WHO RULES THETT. 8, ORGAN­ IZED SOCIETY OR GANGLAND? There is not a father in the land who would not do th* same as Col Chas. A. Lindbergh did in offering to deal with gangsters if they could bring about the return of hi* kidnapped baby. But when this is written, gang­ land ha* been able to accomplish no more than have the organised peace forces, the police organisations, and it mitigates to some extent the feel­ ing that civilised society in the United States i* at the mercy of racketeers. The supreme effrontery of Al Ca­ pone, in offering to find and return the little tot to its parent*, m ex­ change for his freedom, ha* been uni­ versally condemned by the press and all good citizens. But it is not strange that this scum of the earth, much of which is native in southern Europe, should have an exaggerated opinion of its power, and feel that it can accomplish what the officers can not. And why should they have respect for law enforcement officers? Were it not for th* venality of polio* of­ ficers, the gangsters would never be abl* to acquire the position they do in th* daily life of our large cities. Th* hug* racketeering profits ar* split in buying protection, and gangland knows that it is safe aa long aa th* avaricious ar* named to enforce the law. Some day the pati*nce of Unci* Sam—the people of th« whole United State*—will snap and the gangster will be hunted down without mercy. And the punishment due the kid­ napper is the same as that meted out to the murderer—death. bor’s baby serosa the street. Th* six-y*ar-old girl in Cineinatti who was kidnaped and murdered was our neighbor's little girl. Jimmy DeJut*, th* Ohio boy, kidnaped, was our neighbor’s boy and when th* press dispatch«« said be was found there was joy and thanksgiving in all neighbors’ bom«* of the hind. There is a non-undemtandable de­ pravity in the humand mind that leaps into action in many person* when cir­ cumstance« offer opportunity for them to glut their depravity. The multitude of useless letters, telegrams and phone calls that have poured in on the Lindberghs from irresponsible* and the motl«y erowds that have swammed around the vicinity of their home and made the street of th* little town of Hopewell crowded highway!, are evidences that the abnormal mind does on fresh pasturage. When a notorious gangster offers his •id to help fihd the baby on the con­ dition that his prison sentence is an­ nulled, it looks as though he thought that law and order and public safely ar* subject* for trad* and barter, and to advertise his gangster importance, the meat and drink of his life. "Must gangsters do it ?’’ An editor­ ial in the Oregonian of the 8th insL, covers the ground as to any reported deal made or to b* made with cer­ tain gangsters for their influence with the kidnapers to return the baby. If any such offer has been made, that is a bid for gangster rule, not law rul*. There is a question in my mind wheth- ed Lindbergh ever made that request. It sounds more like gangdom adver­ tising. The statement of Mrs. Lind­ bergh that she places responsibility for the return of her baby boy on the officers of the law. "And that she hss faith in the efficiency and in the ade­ quacy of qualified public servants” for th* reason her father was that kind of man. Sounds as though the self­ advertising of gangland detectives has had its day. R. A. Easton. * frHUlsJ?1 coln-Lanj county line and Derry crook in Lan* county to open th* project for all-year travel, th* report point* out. ‘ “Completion of the reinforced con­ crete bridge across the Rogue river in Curry county eliminates the ferry which will be of material benefit to through traffic,” th* report reads. ‘Th* shortening of the ferry crossing st Coos Bay by the extension of the slips has permitted the establishment o. a 20 minute round trip schedule. Free terries were established Jun* 1, 1951, at the Court highway crossing* of Yaqulna Bay and Atoea Bay which ha* resulted in greatly increased travel. "On th* northern part of the Coast highway, tarfac.ng haa been com­ pleted from Newport through Wald­ port and Yachats to the Lincoln-Lane aunty line.

Ex- oept for the 13 elective state officials —including members of th* supreme court—«nd their subordinates, the vast majority of th* 3500 officials and employees on the state payroll owe their jobs, either directly or indi­ rectly, to either th* board of control or to some member of the board, es­ pecially Governor Meier. While the order fixing a maximum of five cents a mile for the us* of privately owned automobiles on state business, as well as the order fixing maximum allow­ ances for meals and hotel rooms both came out of th* board of control they represent th* expressed policy of Gov­ ernor Meier and in case of this kind his word will doubtless stand aa the law regardless of its strictly legal as­ pects. W. W. Ridehalgh, special investi­ gator who has been checking up on expense accounts, declares that mem­ bers of so-called self-supported boards and commissions, are the most extra­ vagant members of the state family when it comes to high living. As the result of a meeting of one of these commission* in Portland recently the commissioner* presented claim* of 84 a night for hotel rooms with m*ak**«t G2.75 a day. Inasmuch as this ex­ pense was incurred prior to th* date of the board of control order it was approved. Hereafter, Ridehalgh warns, these claim* must come within the specified maximum or they will be turned down. Every registered voter in Oregon, regardless of party affiliation, will be privileged to participate in the pri­ mary election thia year. Hertofore this privilege was limited to members of the two major patries but the non­ partisan judiciary law enacted by the last legislature has let the bars down to all registered voters ao far as the judiciary is concerned.
