The Karpis Gang?
P"VERTONE rejoices over the safe return ot the little Weyer
hacuser boy!
The manner in which he was returned, and the facts he has
given regarding his captors and their methods, pretty well dis
poses of the theory that this was an amateur job.
Everything points to the fact, that the kidnaping was planned
and executed by professional criminals, who had carefully per
fected their plans in advance, and carried them out, with skill
and cunning.
But that the notorious Karpis gang was responsible we seri
ously doubt. Certainly the last thing Al and his pals would do
would be to use their correct names before a young boy nine
years old, as is claimed, in the early press reports. It is far
more likely that those responsible, knowing the Karpis gang
was suspected used these names to lead the authorities off the
scent, and depended upon young George, after his release to thus
assist them in their escape, and send the police off on the wrontf
track. However as the young boy apparently was not blind
folded, and saw his captors, this matter can quickly be cleared
up.
Now to track down the culprits and bring them to speedy
and certain justice. The decks are cleared, full steam ahead is
the watchword. With the kidnapped child, at home safe and
sound, there is no obstacle before a nation wide man hunt, that
should and we believe soon will, lead to their capture. '
Interstate Crime and Commerce
"llfllAT a relief it is to know that Uncle Sam, -with ail the
resources of this great country at his command, is now
on the job. How slim the chance ever to bring these kidnappers
to justice, if the state of Washington had to track them down
alone, and then halt its .activities at the state line, for some
other state to take up the trail.
Yet if the recent decision of the Supreme Court regarding
federal control of IXTRA-state business, were applied literally
to the crime of kidnapping, the government operatives would
have to stand idly by, until the fact was established that the
crime trail had actually CROSSED state lines.
What an illogical and subversive interpretation of state
rights, in the matter of solving the critical problem of organized
crime. How entirely absurd to allow criminals to roam at will
with no regard for state lines and then compel the law enforcp
ment agencies to halt at some imaginary state boundary, be
cause of a strict construction of the Constitution.
llfK don't mean to imply that the Supremo Court decision,
" regarding NRA was wrong, or not ENTIRELY correct
from a constitutional standpoint. As previously stated, a
unanimous decision from such a source, can only be accepted as
conclusive and final. Such is the law and the law should be
upheld.
But there is no doubt in the writer's mind that the law will
eventually be changed.
QTATK rights had some validity when it took three weeks tn
travel from Ronton to Philadelphia, when there was one
type of civilization and development in New England, another
in the South, and a third on the Mid-West frontier.
But we fail to see where it has any, in the control and solu
tion of NATIONAL problems, in a country, which can be
spanned from coast to coast in 24 hours, which has one language,
a common culture, and is as closely knit together, in its aims,
ideals and its problems, as is the United States today.
State government is of course as necessary as city or countv
government when purely state matters are concerned. Rut
where NATIONAL problems are involved, such as the proper
control of business, of crime, finance, child labor or what have
you, certainly it is not only common sense, but essential to
national welfare, that there should be s unified central author
ity, and a central, concentrated

CAN'T A FELLOW
Recently this query appeared In
this column:
'Mother lives In upper flat, and
when people In

on the gas the
fumes make her
ill and affect her
head."
Also this one

gas meters. Near
ly every montn
I have to notify
the gas company
there is a leakage of gas. They usu
ally repair the leak, but In a few
days It leaka again and we get the
odor of gaa."
Answering these queries I suggest
ed that the landlord should be asked
to Install proper flue pipe connect-
ing gas stove with chimney. If It la
a kitchen range or open gaa plate,
a suitable hood and perhaps an
exhaust fan vent would abate the
nuisance and protect the comfort
and health of all concerned. The
leakage of gaa from or about the
gaa meters Is a constant menace to
any one living over or near the
meters. To remedy that nuisance i
suggested moving out of the apart
ment. Among the letters these Items
brought were four from public ser
vice companies. They all sought to
learn where the correspondents lived,
and all expressed the desire to cor
rect the trouble, and all were In cor
dial spirit, as tho well, a tho cor
porations really desire to serve the
public welfare.
But, dear me, by the time the
Items appeared In print and the re
sulting Inquiries reached me. I had
lost all recollection of the original
letters.
Another item In this column re
cently implied, nay, I said that Dr.
Noah Webster who made the dic
tionary waa "an old fossil," and !
threw In for good measure the ele
vating remnrk that the men who
make the Webster dictionary now are
"old geezers" too and they probably
had "poor bringing up." Then I
sailed in and ..found all kinds or

lieved to be the very latest edition
of the New International.

VALUE OF FORESTS
SHOWN- BY SURVEY
NOW IN PROGRESS
"Like the strands of a rope the
varied uses of forest areas cannot be
separated without loss tn strength
and economy necessary to community
welfare." according to a forest survey
of Oregon county dependence now
being made. These uses Include the
industrial use of timber, forest recre
ation, fish and game, watershed pro
tection and other forest values.
The survey shows that the com
modity value of timber which sup
ports an Important part of Jackson
county's population la closely related
to forest recreational benefits that
contribute largely to the enjoyment
and prosperity of the citizens of the
county,
The demand for forest recreation Is
characteristic of present times, nation
wide figures show. A tabulation from
the Rogue River, Umpqua and Siski
you national fore.sta. which are most
accessible to Jackson county, indi
cates that In ten years the number
of forest visitors Increased from 87.
731 tn IMS to 410.577 in 1933 For
the state as a whole the number of
visitors to the national forests in
creased from 645.587 to 1,734.840 dur
ing the same period.
That this recreational use of for
ests has an Important effect on busi
ness activity in local communities
Is a conclusion of the report. Great
Impetus recently has been given to
winter sports development on on
forest areas. It Is pointed out that
while the large volume of forest rec
reation comes In the summer, the
past season's skiing activities which
attracted thousands ot enthusiasts to
winter playgrounds. Illustrate the ex
tent to which the sale of gasoline,
automobile accessories and sporting
goods can be stlmulted by a single
form of forest recreation. Towns tn
the vicinity of forests profit from ,
recreation business, the report indi
cates. The report show that more than
15 per cent of Jackson county's pop
ulatlon of 33.918 took out hunting or
fishing licenses last year and that
this number wss 3 per cent greater
than In 1933. More than 840 non
resident anglers took out Jackson
county licenses In 1934.
In the state a total of 115.713 hunt
ing and fishing licenses were issued
in 1934. of which 48.467 were for
hunting, M.356 for fishing and 14.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.
Surgical Corset.
My doctor advises me always to
wear a surgical corset for dropped
stomach. It doesn't seem to help
much. M. 8.
Answer Many of ua have dropped
stomach and remain serenely un
aware of It unless someone calls
our attention to it. I have no notion
whether you should wear a support.
Perhaps If you can gain needed
weight, the larding of the natural
supporting tissues will correct any
mechanical disturbance from sags or
kinks. Send ten cent and stamped
envelope bearing your address, for
booklet "Building Vitality."
Bitter and Harmless.
Name of the bitter substance that
la harmlesa to use in correcting
babies and older children of putting
thlnga In their mouth. Mrs. M. H. F.
Answer Quassia. Steep an ounce
of quassia chips In perhaps two
quarts of water. Dip the clothing or
other things In this and let dry. The
bitter taste will stop the practice.
The same thing Is an old reliable
remedy against pin worms, the in
fusion being used as an enema, a
few ounces only after an ordinary

nual recreation crop that is available
If resources are properly developed.
"It is Impossible to divorce forest
recreational activity from the forest
fire protection program or the sus
tained timber yield program pri
marily Intended to preserve the tim
ber Industry." the survey states. "The
CCC has recently built some 2000
miles of forest roads in Oregon pri
marily designed for fire protection.
The 'recreational by-product of these
roads Is not the least of their bene
fits, however, for they have assured
greater protection for scenic areas
and have vastly broadened recrea
tional opportunities for the average
citizen." prom an economical stand
point, fire protection, reforestation,
grazing and recreation are all part of
the forestj development program
which should be designed to make
all forest areas contribute to the
maximum to the upbuilding of com
munities. Charting of substantial land areas
to be devoted to a single use Is not
practical or democratic, according
to the forest service. With few ex
ceptions these land areas combine
multiple uses and the development
of one use to the exclusion of all
others works an unnecessary hard
ship on Importsnt community ac
tivities. It Is said.
The forest service shows that east
ern states snd European countries
have been able to develop and main
tain the maximum capacity of fish
ing streams and game areas under
scientific management, reaping large
economic benefits as a result. The i
survey point to the importance of
sustained yield" program for ;
Oregon forest recreation, which, j
among other things, would provide ;
adequat stocking of fish and game, '
and regulations looking to the maxt- !
mum yield of fish and game areas 1

recreational values, in proportion to
thetr importance as against other
possible values, is held essential.

hopeful talk among the horde

who draw their salaries from it. of
reviving it in some form.

NRA was a vast and complicated
structure that was bound In
time to fall of Its own weight
It has fallen, and this writer, whose
opinion is probably of no Important

It la better so. Business ne.is to b.
dons as simply as possible, so that
prloes may be held down to what
people can afford to pay.
NRA tended to make business com
plicated and bunglesome. ar.d com
plication tends inevitably towage
higher cost. If you doubt that. loo
at out government-regulated utili

costs have been driven so high as t?
make their rates seriously burden

Liberals are always denouncing the
public utilities for conducting a
Washington lobby, but the truth
seems to be the utilities need all the
lobby they can get.
Proof of what was established by
the ultra-smart trick executed by
Senator Wheeler on the holding com
pany bill. It nearly ruined the util
ity opposition.
The original bill was not exactly
waterproof and went too far. Wheel
er's committee decided to make many
changes and did. Ordinarily these
changes would be offered on the
senate floor as committee amend
ments to the original bill. A vote
would be required on each one.
But the slick Mr. Wheeler decided
to avoid that. Alter the changes were
made, he re-Introduced the bill, in
cluding the committee amendments.
Unnoticed he rushed this changed
bill through the committee a second
time. When the measure was brought
up for discussion. It was discovered
that there were no committee amend
ments, that all had been Incorpor

To the Editor:
At this time of the year when the
many eighth grade graduates are
making plans for their first year in
high school, the question arises. Shall
I take Latin as part of my course?
When I was at the same age nearly
50 years ago Latin was compulsory.
And if I desired the degree of Bache
lor of Arts when I got through col
lege. I was required not only to take
Latin but also Greek. As to the value
of taking Latin, an interesting Item
may be found by looking at the three
prints placed side by side In The
Pathfinder of June 1.
In order to Illustrate the "high,
brow" talk of Undersecretary Tug well.
a part of one of his addresses was
placed alongside of Lincoln's Gettys
burg speech and the Declaration of
Independence in erder to show the
simpler style of those two famous
documents. But the three speeches
offer an excellent basis to make a
study of the relation of Latin to our
own language.
Mr. Lincoln used 266 words, and of
these 29 are Latin, or almost exactly
one In nine. Mr. Tugwell uses 78
Latin words out of a total of 347. a
little less than one-fourth of the
whole number. And Jefferson uses
66 Latin words out of a total of 172,
or about one-third.
It ts interesting to note how nearly
equal in length fire the Gettysburg
speech and the Declaration of Inde
pendence. Mr. Lincoln was noted for
the simplicity of his language, and
yet he used one Latin word for every
eight English words In his most fa
mous speech. Latin seems to have
some place in our language even if
It ts dead.
