sion must have gained wide acceptance that it’s little
risk to break and enter.
Too many youngsters and older men who should
know better have been getting into trouble. There
is but one reasonable conclusion to draw, and that
is that mild remonstrances being given the wayward
are not accomplishing the desired end of discourag
ing pilfering. Obviously crime waxes fat on mercy.
More than a year ago winking at lawbreaking
became the fashion in this section and now nothing
is safe that isn’t nailed down and picketed 24 hours
a day. Perhaps the time has arrived when we should
start bleeding for victims instead of the dishonest.
Leastwise, it wouldn’t hurt to try a little vigorous
punishment once—results couldn’t be worse.
Of course, special circumstances seem to sur
round every case and each guilty person has his
friends who intervene and plead in his behalf. But
if we’re ever going to protect the public we’ve got
to start cracking down on lawbreakers regardless of
who they or their families and friends may be.
Either we have laws or we don’t. The police do
their part by apprehending guilty parties, but get
little help or cooperation from there on. We’ve got
to quit sobbing on shoulders of sticky-fingered nuis
ances or continue to pay high bounty in loss of val
uables, money and community reputation.
As long as everything can’t be under lock and
key, the most practical thing to do is to place under
lock and key those who help themselves to other peo
ple’s property.

SURVEY WAYS
TO OPEN ROAD
THAT something should be done
1 to open up the Mount Ashland
ski area to enthusiasts of southern
Oregon and northern California
was the opinion expressed by
members of the Ashland post of
the American Legion Tuesday
night, according to Commander P.
P. Whitmore. The organization
plans to investigate probable ex
pense of opening up the area to
automobile traffic during winter
months and will consider ways and
means of accomplishing that end.
Although no definite plans have
as yet crystallized, it was brought
out at the meeting that Ashland
is missing an opportunity to be
come a minor winter sports mecca
by permitting this area’s best and
closest ski slopes to remain ne
glected because a half dozen miles
of good mountain road are not
cleared of snow. With a forest
sei vice shelter constructed at a
prepared slope, and with thous
ands of acres of mountain top un
usually well suited to the snow
sport six months of the year, Leg
ionnaires are interested in devis
ing some plan whereby the area
may be made accessible. The Leg
ion commander has invited all per
sons interested in having the area
opened to be present at the or
ganization's next meeting night,
Tuesday, Jan. 24, in Pioneer hall.
It was believed that city or
county equipment might be loaned
for the work, with expense limited
to cost of fuel and salary of an
operator. Snowfall on much of the
road normally averages from but
two to four feet and, with two or
three clearings, should be travers-
ible with chains during the entire
winter season.
Hilt, Medford and Ashlana ski
enthusiasts have declared that
Mount Ashland slopes are superior
even to those found at Crater
Lake, only drawback having been
that it is necessary to hike in for
several miles. Snowfields on the
summit, at an elevation of about
7500 feet, are suitable for skiing
from mid-fall to late spring.
