FOUR ESCAPED
CONVICTS ARE
BEHIND LOCKS
ing. Mr. Logan declare the Oregon
prison is the most antiquated one on
the Pacific coast and the only atate
institution that has not bad state aid
in many years.
"As far as general conditions are
concerned," says Mr. Logan, "the
state penitentiary scarcely has been
changed since 1871. The buildings
are jotten, and I hope tbe people of
the state will soon realize this.
"It has been proved by experience
that labor outside the prison Is too
expensive. Work on roads Is not prac-
Itlcable for overhead expenses are too
great, and road work Is possible only
at certain times of the year. Tork
tha entire year is necessary for the
prisoners and Inside industries would
provide this. In California, for ex
ample', the convicts make furniture
for the state Institutions and gthey .
are kept busy at it.
"The throwing together of young
offenders and hardened criminals re
sults in a great evil, for men who
have committed one offense are sent
to the state prison and frequently are
criminals of the worst type when,
tbey come out.
"The Improvements I have men
tioned would cost something, of
course, but in the long run they would
save money to the people and from a
humanitarian point of view would re
sult in much good to the prisoners."
