"Half-Truths"
Somewhere not long
to the effect that those who would abolish capital
punishment "hide behind half-truths, religion,
and the fact that the wealthy may escape and the
poor may suffer the extreme penalty."
First of all, let it be said that we would prob
ably vote to continue capital punishment IF it
were shown to be a deterrent to murder.
But it does not. To the contrary:
". . . Capital punishment is not in fact a deterrent,
but apparently be example incites others to
homicide." Warden Lewis E.. Lawes, late of Sing
Sing.
"A world-wide survey shows that nowhere has
has the abolition of the death penalty led to an in
crease in the number of homicides . . . Capital pun
ishment is not a deterrent to murderers who com
mit suicide, who are insane and mentally deranged,
who kill in a quarrel, in drunkenness, in passion,
to those who wish to be hanged, to the one who
believes in his own perfect method. This amounts
to 80 to 90 per cent of all murderers. It leaves only
the professional criminal class and all agree that
'murder is not a crime of the criminal classes'."
British Royal Commission on Capital Punishment.
From 1914 to 1920, when Oregon had no death
penalty, it had the lowest homicide rate of any of the
Western states. When the death penalty was restored
ed, the homicide rate jumped from 4.1 to 7.7 per
100,000 people.
IF it is granted (in light of almost unanimous in-
formed opinion) that capital punishment is
not, in fact, a deterrent, what then is left? Vin
dictiveness? Revenge?
. How about "hiding behind religion" (that's
a phrase for you) long enough to point out that
Christian morality, for some 2,000 years, is all
against the type of vindictive and punitive think
ing implicit in the demand for death as. the maxi
mum penalty. And, the last we heard, quite a few
people still have respect for Christian teachings.
Now as to the "fact that the wealthy may es
cape and the poor may suffer the iqxtreme pen
alty": "The death penalty is an arbitrary discrimination
against an occasional victim." House committee on
the District of Columbia, 69th Congress.
"Until capital punishment is abolished, there is
little hope of even-handed justice in murder trials."
-August Vollmer, distinguished former police chief
of Berkeley, Calif.
"Capital punishment is applied so unevenly and
with so much controversy and sensationalism that it
probably does more harm than good." Richard A.
McGee, commissioner of corrections for California.
"I have escorted 150 men and 1 woman to the
death chamber. They came from all kinds of homes
. and environments, but they had two things in com
mon. They were all poor and most of them were
friendless." The late Warden Lewis E. Lawes of
Sing Sing.
-
THE fact that innocent men have been executed
is not a "half-truth."
Neither are these : :
Only 2 'per cent of convicted murderers in
this country are executed.
Imposition of the death penalty is inequal;
some juries are "tough," some "soft-hearted."
Never in the histoiy of Oregon has "a paroled
or pardoned murderer been recommitted for a
crime of violence.
Some juries hesitate to convict a murderer on
the basis that the punishment is too severe.
It may be "cheaper" in dollars and cents to
execute a man than to keep him in prison the
rest of his life but not always. In California,
for instance, the state has paid some half -million
dollars in attempts to execute Caryl Chessman,
who is still alive. Appeals from men sentenced
to death can, and often do, drag on for years.
The Constitution of- Oregon (Section 15,
Article I) says: "Laws for the punishment of
crime shall be founded on the principles of refor
mation, and not of vindictive justice."
.. The' bill to end capital punishment, and refer
it to a vote of the people, passed the state senate
29 to 0, and the house 38 to 19.
.
A LL these facts ("half-truths"?) add up to one
"V thing,, which was well put by the late War
den Lawes, quoted above, when he said:
' -v " . . . The death penalty is a relic of savagery,
perpetuated by custom and an ignorance, main
tained by false assumptions, and consumated in
a killing that is legal in name only; it condones in.
an act of an agent what would be a murder .for
an individual ; it carries out in secrecy what would
be revolting in public ; it is man-made and fallible
and, therefore, subject to gross miscarriage of
justice ; it is ineffective and sets an example for
murder; it violates the teachings of Jesus and the
conscience of an enlightened mankind.
We will vote No. 4 "Yes" to remove the death
penalty from the state constitution as the maxi
mum penalty for first degree murder. E. A.

from a League of Oregon Cities newsletter) con

How About Sales Tax?
To the Editor: Eve Nye, in
her political ads, keeps stress
ing the fact that she, if elected,
will work for a tax program
fair to all.
This statement is quite
broad when compared with
her , pre-primary statements
that, if elected, she would
work for a state sales tax.
Somehow, during the past few
months, she has realized that
the majority in Oregon de
spise the sales tax. Therefore,
the words "sales tax", are
taboo with her now.
Would not a prompt and
clearly defined statement from
her regarding this issue be in
order?

Silly Season
To the Editor: The respec
tive central committees of
both major .political parties
are excellent organizations
from the standpoint of pur
pose, even though ; there ap
pears to be some ' Question
when it comes to nrinciDle.
No one quarrels with the fact
that the committees are elect
ed by popular vote. However,
if I had to side step the point
of issue as you have Mr.
Redden, I would indeed feel
inclined to need a "ghost
writer."
I repeat-as was proven by
events subsequent to the pri
mary election-the man chosen
by party vote is not the man
chosen by 'popular vote.
Whether the central commit
tee feels morally obligated
to secure the "withdrawal"
of the people's choice or
whether his "withdrawal" is
a convenient method of re
placing the unwanted with
the wanted is simply two ways
of saying the same thing. The
fact remains, Mr. Redden,
Sheehan is not the choice of
his party, as you would at
tempt to lead us to believe.
Mr- Sheehan's integrity or
the legality of his election is
not questioned-we will be bal
loting on the qualifications of
the man Sheehan or the man
Walsh, the real difference be
ing between a man rewarded
for past party service or a
man elected by reason of past
community' service.
I certainly agree the silly
season is upon us-and the
local (vocal) chairman is mak
ing it even.sillier.

Try and Stop Me
By BENNETT CERF
A GREAT VIOLIN PLAYER stalked into the African jungle
armed with nothing more formidable than his fiddle and
bow. .What's more, the music he played was so beautiful that a
: variety of wild beasts, come
to dine on him for dinner,
.remained to listen in en-.chantment.-
His admirers
soon included three blood
thirsty lionesses, a wild ele
phant or two, a leopard, a
cougar, and a couple of
hooded cobras.
In the middle of "The
Moonlight Sonata," how
ever, a panther leaped out
or a tree and before you
could say "Johannes Sch
mierkase," slew the poor
musician. The other animals
were simply aghast '-..- -
. "How," demanded one outraged lioness, ."could you bear to
do away with a man who could produce such exquisite melo
dies?" The panther shook his head and said, 'Tm afraid youll have
to speak louder, my friend. Tm very hard of hearing."
Have you heard about the spaceman who landed in Paris Mid told

He's Had It
To the Editor: So Charles
O. Porter had to introduce
legislation to "educate" us
poor, ignorant yokels in. the
Rogue valley on the need for
flood control and water con
servation! Brother, as far as
Mr. Porter is concerned, I
have had it! .
. A statement in the Mail
Tribune on Tuesday said that
Porter said he introduced the
Rogue River development bill
to call attention of local peo
ple to the situation." I think
we know something of our
own needs, Mr Porter. Per
haps we know them even bet
ter than you do, oddly enough,
And in case anyone is in
terested, Porter's opponent,
Paul Geddes, was chairman of
the committee in the State
Senate in 1955 which drew up
and passed the Oregon water
resources law the first of its
kind in any state. Mr. Geddes
leally knows something about
water resources and has more
interest in the matter than us
ing it as a political issue in
hope of getting votes.

Leave a Tip!
To the Editor: Readers, hav
ing had opportunity to read
in The Mail Tribune of the
plight of female . workers,
could do much to relieve this
pressure in our area. I, too,
have made some study of the
working - woman's position,
and in view of my findings, I
would like to recommend a
Leave a Tip campaign.
Short-order and sandwich-
fountain houses most usually
pay the least to women em
ployees, and I estimate that
one in .five, of such places in
our area currently pay 85
cents an hour, or less. Inter
ested persons, disbelieving,
may simply ask the waitress
who waits upon them "How
much are you paid?"
Diners-out who pay $3 or
more for their meal, would
not dare fail to abide by this
unwritten law, and a tip of
15 to 20 per cent is naturally
assumed necessary for the
waitress who served him,
took his order and delivered
his food. That, is all. Other
employees prepare that food,
others bus away his dirty
dishes, others wash them,
others do janitorial work, and
still others prepare the drinks
he had ordered other than
coffee.
That same diner-out, at
"lunch hour" next day, be
comes quite as amply stuffed
with a sandwich, malt and
0-2Z
pie. He saves $2, compara
tively, but he assumes that
this waitress either deserves
no tip nor share of the sav
ing, or else he supposes she's
accustomed to never receiv
ing tips and he'd hate to set
a new precedent. This wait
ress, not nearly so chic, can
not afford a hairdresser, and
her hands are red and she is
not chipper and full of wit.
She has one or more kiddies
at home whom she loves and
supports and for whom she
has hours of work after her
"regular shift." She takes his
order, often goes back and
cooks it, serves it, makes the
malt or other drink, hauls
away his dirty dishes, washes
them, puts them away, then
mops the floor after him at
the end of her shift. She is
paid from ?5 cents to 90 cents
an hour (seldom $1 an hour),
and she never makes over one
thin dime a day in tips!
Leave a Tip you saved
money on this meal Leave a
Tip this lady probably
works five times as hard as
you do Leave a Tip this
gal is fighting a hard battle
to support a family without
training and on scrape-the-bottom-of-the-barrel
wages

TV Complaint
To the Editor: We are two
of the many persons in the
Illinois Valley who have pur
chased television sets on the
assumption that we would
get a good picture from Chan
nel 70, translator for South
ern flreenn Broadcasters sta
tion KBES-TV in Medford.
Were we badly mistaken.
All that the engineers for
the station could, and do, of
fer us are excuses, leading us
to believe that as soon as they
got Copco power up at the
translator, things would be
rosy. They have had Copco
power for some time now and
as the local set owners know,
reception isn't better, it's
worse.
We believe that the televi
sion company is not maintain
ing the translator . at full
power nor full efficiency nor
sending out a good picture.
We also believe -that they are
not beaming their signal to
the area that they applied to
the: Federal ; Communications
Commission to cover, namely
the Illinois Valley, but are
beaming it to cover the
Grants Pass area. There is one
TV repairman in Grants Pass
who advertises he gets a good
signal from the translator,
some 20 odd miles away,
when we here, some six miles
away, get a very very poor
nicture. full of snow and
sound bars; Figure this one
out.
What we want here, is a de
cent picture free from sound
bars and sufficient signal
strength. Other translators in
the country do not have the
nroblems we have here witn
poor picture quality. We be
lieve that the television com
pany is not using their full
FCC allocated strength
either the translator or their
Medford station, but I sup
pose as usual, they have some
lame excuse for this.
When any person calls in to
tell them about the poor qual
ity of the picture, tne engi
neers' answers are always the
same. Just as if they were
reading from a script and in
a surer ised -tone, quote. Oh?
well you're the first to tell us
about it, un-quote.

I am most concerned when it

tory cartoon as that which
appeared on your Sunday

This is an incontrovertible
example of bad taste, and
would seem to me, to call for
emphatic censure of the per
sons responsible. It is immate
rial whether your policy is to
like or dislike Vice President

consider the vituperative
drawing in all its implica
tions? Doesn't it much exceed
the bounds of partisanship,
not to mention propriety? To
me, it looked more like some
thing out of the septic gutters

Is Life So Cheap?
To the Editor: I reported
the shooting incident referred
to in Mrs. MacDougal's letter
and was amazed to find there
is nothing we can do. until
someone is killed, injured or
property is damaged.
Another election is upon
us and the main controversy
seems to be the - religious
status of the candidates and
the availability of new indus
try to Oregon. Cannot one of
these well meaning men take
the first step toward provid
ing a law that will properly
license anyone carrying fire
arms? We have a very good test
given to all Oregon drivers.
Cannot the same principles -be
applied to hunting permits?
Would the cost of an eye ex
amination and a test to deter
mine each hunter's ability to
handle his gun properly his
knowledge of the power of
his weapon, as well as the
distance his shot will carry
be more than the state of Ore

Two to A Customer
. To the Editor: I have noted
the lead editorial in The Mail
Tribune for Sunday, Oct. 19,
wherein E. A. tries to belit
tle the charges brought -by
Mr. Stathos against the con
gressman supposed to repre
sent this district.
I think that E. A. served
notice some weeks ago that,
even though there might be
no other sacred calves about,
any criticism of his dear
friend Charles would receive
prompt editorial defense. We
will' expect that and discount
it.
At the time I saw Mr.
Stathos' article, I was about
to write one on the same sub
ject. Of course the leaflet is
a reprint from the Congres
sional Record; that's about
the only way that the law
could be evaded, and the ex
pense of sending it shunted
from a campaign fund to the
public. Yes, it is a report
on the 85th Congress, but
why was it timed so perfect
ly just before election instead
of coming out weeks ago after
Congress adjourned. Isn't it a
little like the man who kissed
the bride and wondered why
the husband objected? It was
a year after the ceremony.
I could torget most of the
above, however, if it had just
been sent out to the same
mailing list that other such
reports were sent to in non
election times. Instead, this
report, at this election time,
was apparently sent to the
regular mailing list and fur
ther sent out broadcast under
the discredited "box holder'
address; consequently many
people like myself, got two of
them.
You and I and everyone
else except Mr: Porter and
others like him, are paying 4
cents a letter instead of 3
cents because the postoffice
department-needed the raise
to break even.' I thoroughly
approved of . that raise be
cause I think the government
should follow good business
practices, but I do resent hav
ing Mr. Porter adding to that
deficit by broadcasting his
campaign letters, regardless
of how 'he has camouflaged
them, free of charge. If he'd
been paying for the postage,
as he should, he would prob
ably have seen, at least, that
they didn't go out two to a
customer.

plea for th GOP
To the Editor: Friends, elec

Our Tribune editor calls
this the "silly season." Never
has he been more wrong.
There is more at stake in this
election than there has been
for many a year, or is apt to
be for some time to come:
We stand at the cross-roads.
If the Democrats put their
candidates back in power
again we will be wrapped up
so tightly by political labor
bosses we will never be able
to break loose.

from Portland are taking over
the government in Oregon.
Their financial resources are
unlimited. They are full time

The fire was described as
HEAVY.
FOLLOWUP on the hot spot:
Former President Tru
man, taking his daily consti
tutional in New York, tells
the reporters who tag him reg
ularly that the Dulles foreign
policy is to blame for it. He
adds that the crisis in the Far
East is the result of the Eisen
hower administration's sur
render in Korea. (The Korean
armistice was signed in 1953.)
"The chickens,'' HST added,
"are just coming -home to
roost."
HMMMMMMM.
Let's go back farther
than 1953.
When the Republicans were
on the outside looking in, .they
blamed the ACHESON foreign
policy (Mr. Acheson was Mr.
Truman's secretary of state
in those days) for the START
of the Korean war. .
They claimed that if Ache
son hadn't practically told the
commies we wouldn't fight
for Korea there would have
been no Korean war.
WHAT'S wrong?
Who is to blame?
What shall we do?

WOULDN'T know.

Wasco County Gas
Hearing Postponed

Commissioner Howard Mor
gan today, postponed until
Jan. 6-7, 1959, a hearing on
the applications of Northern
Utility company, and North
west Natural Gas company to
provide natural gas to The
Dalles and nearby Wasco
county areas. -
Morgan said he was post
poning the hearing, originally
set for this month, on advice
of Northern Utility lawyers
that they had other cases
scheduled for trial in other
courts.
in our local paper,
He said he did not have to
tell who picked it up or if it
had been picked up. And he
is right. It seems there is a
loop-hole in the present law
that permits this.
Before I talked to Holmes
I had decided he was one of
three things, either very dis
honest, very stupid, or very
naive. However I find he is
none of these. He is an oppor
tunist.' "
Before he went into politics
he was unable to make a
decent living and was deeply
in debt. He went into public
office because he was a failure
at everything else, and he will
co-operate with anyone who
can keep him there, regard
less of their aims.
He said in a talk on TV that
he has sold Oregon. And so
he has, to the wrong group.
But whether he can deliver
us is a different matter. That
must wait until after Nov. 4.
The Democrats claim the Re
publicans are backed by big
business. What are political
labor bosses but big business?
A big business that .has made
an. unholy alliance . with all
the underworld gangsters and
racketeers in the United
States.
I beg of you, all Republi
cans, Independents and clear
thinking Democrats, vote for
the Republican candidates and
we can break the hold of these
political labor bosses before it
is too late.
If the Republicans are put
in office we will get a law with
teeth in it that will do some
good. For we are not trying j
to play both ends against the

that American foreign policy
now and for a number of
years past is somehow out of
tune with the DESIRES nt tVi
American people. .
If that is true, something
ought to be done about it. If a
nation is to survive, its foreign
policy must be kept IN. TUNE
with the basic desirps nt th
people. Foreign policy in
volves such life and death
issues as whether or not w
will go to war and if we do go
io war wnat we are going to
war FOR.
WE WEREN'T happy with
" our foreign policy in Mr.
Truman's day. We aren't hap
py with it now. The logical
conclusion seems .to be that
we aren't happy with the fun
damentals of our foreign pol
icy. WHAT shall we do NOW?
" That question isn't easy to
answer. But this much is rea
sonably clear: .
Political campaign years,
which involve a partisan
struggle for power, are not the
ideal time for bitter partisan
wrangles over foreign policy.
That runs the terrible risk of
leading our enemy to believe
we are weak and disunited.
Realizing that fact, we did
the best we could in Mr. Tru
man's and Mr. Acheson's day.
That's about what we'll have
to do now.
But SOME DAY we should
give prayerful consideration
to an American foreign policy
that is closer to the desires of
the American people who will
have to pay the price if we
go to war.

Amendment ....
and what is your
position?
The way I see it-
Basically I believe
that Government !
should be as close
to the people as
possible. The Coun
ty Home Rule
amendment will
allow greater par
ticipation on the
local level.
