CRIME AND PUNISHMENT

A thoughtful contribution to the con-
troversy over capital punishment is fur
nished by Harry Elmer Barnes, sociology
professor of Smith and Amherst colleges,
who AYERS that the taking of human life
as punishment for crime is relic of bar
barism.
Tracing the origin of the death
penalty, Prof. Barnes declares that it arose
through an effort to placate the pagan
gods. Later, death was inflicted through
motives of revenge. More recently, CAPT
tai punishment has been defended on the
ground that it has a deterrent effect upon
other potential murders. All these theories
are dismissed by Prof Barnes as equally
abhorrent Taking what may be called
the advanced view of the causes underlying
human behavior, he says:
1.-THE human animal has his conduct
absolutely determined by the combined in
fluences of heredity and social surround
ings. There is not the slightest iota of
choice allowed to any individual from birth
to the grave. Conduct can be altered only
by altering the organism or by the intro
ductlon OF new or different social in
fluences and forms of stimulation
Without specifically recommending
detailed plan for dealing with the prob
lem, Prof Barnes declares that If crime is
to be eliminated there must be measures
adopted to prevent the birth Of defective
persons, so far as possible. When defec-
tives are born in spite OfSrestfictions i'm
posed, an improvement of the social EN-.
vironment and special education are recon-
mended. He apparently favors the pain
less determination of hopeless types Of
humanity who menace their fellowmen.
Whatever we may think of Prof.
Barnes views as a whole, we must agree
with one of his conclusions, which is that
punishment for crime should be deter
mined by permanent boards of experts, in
stead of being left to juries composed for
the most part Of ignorant and irresponsible
citizens.

QUESTIONS POWER PLAN

Although several cities in the Ten
nessee Valley have signed up for power
under the terms prescribed by the Ten
nessee Valley Authority, some of them are
not very enthusiastic over their contract,
according to the Sheffield Standard, pub
lished in the Muscle Shoals area.
I'm a weil-considered editorial on the
subject in which the objections to the
Authorty's plan are set forth, the Stand
ard says:
Well-informcd business men doubt
the practicability of the plans adopted by
the Tennessee Valley Authority for the re-
sale of hydro-electrical energy generated
at Wilson Dam. 1t is known fact that
city officials of the three cities in the
Muscle Shoals district are not at all jubi-
liant over the contracts they have made
with the IVA"
One of the principal objections to the
iva contract is that it establishes the
rates at which cities must resell the power
bought from the government. These re-
sale rates are such as to make it impossible
for the cities to break even on their power
operations, according to competent en-
gineers. Another objection is .s.that the
iva rates are such as to virtually. pre-
clude the possibility of industrial develop
ment in the area it is to serve.
The Tennessee Valley experiment will
be watched with interest by the country at
large. and many thoughtful citizens freely
predict that under the present set-up it
may prove sadly disappointing.

HOW TO INCREASE CIRCULATION

The editor in one of our neighbOring
towns quite unintentionally hit upon a
novel scheme 10 increase circulation. He
placed the following paragraph on the
front page of his weekly anesthetic:
while returning TO our residence
late one night last week, we noticed GER
tain well-known citizen leaving the house
of socially prominent lady whose hus-
band happened to be out of town. He was
