IS THIs oouNTRY NEUTRAL?
Salem, Or, Nov. 81, 1914.
Editor Daily Capital journal,


Salem, Or, Nov. 81, 1914.
Editor Daily Capital Journal,
Salem, Oregon.
My Dear Sir: l noticed the follow
ing statement in your editorials of
November oath:
"In the first three months after the
war started this country was given a
contract for more than three hundred
million dollars worth of food stuffs,
war material, horses and other things.
Daily this long list is being added to
until practically every industry feels
the effect of the increased business,
etc."
| am regular subscriber to your
paper and have often noticed that you
have praised this government for its
neutrality" in the present European
war. How can you explain the neutral.
ity of our country when we are daily
supplying the combatants with the
necessities for carrying on the war;
The fact that our National Admins.
tration nominally stands neutral is no
answer to this question 1t matters but
little what our National Administration
says so long as the Nations at war can
get from private concerns in this coun.
try all the food and war material they
desire for slaughtering their enemies.
Is it not fact that the only absolute
neutrality that we could maintain
would be such neutrality that we
would not permit the expectation of any
material directly or indirectly, to the
warning nations that would in any way
assist them in prolonging their struggle
1t amounts to naught to advocate
peace and still supply the combatants
with war material.
Yours in sincerity,
f. L. Cannon.

FINE AND IMPRISONMENT.

Judge Norton of Stockton California Saturday fined
f. P LamoruS editor of the Stockton Labor News $3.50
for contempt of court the ofense being committed some
time ago when the editor criticised the Judge and sent him
marked copy Of the paper Without going into the me1
its of the case it may we'll be doubted if the punishment
fixed by the judge legal He, in passing sentence fined
amors $3.50 or in he did not pay the fine 250 days
in ail 1t is wel-known fact that every state deliber
atey violates its own laws not just occasionally but as
rule whenever it thinks best to do For instance here
in Oregon there is the usury law which says the receiv
ing of more than 10 per cent interest year uSury and
forfes the whole amount to the state Yet in face of
its own laws the legislature fixes IL per cent interest
rate on delinquent taxes There dozens of other ways
in which it violates its laws and this is only mention
ed as example.
In the Lamorus case, the fining him $3.50 created
debt due from him to the state The judge in his sentence
said that if he did not pay this debt he should go to Jail
one day for each dollar Of it, This in the face of the in
hbon of the constitution of his state and of the United
States which says mo person shall be imprisoned for
debt"
This naturally brings up the question: "Is fine any
punishment"
The only punishment possible under the law, as inter
preted until recently that could be inflicted on corpora
tion was a fine 1t might be the corporation made mil
lions of dollars by its violation of the law yet fine of
few thousand dollars all the punishment that could
be meted out to it, and this punishment at all
it was simply the taking of portion of the corporations
crminaly gotten gains sort of licensing of it, and in
such way that the government state became party
to the crime.
The finng system is class legislation of the worst kind
for under it the who has money enough to pay his
fine goes free while the fellow without means goes to Jail
The poet SAKE divided mankind into two classes "Those
who had money and those who had not" 1t would seem
the law has made the same classification and provided
different punishment for the same ofense to each class
The farce of attempting to punish by fine should be
longer tolerated.
