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 Speculation as to Eugene's .pre

' game at which everyone can play.
' The beauty of It is that one .per

favor.- The consus year of 1930 is
' still far enough away that all pros

IMNCrXO, FAST AND WEST
Modern, dancing find support in

long opposed the social dance of
western nations, holding that the

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

cused, but which, aa a ruin m-i-
not be eallv proven, yet. neverthe
less. 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"

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

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

the plan is, and not be subjected
to a change of. plan.' whenever,
the council sees fit to change It.

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.

.The Intelligent reading public

good men. men of education and
keen Intellectuality, dependable in

ooo
To carry the lmlle further, lot
me relate a circumstance of horns
life. 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

his political complexion wus. He
votes It straight good, had or In

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

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

or the positive view he hat on

CiMMvdiqr Snixxmaor lo Senator
lAtul I Full or cuniiHlratioua
EUOKNR. Ore.. Dec. 5. (To the
Editor) Will the senate seat Mr.
Nye of North Dakota to rill the
seat of the late Senator Ladd?
The political situation la little
understood outside of the bound
ary of North Dakota, and so iiiueh
ha been said that those on the
outside havo roaon to wonder.
Let Us go back to tho electlnn
of the lalo Senator Ladd five
years ago. At that time he was
president nf the agricultural col
lege, a position he had held -for
many years. Ho had so endeared
himself to every one, regardless
of politic, by hi honest dealings
with every thing committed to
him that when he waa spokon of
as a candidate for the high office
of senator ho was accept jd ns a
man fit and worthy nf the ofrice.
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

Throo years ago Oovornor
Nostos appealed for offlco n gov

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

Horo Is where thn si rife began.
Mr. Frnsler who hnd boon recalled
as govornor two yonrs heforo do.

of tho stnto, by a largo majority nt

caiulldata against Mr, O'Connor for

Nostos was to bo supported for
governor! nnd O'Connor for tho

lo nnd behold whon tho ballots

The lsue will be all ranrounded
