THE REWARD OFFER STANDS
~(Brownwood Bulletin).

Despite a wave Of criticism that has swept over the
state. the $1,000 reward offer Of the Texas Bankers
association for dead bank bandits only" will stand in
definitely. according to President William NJ. Massie
Of the bankers organization. In . current magazine
article. he r~eiterates the determination Of his associa-
tion to stamp out bank robbery. and points to the rec
ords to show that since he reward offer was made on
November !, last, there has been marked progress
in Texas"
should be modified. so rs to encourage the capture and
conviction Of bank robbers rather than their summary
execution but it is well to consider both sides Of the
case. Mr.. Massie, among other things, said:
During the past eight years there have been 140
successful bank robberies in Texas. in which the rob-
bers got away with s564,0s5, and during the same Pc
Rod only thirty convictions Of persons charged with
bank robbery And a number of those convicted were
soon at liberty and free to commit more bank rob-
berries, some rsrdoned. some escaped.
Between the time the reward notices first were
posted, late in November, and January /, three Texas
bank robbers have been killed in the act, two wounded,
the leading members of a well-organized gang believed
to be responsible for a series of bank holdups over
two years time have been rounded up, only one sue
cessful bank robbery occurred and one bank robber wal
sentenced to the electric chair. Furthermore, there
have been a greater number of arrests on the charge
of bank robbery in Texas during he past six weeks
than during the previous two years.
I'VE are going to keep on advertising the fact far
and wide that we will pay $1,000 for every dead bank
robber and that we will not pay a cent for a hundred
live bank robbers" Massie concludes. 1--WE are
launched upon this policy for an indefinite period. q

The World and All
USE FOR CRIMINALS
By Charles r. Driscoll

I am opposed to capital punishment. For ever 50
many reasons. Not all Of my reasons coincide with
the reasons oited ~ the societies that are opposing
capital puni'hms1 in the state legislatures.
Capital punishment is a woeful waste, and, 50 far
as I can see. it accomplishes only one result. 1t does
get rid Of the convicted criminal who is subjected to it.
! favor using criminals who deserve death in q way
that may really repay society for the damage done by
the criminal. A murderer owes society q debt. He
has taken away a social unit when he has killed. He
can not make good the debt by submitting to death
himself. The state only increases the deficit when it
kills the murderer.
Let the murderer be sentenced to life imprison-
ment. with the special provision that he be available
at all times for medical experimentation
Let the American Medical Society, the Rockefeller
Institute, and other beneficient organizations Of scien-
tific men, take charge of the murderers. and use them,
within the prisons, for such tests and experiments as
they think may serve to save other human lives.
believe this to be a thoroughly practical and hu-
manitsrian proposal. and ! also believe that there is
not the slightest chance that IL will be taken seriously
for at least a century. We are too hypocritical. as a
race, to admit to ourselves that we could properly COM
pei even the most depraved criminal to submit to ex-
which might save millions of lives with
out harming him at all. But we are willing to consent
to the most brutal kind of official killing of criminals.
How could we safeguard the rights Of the murderer?
How could we be sure that the doctors wouldn't abuse
him, or even cause his death?
The answer is that murde-ers, duly convicted, have
no rights that the state Is bound to respect. Else the
state wouldn't be killing them, as it does, in so many
cases, now.
One trusts a doctor, ~perforce, a good deal. I would
be willing to trust a medical association or a philan-
thropic institution. under proper supervision, with the
fate and welfare of the murderers in . state prison.

A Department of Service

The United States department OF commerce. has
passed the milestone that marks the first quarter cen
tury Of its existence. and in twenty-five years Of
service the department. has made itself so helpful to
American trade and industry that IL is now recognized
Is one Of the most important, IL not the most impor-
tsnt, governmental departments.
It was originally established as the Department Of
Commerce and Labor. but from the outset it belonged
more to commerce than labor. In 1918 the departments
we're separated, and from that time the development Of
its activities has been rapid.
With the appointment of Herbert Hoover as head
Of the department the work has been broadened. and
its scope now covers virtually every activity Of COM
mercs and industry. The influence Of the department
ia felt In svsry part Of the world. New markets for
American products of every description have been
established. The department has virtually pioneered
in carrying on its campaign to extend American COM
meree and industry, and American prestige and influ-
,ncs have developed as foreign commerce increased.
The department Of commerce now reaches out into
every country of consequence. keeping its fingers con-
stantly on the pulse of world trade. Through its far
flung ~outposts it collects data on economic, CONNER
cisl and financial conditions at home and abroad AS
they affect the availability Of markets for particular
products at particular times. At home its surveys
cover cooperative buying and selling, trade practices
and merchandising methods of various industries in
different sections of the country. Every week the
bureau answers the inquiries of an average Of 5000
visitors and ~tsiephons callers and sends out some
$1,000 communication.
Among the far-resching developments in the de-
partnent have been those within it's bureau OF stan
dards. The bureau was constituted TO maintain the
national standards Of weights and measures, but in
recent years congress has greatly added TO its duties,
10 that its researches are now concerned. not only with
standards of weights and measures and the physical
properties Of materials, but also with standards Of
quality, Of practice and performance.
Much has also been contributed to the safety and
prosperity Of the mining industry BY this department.
II maintains numerous experiment stations, and some
tvo years ego IN economies branch was added to the
bureau TO meet problems arising from the marketing
ana handing Of minerals and mineral products.
The results % the twenty-five years Of It's existence
have fully demonstrated the wisdom Of those who
created the department. That American industry and
commerce occupy the high plane attained is due in 40
snail measure 70 the department Of commerce. and the
f~ou,dstion has been established for greater achieve
msnts in these lines In the years to come

Timely Views
RENEWING OF FORESTS URGED
By WILLIAM 3. GREELEY
Chief United States Forester.

William B. Greeley was born in 0swego, N. ",
in 1879. He was graduated from the University Of
California in 1901, and from the Yale Forestry
School in 1904. Greeley has been connected with
the United States forestry service since 1904,
first as an Inspector of various forest regions.
until 1911, then as assistant forester in charge Of
timber sales and reforestrstion until 1920, and
finally chief United States forester in the later
year,.
To work out our timber and forest land problems
requires a great deal more than is now being done.
There should be no delusion that the problem either
has been solved or that it will be solved in any ade-
quate way If things are simply left to take their own
course.
The future of our forests rests largely with the
commercial interests which own and convert them.
Success in solving our forest problems rests primarily
upon the rate and degree to which forestry is incor-
.p~orsted in industrial timberlsnd management. Graft
flying progress Is now taking place in this direction in
many instances.
Responsibility also rests, in my judgment, upon
forest industries and landowners to progressively ex-
tend timber growing as part Of their operations. There
is an obligation for industrial leadership and fore
sight in working out this national economic problem.
Unlike many of our natural resources, timber can
renew itself. Its right use does not exhaust the sup
ply, but perpetuates il. In the long run, indeed, right
use increases the supply. for it speeds up growth. The
lumber and other forest industries can and should be
perpetual.
The bulk Of our forest land must be devoted "a
commercial timber growing. Here the public interest
in outdoor beauty and recreation will be served by
precisely the same development which serves the eco
nomic needs Of the country. This is evident today in
many portions Of New England, MS well as elsewhere.
General reforestation. with the harvesting of timber
under methods that insure continuous growth. will
preserve, and in many cases restore, the attractiveness
OF rural landscapes, and opportunities for outdoor
recreation.
The economic benefits from timber use and general
timber replacement are ~ one with the social benefits
from forest perpetuation, and any course calculated to
promote the former will. 70 an equal degree, conserve
the latter. I believe that this relationship between
commercial forestry. whether on public or private
lands. and the outdoor interests Of the country, will
become more and more generally appreciated, especial
ly as the manufacture Of timber products loses the
stigma Of forest destruction and is clearly associated
with forest renewal

MILLIONAIRE SENATOR VOTES

Couzens is the richest man in the

The power industry's preference
for the trade commission is natural

as soon as he introduced 1t, that
Walsh, himself, would have to be u
member Of any senate committee
chosen to do the investigating, and
Walsh, as an investigator, is the
best-known terror in the country.
As for the trade commissioners,
they're the appointees Of an admins

gentleness toward "big business"
This isn't to imply that the power
