AUTOS AID CRIME

The motor car of today in the hands of thieves and robbers, has far outstripped the stolen horse of pioneer days as an aid to crime, says the Chicago Crime Commission in its latest bulletin.
 While the horse thief in the days when justice was stern and swift might see himself dangling from a halter, the auto criminal has diff erent mental picture in the event of capture, according to the commis sion. His modern view includes ar rest, release on bond, conferences in the well furnished offices of the criminal lawyer, trips to court, de lays, possible conviction, new bond appeal to the Supreme Court, the fixing" of witnesses and escape.
 Motor cars were a factor in 355 fellony cases in Chicago in 1922 the commission points out, but the criminal court increased the per centage of defendants penalized in 1922 to 37 per cent. as compared to 25 per cent in 1921.
 Ninety percent of Chicago rob berries, in the opinion of these ex- perts, are preceded by the theft of an automobile, and in 1922, 2,007 robberies were committed. These in volved 115 defendants. charged with robbery with a gun in cases where automobiles were taken from their possessors. Of these 115, only 12 suffered penalties. seven going to the penitentiary, four to the re- formatory and one to the house of correction.
 During the year 15 mansladghters cases were called in criminal court and only one of the defendants was penahzed. He received a reforma- tory sentence. according 10 these re- cords. --...

A CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM

An Alaskan Indian was arrested for murder. His captor started with him upon a wearisome journey over snow, which stretched several hun dred miles, of waste between him and jail. During the journey the captor fell i'll; so i'll that he was helpless, whereupon the Indian drag ged him the remaining hundred miles to safety and his own impri- sonment, or perhaps, death.
 A short time ago an American Indian, under sentence of death, got a stay of execution that he might arrange his affairs and harvest his crops for his family. At the end of the reprieve he voluntarily showed up for execution.
 Nor are these instances unique; points out the Capital News Serivce there are many such.
 Apparently the untutored savage has a great respect for law To his mind, the ukase of real authority is made to be respected and obeyed. If broken the laws enacts a pun ishment. The Indian mind does not sec and point to evading that punishment. Even the fact that the punishment may mean death, does not deter him.
 There have been instances of white men who left jail on parole and returned; yet one would hesi- tate to trust any man with freedom who was under sentence of death!
 With such examples given by sav- ages. men with little or no education civilization, or training, it is more reprehensible when we, the citizens of Nation which brides itself up- on being self-governed, deliberately violate laws because we don't like them. Instances are everywhere; the bootlegger and his customer. are but samples Of many. Big business vio- lates the law; see any Federal Trade Commission report. Automobiles vio- late the law; see any police court docket. Granted that misparking and mislabeling are not crimes to be mentioned with murder; granted that buying or selling drink is not to be chased with robbery, Nevertheless a violation of the law is a wrong; it is un-Ameriean, unpatriotic, cow ardly.
 Indians are said to be men with children's minds. With the above in- stances in mind, A little child shall lead them" takes on a new mean ing.

Provisions Made for Contest

If there should be a contest of his will, the sturdy pioneer urges that "the case be fought through all the courts and try to make it as expen- sive as possible for the litigants. :" If any of the legatees should contest and lose he provides that they shall receive nothing. The testator said he wishes all to remember that while l was making this money I was barring my bosom to the storm and sleet and snow and almost suf- fered death many times in the early pioneer days" while those now bene- fitting have lived in enjoyment of modern conveniences.
 The will leaves two of the spe- cial bequests in trust for the bene- ficiaries. A son is criticised for not having developed any financial ability" as the reason for one of the trusts. .. ~..
 The decedent explains that he was tearing up and revising an older will in drawing this one last March. A gift of s25O to Mrs. Mary Erwin Yeager, Danville. Tenn, is explained as having been given in the former will to his namesake, Lewis Erwin Yeager The explanation is that during the 12 months of my dan gerOus illness he has not writ ten me a line"

UNUSUAL WILL OF FORMER
 MARSHALL IS MADE PUBLIC

The Portland Oregonian of May contains the following interesting story concerning the late former marshal of this division. Judge" L. T. Erwin, whose death occurr 'd at the Mayo Hospital in Rochester scv- eral weeks ago following a long period of illness, and whose will is regarded as most unusual by the Portland newspaper:
 "I want no expensive coffin i bought for cremating my remains; i; I want only the plainest box that undertakers use. wish the money saved for the living rather than wasted on the senseless dead" runs a statement in the will of the late Lewis T. Erwin, 66 who died March 2S, at Rochester, Minn., where he had gone for special medical treatment.
 The will is one of the most un- usual ever filed in circuit court. In disposing of an estate in Mutt nomah county valued at S40,000 and property elsewhere, the document is filled with explanations, appre- 1 citations, rebukes and outobiograph- ical references.
 Bequeathing ak tooth No. SIS" to a daughter, Mr Erwin cites that it was given to him by the great Indian Tennewasha" while he was serving as United States Indian a. gent on the Yukon reservation ad- ding the historical touch with ref erence to the donor: He was after ward murdered" In bequeathing to Warren A. Erwin, son, living in Portland, q moose head. the testator referred to 1t as the one he killed at Jarvis Creek, Alaska, the first shot" With like comment the de cedent disposed of such treazurers as the blue wolfskin, white bearskin caraboo, ptarmigan. etc.
 A special gift of s3,5OO goes to Annie Erwin Boone, daughter, ''in appreciation of a sweet kind and sympathetic letter she wrote me when her mother had me arrested and taken from the train at Top penish, Wash. when I was on my way as national delegate to the Baltimore convention" The sum of s100 goes to Harry J. Erwin, Chat tanooga, Tenn, a cousin, charac- terized as the dearest, gentlest, tenderest and manifest man I ever knew"

I'm my opinion, Mr.. Roose.

are vital to success and it is axi-

GOVERNOR RITcHlE AND TAXATION

The taxpayers of this State
must have read with amusement
the speech of Governor Richie
last week in opening his cam
paign for reelection, particular
ly his appeal on the grounds that
he had reduced the State tax
rate. Yes, Governor, the State
tax rate was reduced during your
administration, and so was the
county rate, but what about the
tax bills ? The taxpayers had
to pay more taxes this year than
at any time since Maryland was
founded.
The taxpayers of this State
are being burdened with too
much taxation and have groaned
under the weight of it until it is
becoming unbearable. They want
an administration that is more
interested in relieving them of
the heavy burdens of taxation,
rather than trying to find some
channel in which to spend their
money.
The Governors attention was
called to the fact recently that
the people cannot be fooled by
such buncombe as an appeal for
reelection because of a reduc-
ton OF the tax rate by his most
ardent supporter in the newspa-
per field, the Baltimore Evening
Sun and, apparently being con.
WINGED by that journal that the
people cannot be fooled by such
buncombe, now seeks to get
himself and his party out of the
pit he dug himself by trying to
appease the oyerburdened tax
payer wi5h convincing him that
the surplus taxes received in the
Treasury this year viii Do used
to reduce the State debt. So
well and good. Governor; if it
can be done, it win help mite,
However, should the Demo
cratic party be continued in
power, new channels will be dis
covered into which to pour the
peoples money, as was done in
the Educational bill passed in
last legislature, which made it
mandatory for the counties to
levy money for salaries of use
less officers. More money will
be asked for this and for that, so
that instead of CAKES going down
they will mount higher and
higher. In the matter of educa-
ton, if the increased money ap-
propriated and levied for educa-
tional purposes benefited the
children of this State, whom it
should, no one would object, but
it does not help them one bit.
Instead, it helps those holding
jobs. In this county, and the
same must be true of other coun-
ties, practically every dollar lev
led for the use of the county
board of education goes in sala-
ries, and the children don't get
any more real benefit than they
did five or ten years ago.
The taxpayers are tired of
taxes being increased every year
and demand that an end be put
to it. We believe the burden of
taxation could be lessened by
use of hard, common sense and
pure business methods. This is
what the people want and what
they demand.
The taxpayers cannot any
longer be fooled by buncombe
and will not be lured into keep
ing a party in power by promises
of relief that they believe will
never come. The Governor, be.
sides being a learned man, is also
a shrewd politician, and it must
be astounding to his warmest
supporters to hear him appeal
ing for reelection with such
buncome as he has been using
that the State rate was reduced
during his administration.
