Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
THROUGHOUT this entire country,
more than 150 people lose their
Uvea in holiday accident over the
Christmas week-end traffic acci
dents, principally.
On holidays, people get out on the
roads and go placea, and when the
roads are crowded with people going
placea accldenta are bound to occur.
THE Ices of 150 lives over one week
end sounds like a lot. But re
member that this la a big country,
with a total population of some 120
millions.
Big as the total Bounds, when we
aee It In a headline, these holiday
fatalities amounted to only one out
of about each 800,000 of total popu
lation. The chancea against us, you see,
really aren't very great,-even on holi
days. TRAFFIC! accidents, as you know
If you have read the papers care
fully, don't make up the total of
the newa of the Chrlstmaa week-end.
There la drunkenness plenty of It.
In sadly many cases, drunkenness led
to murder.
Of lesser crimes, there were certain
ly enough. The papere have been
more or lesa full of them ever since.
THE point Is this:
It Is In our leisure time, such
as holidays, especially two-day holt
days extending over week-ends, that
we do most of our hell-ralslng. We
seem to let loose on such occasions,
and when we let loose the worst In us
comes out.
Nearly everybody Is telling us that
In the future, thanka to machines,
we are going to have more and more
leisure time; some of the more ad
vanced thinkers along this line as
.'sertlng that we shall work not more
than 15 to 20 hours per week.
That will be fine, of course; but
when we get so much leisure time on
our hands we are going to have to
learn to use It for aomethlng better
than hell-ralslng.
TP It Washington, there la talk
that this winter's legislature will
repeal the law that forbids prize
fighting. There Is prize-fighting, anyway, law
or no law. It Is pointed out, so why
not repeal the law and get back to
first principles?
will probably get no farther this
year than talk of repealing the law
that lorblda betting on horse races.
People BE7T on horses, you know,
when they feel that way, law or no
law. So people up In Washington,
, the story goes, are beginning to aay
' tftat If such Is the case, why keep
a law FORBIDDING betting on horses
on the books.
BESIDES, It Is easerted, the state
can get a lot of revenue out of
taxing prlze-flghta and betting on
horse races and a lot of other thlnga
, that people JUST WILL DO but which
are now forbidden by law. and the
atata NEEDS THE MONEY.
THIS writer, speaking merely aa one
Individual, Is quite convinced
that you can't make people moral by
passing a law.
It has been tried often enough In
the world's history, but It doesn't
seem to work. When the law says
aternly, aa to such offenses, "Tou
MCSTNT;" human nature appears to
respond perversely: "Yes, but I
WILL."
Human nature was that way, even
among the Puritans. It was that way
long before the Puritans. It is that
way yet. The chancea are it always
will be that way.
-
SO THE state of Washington, and
other states, might aa well wipe
from their statute books their :
called "blue laws." These laws nevek
hsve accomplished what they were
Intended to, and they never will.
But when It cornea to TAXING the
thlnga that are forbidden by these
blue laws, such as betting on horse
races, thus making the state a PART
NER In them, as is being proposed up
In Washington, that Is another story.

Witnesses Give Story
There are a number of confusing
angles to the case, but the story gath

eye-witnesses, is as follows:
Long and his sister, Mrs. Pearl
Mackrodt of Portland, were spending
Christmas with their mother, Mrs.
George Shelton of Ashland, who lives
few doors from the Jordan home
on the Boulevard In Ashland. Jor
dan knew Long "only by alght," he

county court.
The apportionment for this county
for elementary schools Is fixed at

allowance for S 0.000, so only $030
will have to be raised.
In the event that a sales tax is
adopted for Oregon, the $87,000
would be refunded, but until that
time It Is necessary tc raise by dl-
ect levy.
The county court is today seeking
legal opinions, whether or not It will

$030 elementary school tax added. It
Is expected that It will have to be

Under the law," the county court Is
allowed to Increase the budget 10

INDUSTRY WHEELS
MOSCOW, Dee. 28 ( AP) The
slogan "slow down" Is an evident
objective of Russia when It sets forth
next week upon Its second five-year
plan.
A general slowing up of feverish
Industrial activities was Indicated to
day by the announcement that capi
tal Investments for the Russian soc
ialist federated Soviet republlo, part
of the Soviet union In 1033 will be
18.000,000,000 rubles (about $9,000,
000,000) as compared with 2 1 ,000.
000.000 rubles (about $10,500,000,000)
for 1031.
This republic, extending from the
Baltic lo the North Pacific, contains
70 per cent of the population and
02 per cent of the area of the seven
Soviet republics.
The food scarcity In Soviet Russia
has been a serious problem In the
past year and the second five year
plan Is expected to bring vigorous
activity looking toward the tripling
or doubling of the standard of liv
ing. The migration of working
groups in search of food disturbed In
dustrial programs under Vie first five
year plan.
To inaugurate better living condi
tions, the Russian republic's Invest
ment In light industry will be doub
led In 1033 as compared with the
past year. Much energy Is to be
concentrated on. development of local
Industries, heretofo.e subordinated to
heavy Industry, It was announced.
The definite program for the first
year of the second five year plan
will be decided for the entire Soviet
union after the red parliament is
called Into session January 20. Its
annual meeting recently was post
poned ten days.
The question of what Russia ,has
achieved under the first five year
plan Is so complicated that a fair (
termlnatlon Is practically Impossible.
The viewpoint in Moscow Is that the
first five year plan created the In
dustrial background snd that the
time has come for perfection of this
baslj.
There are no plana for new large
scale production In the next five
years, as, for instance, the great water
works of Dnle-Prostroy the power
plant on the Dnieper rtver whlc'i
Russians claim will be the largest
In the world when all units are com
pleted. Some Increases In heavy Industrial
production are planned for 1033 un- ;
der the program announced for the !
Russian republic. The production of
pig Iron Is to be Increased 4fi per
cent, of rolled steel, 46 per cent, of
tractors. 34 per cent and of automo
biles, AO per cent.
The development of heavy Industry
in order to Increase production and
reduce costs was expected to continue
while emphasis Is placed on produc
tion of consumers' goods.
While remarkable achievements
have been claimed In various pro
grams under the concluding five year
plan. It has been estimated that food
production fell off to such an extent
that 16.000,000 are receiving meals
by what Is known as the "mass feed
ing" system. This Is about one-tenth
of the entire population and five
times as many as received food In
the same manner last yar.
The meeting, of the red parliament
January 10 will provide the first def
inite figures on the second five year
plan and therefore is the object of
much Interest.
The present pace of Industrial ac
tivity admittedly has been a great
strain on tie population by bringing
about low living standards. The
forthcoming session also will con
sider the matter of "strengthening
the collective farms," Indicating the
government does not Intend to alter
Its agricultural policies.
