Comment

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
L.
A. BANKS, or Medford, charged
with the murder of Constable
George Prcacott, will plead not guilty.
It la expected that he will base hla
defense on the contention that he
was protecting hla home.
1UCH
plea,
of course, la an ab-
surdity.
Constable Frcscott was duly armed
with a legal warrant when ,he ap
proached Bank' home. Officers duly
armed with legal warrants have the
RIGHT to enter homca. They MUST
enter homca If the law la to be en
forced. The theory that a. man's house la
his castle does not apply to officers
of the law properly armed with legal
warrants.
CJUPPOSE, for example,
aome evil
" peraon entered your home, rob
bed It, murdered your wife and chil
dren, then went on down town, rob
bed the bank and murdered the cash
ier. If we aanctloned the plea that a
man's house Is bis castle, and as such
must not be entered without per
mission even by officers of the law,
all this evil person would have to do
to avoid punishment for his horrible
erlme would be to retire within Als
home, close, bhe doors and be safe.
Obviously, we can't permit any
such theory as that to prevail.
HERE Is an Interesting paragraph
from the day's news. It occurs
in a market dispatch from Chicago:
"A booming rise at the very outset
of trading carried most grain prices
today to the highest levels for nearly
a year."
The reason. It Is so Interesting Is
that sustained Increases In grain
prices will be the sure sign that .the
depresslon-to over-md- thabuemesa
revival Is under way,
THE market reporter who sent oujj
tfils dispatch undertook to ex
plain It.
The spectacular rlso In grain prices,
he says, was due to two causes
talk of Inflation and reports of un
favorable weather In the grain belt.
Talk of inflation, you see, causes
people to believe that money will be
worth' less, so they hasten to ex
change It for commodities before
the cheapening process begins. Re
ports of unfavorable weather In the
grain belt leads people to believe
that grain will be scarcer.
And If grain is going to be scarcer
It will be worth more. Hcnco peo
ple hasten, to buy.
nntne .tnrlc market, we read, fol'
A lowed the tendency of the grain
market, and ROSE, but some of the
gains scored In tfie morning's trad
ing were lost in the afternoon. Farm
Implement, metal, food, rubber and
steel stocks, however, remained fair
ly strong throughout the day.
Metals, foods and rubber are raw
materials. Rises in prices of stocks
having to do with raw materials are
niM(iilArW encouraging. Raw ma
terials have been selling far too low.
Any increase In their price will
better the business situation mater
ially. Increases In prices of stocks
based on raw materials Is an Indi
cation of popular belief that raw
material prices will continue to rise.
THERE Is a general and hopeful
belle( that the bottom of the
depression has been reached and that
by fall we shall see distinct begin
nings of actual Improvement.
If there la to be Improvement In
business, prices o( most basic com
modities will have to rise, becsuse
the producers of these basic com
modltiea represent a large share o(
the country's buying power. As long
as prlcea of what they have to sell
remain below cott of production, they
will HAVE NO BUYING POWER.
It Is only as they are able to realize
a profit on what they produce that
they will be able to buy what others
have for sale, thus stimulating trade
and creating employment for labor.
Because of this fact. Uie course
o( commodity prices In the next few
months Is going to be tremendously
Interesting. If commodity prices
continue to rise, we shall be war
ranted In believing that Improve
ment In btislncss ha set In.

The legal question now arises that
