Instead of spending half million dollars on two new wings for the Oregon insane asylums, the insane laws of this state should be reformed. There should be more rigid regulations croverning commitments, which are made altogether too easy and the asylums are filled with victims of drug habits and old people who never were insane, As in other states cases of mere senility and harmless incurables should be returned to their families or the county infirm aries. The present system ac cumulates opiates, morphiates and inebriates, and hundreds of natients who never were insane, to spend the rest of their natural lives as wards of tho state insane asylum. The tax pavers are burdened unneces sarilv and Oretron gets the un deserved reputation of having more insane per capita than it shoud. Industrial News uu reau.
