OHIO REPORTS INCREASE
High Wages and Shortage
Of Labor Is Also
Mentioned
CHICAGO, April 6. Decrease
in the" total population of state
prisons In the middle and south
western states is attributed in
part to prohibition by a number
of state prison authorities. Other
reasons noted Included high
wages and shortage of labor, the
indeterminate sentence and the
merit system. The falling off for
16 states, as noted in reports col
lected here by the Associated
Press, amounted 'on December 1,
1920, to nearly an eighth of the
total on December 1, 1914.
- lo commenting on the de
crease in states where It occurred
more prison officials named pro
hibition than any other single
reason. Several citing industrial
conditions, gave this cause great
er weight than prohibition.
From one of the states that re
ported an increase, Ohfo, the
warden of the state penitentiary
reported he did not believe that
prohibition bad decreased crime.
The decrease in prisoners was
not uniform, but took place in
nine states,, where 'the total de
crease wiped out an increase in
Six states and showed a net de
crease for the entire 16, one re
maining stationary.
New features in the character
of crime and criminals were noted
by several state officials.
"I believe that there has been
a general decrease in the prison
population of the country." said
Henry Town, warden of the Wis
consin state prison at Waupun
"This can be attributed in part
to-'the restricted sale of intoxicat
ing liquor and also to the fact
that labor has been scarce and
high wages have been paid.
"We do not get as many petit
offenders as formerly, but the
crimes committed are of a much
more serious nature. I believe it
is also true that a great many of
these serious crimes are being
commftted and tha offenders are
not being caught. I think you
can sum up the situation by say
ing that petit crime has de
creased and a more serious form
of crime has taken its place and
greatly increased, and that the
percentage of arrests for the
more serious crimes is much less
than the arrests formerly for
petit crimes."
Prohibition was said by Down
er Mullin. secretary of the Min
nesota state, board of control, to
be one of the principal reasons
for the decrease in number of in
mates In the Minnesota state
prison at Stillwater. John T.
Burkett, secretary of the Arkan
Fas penitentiary commission, gave
the passage and enforcement of
prohibition laws credit for the
decrease there in the number of I
state convicts.
Officials of the Kentucky pris
ons, where the greatest drop in
the 16 states was noted, said that
the-decline there was due In large
part to the unprecedented period
of employment and high wages
probablv more than to prohibi
tion. They said they did not ex
pect their prison population to
stav at its low point for long.
In Ohio, Warden Thomas said
that the main reason why the
state penitentiary population had
not decreased in tha last few
years was the Indeterminate sen
tence. It holds prisoners longer,
he said: Another reason given
by Warden Thomas was that Ohio
police were more active than
those in some other states and
were bringing in more criminals.
"The reformer claims it is Dro-
niDition that reduces our prison
pofAulation," wrote J. R. Jordan,
chftf clerk, criming record de
partment, Texas state penitenti
ary. "They alto claim that since
prohibition has been in effect
'crime has decreased fH per cent."
Of course, they do not expect any
one that Is informed to believe
them, but it serves their purpose
to fool the people a part of the
time."
In Missouri. William R. Paint
er, chairman of the state prison
Doard, said that prohibition was
one cause of the decrease. In num
ber of, prisoners and that crime
had diminished noticeably along
with prohibition. Mr. Painter
said that the merit system imder
which prisoners are given a
chance to reduce their sentences
by good behavior, had operated
likewise to cut down the state
prison population.

leges in limitrng the number of
students. , '
''My conception of i the Ijdeal lib
eral arts college is one having a
faculty of 50 and a student body
of not more than ft 00," said
President Murlin. "When the
numbers exceed these tbe organi
zation is too "large, and it would
be better to divide It into units.
Separate colleges ought to be es
tablished, with separate facuMisL
and deans acting independently ot
each other.
"Such a development, which
savors somewhat of; the English
university system, will, in my
opinion, never become widespread
in this country, ihowever, al
though a few American universi
ties are tending toward the Eng
lish tutorial system. ,
"This theory does not apply to
the colleges of commerce or bus
iness administration, which have
different problems i than do thy
liberal arts colleges."
The tendency toward great in
creases in student enrollment Is
practically over, in President
Murlin's opinion. . '
"The interest of tbe college of
ficials will focus on :the entering
class in the fall of 1923," Said
President Murlin. 'jit is doubt
ful if the enrollnTeat will then
show anything but the norma! in
crease. There will iprobably be
a reduction rather Ithan an in
crease in the entering classes all
over the country.
"The abnormal increases in
enrollment during the past three
years nave been due to the delay
f1 I" education of hun
dd!of young. n-hy the war
and the general prosperity. Then,
too. tbe efficiency of the college'
graduate in the war has caused
a widespread appreciation of the
benefits of a college leducation.
-'It is improbable that the
great Increases will be sustained,
f do not anticipate iax large in
creases in the next i three yearrt
is in the last three; The "high
eak of the rush to, the collepes
was reached in the fall of 1919,
and we shall have to wait until
this class rradtiates la. 1923 to s"t
what the normal student enroli-
ments of the colU'M-jr'will be in
the future."'
