MATTERN SAFE

DEPORT that Jimmie Mattern, round
N the world flyer, is safe after being
listed as missing for several weeks, is
pleasant news to all.
His courageous attempt to circle the
globe by himself held the interest of the
world during his dash across the Allan
tic. Europe and Siberia. From being in
the headlines news accounts of him
dwindled TO paragraph size when he
failed to arrive in Alaska after taking
off from Siberia.
Only this week a rescue party was or
ganized and dispatched to Alaska to seek
some trace of him. It had hardly ar
rived at its base when the report came
that he was safe in a little Siberian viii
lage, remote from all contact with the
world.
While no details of his situation have
been received, it is assumed he is safe
and it is hoped he will soon be able to
return to his native country to receive
the welcome he deserves.

DON'T PICK THEM UP

IN THE news columns of this issue read
/ ers will find the story of prominent
Arizona man, victim of hitch-hiker un-
der circumstances similar to the Camp
bell-Davis Staying in this county decade
ago.
The Arizona man picked up hitch
hiker between Nogales and Tucson. Lat
er his body was found on the desert. he
had been shot several times. The hitch
hiker, arrested in a Tucson hotel, ad-
mitted having killed the man who be-
friended him, for his money.
While not so numerous on the hlgh-
ways of the valley just now, because OF
climatic conditions, hitch-hikerS are plen-
tiful on the outskirts of all valley
cities, where they solicit rides.
There are some valley residents who
pick them up, wishing to have com
pany" on the lonesome ride across the
desert roads to San Diego, Los Angeles
or Yuma. Perhaps they were not III the
valley when Leslie Nichols met such d
cruel fate at the hands of Campbell and
Davis, or they would not take the risk
involved in permitting strangers-prac-
tically hoboes-to enter their cars.
1t may be that reading the fate OF
this Arizona man may make them real
ize the danger to which they expose
themselves and for this reason the story
is called to their attention.

JUDGE CHARGES PERJURY

COME time ago federal Judge holding
- court in San Diego caused consider
able comment by announcing he was
ready to accept pleas of guilty in all
cases on his court calendar and that
where his offer was refused and con-
viction was obtained, the refusal to plead
guilty would be taken into consideration
in imposing sentence.
1t was remarked at the time that fed
eral judges have much more latitude in
running their courts than have state
judges. While this is true, state Judges
also have much authority. which many
of them fail to use.
Judge Bowron, of the Los Angeles Su-
perior court, recently showed that he is
not hesitant about using the authority
which he has. He interrupted case in
his court, and eXcusing the jury, charged
that witnesses were perjuring them
selves. He gave all witnesses 15 minutes
to decide whether or not they wished to
resume the stand and tell the truth an
noUcing that if they failed to accept his
offer he would turn over the names of
those he believed guilty of perjury to the
district attorney for prosecution.
If such wilful and deliberate perjury
can be committed and no prosecutions
result our courts are hopeless; we might
as we'll close our doors and give way to
anarchy or any other method of settling
civil or criminal disputes, or ascertain
ing what the facts are, or inflicting pun
ishment or protecting property. The in
tegrity of our courts must be maintain
ed" he said from the bench.
None of the witnesses accepted the
courts offer. 1t will be interesting to
see if Judge Bowron follows up his open
threat and brings the perjurers to JUS
tice. Any who have attended court hear
ings, know that perjury is not an uncom-
mon occurrence and that little is done
to curb what can only be considered
most serious offense.

cAppER TO THE FARMERS

have heard comment that what farmers should
do Is stop trying to produce more efficiently that
they should return to old practices and methods
which will reduce production because they are in
efficient and archaic. l cannot subscribe to that
destructive theory. Something is wrong with any
practice in which the Individual does not devote
the maximum of his ability to doing whatever job
ne has. ~ IS >,.e.'
1t would be infinitely better to leave half of a
field fallow and farm the remainder intensively to
reach a given production in the way of crop,
than it would be to farm the whole field in slip
shod manner and obtain only half the yield Of
which the land was capable under the best manage
ment. The road to success and higher standard
of living and greater leisure, which we all desire,
is to farm intehsively and efficiently every acre
titled but to limit the number of acres titled if
that is necessary to hold production down to the
proper level. If we can raise all the food we need
and what we can proftably export, on from half
to two-thirds of the land under cultivation let
as save ourselves the hard work of tiig the other
third or the remaining half Let us devote the
time saved and the effort thus avoided to other
phases of the farm business, and to educational
and community activities or just to enjoyment, If
