GOV. WEST OPPOSES
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT

The last official act of Governor West
before he left Salem on the 3 :4O train
last Wednesday, Nov. y, was to an
nounce that the death sentence of Jams
NJ. William Hassing, sentenced to hang
December 10 for numbering his wife,
would be commuted to life imprison-
ment. The governor went further and
declared there would be no more necks
broken by the state Of Oregon as long
as he was chief executive. :,
''The old rule that bloOdshed should
be expatiated by the shedding of blood
is, in my opinion, relic Of barbarism
and not in consonance or keeping with
the civilization or the spirit of the
twentieth century. 1t is an antiquated
and an uneconomic remainder from the
dark ages, ;" said the governor.
81 contend that the spirit and the
civilization of this age call for the
repeal of the capital statute as the
punishment for first degree murder.
believe that Imprisonment for life
should be the penalty for shedding
human blood.
II recommended the abolition OF
capital punishment to the last legls-
lature. | will again make the same
recommendation in 1918, unless the
law has been previously amended al
the general election of 1912.
IL will, and do, advocate the repea
of the capital statute, and the limita
tion Of the pardoning power of the
governor in relation to life sentences
for the first degree murder. ] hope tt
see this reform accomplished before
the expiration of my term of office anC
the present barbaric law wiped from
the statute books of this state.
