A recent Salem news special says
that In carrying out the policy an
nounced by the state board that no de
ftciences will be allowed at the state
institutions, Governor West will In
augurate one of the most drastic
moves ever attempted In the state in
connection with the state penitentiary,
and will prevent deficiencies at that
institution by a liberal use of tha
pardoning power.
At present the prison is filled to
overflowing, there bins 475 Inmates
During the last two or three months
there has been an unpreced.nted in
crease which has filled every available
space.

est In the history of the stats up to
that time. Under the present condi- j
tions, which have arisen sines the leg
islative session, there are 475, creat

away In the fourth tier, high above

foul air arising from the tiers under

extra cells that have . never before

Superintendent Janus recommend
ed to the legislature that 48 new cells
be installed and that a maintenance
appropriation be given the prison, this
being on a basis or 450 prisoners.
The l'.gislature reduced this figure
arbitrarily to $142,000, and as a result
the conditions are such that the ap
propriation will not be sufficient to
cover the needs of the prison.

He sees only one method for rem
edying the conditions that is to keep
the number of prisoners down to a
basis where the $142,000 will provide
-iTty of food, plenty of clothing and
pleny of sustenance for inmates at
the penitentiary. There is a single
way In which this can be accompllsh
d, and that is by frequent and whole
ale pardons, when this is considered
necessity by the executive, and this
lan will be followed.
