INDIAN SCHOOL PRAISED
OFFICIAL VISIT PAID DY MICH
IGAN CONGRESSMAN
Hard labor sentences for all
those convicted of driving whlla
intoxicated Is advocated by Alder
men Hal Patton and Paal John
son, and to show that they are
firmly convinced that hard labor
Is the antidote to the access of
drunken drivers, they will Intro
duce an amendment at the next
meeting of the council to the ordi
nance passed Monday night by the
council providing for mora string
ent punishment for 'Intoxicate!
drivers. The purpose of the am
endment will be to make hard la
bor compulsory In all Jail sen
tences Imposed for the offense.
Mayor Glesy, when asked it he
would favor the amendment of the
ordinance which was originally la- -
troduced by him, declared:
I will favor any action that
will give intoxicated drivers the
limit," The mayor declared that
he has a love for humanity, but
that the thought of drunken driv
ers running loose and endangering
the lives of others Is one he can
not tolerate.
It was held at the council meet
ing that the city recorder has pow
er to add hard labor to Jail sen
tences at his discretion, but up to
the present time no hard labor
has been imposed in any case by
Judge Poulaen. When asked if he
had the power, Jud.e Poulsen
stated that he did not know
bet her the old ordinance giving
him the power Is still valid or not.
The ordinance was enacted it
1889, and provides that the Judgt
may Impose hard labor "on ssj
male person submitted to the c'tj
Jail" in default of payment of free
at the rate of 32 a day. Chru
Kowits. elty attorney, declare? -
that the ordinance is still valid,
and states further that proviilcm
is made in the city charter for
power for the city recorder to Ira-,
pose hard labor along with any
jau sentence given to msie per
sons. Judge Poulsen claims that It
would not he practicable to work
the city prisoners, giving as his
reason that there are never a suf
ficient number of them oa hand
to psy to work out. He claims
I V A WmAa Wa A Va .1...
an additional meal, which would
add a cost of 25 cents a day per
man. and that a warden would
have to be paid to watch the men.
Taklug these things Into consider- :
ation. he claims that the city
would have to have seven men
working at once in order to make
it a paying proposition.'
As for the new ord insure that
provides for more stringent pen
alties In esses of driving while
drunk. Judge Poulsen said It was
his opinion that the more severe
the penalty is made the harder it
is to get convictions. Bat Indi
cations are that a stiff penalty has
ta effect, as the city recorder aays
that the police of Saltm have
never had a repeat case of a
drunken driver."
Incidentally, the new ordinance.
which provides for a- fine of not
less than 8100 nor more than
8500. and a Jail sentenca of net
less than 80 days nor more than
six months for all persons convict
ed of driving while Intoxicated,
went Into effect Tuesday, ax it was
an emergency measure.
The new ordinance follows
closely the state law for the same
offense. Judge Poulsen declares
that during the last slg Doatti
there have been more cases of in
toxicated drivers in Salem than tn
any other town in Oregon with
the possible exception of Portland.
Expressing great satisfaction
with conditions at the Chamawa
Indian school, Hon. L. C. Cramp-
