- - Anti-Okie Law Knocked Out
REMEMBER the depression-born border patrol at the
California line, when you had to have cash in your
pocket to get into the Golden State? The wall ajrainst
' indigents was raised at the Dorris entrance south of Klam
nth Falls, and some wag set up a "Los Angeles city limits"
sign there that got nationwide pictorial publicity.
The supreme court has just knocked out California's
anti-Okie law as unconstitutional. The law made it a mis-
- demeanor to bring an indigent person, not a resident of
the state, Into the state. As we recall, the border patrol
of 1983 or thereabouts was actually staged by the city
of Los Angeles, but the anti-Okie law was adopted in
fthe same spirit The whole thing smacked of unconsti
tutionality from the start. No authority has a right in
this free country to tell a man where he can't live.
California, at this time, has mushrooming defense in
dustries that have created a strong labor demand. A man
able and willing to work is not at all unwelcome, even
though he may not be flush when he enters the Golden
State Certain California areas, like the Klamath district
at potato time, need migrant labor to handle the agri- j
cultural crops.
Of course, it was not exactly this type of individual
"at which the anti-Okie law was directed. California had
long pictured itself as a paradise for humanity, and a
lot of worthless individuals made it the goal of their wan
derings. After getting there, they sat down in the vaunted
.sunshine and waited for public aid. It created a problem,
but the anti-Okie law was not the proper solution.
Smith Case Again
THE county grand jury, in its report on the Eugene Hugh
1 1 Smith case, did not give every detail of its investi
gation, but it is presumed that it examined all important
witnesses in that unfortunate case before it reported that
there is not legal basis for another indictment against
Smith or anyone else.
Many Klamath people, who have been sincerely con
cerned lest the law did not take its full measure of justice
in this case,, will find the grand jury's report reassuring.
The character of the men on this jury is such that no one,
will question their courage or thoroughness in making
such an investigation.
' Smith got five years for failing to stop at the scene
ef the accident in which Marie Russell was fatally in
jured. If the law had permitted a heavier penalty under
the charge, Smith would no doubt have received it. He
Certainly got no more than he deserved, and the district
attorney's recommendation against a parole is fully jus
tified. '

DETROIT, Dec. 5 Henry
Ford said in an Interview Wed
nesday that out of the war In Eu
rope will come a federation of
the world in which "all barriers
ot nationality will be leveled
and the peoples of tha world live
in ,-wiiiiiiuii peace ana prosper
ity."
It will be a federation In
which politics will be definitely
aiscareieci; one In which a univer
sal currency, a universal econ
omy and a universal market will
prevail, he asserted.
Unless such a federation Is es
tablished, the 78-year-old Indus
trialist added, the present war
win te only a dress rehearsal for
another and more terrible con
flict. "The United States Is a prac
tical example of federation. We
federated because it was the
only way to save ourselves from
ruin. Europe is findlns she can.
not live unfederated today,"
Ford said.
'If the United States Duts Its
influence behind it the same
type of agreement can be ar
rived at in Europe. No country
should be forced in, but every
country soon would see the ad
vantage to be gained by volun
tarily coming in. They would

be no wars because nations
would all be neighbors in the
same federation. This In turn
would lead to a universal cur
rency and a universal economy
and a developed industry that
would have all the world for Its
market."

Thursday. Jurton VamHnhro
made the off-the-record comment
that "seven good citiiens have In
vestigated this matter and found
it satisfactory that ought to set
tle it."
"Stralahtlorward"
He called the grand jury's
statement a "straightforward re
port." "From our Investigation," snld
the grand Jury's report, "we feel
that the casa was properly In
vestigated and handled by all the
various law enforcement agen
cies participating In the matter. "
The Jury also stated It had
learned that the Klamath dis
trict attorney's office recom
mended to the state parole board
that no parole be granted Eu
gene Hugh Smith.
The Smith ease has been the
subject of reports and discus
sion since the Judge ordered Die
grand Jury to Investigate It. One
report was that a witness In the
case, who had testified at tha
preliminary hearing, had come
forward with new evidence
which would indicate the nece.
sity of a more serious charge
against smith. The grand Jury,
presumably Investigated the
story of this witness before it
made its final report on the case
Thursday.
The Jury returned one Indict
ment, charging statutory rape
against Alfred Marlon Richard
son, 19. Arraignment was set
for Saturday.
Foreman Colman O'Loughlln
of the Jury told the court that
the Jury had completed Its In
vestigation for the time being,
indicating It would work later
on the Investigation of public of
fices as directed by the judge.
It was understood the Jurors
decided to wait until the state
makes Its audit of Klamath
county offices before opening
that Investigation.
