Misguided Leniency
PURPOSE OF ARRESTS, convictions and sentences is
twofold; one, as just punishment of one who has
transgressed on rules of conduct set by society; and two,
aa a deterrent to other potential law violators.
Of all classes of criminal acts, that of arson is per
haps the most cowardly. There is not even the saving
trace of misdirected personal courage in this offense,
such as there might be in other types of law violations.
Roseburg is some distance from Klamath and there
might be extenuating circumstances in a case there to
day, of which we are not familiar. However the facts
as reported in a press dispatch are as follows: Between
50 and 75 fires were set within several days in heavy
stands of timber in Douglas county; after exhaustive in
vestigation, authorities arrested a sheep raiser on the !
charge of arson; this wool grower today entered a plea
of guilty to the charge; he was charged only with mis-1
demeanor, fined $200 and released. I
Frankly, we believe the penalty this sheep raiser paid 1
failed in both purposes of public prosecution. It failed '
to punish the offender severely enough and it certainly
.set no example that would frighten others who might
follow the same course.
' 1 The fact that the fires were extinguished before ma
terial damage was caused, that the farmer, perhaps, had ;
a family, and that others would have suffered by his in
carceration, is entirely beside the point. The fact of the ;
matter is, that millions of dollars was threatened, homes
and lives endangered and a county's wealth was in '
jeopardy by the cool, calculated act of an arsonist whose j
only explanation was that he wanted more range for his i
sheep. i
Here was an opportunity to set an example for forest i
fire arsonists and what happened? A mere ?200 fine. !
! Respect the Fanners Rights
CPARKLIXG CLEAR, cold and invigorating fall days
bring the reminder that seasons on several species
of game fowl will be opened on varying dates in October. I
First comes the season on ducks and geese, October 1 ;
then Chinese pheasant, on every Wednesday and Sunday
in October starting with Wednesday, October 3; and
finally, quail, October 15 to October 31.
We sincerely hope that hunters, particularly those
seeking pheasant and quail, will respect the rights of
Klamath basin ranchers. Fenced land means simply
that true sportsmen should accord the land owner the
courtesy of asking permission to hunt.
' Nine times out of 10, the land owner will be glad
to allow hunting. He might take the name of the hunter
and license number of his car to protect himself in event
of property damage, but, subject to these possible re
strictions, he will usually be glad to allow hunters on
his land. If he refuses, that's his unchallenged privilege,
and the nimrod should certainly refrain from violating
his order.
There is one rule to follow, a very sensible rule that
will make for better feeling between land holder and
hunter It is the age-old Golden Rule: "Do to others
you would be done by."
Even in the old days the amateur was rich, but he got
the riches first.
