It Can't
I TNDER the title "'What the taste of raw meat does," the
Grants Pass Courier bitterly belabors Roseburg and Doug
las county for trying to secure the Tiller-Trail cut-off highway.
Such action is characterized as base ingratitude, and evi
dence of carnivorous tastes. The Courier warns Roseburg not
to become cannibalistic!
We doubt if the warning will do much good. The Tiller
Trail cut-off would reduce the distance from Medford to Rose
burg by about 10 miles, would have but one mountain grade
instead of two, and would also give Roseburg a direct route
to Crater Lake, and the Dalles-California highway, 59 miles
shorter than the present one. .
It is not likely that Roseburg will drop this proposal, merely
because Grants Pass was a loyal friend, several years ago, and
worked hard to give its northern neighbor the National Soldiers
Home.
e e .. e e
WE DONT blame Grant Pass for its opposition. The
Tiller-Trail cut-off would reduce tourist travel to Grants
Pass, and every community wants all the tourist travel it
can get.
But expressing that opposition in the romantic form of
"noblesse oblige" we regard as rather futile.
The plain truth is, when the chord of self interest is struck,
communities are both carnivorous and cannibalistic. Unlike
some individuals, in their personal relations, they quickly adopt
the doctrine of "dog eat dog."
a candidate for the Soldiers Home site and couldn't have
been, its espousal of Roseburg cost it nothing. For Roseburg
to drop the Tiller-Trail highway, would cost it a great deal.
THE Courier further contends thnjt Roseburg doesn't wish
Mftrlfnrrl In ltnnw thnt. if ia wnrlfino fnr Thin nnt-nff fnr
this city would not want to "cut herself out" of the Crater
Lake and Eastern Oregon tourist travel.
The Mail Tribune can't speak officially for Medford, but as
far as this paper is concerned, we
wants, but favor Roseburg getting it.
The new highway will shorten the distance from this city to
Roseburg and Portland,, cut out grades, and facilitate trans
portation from the north to and from Crater Lake.
What Medford may lose in
opinion be more than compensated for, by the INCREASED
TRAVEL to that great scenic wonder.
In other words, whatever
makes the lake more accessible
they come from, this paper regards as all to the good. Medford
will get its share of the increase
Medford should crpect or want.
IT IS folly to try to turn the hands of the clock of progress
back. Of course if Medford eould have the only highway
to Crater Lake, that would be very nice for Medford. But it
can't be done. And likewise Grants Pass' effort to prevent the
Tillor-Trail cut-off "can't be done", simply because progress,
and the betterment of transportation, demands it.
Grants Pass has its Redwood
road is constructed will still have the old Pacific Highway.
In fact nothing can'prevent Grants Pass from being the hub,
and enjoying the cream, of tourist travel in Southern Oregon,
for nature has given it that position.

Editors in Comment on
Verdict in Banks Case
Banks Gets '1,1 fe."
The Lane county Jury ought to be
commended for Its faithful discharge
of duty. It aat through three weeks
of pulling and htfullng In the hearing
of testimony and the making of pleas
by the attorneys, and kept clear
heads, so that after adequate delib
eration It was able to agree on a very
sensible verdict. Mrs. Banks was ac
quitted. That seems satisfactory, ac
cording to the evidence, for at the
worst she was but a tool of her hus
band's. Banks himself Is convicted
of second degree murder, which car
ries life imprisonment. That pen
alty, while severe, seems adequate.
There were those who clamored for
his life "an eye for an eye." While
the shooting may have .been pre
meditated, the crime was In large
measure a "political" crime and not
Just personal homicide, hence the ex
treme penalty was not Justified.
The defense built up Its case on
the theory of persecution. The facts
were the reverse. Banks was. if any
thing, the persecutor. He was the
assailant. It did not matter if he
took men wholly innocent, like Judge
Norton; he pilloried them in his news
paper, abused them without mercy.
Anyone who crossed hts path was
made a victim of vituperation and
contumely. Banks terrorised the
county, and was the instigator rather
than the victim of persecution.
Why did he do It? Perhaps 'K was
to satisfy his ego. He wanted to dom
inate the scene. He wanted to run
affairs. He liked to have people take
orders from htm. Also, he was in
financial distress; and the more he
could throw up a amoke screen and
frlffhten the courts, the leas likely
was he to have Judgments entered
against him for his debts. He was
notorious for his non-payment of
obligations. He operated like a spec
ulator, and when the odds went
against him he was a poor sport In
kicking through. ,
Banks fumed around about restor

Justice Easily Recognized In Banks
Verdict.
There was wisdom and Justice in
the results of the trial of Mr. and
Mrs. L. A. Banks for the murder of
the Medford constable. There would
have been a deplorable discussion of
legal merits had the Eugene Jury
brought verdicts contrary to the ones
It did.
Mrs. Banks, It is safe to say. hardly
could have been convicted and sent
to prison for what would have been
only a supposition. She participated
In the act without real malice or in
tent. She was a wife, but the battle
was her husband's battle.
Banks, strange a man as he la.
hunt the killer's heart, and It would
be far fetched If It were said he
actually did recognl the ultimate
outcome of the Medford distress In
murder. True, he acted with some
premeditation of resistance but not
of murder. Every possible ounce of
justice apparently has been Included
in the Eugene verdict.
Medford has been poisoned by a
perverted newspaper and perverted
politics. The Banks case, all but the
customary routine of appeal, has pass

It as a closed event, and that task

The Banks Verdict.
After 33 hours' deliberation, the
Jury in the Banks case at Eugene
found the former Medford publisher
and agitator guilty of second degree
murder, w'.ilch oalls for a life prison
sentence and acquitted his wife, about
as fair a verdict as could be devised
and fully Justifying the long hours
devoted to' the task.
The distinction between first and
second degree murder la this stste
Is that one calls for hanging, the
other for life Imprisonment. No
body seriously expected Mr. Banks
would be doomed to the gallows. WUh
rare exceptions this Isn't done any
more in Oregon.
However, the distinction between
Insanity and second degree murder
la noa particularly Important except
to Mi. Banks, who will go to prison
and not to the saylum. Probably he
would rather have it that way. Be

important thing la that he be confin

newspaper, and taking advantage of
a distressing economic situation, used
his mad genius to sll but start a

MRS. W. M. BARBER,
Ashland, Oregon, May 33.
Who Was the Martyr?
To the Editor;
Who was the martyr in this recent
crisis which Jackson county has un
fortunately witnessed? Waa it Llew
ellyn A. Banks or George J. Prea
cott? Mr. Banks has been painted by his
attorneys as a persecuted, hounded
man, one who In trying to do. what
was right, suffered untold agonies
such as those of the Messiah. In Mr.
Banks' opinion, it was the right thing
for him to do when he created so
many hard working men out of their
rightly earned wages,, when he at
tacked the Chamber of Commerce or
this city, the Bar association, busi
ness concerns, and Individual citizens.
The fruit packers cf Medford have
also received their share of criticism,
while at the time the remarks were
being made, Mr. Banks waa operating
a plant which sent out fruit with the
quality and pack far below standard.
This haa done a great deal of damage
to the marketing of Rogue River val
ley's leading commodities, apples and
pears.
Uninformed people began to think
that Mr. Banks was right when they
heard only one side of the question;
It was at this time that citizens be
gan to resent Che false remarks of
this man and set out to protect their
own Interests. Then Mr. Banks began
to cry "persecution," and "a break
down of law and order," Finally, as
a climax, he felt Justified in shoot
ing down in cold blood an officer of
the law who was fulfilling his duty.
Do you, the citizens of Jackson
county, think that the life of this
man can in any way be compared with
that of the Messiah?
George J. Preacott, who was loved
and respected, has given his life in
sacrifice. He has gone from us; has
not been here to protect his good
name and character against the evil
and false sayings. It Is up to us to
hold high, the standards of Mr. Pres
cott, our martyred officer. We do
not sympathize with Mr. Banks. Why
should we? All of our sympathy
should be for the wife and family of
Mr. Preacott, who have been left to
mourn the loss of a loved one; his
life being snatched away at the hands
of a man, who through failure caused
by himself, became a selfish, cruel.
vicious law violator.
The people of Jackson county know
and resent the Injustice that has
been placed upon them by defense
attorneys when they said that Jack
son county was to blame for this cold
blooded crime. Didn't Mr. Banks at
tack every good cause in Jackson
county? Didn't he stir up all man
ner of trouble In this peaceful com
munity? It seems that the people of
this county are an exceptionally good
class In that they put up with, such
goings-on as long as they did, think
ing that the turmoil would calm
down and no further trouble would
arise." However, we may rejoice In the
victory that the state has won, and
through this victory has proven that
the laws of our land atill hold, and
are being backed by loyal citizens. We
should praise the success of Attorney
Moody in his clean fight for Justice.
ana congratulate the Jury upon the
decision rendered by them.
