Bits for Breakfast
By R. J. HENDRICKS
Every sentence should
be an indeterminate one:
K m
Under the heading, "Two Tears
This Time," a leading editorial
In the Poortland Oregonian of
Sunday last read:
This was a dozen or - more
years ago, in the court? or tne
presiding Judge ot ( the ..circuit
court of Multnomah county. Two
men who had pleaded guilty to
criminal charges appeared for
sentence. The first was a house
burglar, known as 'Jimmy the'
Flea'; the second bad committed;
a serious statutory offense.
"wnen It was over with, Jim
my tha Flea turned to a newspa
per reporter who was seated be
hind him. . .
"'Can yon beat that!, he ejac
ulated. 'Me, an honest; aecond
storx man, gets seven years, and,
that mug who assaulted his own!
sister gets three. -
"We recount tha Incident
merely to bring out that a chief
cause ot bitterness among tha
men In the prisons of America
probably 'the chief cause of bit
terness Is tha Inequality of
Judgment, So much depends
upon tha prejudices of tha Judge,
his digestion and the state of
mind of the community. Men of
practically identical records, con
victed on identical counts, occupy
adjoining calls; yet one Is under
sentence to eight years and one
to eighteen months.
We notice that Edward R. Den
ny, found guilty by a lory, in
Circuit Judge Stapleton's court of
violation of the criminal syndi
calism law, has been sentenced
by' Judge Stapleton to two years
in the penitentiary. It is a bad
las', aa has been Insisted In these
columns;, bnt as long as the law
stands, two. years Is a reasonable
sentence. However. Denny win
"be la tha same prison with Dirk
DeJonge, who was convicted a
tew weeks ago in another Mult
nomah court, and who was sen
tenced to seven years. That sit
uation will not tend to impress
the prisoners with the. , dignity
and area temper ot the law." .
a a ;
Tha time will come when there
will be no two seven year terms,
and no two or three year terms.
Aa eeate&ces to prison will, be
Indeterminate. V
They will depend upon the ear
ly or late rehabilitation - ot the
prisoners,, with places in society
where they may lead self sup
porting and orderly lives.
W.
There is no rule ot reason that
justifies the present system.
v.- .' V "a , .
convicted onenders are sen-
teaced tor definite terms of years,
because this Is the way it has al
ways been done. -
There was an old doctor. - In
the days before -medical schools.
who knew how to cure tits. He
did not know .how to sure any
thing else. . So it was his prac
tice to throw his patlenta into
Qts-and then cure the fits.
v -V. - , . .
Tha system of term sentences
la as wrong aa was the method of
tha Tits doctor;
,Vva;j,ai A . -
' The term system is as reason
able a it would be for a physi
cian to have only one kind of
pills for all patients.

Under the original bill ot
rights of the Oregon constitu
tion, there is no excuse for-confining
a convicted person In pris
on excepting - to reform him.
v But we have not yet begun to
obey the' constitution., Par fore

ment, nearly 78 years ago, were

tutlonal provision, a man sent to
prison should stay there until he
is reformed, and not a day longer
-and not a day shorter. '
Why second, third, fourth and
other terms, with all the attend
ant expenses?
And why keep a man In pris
on wnen it- would ne better tor
both the man and for society to
allow him to go free and make
his own way?

A man came from Lake county

Letters from
Statesman Readers :
TOWNSEND COW VERSUS
HESS COW .
Editor Statesman:
In The Statesman of Feb. S,
Mr. Hess contributes what I pre
sume he thinks la the latest word
on the Townsend plan, but like
all other writings offered by the
opponents of the plan, he has pre
sented no plausable argument
against it, for it can -readily be
seen by anyone who has studied
the plan through, that ha '- does
not understand - the fundamental
principles of it, the main feature
of -which la "RECOVERY!"
It he does understand it I fall
to nee the comparison In his "hy
perbole." (Webster says, "hyper
bole la a figure $f speech which
expresses more or less, .than the
truth." In this case it is less.) j
Now there are four; classes
against tha Townsend plan, who
by the way represent about 12,-
000,009 voters oat of approxi
mately 2.000,000 in t the U. &
Eighty-fire per cent of these op
ponents are classed! as being
against It because of being ig
norant of the proposed working
of the plan. Five per cent oppose
It through pure selfishness, tear
ing they win have to help pay
for something they think they will
not derive a benefit from. Tet
they are. paying or will have to
pay, more than double tor re
lief, crime, poor farms, old peo
ple's hone8r etc.; than they would
hare to with the Townsend plan
in operation. -; . . ' . l
- Then there are five . per cent
who oppose, it because ot the dic
tation of their employers. Then
Ltive per cent are opposing It be
cause of ignorance and selfishness
combined. :
' I will leave it to the readers
of Ur. Hess article to decide
Just which group be stands with.
But now, back to his old cow,
which he has proven was NOT A
TOWNSEND COW AT ALL! but
must have been a II ess cow, for
I have seen a number of cows
that milked themselves day after
day, and" they always took food
between times,' quite normally. -
I was raised on a farm until I
was 20 years ot age, and I found
that when a cow done her own
milking ; she helped others too.
So also the -Townsend plan will
help others, Let us sea. -,
No cow that X ever witnessed
milk herself managed to get all
the milk down her throat, and
as It dribbles down the outside
of her Jaws, (as the story goes)
along comes Mr. Little Pigs and
finds It, - - -
in tne course of t s summer
they became fine and fat. and
finally thel? owner sold them and

"Yes, and you'd have earned still

"They applauded the dance I" - --"Ther

"Mark," said Vanya, stopping
and facing him, "de you have to

of tormentinc me? I lore dancing:
it's the one bright spot in this dis
mal livelihood learn; Do you have
to spoil it for me?"

feeling really contrite. "I was echo-

Drefer him ' not to discuss me!
There's no one in Tonga who'd give
you a more prejudiced opinion."
"And yet observed Mark, "his
onlnion of you is rather higher than
you seem to believe. He has said
many things Vd interpret as com
pliments."
r "I dont want his compliments."
- "Dor you know," asked Mark,
"that you're very pretty when you
flare un like thatf
"la that the reason yon persist
in those hateful attempts to anger
me?" . "
"I wonder," he replied. "You
haven't flared wholeheartedly for a

answered.
Vanya turned quickly away, gaz
ing with averted face at the wall
of Jungle that grew quite close to
the beach. She took a few steps
along the sand.
. "Let s walk." she said.
Mark followed her. She looked,
he thought, adorable in the white
breeched outfit; her jet black hair
curled in wisps under the brim of
her sun-helmet, seeming even
blacker than usual in the brilliant
equatorial daylight.
. "Despite Lbring." he said as he
swung beside her, "you'd have an
easy career on the American stage.
You're beautiful."
"I thought you said Loring com
plimented me... Vanya said flushing.
."It was a compliment. He said
your features were toe fine, too
small and delicate, to appear to ad

"And you think they're coarse

"No," laughed Mark. "Not the

wouldn't know, of course, that those
are tha names of two of the famous
musical revues. . Their choruses
happen to be famous for beauty,
so it ie quite an honor my opin
ion." :
"Ohl" said Vanya, walking stead
ily on.
"Good Lord!" said Mark. "Don't

Hasn't anybody ever made that re

feed the Townsend cow on, for.
had aha not produced the wherewith-all
to bring them to a con
dition so he could make money
on them? and he must keep this
business revolving.
Next he bought some food and
clothing for some of the hungry
and unfortunate children, 16,000
of whom go to bed under-nouiv
ished, in the city ot Portland,
every night. Yes and I would not
forget to mention the condition
In Salem. But you know, "dis
tance lends enchantment," and
while we hear of such things far
ther away . we have them here
also, and, this condition will be
with us. until the Townsend plan
becomes a law."
Then the grocer ot whom the
farmer bought the food, being a
Townsend" supporter, thought he
would do a good deed by paying
some rent, past due. to the owner
of the little store building he was
occupying, who happened to be
a 'widow, 'and she in turn took
the money and bought some much
needed' clothing and other neces
sities.
The clothier 'now finding his
business increasing so much, since
many now had a Townsend cow,
thought that it was necessary' to
hire a cleric ' -
Now it happened this clerk had?
been hunting for work for months
and just at this time was seri
ously contemplating breaking into
a store to get food for his wife
and. little- ones, as no work was
to be found prior to the time the
Townsend cow began to produce.
-' But the Townsend recovery
plan saved him . from- becoming
a criminal. Just as It will thou
sands ot others. ,
So tha dollars circulated on and
on until it was turned over , ten
or fifteen, times during the month,
and each time It changed hands
there was an Insignificant two per
cent commodity sales tax taken
from It to buy food for the Town-
send cow so she would produce
the Mr." Little Pig's ; feed, (tha
revolving pension money) to
bring back prosperity.' .
And no one missed the small
tax because they now had jobs
instead of Idleness, yes' $100.00
per' month- for their work, the
tax paid and 9 8.00 left, instead
of no work and no money. O, yea
tney even got out the old fliv
ver and bought a license for it,
and had money to buy gas. and
don't forget, they pay a THIRTY
PER CENT TAX when they buy
It too.' . ' . . v
