Definite Program is NeededS
AUTO ACCIDENT RECORD IS JOLT
About Those Insanity Pleas
For a Better
Record In 1932
In 1931, there were 514 automobile
accident in Klamath Falls. Twenty
five persons were injured. Seven were
killed.
That is the record that was sent to
the National Safety Council for com
parison with other cities, and brought
the humiliating announcement that
Klamath Falls leads the nation in per
capita automobile deaths. It is a rec
ord that should awaken us to a real
ization that we can no longer ignore
the necessity for a definite program to
improve traffic conditions.
As a step toward that goal, it is
probable that Klamath Falls will be
entered in the National Traffic Safety
Contest, sponsored by the safety coun
cil, with Sergeant Carl Cook of the
police department in charge. Sponsors
of the contest state that it will focus
public attention on the need for safe
driving, stimulate safety education in
the schools, create a better feeling to
ward law enforcement, encourage sci
entific traffic engineering, and con
vince the public of the desire of au
thorities to make the streets safe.
Such a program would be well worth
while. It is readily admitted that up
to a few weeks ago, we had done little
definite work toward a solution of our
traffic problems. They had not been
attacked scientifically, except for the
keeping of a few records.
There is much to be done. A study
of the records to discover the most
serious hazards, and the application of
traffic engineering principles where
they are needed, is in order. A quick
study of the records shows for instance,
that there were 80 accidents during
the year on Main street, with six hurt.
There were 65 accidents on South'
Sixth street, with 65 hurt and seven
killed. Spring and South Sixth streets
proved a most dangerous intersection,
with 11 injured. Where it would be
possible to do some work is obvious
from these records.
In spite of the record of last year,
we feel optimistic over prospects for
the future. There is evidence of im
provement. Certain of our traffic prob
lems are being worked out by a vig
orous police attitude and public co
operation. Others can be handled in
the same way. What we need is a defi
nite program.

Should Not Be Way
Out of Punishment
In Cincinnati, a 45-year-old odd jobs
man has admitted kidnaping and fa
tally attacking a six-year old girl.
After the confession, he indicated he
would plead insanity to escape the
electric chair.
Authorities have expressed the be
lief the prisoner is insane, although he
withstood for 19 days the efforts of
detectives to trap him into a confes
sion. He probably was at least tempo
rarily deranged when he committed the
horrible crime.
i Suppose the jury does return ver
dict of "not guilty by reason of insan
ity," and this man goes to the asylum.
Chances are that before many years he
will be pronounced sane and released.
What then? We have stalking in so
ciety the same potential criminal this
man constituted prior to the attack
that led to his arrest
Such procedure is wrong, and it is
time American justice was coming to
a realization of that fact. Common
sense tells us that such persons any
person who pleads insanity to escape
punishment for a murderous crime of
this sort, should not be allowed to re
enter society. Plea of insanity is a tacit
admission of commission of the crime,
and the very fact that such a plea is
substantiated in court should make the
commitment permanent. If the time
comes the subject is no longer in place
in the asylum, incarceration in prison
should be automatic.
That not only would protect society
from the potential maniac criminal,
but would make the plea of insanity
less popular among those who, with
out justification, resort to it to escape
deserved penalty.
Newsies Young
Business Men
Much interest was given the item
which appeared in these newspapers
this week reporting that Herald and
News carriers had received a total of
$13,473.56 in 1931. It is a sizable fig
ure. The newspaper carrier, under the
merchant plan used by The Herald and
News, is a little business man. He owns
his route, purchases his papers from
the publisher, keeps a record of his
business, and accepts the responsibil
ities of proprietorship.
This constitutes a real business train
ing, and it has stood many; a boy in
good stead in after years. It develops
judgment, dependability, honesty, and
it trains in the principles of business.
Many a successful man can trace his
start to newspaper carrying. Among
some that come to mind are Cyrus H.
K. Curtis, Thomas Alva Edison, Wil
liam Wrigley, Jr., Adolf Ochs, Ed
ward Bok, and many others.
Many a family is helped oyer the
hump by the earnings of a carrier boy,
who is making money while still a
youngster and preparing himself for a
worthy manhood.

Tha next thing, then, waa to

glad of her decision. Aside from
th fact that ah knew ah i

would get too much satisfaction
out of It. Uesldea, ah had

It wu sort of period of adjust

crumpled yellow notepaper with

him.
"Listen, honey, please. Listen

try to wake up. Listen. You hare

Jerry'a curly head fell back on
the pillow like weight. Not eren

Joan went back to the phone.
"I can't get him up, find," sh
said quickly. "What ahall we do?"
"Look through his pockets,
Joan. He should bav some notes
somewhere. You read 'em off to
me and I'll write the atory."
Joan ran to the closet and went
through his coat porketi. In the
Inside pocket of th tuxedo ah
came across crumpled piece of
yellow notepaper. till drew it
out. Ther were fire or six sent
ences and a few straggly words
scribbled on It. Hurriedly sh
grabbed the phone again.
"Here it ie, Bud. There isn't
much on It, but It says, 'Rosen
wald.Madelaon. eminent explorer,
new ideas on non-combustible bal
loon, to be financed by It.' Did
you get It?"
Ilud waa scribbling rapidly.
"Yeah, to be financed by R. Go

" 'Madelson to take oft for un
explored parts of northern Europe
late In October.' Then ther are
a few words here, 'Billion,' 'Ros

"Thanks, Joan, that'a enough.
I guess I can make aom kind of
a atory nut ot It."
"Oh, Bud. I "
Bud cut her off.
"Ootta hurry, Jo. See you
later."
Bud hung up the receiver and
at down at Jerry'a trpewriter.
When Jerry wok up he waa
all alone. He looked orer at
Joan's bed and saw th little
larendor spread pulled neatly np
her for while yet. Not until he
had had a cigarette anyway.
He pulled himself np and
reached his table. The cool, sooth
ing draughts of amok mad him
feel better. Gar him courage to
think about last night. After all,
what waa there to remember?
Not thing after that first
speech made by the explorer. Boy,
somebody had certainly explored
for that liqnor ther had serred.
I, was something to giro to the
world. He had only had four
drinks or waa it five? Anyway,
certainly not enough to hare put
him under the way It bad. He
wondered how he had gotten
home. Bnd no. Bud had left
the office before he eren went to
the banquet. Well, hare be was.
He must hare arrlred aom way.
Wonder If Joan Jerry groan
ed. Maybe sh had left him
gone home to her father. He got
out ot bed and walked unsteadily
to the closet. No, her brown
lizard skin bag wan still there.
He listened carefully, but he
didn't bear a sound of her.
Wouldn't blame her at all if
she had left him. Why, oh, why.
did things happen to mm that he
didn't seem to har any power to
atop? Ha walked orer to the
dressing table and his eyes fell
on th familiar notepaper that
was lying there.
My God! Hla atory! What had
happened to It He looked at his
wrist watch. Four o'clock In the
afternoon. Th first time In his
life ha had ever missed getting
his story In. Th first time! And
It had to be now, when he was
married to Joan, and so shortly
after he wa married to her.
He grabbed th phone and rang
th office.
"Bud. My God! What hap
pened last night? My atory, I
missed today."
Bud laughed.
"You know what I ought to
call you, Jerry. But I won't. I
really ahould let you think yon
ar coins to get fired. But I
won't do that, either; I called
Joan and ah read your notes
off to m and I wrote your atory
for you, yon big heel."
Jerry felt that he waa
chameleon, changing colors a
thousand times, and every color
was red.
"Thanks."
That was all he could get out.
He wanted to say more but he
couldn't. He wouldn't bare felt
so cheap about It If Just Bud bad
been concerned, but he had to
consider Joan now. She must
think he waa th prize husband.
Oh, God, It was terrible. He
couldn't fac her. He hurried In
to the bathroom and took a show
er. Then he dressed and caught
a car for the office.
He stopped at State and Madi
son and bought a copy of th
Press. Then he went orer to
Tony's and had a few glass of
beer to pick him np. His story
waa in th paper, probably better
than he could bar written It.
Bud had used hla Imagination.
Swell to har a friend with a lit
tle creatlre power.
He would nerer let It happen
again. Absolutely not. He hsd
learned his lesson. He laid the
paper down on the table. It did
not occur to him to look at
Damery'g column.
Last night had been Joan's
first taste of a keen disappoint
ment. Sh was going to handle
It brarely. Of that she wu aur.
After ahe had talked to Bud ah
got np and dressed, went orer to
the garage, and got In her car.
She needed to be all alona to

wouldn't drink that Is, get ter
ribly drunk as he used to do
