A SHERIFF 0. PARDONS.
Host people In Eastern Oregon, know
Ed. Rand, sheriff of Baker county, and
know be is a tireless worker In his
..., . . Tine. His knowledge of crlmnlals Is
extensive, having been sheriff at the
"gateway" county to Oregon. There
fore his opinion on Governor West'
pardoning of prisoners is worthy of
consideration. Here is what Sheriff
Lawbreakers from all parts of the
United States will flock to Oregon,"
said Sheriff Rand, "as they figure that
they haw? better opportunities for
their work here than in any other
state. The criminal in Oregon has an
advantage that he carfnot get any place
else and that there is the greatest
probability that he will be pardoned,
or that at least executive clniencr
will be extended to him.
"The lawbreakers here consider
three things: First, after committing
a crime they have & chance to make a
giH-away and escape the penalty; 'sec
ond, they have a crack at the courts
and may be able to beat it out there
and gain their freedom; third, If they
are caught and convicted they can go
to the governor and seek a pardon or
parol9 with a good chance of gaining
executive clemency.
"I do not know of another state
where so many criminals have been
turned loose as In Oregon since Gov
ernor West began his policy of prison
reform. Of late I have been spending
criminals from Baker county to thv?
Btate penitentiary, and Ir do not see
where the number of transgressors is
going to be lessened. In my part of
the state the fellows are willing to

Probably no series that has ever

attention this one will, and undoubted

take a bigger chance than evr now
because they believe they can play on
the sympathy of the governor if tfiey
are convicted. Most of them think
they will be put on their honor at out
door work, and as this lessens the se
verity of the punishment, most of them
will take a bigger chance than they
would under the old plan.
"I think the policy of leniency will
make more criminals of the men In the i
Btate, as the penalty has kept many
men from breaking the laws. But now
they figurn that if they are caught
and convicted, they will be given easy
