PENITENTIARY
MANAGEMENT
IS IMPORTANT
Candidate for Governor Gives
Views Regarding Improve
ment of Conditions.
Th Question of th management of
tha ut penitentiary U an import
ant one to the people of Oregon, and
reasonable methods for the improve
ment of conditions are being sought.
Senator I. L. Patterson, candidate for
tht republican nomination for gov
ernor, aroused some interest in the
situation when he touched on sonv
of his ideas, and since then he hi.
been asked to go futher into the mat
ter. In the following interview will be
found Senator Patterson's statements
on penitentiary management and par
dons: "In announcing my candidacy for
governor under date of October 22nd
I stated that I favored placing the
penitentiary under the Board of Con
trol giving my reasons therefor.
Since then so many enquiries have
come to me asking just what I favor
ed for a betterment of the institu
tion that I desire tc supplement that
statement by saying that whea' the
Bays Training School, now being con
structed, near Woodburn, is finished
and the old school at Salem vacated,
that the latter should be used for
first time offenders sentenced to the
penitentiary. Practically all of these
will ' be young men committed for
their first offense against the law.
"The penitentiary is now so crowd
ed that the prisoners cannot be prop
ery segregated and as a result these
first offenders are in daily contact
with hardened criminals; in fact, it
might be called a school for vice and
crime.
The use of these' buildings is the
only way in sight for the segregation
of prisoners in the near future. There
is at the present training school suf
ficient farm lands to furnish employ
ment to the inmates. It should come
under the supervision of the Warden
and by the appointment to conduct
the institution of high minded offi
cials, who are interested in human
welfare, and whose standards of mor
als are such that they would be daily
examples to these unfortunate young
men.
"I believe a large per cent of the
inmates could be reformed and be
come useful, law abiding citizens. As
I see it this could be done without in
creasing the per capita cost of the in
stitution. As a matter of fact, this
cost can be, and must be, reduced.
It is unreasonable and idle talk to say
that it cannot be done. With the land
used by the institution it should pro
duce all the vegetables, fruits, poul
ty, pork, etc., for its own use witn
able bodied inmates in numbers suf
ficient to perform the necessary la
bor. "The abuse of the pardoning power,
in this state, has been one of the
greatest obstacles to the proper en
forcement of our laws. Records show
that the "life termer" in Oregon
serves only eight years of his sentence
on tha average.
"Under our legal procedure, it rare
ly happens that an innocent peison is
convicted of a crime. Where a peson
is charged with a felony, the case
against him is presented to a grand
jury and if five of the seven members
of that body believe he is guilty, an
indictment is returned agninst him.

'The defendant is thea tried in the '
Circuit Court before a jury of his ;
peers, and unless all twelve of xhe ;
jurymen believe beyond a reasonable ;
doubt in fcia guilt, he is acquitted. If
convicted, an appeal may be taken to
the Supreme Court, where the proof
is considered, and weighed and im
partial decision reached.
"The right and privilege of having
the truth -of the evidence for and
against him determined by two juries
and two courts, is vested in all per
sons charged with tht commission of
crime. The witnesses and counsel for
the defendants are provided at public
expense, if desired.
"There will be greater respect for
our laws and they will be easier and
better enforced nen the too frequent
pardoning of criminals ceases.
"It seems to me that pardons should
not be issued unless new evidence
shall be discovered after the trial,
sufficient in the judgment of the trial
judge or the prosecuting attorney to
have changed the verdict; or upon the
recommendation of the trial judge or
prosecuting attorney, who certainly
should be consulted when pardons are
considered."

FARM POINTERS.
Immediate removal of bees in Ore
gon from one locality to another is
advised by H. A. Scullcn, bee special
ist of the experiment station. Other
wise removal should be postponed un
til spring. It is best that the bees
are not disturbed during the cold
winter season. Bee hiveax are pack
ed now before cold weather comes,
if they are not already taken care of.
Protection of birds is necessary at
all times, say the entomologists of
the Oregon experiment station. Birdj
are important as insects destoyers as
well as attractive in song and color.
Feeding boxes may be placed where
they are out of Teach of cats. Suet
tied to the branches attract several
species.
Bean and pea weevil can be eon
trolled in Oregon by fumigating the
seed with carbon bisulphide before
putting into permanent storage, says
Don C. Mote, entomologist of the ex
periment station. Materials held over
winter but not for seed may be put
in the oven and heated for an hour
at a temperature below that of boil
ing water. If the weevils are not
killed in the fall or early spring they
fly to he beans and peas in the field
and lay their eggs on the gre&n pods
in the eary summer.
In fattening Oregon lambs for the
early spring market the standard
practice of feeding one pound of grain
a day per lamb is better than either
more or less, and recommended for
continued practice, in the report of
feeding tests at the Umatilla branch
experiment station. The grain ra
tions are -to be started approximately
75 days before marketing time unless
the lambs are unusually small, when
the period may be 90 to 100 days be
fore. Or if the lambs are already in
good condition the length of grain
feeding may be reduced to 60 days.
