Editorial Comment Banks Must Pay Governor Meier has refused to take action on the pardon application ot Llewellyn Banks, ex-Medford pub Usner, who was convicted of murder Ing a constable who sought to servt papers on him at the height of tht "civil war" then raging In the Rogut River vafley. A storm of protest fron. all parts of the state arose when It appeared that the pardon might be granted. The Chronicle Is heartily In accord with Governor Meier's decision Banks, when at Medford, was the leader In fomenting discord that cul m mated In the theft of ballot boxes, following an election that gave every Indication of being "fixed." He de liberately shot George Prescott, the constable, without warning. Many men have been hanged for less. Llewellyn Bnk allowed his pi slon to supplant his Judgment of values, and took the life of a fellow man who was merely striving to do his duty. Hanging would not have been unjust punishment, and of certainty freedom after a few short years In prison could In no way be considered payment In full of Banks' debt to society.
