TTORNEY GENERAL HOMER S. CUMMINGS has an. in-
teresting article in the current Liberty on "How can you
'prevent crime." Every word of
particularly enthusiastic about
sions, for they conincide exactly with our own.
The greatest single obstacle to checking the crime wave lies
in the refusal of the legal profession to clean its own house the
complacency with which the various bar associations pass reso
lutions, advocating judicial and court reform and then do
nothing about it. Even more reprehensible is the refusal of the
profcsHion to disbar the shyster lawyers, who resort to every
trickery and dishonest subterfuge, to free criminals, particu
larly the rich and powerful ones who line their pockets with
gold, who are in fact criminals themselves, merely using their
profession &b a smoke screen behind which they can operate,
without fear of prosecution.
Second the author places the need of laws which would pre
vent the sale of deadly weapons, without care or discrimination,
to all who wish to buy them; and third the necessity of an
aroused and militant public opinion, in favor of court reform,
and unyielding in its fight against organized crime.
Mr. Cummings a lawyer himself and the head of the legal
department of the government, admits that the courts and legal
procedure as at present constituted, instead of checking organ
ized crime encourage it. Certainly a startling admission from a
man in his position.
But he concludes:
The law need not remain the tool of the criminal a day
longer than the public desires. The purging of the bar to elimi
nate the unscrupulous lawyer cannot be done by the public
alone. The unscrupulous lawyer need not remain the tool of
the criminal a day longer than the legal profession desires. It
Is up to the lawyers themselves to drive out those scavengers
who disgrace their profession.
The American Bar association haa been making harole effort!
to stimulate Its grievance committees to take drastic action.
The disbarment of the shyster lawyer would be a heavy blow to
gangdom. The NRA Is trying to get Industry to discipline Itself.
The legal profession also needs self -discipline. Disbarment
that Is to say, cancellation of a lawyer's right to praotlco his
profession Is a simple and direct weapon of attack against the
racketeer. It should be used unsparingly. The legal profession
should be given a chance to reform and purge Itself. In this
work It can depend upon the support and assistance of the de
partment of justice.
In summation. I firmly believe that the department of Jus
tice, with the help of all law-abiding and well thinking citizens,
is In a position to smash the American racketeer In his organized
war against American society If our legislators can agree to
prevent the sale of deadly weapons to the criminals. If our
lawyers can agree to Interpret their professional duty as being
to safeguard the rights of the accused rather than to thwart
the punishment of the guilty, and If our newspapers and our
business men and citizens generally will stand up vigorously for
their right to be protected against criminals. The war against
predatory crime can be won In no other way.
It la a real war, a war that must be fought to a finish by
the weapons of democracy If life and property are to be secure
In our country. It is a war In which we must all take part.
It has been said that popular government la organized self
control. That Is the kind of government our forefathers set up.
If we are to pass It on to our children we cannot Ignore our
duty to enlist In the war against crime.
The Indifference of the American public and the laxity of
aome of our public officials are, when all Is said and done, con
tributing causes of racketeering and organized crime.
Police forces are only peace-time soldiers of the nation. They
must obey the orders of their auperlora the public and its of
ficials and be loyal to their duty, in return, the police are
entitled to the active support of all honest citizens. If the
American people are determined to do their part In smashing
the racketeer, they should select officials who will unfailingly do
theirs. With loyalty and the will to win operating all along the
line, the victory over organized crime cannot be long delayed.
Certainly1 with the government thus committed to court re
form and an aggreNsive and uncompromising war upon organ
ized crime, it would seem, that during the present administra
tion, something definite and far reaching to make this country
isnfe for the law abiding citizen, can, at last, be donel
Shameful!
WILL wonders never cease ! The Portland Journal justifying
its opposition to the new sales tax, accuses the proponents
of such a tax as being enemies of the public schools.
Says the Journal:
"And so the Oregon schools are left to starve for thla year.
It la a situation to be widely regretted. The schools are the
bulwark of self government. The classrooms and the teachers
In charge are the fortresses of liberty. They are the safeguard of
the nation. How unfortunate that In Oregon the schools are to
be sacrificed for a year In order to soak the public with a salea
taxi"
Now in all seriousness can anyone beat thatt This new sales
tax was passed SOLELY TO SAVE THE SCHOOLS, all the
i revenue from it will GO to the schools. It was advocated by
' parent-teachers associations, by county school administrations,
by school boards. One of its strongest supporters was our own
I superintendent of schools, E. H. Hedrick, who is not only one
Jof the most competent educators in the state, but certainly has
the cause of the public school system more closely at heart, than
any other resident of Southern Orogon.
And YET the Journal would accuse HIM, and thousands of
citizens like hira with being an enemy of the public schools, a
traitor in the ranks of education seeking to tear down what the
Journal Bays is the very "bulwark of self government."
IJOW unfortunate INDEED 1 This measure was passed by
the legislature, if allowed to become law, its revenues will
be turned over to the schools in !)0 duys, that is by March. The
completion of the school year will then be certain not only here
but everywhere else in the state.
But the Journal and its supporters, have instituted a referen
dum against the measure, they insist upon holding it up for a
popular vote, preventing the schools from receiving this sorely
, needed aid, until May or June and if they can play their po
litical cards successfully, not even TIfLN.
And now this Journal, this newspaper doing everything it
CAN to defeat school aid has the inexpressible GALL to claim
it is the friend and protector of the public school system, and
those who are trying, in the only
to prevent disaster to the schools, are its enemies I

DRIVING WHILE UNDER THE I
So far we have had no response to
the cb!I we broadcasted here for a
simple yet fairly accurate test of in
toxication, if any
chemist knows of
an agent which
would Indicate

alcohol In the air

the chemist pre-
.V'sdaF1 knowled8e secret.
I Vw""' As there la no
and no medical
definition of In
toxication, I pro
pose this as a fair teat: if alcohol Is
being excreted thru the lungs, that
Is in the expired air, It proves the
Individual has taken more alcohol
than he can oxidize or utilize, and
surely that constitutes Intoxication
by any reasonable standard.
Whether Intoxication Is Increasing
I am not prepared to say. But the
frequency of police calls to apprehend
drunken drlvera or to pick up drunks
la striking when one listens In on the
police radio broadcast.
In London, where plain drunken
ness Is not so very remarkable, they
are now arresting persons who drive
an automobile while under the in
fluence of Insulin.
For instance, a man with a good
record aa a driver drove his car at
extraordinarily alow ' speed between
two lines of traffic and collided with
three other vehicles on the off side.
(That, you know. Is the driver's right
side the English are funny that
way.) Drlvera of the other cara were
bally Indignant and one or two of
them so far forgot the traditions as
to shout at the bl the bally awss.
The fellow might have gotten away
wlth.lt, at that, If he had had the
forethought to equip his car with one
of those complimentary Police or Fire
emblems which are so much affected
by the upper classes In this country.
But he Just kept blithely bouncing
along until he encountered a station
ary van, and thence he skidded to a
standstill on the pavement. When the
bobbles reached the man he was In
a dazed condition, alllio the injured
drivers had not laid a hand on him.
They're funny that way In England.
The fellow seemed only partly con
scious of what was said t him. Yet
he waa certainly not drunk. He had
diabetes and the police surgeon cer
tified that he was under the Influ
ence of Insulin and unfit to drive a
car. A medical expert, an authority
on diabetes, was called and this phy
sician testified that the patient here
again they re funny across the water.

, QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Color ot Eyes
Is It possible for brown-eyed par
ents to have a blue-eyed child? A
couple I know have three children.
One child has pale blue eyes, the
other two have brown eyes, and the
parents both have brown eyes. (H. P,
I P.) -
! Answer AH eyes are "blue" at
I birth that la, they have only a mini
mum amuuot ot pigment in mo
Irises, the colored rings around the
black central pupil. The pigment of
the Iris Is brown to all Instances. If
there la little pigment, people say the
eyes are blue. If more pigment, the
eyes are called "grey." If still more,
"brown." The most Intensely pig
mented Irises are caUed "black." Aa
a general rule the eye color of chil
dren Is not lighter than the eyes of
the parents, but there are plenty of
exceptions to the rule.

suggest the possibility of a cervical or
supernumerary rib developing above

To the Editor:
I have read your article In Tues
day's paper assailing the state Orange
master. Mr. Gill,
He has seen to the heart of the
aalee tax bills and therefore can never
favor them, at least In any form ao
far presented. The bills are rotten
to the core, but when clothed In pos
sible pleasant results, many people
overlook the faults of such measures
and look only at the accomplished
end. Mr. GUI, however, looka a lit
tle deeper Into these bills than the
average person, and sees their true
nature which most people do not
understand. Certainly we must ad
mire one who has the courage and
conviction to stand against something
that HK KNOWS Is wrong, despite
such strong criticism as Mr. 0111 haa

Comment

Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
THE special session of the legisla
ture, In- lta 30 working ' days,
passed laws affecting four major prob
lems, as follows:
1. Liquor control.
9, Sales tax.
8. Bus control.
4. Unemployment relief.
FOUR important problems, all
clamoring for solution fully war
ranting a apeclal session of the legis
lature; whose members made honest
efforts to solve them.
How effective these efforts will be,
only time can tell.
THE liquor control device finally
chosen was state ownership and
management of the hard liquor busi
ness, the Idea being to remove pri
vate) profit from the liquor traffic o
far as this state la concerned.
In this way. It la hoped, the evils
that formerly existed will J be les
sened. A WORTHY hope "whether or not
It will be realized, only time and
experience can tell.
This writer hopes It will, but hasn't
much confidence.
The way to find out, however, la to
try. . '
THE sales tax" re -enacted by the
legislature In a somewhat different
form, haa been once heavily beaten by
'he people.
Hence, a lot of people tell us, It
shouldn't be tried again.
THIS writer can't agree to that.
State taxation of incomes, which
most reasonable people now concede
to be fair and Just, was tried some
EIGHT TIMES before the principle
was finally adopted.
So why shouldn't we go on voting
on the salea tax?
BUS control, fundamentally, la an
effort on the part of the rail
roads to put their competitors, the
buses and trucks, out of business, or
at least hamper them to the point
where they will no longer be dan
gerous as competitors.
The bus and truck bill passed at
the regular session of the legislsture
last winter came close to doing that,
and bitter complaint arose.
The new bill, passed by the special
session, la a compromise effort to
soften the harshness of the old one.
Whether it will work also remains
to be seen.
IP YOU are interested in thla writer's j
views on bus and truck control,
here they are:
- Buses and trucks should be taxed.
They should be reasonably regulated.
They should be made to live up to
their responsibilities, as a new form
of transportation.
But they SHOULDN'T be legislsted
out of business. We dont want to
turn CONTROL OF TRANSPORTA
TION back to the railroads.
We suffered too much when they
had complete control of It.
THERE la no argument as to un- I
employment relief. It has to be
provided. The only argument Is about
finding the money. j
Liquor control and the sales tax,
two of the four principal measures
enacted by the legislature, have as
their primary purpose FINDING THE
MONEY with which to provide un
employment relief.
That la why the special session waa
called.
