Redden (D-Jackson), Medford attorney, led the floor fight in1 the House of Representatives for the Sen ate Joint Resolution removing capital punishment from the Oregon Constitution, recently The resolution, calling for a referral to the voters, would remove any reference to cap ital punishment from the con stitution. Contending that capital punishment was no deterrent to crime, Redden stated that in Michigan, where there has been no capital punishment for more than 100 years, there has been no higher crime rate than in states that have cap ital punishment. He also em phasized the dangers of hu man error, citing cases where persons were wrongfully con victed and wrongfully execut ed. "Execution is a luxury only the poor can afford," Redden declared. He then presented statistics indicating that in the 21 years preceding 1958 every person executed in Oregon had been defended by court appointed counsel. Redden also led debate on SB 10, designed to implement the resolution by providing life imprisonment. This bill was referred to the Commit tee on Constitutional Revision to consider further amend ments. Redden expected it to be on the Governor's desk bv the end of the session.

Persons having a legal problem are urged to consult with an at torney. BUILDING YOUR HOME When you are ready to build,, you will find that the law helps in many ways to make your home more en joyable and secure. When you decide on the type of house you want and the amount you want to spend, then go into details. 1. Your lot: Junor's school or church may be nearby, but find out (a) Whether they are plan ning to run a highway through the area or nearby, Certificate Bill Nears Senate Vote Washington -IIIPU- The Sen ate was expected today to pass legislation ending the silver backing of $1 and $2 bills. The legislation, which has been approved by the House and is supported by silver mining states, would replace silver certificates with fed eral reserve notes backed by 25 per cent gold. Under the bill, the govern ment would end its purchases of silver. It would use 1.6 billion ounces of bullion now in Treasury vaults for produc tion of coins. This supply is expected to last up to 18 years. The bill repeals the 30- year-old Silver Purchase Act now considered obsolete as far as controlling the price of silver. Sponsors said the legisla tion was necessary due to rising costs and underproduc tion of silver. The price on the open market is now close to the point where it would be profitable for citizens to cash $1 and $2 bills for the silver back of them.

To pro tect residents, the plats or basic deeds of some neigh borhoods call on you to build a certain size type of house. (c) Either you or your neighbors may need to run pipes, or string wires over each other's land or to share a driveway. Have the ab stract checked carefully to disclose any easements. 2. Zoning Ordinances: For I your protection the local gov-' eminent zones some areas, for example, for single houses only, for multiple dwellings, for retail stores, for manu facturing, etc. In any case, you should find out what your neighborhood zoning rules are: 3. Building Codes: Be cer tain that the plans and con struction will meet the re quirements of the local build ing codes as to size, location and structure. Municipal or dinances usually impose strict standards for the building, the plumbing and electrical wiring. 4. Financing: Financing contracts protect both you and the lender. Unless you pay cash, you will use credit to pay for your house, most likely a mortgage or a land ; contract. Your installments ! often include principal, inter-1 est, insurance and taxes. j Well worked-out contracts can help make your dream house come true. A construc tion contract or a so-called "earnest -, money" agreement or receipt is no job for an amateur. Your lawyer is trained by education and ex perience to protect your best interests in contracting and closing real estate deals. You know what you want. You should be careful to get what you want.
