id . TfiW Ntw Osj5fiON Statesman. 51ftrnro'ftTi- Wflrtjn1tu Afnrnina' January SS, 1929 - V --- V " '" ' t PkROLE theory OUTLINE GIVEN nchabilitation of Cnminal Practical, Says Woman - r Member of Board The theory that lies behind the Oregon . parole law," formed the basis for the talk that Beatrice - Walton. secretary to Governor Patterson and member of the state parole boar, made before the res;, alar Business and Professional Women's clnb at a dinner given at the Gray Belle Tuesday night. la prefacing her subject Miss Walton "i expressed her conviction that -ire greatly need an intelll- cent interest in and an under. standing of governmental actions," and that progress in democratic Institutions must come thrdugb strong public opinion, therefore, bo felt that a better unaerstana . ins at the narole law and the du ties of the parole board would be of great benefit especially in tnose sections where adverse criticism is nrone to exist. -We try to get at the root of .ta in economic life and are now making some definite effort ..'tn" set -at 'the root of waste in school life, but we are almost en tirely overlooking the 13 billion dollar waste that is our yearly Mil." she declared. In order to get at the bottom of this waste people should be interested in iuc and prevention of crime , rather than the punishment, for sit. nnnishment is funda mentally for one purpose only, and that is for protection of so ciety. Severity Ineffective - It would seem, said Miss Wal ton, that it is questionable If Ity is the" best method to save this great wastage caused by the crim- '- inal class or society, one -out that people have In the past wn boiled in oil. flayed to death. - and otherwise brutallv punished bnt still there Is a 13 billion dol lar crime bill. It would seem that tk. .rv for loncer terms, severer sentences, and rougher treatment U sot the practical memoa iu cuu tror this class of people. x That the parole law is mere "mollycoddling" oi criminals disproved by Miss Walton. The narole law has nothing to do with hardened criminals, nor wnU "j nrmt offence which is committed with crime or violence. The re peater has no cnance unaer i parole plan. Only those first of- fenders whose offenses are of the milder kind may be given the ben efit of this law. Miss Walton point ad out that with this class of crim inal, a first offender for a crime without the element of violence, could at the end of a year of the best conduct be given a parole un der strict supervision and in the social environment determined by the board to be best fitted for the recovery of a clean Boctal attitude. Supervise Return Jn the long run most criminals return to society. What the parole board does it to supervise the criminal in the environment of so ciety while he serves the remaind er of his term and makes his so cial adjustments after serving that portion of his time established by law as necessary. In the case of a three jeer, sentence the criminal could," with excellent conduct, be paroled at the end of a year to serve the other two years in civil ian M'e under supervision and as sistance of the parole board. Before recommending to the governor the parole board takes Uto account the criminal's prison record, and his early history such aa his home and education. Many r times they find broken home con ditions and the education to be something near third grade. The board considers the prison record of the criminal as shown by re ports of the officers who have had the best opportunity to observe him. and lastly the criminal must have a job to which he can go im mediately upon leaving the pen itentiary. The parole board may even stipulate the environment in to which the criminal must place himself. j Few Are Violated Miss Walton stated that in 1928 there were 121 s paroles granted with nine out of this lot broken; that these persons had earned $1.- 14 T daring the year in civilian me nd had saved the state in food Wd lodging 150,000. Paroles have absolutely no con nections with pardons. Miss wai ts pointed out. The pardon lies ' fa the hands of the governor to be seed only to rectify errors ox jus tice. A parole is simply an oppor tunity for the criminal to restore himself to society while living- in the bast and most natural way possible under the rigid supervi. elo ef the parole board. " : Supervision and assistance in restoring a criminal to the role of good citizenship are tne strong points In favor of the parole law at pointed out by Miss Walton. Our of 48 states, it stated, there are only two which do not have ' some form of parole law.

Referring to surplus power. Justice McBride said: "The question of surplus power or energy cuts no figure. It seem most probable that tne auegea 'surplus' Is simply electric energy created for the very purpose ior which it is being used, namely, for the sale for profit, and to in crease the funds of the city treas ury. "That this may be a special ben efit to the taxpayers of McMinn ills, tend to reduce rates for lizht and Dower to its citizens, and increase its sinking fund, is probable. But, if the business is :onducted for 'profit,' the law al lows" the city to so conduct u That such a course will be regret ted, and is in the long run bad economic trailer, is in the opinion of the writer, speaking for him self and not for the court, inevi table. But we are not here to de cide this case upon our private views of economics but upon the law as It Is written." In another opinion the supreme court affirmed the decree of the circuit court for Clatsop county In the case of George F. Hannula, who Is under life sentence for the murder of his wife.

Under the picture study plan, each school room will be provided with jl large picture each month, the children to purchase small copies of same. Each grade will study a different picture, but all pupils of each grade will study the same picture. Total cost of the large picture for each school room to the district, will be 1164.30 per year. Other matters presented before the board Tuesday night Included Trial use of the portable school on the Washington school grounds was granted to a local Boy Scout troop, with Superintendent George JT.

Superintendent Hug told the board satisfactory arrangements had been made for attendants at Ollnger field. He also reported that 2(54.10 had been received from the county fund as the dis trict's allowance for library books on the 10 cents per capita tax.

Bull Run water Is still being furnished in some of the coolers at the eapitol, while McMlnnvllle wa ter Is placed in others. So far, nobody had volunteered to differ entlate between the two supplies by a "blindfold test." Representative Barnet H. Gold stein as a revealer of legislative jhistory, appears to be a disciple of Fish legislation swam to the fore In the legislature Tuesday. A delegation or Oregon City fishermen furnished the foremost development of the . day by prom ising Governor Patterson that Il legal fishing In the Clackamas and Willamette rivers, now com mercially closed, would be halted if the streams were opened from November 16 -to April 1. i Steelheads are regarded as game fish In the Rogue.. Nestuc ca, Willamette, Clackamas, Ne canicum and Wahana. Sportsmen want included the waters of New river, Pistol river, Sixes, Chetco and a couple of other small streams in Coos and Curry coun ties. Sportsmen Opposed Arrayed against the sportsmen are the commercial fishermen. who want to re-open the Willam ette, Clackamas and Neetucca riv ers, the latter closed by vote of the people. Also the fishermen want to change the open season in several commercial streams, in cluding the home of the royal chlnook salmon, the Columbia river. Representative Lockwood has favored a measure declaring the steelhead a game fish in all wat ers. No bill to this effect has yet been offered, but It would be un satisfactory on the Umpq.ua to commercial fishermen, who now catch steelheads In the lower reaches around Reedsport and Gardiner. Senator Eddy sent tor Hugh Mitchell, of the fish depart ment, for a consultation today to talk over the changing of dates for the opening season. Governor Interviewed Charles Gates, Herbert Douthlt, Matt Story and George Brown of Oregon City, held the conference with the governor and later with LState Game Warden Clifford and Senator Jones and Representative Andrews.
