OPPOSES DEATH PENALTY
Governor Allen Declares It Would Be
Backward Step

Topeka, Jan. 19.-Restoration Of
capital punishment in Kansas advo-
Gated as a remedy. for the "crime
wave" would be step backward,
in the opinion Of Gov. II. J. Allen.
He favors, however, strengthening
Of the parole laws wherever possi-
BILE.
Senator Rolla Coleman Of Mer-
riam is sponsor for bill which
would revive the death penalty for
first degree murder. Another bill,
offered by Rep. X. M. Geddes Of Ell
Dorado, would restrict the parole
powers Of state officials. Other
measures intended to tighten the pol
icy of the state in handling crime
will be introduced in the present ses-
sion Of the legislature. The gov
ernor's view on the question, there
fore, are of considerable interest.
If the majouty Of the lawyers
who practice in the criminal courts
believe that capital punishment
would act as deterrent to murder
in the first degree I would not OBJ
ject to that, though I have a feeling
that the restoration Of capital pun-
ishment, which we have never had
in Kansas in actual practice, would
be backward step" Governor
Allen declared.
The governor cites the "aston-
ishing frequency" of murder In Kan
sas City, Mo-, as an indication that
capital punishment has not prevent
ed the recurrence Of crime. Fur
thermore the record of crime In this
state will show, he says, that the
frequency Of first degree crime is no
greater here than in any Of the other
agricultural states where natural
conditions are the same.
"That there has been a crime
wave during and following the war
is, of course, apparent" Governor
Allen continued, "and we are all un-
tied in a general belief that II any
thing can be done to meet 1t or
check it, it ought to be DONE"
