Friday, June 21, 1935 SOUTHERN OREGON MINER Pag« 4 Southern Oregon Miner Succeaaor to THE JACKSONVILLE MINER Published Every Friday at 187 East Main Street ASHLAND, OREGON Entered as second-class matter February 15, IMS, at the postoffice at Ashland, Oregon, under the act of March 3, 1879. LEONARD N. HALL ......... Editor and Publisher PHONE ASHLAND 70 Subscription Rates, in Advance: One Year_______ *1.00 Six Months............... 50c ------- Who Shall Die, Murder or Victim* The first execution under the Lindbergh kidnaping law was decreed this week in Muskogee, Oklahoma, to Arthur Gooch, whose comment when sentence was passed was "1 think there have been worse crimes than mine and I don’t see why I should hang." Federal Judge R. L. Williams countered with “That's your only argument . . . but other juries have been cowardly.” And Judge Williams spilled the beans on a lot of court fiascos thereby. It has long been a contention of the Miner that courts and juries center their attenUon, at time of criminal trial, on the wrong person. Rather than regard the problem of a murdered victim and the absolute protection of society against a repetition of the crime, juries, barristers and courts are in clined to dwell too much on the fate of the accused, and worry about his hide. Any time a*man maliciously murders another, he has branded himself as a menace to life. We can do but one of two things: Coddle him or de stroy him. Heretofore we, in nearly all cases, chose to coddle him, chiefly because under the present setup juries are too touched and too tender-hearted to cause cessation of life, even in the breast of a murderer, by their own decision. So far as the Miner is concerned, cold-blooded murder will always appear as one of the worst of crimes. To counteract it, courts must impose the severest of penalties, and rob liberty from those who have stolen liberty from others, snuff life from those who have snuffed life from others. It is a strong view to take, undoubtedly, but it cannot be as cruel as the system—or lack of it—in vogue today, which spares the life of the murderer that he and his kind may live to strike at the innocent again. Case after case has proved that this asser tion is not imagination or prejudice, but shameful fact. A murderer s life is not too great a price to pay for safeguarding the life of a law abiding citizen. Especially so. when the murderous criminal has made it very apparent that one of them must die! ----------------- •------------------ Let’s Have Relief from Relief It will take more than a Boy Scout or a salt- cured sailor to untie the knotty problem of relief which confronts us today. And, naturally enough, the person who makes the giving of relief a prob lem is the fellow receiving it. He is proving to be his own worst enemy. It seems that the combination of traits which characterizes many “on relief” works to their own disadvantage, as well as to that of the community and the state. They are doled into an unhealthy state of mind, which adds nothing to their self respect, their ambition, their morale or to their citizenship. It may be a brutal thing to say, but most persons who have observed typical reliefers will agree—although not too openly—that relief has encouraged a new psychology, a new viewpoint among many which is anything but satisfactory or wholesome. Take, for example, one family a few blocks from the Miner office. Their relief money often is spent LEGAL NOTICE 4—348 b NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION Department of the Interior V. 8. Land Office at Roseburg, Oregon June 18th, 1935 Notice is hereby given that Hil mer Anderson, of White Horse Camp, Calif., care McCloud Lum ber Co., who, on May 19th, 1935, made homestead entry, serial No. 019085, for NtsSW>4 and SE% SW>4, Section 3, Township 39 S, Range 4 E, Willamette Meridian, has filed notice of intention to make final three year proof, to establish claim to the land above described, before G.

CANON, (jn21-28-j!5-12-19) Register. for dgarets. expensive meats and foods that many self-supporUng families will not splurge for. And, to top it off, they drive down every week to relief headquarters in an auto. Yet the rest of us, through taxes, must foot the bill. This unemployment bugaboo will never lessen greatly by artificial or temporary remedies. The only sound way out is for the Individual to work out his own salvation, and the one who needs to do this most is the person who has found it neces sary to accept relief. Yet in a great many instances, those on relief rolls have less individual ambition and resourcefulness than they would have if they were cast out tomorrow knowing their next morsel of food depended on their earning it. Too, it is a paradox that the person on relief expects some outside person or group of persons to do more for him than he will do for himself. However, there may be another explanation, too, for the prevalence of the wrong attitude among those who accept relief and that is that the self eliminating qualities which remove persons from relief rolls who still have a spark of gumption and an idea they are their own keepers. Ne’er-do-wells, indolents, chronic chiselers, unreliables naturally drift into relief, for that system of dole, without too much hard labor and in some cases without effort at all, is right up their alley. So the relief problem seems to have attracted to itself many problem children, so to speak. Not that all on relief rolls are to be criticized, however, any more than all are on the up and up. But conditions, here in southern Oregon today, are not such that the alternative to accepting relief Ls starvation or hunger. Those who will, seem to be able to find something else to do and that, in Itself, is the most serious indictment of those remaining on relief rolls. Chiseling has grown to be a great American sport and, if we aren’t pretty careful, it will become an overburdening institution on a permanent foun dation. We should be charitable to all needing relief by being hard with those who abuse relief's benefits. ----------------- •----------------- June Bugs History Repeating Itself By J. C. REYNOLDS Go to the Books, you workers And read of the days of yore; Read of the age of serfdom And ponder it o’er and o’er. Read of the Lords and Ladies And read of their cringing slaves Living their lives in bondage And buried in nameless graves. Read of this race of bondsmen, Pitiful human wrecks; Known alone by the collars Fastened around their necks. Chattels of tyrant wasters— Ranked as villains and slaves— Living in dread and terror And sentenced to nameless graves. Read in the daily papers Of nineteen and thirty-five, How on labor's misfortunes Our opulent classes thrive. Read how the worker's wages Are cut by these ruling few— Debauching our nation's toilers And their wives and children too. Think of Capital’s challenge To labor, a year ago— How the rights of the unions In time they would overthrow; Think of their firm prediction That labor, in this, our land, Soon would be tamed and willing To eat from a Master’s hand. Read of these facts and ponder. The answer is surely plain; The hideous age of serfdom Is being revived again. Soon the wage of the worker, Instead of a hard-earned check, Will be but his food and garments— And a collar around his neck. 4—348 b NOTICE FOR PUBLICATION Department of the Interior U. S.
