A there arc a Good Many things that contribute to the present crime wave a or. Owens said a but to my i mind As great a Factor As any is Tho j Lack of punishment of criminals. No sooner is a Man convicted of a Crijnen and sent to the state Penitentiary j than a movement is started to either j get him pardoned or paroled after serving a portion of his time. Evil natural tendency a there is no question but that fear of punishment is the one thing which keeps people from committing crime. The natural tendency of everybody is to do wrong the child in infancy must be continually corrected and punished for disobedience. When the sure possibility of punishment is removed it is certain to increase crime. A when officers Start out to enforce the Law they know the Law violators Are against them. The Good citizens should All be for the officers but i Are they i should say not. They j Are tickled to death if an officer Over j Steps his authority and gets into some i place where a crime is being commit j Ted without tile propose search warrant ail made out and signed and i without a single flaw in it. A another thing a Good citizen will often be an Eye witness to a crime but will he Volunteer his testimony to help convict a of to he says. This does no to concern me. I Haven t been injured so it s none of my a j tone striking example several incident concerning a enforcement in Mitchell were then recalled by or. Owens.

Mitchell has an Industry which is the largest of its kind in the world. A kiwanis reporter discovered this Industry himself. It is no More or less than the Mitchell Stock Yards and the statement that they Are the largest Yards of their kind in the world is made advisedly. The Only condition thrown around the statement is that Mitchell has no packing industries. Therefore the Mitchell Stock Yards Are the largest Stock Yards in the world located in a City without packing plants. Here is what the kiwanis reporter Lea riled the Mitchell Stock Yards Are located at the extreme East Side of the City limits on the Chicago Milwaukee and St. Paul Railroad consisting of Twenty acres of land with cattle Yards Large enough to handle thirty car loads of cattle and hog barn 76x600 feet that will Yard fifty car loads of hogs at one Wiilie.
