LOGAN PAYNE COMPANY Seneca Hoty ‘ower res: oe AYNE, BURNS & SMITH raioetadd| NEW YORK : : : Fifth Ave. Bidg (Official City, State and Ceanty Newspaper) Dollars and Cents Service Governor Theodore Christianson has vetoed the bill raising salaries of Minnesota legislators from $1,000 to $1,500 a year. He gives as his reason| that “public service cannot be measured in dollars and cents. North Dakota was confronted with the same problem during the last legislative assembly, when the question of raising the solons’ salar agitated and finally lost sight of in the last- ute rush, The same arguments about measuring public service in dollars and cents were advanced at that time, Governor Christianson was clected and reclected on a platform of economy. He pledged his efforts to cutting down mounting state appropriations. | He has adhered faithfully to this platform and, as a result, many unnecessary items have been pared from the state budget. In this case, however, the governor seems to out- siders to have gone a little too far in his fight for economy. It is doubtless pleasant for Minne sota citizens to think that by vetoing this bill Christianson saved the state approximately $90,000 But the question of whether it would not be bene- ficial to have let this bill pass still remains. The fact that legislators in the majority of states ars underpaid is notorious. Publie service should not, strictly, be measured in dollars and cents, as the governor s: It is doubtful whether the legislators who supported this bill did so only because they wished added compensation at the expense of the state. What the governor does not take into consideration is the fact that the average senstov or representative | who spends 60 or 90 days attending a oftentimes forced to spend his own money out his salary. Surely a state should be able to pa lators well for the work they do. Expenditure of extra money to reimburse these men for their pub- lie service does not seem unreasonable. And fairer — jon how to secure a readjustment will be able to function without hiring a lawyer. This measure will not, it is to be imagined, find great favor with the legal profes n but perhaps it would be more popular with the common taxpayer. Federal tax officials who have reviewed income tax returns say they constantly discover overpay- | ‘ments through failure to understand the law but |their hands are tied, as they have no power to |move unless the taxpayer originates a protest. The ltax officials say that inasmuch as now a lawyer lis the first requisite they agree that many citi- !zens, while aware of their rights, let the whole matter go by default because they cannot afford the expense which a formal refund involves. If the new advisory committee can remedy this situation then it will well have justified its creation. Crime and Punishment | Year by year our crime bill grows, until now, | faccording to such authorities as Mark Prentiss, | who organized the national crime commission, our | armual payment to lawlessness is larger than the combined total of farm products, larger than the entire European debt to this country. Yet this increase scarcely can be charged to lawmaking lethargy or lack of corrective etiort on | the part of penal authorities. The last few weeks have seen important developments toward the ‘urbing of crime. ‘ At San Quentin penitentiary, California, has been adopted a practice which many hail as a revolu- | tionary step in criminal rehabilitation. It is plastic | surgery for the faces of those convicts who feel | that their appearance is against them. The under- | slung jaw, the squinty eye, the mashed nose and | the low, apish brow mark a man so that he has no | hance to make good, they say. A far cry from the day when criminals were de- liberately disfigured so that all who met them might , know their true character.

He oftentimes was a man ot -gubnormal intelligence, and then at other times Ys one who, although not educated, possessed . More than the average mentality. The “hoboes’ “-“frollege” in Kansas City bears this out. All the northwest states had their hobocs a few years ago and they were a commonplace. People accepted their pleas for food or money neg- ligently and let them live their own strange lives Nearly every town, if it were of any size, had “jungle,” where the “bo’s” could congregate while | waiting to hop the next train. Today, these “jungles” are confined to a few of the more im- _ portant railroad points. Some cities have them still) because of the facilities provided through be- ;+-dng railroad division points, but old-timers say that the hoboes grow fewer every year. The “drifter,” the itinerant laborer who wanders from place to place getting farm work or othe: manual labor, is still a factor, in North Dakota at least, but the “panhandler” is passing. College boys, off on vacations, are “riding the rods” to see the country, or hailing rides along well-traveled highways. Occasionally writers use this method. _One of them drew some vivid pen-pictures of west- £3arn North Dakota in a recent issue of a popular magazine. The man who asks you for a ride may a college professor, out for adventure. So Jeff Davis’ words may have a meaning.

That is the record. He perjured himself in the federal court when he said that Joyce Hawley had not been in a bathtub of wine at the party which made him all his trouble. The affair was precisely one a man would lie about. He would be expected to lie about it. Even if he were disreputable enough to have such a party he would be expected | to be at least respectable enough not to admit it. The lie would be about the only evidence of self- respect he could give, and if he didn’t give it he | would be regarded as even more shameless than the | act itself indicated he was. If it had been milk in the bathtub Carroll would not have been in the federal ¢ourt at all. The | offense to decency and morality could have used pink pop, ginger ale, lemonade, tea or anything else the lady preferred and the United States would have left Carroll to the care of the state of New { York.
