WHY MEN MURDER.
I. B. Sneed of Texas shot
Captain Boyce, whose son eloped
with Mrs. Sneed. A Texas jury
refused to convict, and, Saturday
Sneed shot, the son. The Sneed
and Boyce clans are gathering,
ana iurther assassinations are
expected.
We convict less than one and
ond half per cent of those who
commit murder. Germany con
victs 95 per cent. All the nations
of Europe convict from 50 per
cent upwards.
With our convictions of less
than one and one half per cent,
the criminal knows in advance
that he has 98 chances out of
100 not to be convicted. He
knows that for every one and one
half chances of capture and con
viction, he has y i chances to
escape.
Sneed was acquitted for one
killing, and he has taken the
chances on another. Every as
sassin who commits premeditated
murder remembers that 9Sh out
of 100 are never sentenced, and
when he cleans up his weapon
and eoes out to slav he nsturallv l
reasons that he will be one of the ' labor; and
Add to this the prevalent habit
of revolver carryng, snd it is easy
to see why we are the greatest
man-killing nation in the world.
In Chicago alone, one berson is
murdered every 24 hours. In the
country, somebody is murdered
every hour of the day and night,
365 days in the year.
In view of the recklessness
with which we tolerate the re
volver habit, and in view of our
incompetency in capturing and
convicting murderers, it is al
most miraculous that we do not
achieve even greater distinction
as a race of man killers.
This is from the Baker Demo
crat, and is certainly good logic.
But why not add that in Oregon
the present attitude of our gov
ernor with regard to capital
punishment is another factor
lessening respect for the law ag
ainst murder in this state. There
is much sentimental talk about
capital punishment, yet it is one
of the most powerful deterrents
against murder known.
The proposed amendment to
our .criminal law doing away
with hanging for murder should
be voted down by an overwhelm
ing majority.
But the important matter is
that the urban populations are
coming to think that the remedy
for the high cost of American
farm-products consists in placing
all imported foods on the free list
and that they will more and more
insist on entire removal of duties
from all imports of food pro
ducts. Spokesman Review.
LYING HEADING: MIS
CHIEVOUS BILL.
( Portland Spectator)
An apparently harmless meas
ure will appear on the official bal
lot under the following mislead
mg heading: -A bill for a law
to amend section 20 of chapter
266 of the laws of Oregon for
1911, placing the state -printer on
a flat salary. "
inatDiuis a vicious bill, and
that heading is a lying heading.
lhe purpose of the bill is to tak
the state printing office out of
the control of state, people and
public printer, and put in the
hands of the unions, to be used
by them in forcing closed shop
conditions on the state of Oregon
The mendacious heading of this
mischievous bill says nothing of
the bill s purposes. It was m
tended to deceive the voters; it is
a dishonest heading. It does not
inform the voters that the bill
creates new offices, with fat sal
aries attached; that the bill ere
aces a printing Doard ot non-
printers, and leaves the state
printer off the board; that it ere
ates the office of secretary of the
board, with a big salary, and
gives him full control of the state
printing office, with power to
make all purchases, to order work
done by outside printers, to pre
scribe style, manner and mater
lals used by the state printer, to
hx prices for and sell work done
in the state printing office all
without bonds; savs the state
shall contract with the unions for
appropriates $20,000
for carrying out the provisions of
the act.
These are a few of the things
provided for in the measure with
the innocent heading, "A bill for
a law to amend section 20 of chap
ter 266 of the laws of Oregon for
1911, placing the state printer on
a flat salary."
It is- a lying heading and per
nicious bill. It should be defeat
ed; the way to beat it is to vote
329 no.

CONCERNS THE FARMER
The cost of living threatens to
touch the American farmer thro
the tariff. The connection corner
througe other consumers in this
country mistakenly holding the
farmer accountable for the high
price of farm products and thro
their belief that redur-tion of the
duties on foods would lessen the
expense of existence.
In 1910, the critics argue, the
value of all those crops whose
quantities and values bothinliJOU
and 1910 are ascertained, was $4,-
634,490,000 on the farm. If they
had been sold to consumers in
1910 at the prices for which they
sold in 1900, their value at the
farm would have beeh only $2,
962,358,000. It is inferred that
the fanner in a single decade
gained nearly$2,000,000.000more
for his products than beiore and
that the advance in price was un
earned increment.
The conclusions are supposed
to be sustained by the facts that
the total supply of American farm
products is but little greater now
than ten years ago, that the yield
from an acre is no greater, and
that there has, except with horses
and goats, been a large lessening
in the number of livestock.
The assailants of the farmer aa
a cause of the increased cost of
living overlook the fact that the
cost of labor and supplies has so
increased for the farmer, that the
increase nearly equals that in the
farm price of products. It is also
to be remembered that there are
about 16,000,000 more Americans
making demands on the farms i
for food than in 1900. I
