasure. Man Is a social anl. mat, and the dancing of the two sexes together ln public Is a good way of Indulging the social instinct So now we may all hop around with clearer consciences. It Is re assuring to find the Orient approv. Ing of our occidental dances, even If we can't wholly approve them ourselves. '" 1 HAMLET rS MASQUERADE "Hamlet" masquerading In. mod ern clothes, had his brief splurge on the Broadway stage and la now withdrawn. Reason lack of pat ronage..'' All the publicity obtained by this defiance of stage custom and historical propriety failed to save the show. A similar experiment made by the eminent Shakespearian actor, Robert Mantel!, In St Louis, Is said to have had little more success. Meanwhile Walter.' Hampden's "Hamlet" continues serenely in New York, evidently pleasing the public and paying Its way. It rep resents the melancholy Dane pretty much as usual, which is to say ac cording to the manner of the time and country depicted by the play. ' The natural inference la that Intelligent.- play-goers and play goers generally are more Intelligent than they are usually given credit fqrr-prefer the- stage atmosphere created by having play character! belonging to other times and places dressed as they would have been ln real life, because It helps the Illu sion. The same Inference applies to scenery. There is no more rea son for dressing medieval Hamlet like the present Prince of Wales than there would be ln dressing tho latter like Hamlet . One sheda a sympathetic tear with little Pauline Brown and her prize-winning calf. The calf repre sents an achievement and all that and Is worth a lot of money, but to nine-year-old Pauline it is Just a pet. World disarmament is a fine Idea, but hard to get at While we are waiting for It, why not disarm a few thousand of the thug who are close enough to lay hands on? An actor, suing for divorce. claim that his wife threw egg at him. Well, ham and eggs aro a mighty good combination, aren't they? . Young La Follette's statu a a Republican seem to depend pretty largely, on the numbor of vote needed ln the senate. Early Days In Eugene (Prom the Morning Register, December 6, 1906.) W. L.

In spile of such possible ac cusation. I shall proceed to snv to the pennle of Eugene thnt I do not believe two of the three proposed chnrter amendment should be carried. The charter amendment first appearing In the voters' pamphlet relates to the glvtnr to the com mon council the right to re-asseiu pronertv for public Improvements, whenever anv assessment thereto for mad shall hire been determ ined to be invalid, or when the council thinks there mav be some question aa to Its validity, and provides for a hearing of protest before the council, prior to such re-assessment. It occurs to me thnt it should be Just s easy to follow all legal requirements for the making of an assessment In the first place, as it would be later, when attempt ing to re-assess. In my iudgment the common council, as Its affairs have been administered for the past several vears already have too much authority in most mat ter. The courts hove gone to the extreme limit In holding the coun cil to be the whole show relative to municipal Improvements and as. segments, and. while the law pro vides fnr'peotests to be made, and for a henrine of the same. I ask how much does It ordlnnrilv pro fit one to protest? I have seen too many protests argued before the council, to longer have any faith In the efflcAcv of a protest. Most of the time, the council will, with a rather bored air. give one respectful attention, while voicing a protest, but one can usually re ceive respectful . attention. If he win but stand upon the street cor ner and speak, and I submit that I one place Is usually about as of- standing that our nation has a" fectlve as the other. In so far hL...,i .. ... . . .... getting any results from the pro- j tear are concerned. In my judgment, this pronosed charter amendment simply per- mils the council to make all the . errors possible In the matter of : assessments, and then to fix them I up artcrwards. when such errors -has already passed Judgment on have been called to their atten- the morlta Or demerits Of the Mlt tlon In other -words, it simply, chell trial. Human nature is hu makes for loose and careless work man nature wherever It Is found, upon the part of the council, nnd. and there 1 no ovent that Is worthy as the amendment Is drafted, per- of newspaper comment but what is mlts even a different plan of np- decided by the Intelligent reader portlonment to be made when the of this time and- age before It is properly is - re-assessed. The decided by the courts. We all take proper plan should be followed in a, fling at either condemning or the first place, and the peonle are condonlno- m en ami nrnmen. n i-1 1 entitled to know at all times what the plan is, and not be subjected to a change of. plan.' whenever, the council sees fit to change It. n omrr it simpiy gives do whatever It desires to do as to assessing your property. - . , True, many cities have charter provision allowing a re-assessment for improvements when a previous assessment has been de clared void, but tho proposed amendment Is too generous and too broad ln Its sweep, and vests tne council with too much discre tionary power. This amendment should be de feated. The next proposed amendment with which I quarrel Is that one proposing to change the rate of Interest on certificates of sale on foreclosure from 10 to 15 per cent. 1 say. It Is un-American to charge 15 per cent for that Just as much as It Is un-American to charge 16 per cent upon anything else. The supposition Is that one who has not paid an assessment has failed to do so because he has not the money with which to pay it, ana wny, provided ne can se cure the money from some source to redeem his property, he should be penalized to the tune of 15 per cent more than I can see. It looks to me more like an effort to wholly prevent people from saving their property, where for some reason they have had to let it be sold at a forced sale. If the city gets Its money and 10 per- cent with it, it should be satisfied There are enough 8hylocks ln the world, without the municipalities assuming tne roie. This amendment, should like wise be dofcatcd. Thore is much more that could be said against both of the amend ments to which I havo referred, but I do not deslro to mako this article so long that no one will read It. I do howover, want tho votors to think theso matters over, and If you agroe with mo. turn out and voto against tho proposed amendments. FRED. E. SMITH.

It is not reasonable to mink that thn army or navy wnu d or could give an unbiased decision, aa a court where army and navy method are condemned bv the accused. The Mitchell trial proves this Asser. tlon very conclusively. . Mitchell's great orrenao seems, to hiv. been criticising the wisdom of the ormy and navv methods of handling the air aorvlce of which neither the armv nor navy oiiicem were nuniiinr from actual contact witn me airplane service.

I have a brother-in-law, a clean Christian- man, with clear judgment In business affairs. He Is dependable in all his business rolatlons and honored and respected by the community in which he hat lived for more than 30 years He Is a Democrat, and when I say Democrat, I don't mean tho half baked kind that scratches his tick et until you could trot toll Just what his political complexion wus. He votes It straight good, had or In different He nover questions the wisdom Of Ml party leaders In the choice of the men on his ticket This brother-in-law of mine la al ways sure before oloctlon that If his party Is not put in power the whole country will go to the bow wows sure. I am a Republican, and from my viewpoint If disaster Is to come to our country It would be because my brothor-ln-law's party was In powor. ' Here wo both sit In Judgmont of coming events, both looking squarely at past his tory, and both seeing things differ ently, and both If I do say It of myself honestly convinced his op inion In tho eorvlce of his party to his country is oorrect. So the con demnation or exoneration of both men and nations Is largely formed from projudico through our early training. , i . .. . This brings us back to the Mit chell trial. Tho-' Judges in -this court sceno are representing the prosecution. They aro identified with tho vory thing Mitchell was condemning a being wrong In tho servlco to which they aro attached. Those men have beon trained In the army and would sacrlflco their lives -ifor that servlco. A -good general aees no .obstacles or bar rlor when ' service to his depart ment is callod for. ' If we, as cit izens, ' vlowlng ovents, render our Judgment from prejudicial view points, now can -Mitchell - or tho general public hope to got an lm- partiui judgment from a tribunal made up entirely of armv or navV monoid In thatsorvco. Whatever tho old In that servlco Whatever the sentence Is to ho. we may rest as sured that It will ho from an army and navy standpoint, nnd will not bo complimentary to either Mitchell or the positive view he hat on army and navy affair. Mitchell's nn mo is "1 lunula," as far offi cial position Is concerned In liny servlco controlled by either ot these department.

Ho waa selected by tho people and elected by the pooplo, detesting Senntur Axel Oronnn who had been aonntor for sevoral years. It may be said hero his election waa due to the unltod voto of the non partisans, who were thore In power. He that as It may the fact la he went to the senate and bo csus he could not side In with all that the Republicans proposed his action finally lod to hi being .....u um ui mo jnriy. jt i n Tnil known fact that the world eouit I ono of tho present administra tion pot plans, but Is vigorously opposed by aXenator llorsh. Will the Republican pnrty read him out ns they did sevoral other a year ago 7 I havo mentioned the Non-Partisans as entering tho political field. That wa nine yeara ago. When tho prosont Sonntor Frasler became govornor. Two yoars aftor ho waa waa roturned by an overwhelming majority, so great that a Repub lican member nf thn legislature ex pressed It that his voice was "equal to tho voice of a pet canary In the jail" now lot me any hero that the stnto hnd always beon under tho Republican parly and when thoy wore swept out nf offlco tho Non-Parllsnns began In put Into effect measuros they hnd asked of the Jtepubllcan party and bolng so grent In power they per haps carried tholr ambitions too far. But nil their doings wnro not hnd. When Governor Frasler ap pealed for a third term, flvo yonrs ago, ho was again victorious but with a grout ly reducod following hocauso nnnllinr purty known as tho Indnpondunt votors louguo came Into bolng. This pnrty wn formed to combat tho Non-Part-, Isan and wa formed to combat tho old parties and this was tho party that eloatod the lato Senator Ladd. Mr. Frasler and his fnllowors bo lng again In powor continued to carry on tho policies Initiated by them and tho Indopnndnnts. Thinking tho fiituro of the stale was shipwreck procooded to recall Mr. Frnsler and tho attornoy gen eral of tha state. In this thoy wore 'successful. Thoy used a dual program. Soloctlng as a candidate for govornor a Republlcnn In tho person of Mr. Neslos und a Demo crat ns attornoy g o ii o r a I. Kvnrylhlng looked calm on Iho surfneo but was still boiling undor nonth. , Throo years ago Oovornor Nostos appealed for offlco n gov ornor hut Johnson, the Democratic attorney general Sought tho office of Justlco of tho supramo court and tho ofrino of United States sonntor aooklng n candidate, Mr. O'Connor, a Domocrat, waa chosan for tho rnoo. Horo Is where thn si rife began. Mr. Frnsler who hnd boon recalled as govornor two yonrs heforo do. footed. McC'umhnr, senior senator of tho stnto, by a largo majority nt tho primaries and bncamo llio caiulldata against Mr, O'Connor for the Honatn, It was tho understand ing of tho two old purlins that Nostos was to bo supported for governor! nnd O'Connor for tho sonato. This looked vory fine hut lo nnd behold whon tho ballots wore counted Mr. Nostot wns elected by over 1(1.000 mnlnrliv whllo O'Connor Wa dnfontod for sonntor py Frnsler, Tho recalled governor wus elnutod senator by over 0000 majurlly, Now who bnlrnyod llio trust Y A 1 co It the ufflio of uiiiilor wits loo Impiiiuinl u place for a Duuiii crnt to fill us thn uppimriinco of i ho tii'uiigth In tha sonata would Indlcnlo, The next Hum wa have a cimriliit Is In 11)14, Whim Mr Miiille, tho present governor of thu nimu tii-M-iiiou nemos ut the prl inui ivo, i mo nun u sin uninir iiii.u. lu tho Kopubllcniis and they begun rti look to son what wiu best to do. Finally a convention was held and It waa doulilud In support the uoniocruiiu nominee rut- uuvoriiur Hut thu iiomlueo, I Mr. Iluivur..,,, i of Ibn Democrat was was not the uminliuoiis L'linlco tif lint pni-iy rur guvci-uiir by any menus. At the election in jMivetuncr wa find Mr Morlln, llio .-son-l'm llmin, elected ns governor of tho suite by a Inrgu mnjurlly. Who elouted him? nuinn iiemocrnts, Dome llopulille unn anil almost tne solid vuln or l he Non-I'nrllsans, Now wluil huvo we, both svmtlor uf the alum mid l hu guvorhiiia or llio alnio in- enemies of the powers at Wnali- iiigiiin ll n il iiihii tne ltiulillciiiii of .Nor III Dakota when llio li-m.. lecture met Inst January Mr, Hurilo trom ino time no look urr.ee. uegiin to snow no nan a mm, I r ma own auu began to uao It, In III selecllnu uf aid ha chose n rank Iti'iiiibllcan ihiilrniiin nf n, el t-niumlanliilt of llevlla l.nke one uf the uroitleat tiruiighulda uf nepuiiiicnns in tne slate.

II iiiinna. esKovornnr nr the stale. rill the ofrice. We hear nobody being suggested by the liumocrals mr tney Know tnoy Have no chance in tne worm, ' Mr. Horllo alts firm.

Ila know. n thousand of others do, that If nn etoonnn is neni it will not bo a Republican thnt will bo elected. Horiles motto since be look offlco has been to eut down expenses. 1 Finally Mr. Horllo decides tn hold a special election next Jims the same date as the primaries The lsue will be all ranrounded as thero wilt be thn two elections one to fill the unexpired term of the death nf Iho lain Sonntor Ijidd and one for a new senator for n six years term. Hnd editor Mr. Nostos or Mr. Ilanna received nn appointment to tne seal inn right of the govern tn make the appointment would have never, have boen questioned In the slnte and I nm safe In say ing In tha senate either. Hut an other matter arises among .the Non-Parllaano headed by Mr. Lumkee who wns recntled four years ago as attorney general He wa very des:ron of the ofrii-e A more unworthy choice could not be made. Next wo have tho gov ernor making a choice In rill the position and as nil politicians do lie rewards nne or his strong sup. porters. That Is whnt is done every day. Whnt next? The sen ale does not wnnt lo have thn ones' of rejecting tho nomination to they would Ilka to let the su premo court deride ir thn nomination In - constitutional and If It Is roterrod to thut body they will probably give a deolalnn a day or two before tho date let for tho election next June, Now what have we? A spilt In the Demncret party, a split In the Non-Partisans nnd tho ltopubllc- nns not united, so It Is sara tn predict that whon the election I held It will nut be a Democrat nr a Republican thnt will be elected. I would class the stain ns one oi the most doubtrul In the whole or the United States with odds In favor of Sorllo't parly. J. 1IAI.LIDAY.
