Editor Tribune: I would like to agree with A D Ad ams when he suggests that we should rely on modern in dealing enlightenment with modern affairs rather than on the Bible Scripture can be quoted to support both sides- of almost any Several readers question have quoted scripture to both support and condemn capital punishment We might begin with modern enlightenment by dispelling the myth that capital punishment acts as a deterrent of crime Studies have shown that states which have eliminated capital punish ment have lower murder rates than those retaining it Maine and Rhode Island have a lower murder rate than does New England as a whole Michigan and Wisconsin fare better than the East North Central States generally and Minnesota and North Dakota are well below the average for the West North Central states In striking contrast the states with the largest number of executions continue to be a f Meted with a dhsproportionately large share of the murders Dr William F Graves of California made a study of homicides and executions in counties three California over a 10year period and found that there was an inordinately high number of murders every day an execution took place Could it be that capital punishment diminishes respect for human life and glorifies the killer and his deed thus breaking down the barriers to murder? In the light of these and other findings where is the logic in commIting murder to do away with murder?

This abysmal record on English composition at Iowa State University probably is duplicated at most other public Institutions and many of the private ones as well The colleges and universities frequently complain about deficiencies of the students they receive as fresh- They blame the high schools for inadequate of these students No doubt these complaints are no But the colleges have to assume the blame themselves own seniors who cannot express themselves adequately in the English language :::: - - The PublicForum Editor Tribune: Also Wondering (Forum June 7) his letter by saying "To the student of scripture what the future holds for us Is an open book" I don't feel that it is necessary to read scripture to know what the future holds for us provided leaders of democratic countries continue blundering The Marxist system will prevail throughout the world - When Lenin and Trotsky took over in Russia Winston Churchill and certain others suggested that communism be crushed at its very inception As a matter of fact allied armies were sent to Russia but were withdrawn before the job was completed This was our first great failure When Hitler attacked Russia in the summer of 1941 instead of permitting these two ogres to knock each other out our government rushed to the aid of Soviet Russia enabling her to emerge from World War II a powerful nation instead of a cripple Add our concessions at Tehran and Yalta etc to the above and you can see why we are in our present critical situation A few more blunders of this kind and we'll all be behind the Communist eight ball and scriptural reading should not be necessary to reveal it HUGH HORSLEY American Falls Idaho I ' r 4 Our Blunders - -1- t N i 0 he 4 IP blissItt AG e- - William ! - - i ' i s) - - tN - qv- : ""'"7-:- -- N ' - s--- s I t'' 5 :t TRIV-- v I i f sf4'7 ) t $ s k f 2- ' NsNtt - It 0 -- -- - e ' - 3 11 11113 lh - ' -- ----1 ' A ‘ e -- '' -- '°) !: 1 '' A c-- — - op 4 f'it' it' ''' ° 9 0 1' ' N Ili i' - -- - ' ia''l - ' i 41 1 1 - - it ' ' -- 1 ' '' V '' : - - Private citizens who yearn for a swimming pool In the back yard but find the contractors' estimates beyond their pock etbook may'sympathize with United States senators Plans are being advanced for providing the senators with a new pool for relaxation and exercise The members of the great "deliberative body" have their own private pool but they are likely to find it crowded even if only a small proportion take the plunge The old pool is only 8 11 in grin Pent4sco Chronicle What lies below the horizon? -- ity of the courts Respect for law is fundamental to the effective functioning of our American system—government based on law Anything that adds to the dignity of the court should add to the public's respect for the court and for the law Burr television's famed Raymond Perry Mason told the Utah State Bar which met in Salt Lake City at the same time as the district judges there is real need for improving the status of traffic He pointed out that these are the only courts with which 85 per cent of Americans ever come in contact It Is here they get their sole impression of American justice OF PARTICULAR Importance in this of the peace courts respect are where so many of our traffic as well as other minor issues involving the law are handle'd The justices of course can't wear robes And create the same aura of judicial dignity as the district judges But the justices can act and look their responsible roles ' fr:W - ?
