PUBLIC CONFESSION OF FAILURE
r K( 'LA l IX(j (hilt inmates
-J llic vci'fi'c of mutiny and
and liimislini"; inmates is
combe introduced a resolution
oi control .Monday asKing
point a non-salaried commission ol three citizens ol tin
state to make a tliorough survey of the prison and report
its I Hidings and recommendations.
The governor further stated t hat old-time punishments
are iiillicted and llie whole
wit li modern civilization.
This is an astounding admission of failure, inefficiency
and inconipeteiicv on the pari of the governor. A few
short, years ago Oregon led
ii ie . ,, i
ami governor est auaineu
prison reforms.
"When Oovernor "Witliycomhe took office, the old-style
punishments were not in effect. The prisoners were not
on the verge of mutiny. The system was as near in har
mony wilh modern civilization as the restrictions and han
dicaps imposed hy a hostile legislature permitted.
lint (iovernor Withyconihe changed all this, (iovernor
W'itliyconihe pronounced the humanitarian efforts of his
predecessor "silly sentimentality." lie aholished the
honor system. Jle restored the system of espionage and
armed guards and cruel punishments, lie stopped the
road work and hrickmaking and other healthful occupa
tions that, the iiigenuitv of West had provided, lie re-es
tablished the regime of brutality and idleness, developing
the latent ugliness ol convicts.
All the reforms that West had laboriously devised and
installed during his four years of office were ruthlessly
brushed aside and discarded, despite their merit, by (lov
eernor Withycombe. The harvest reaped is shown by in
creased lirison exnenses. multinlied escapes, incendiarv
fires and threatened mutiny.
The governor does not need the report of any non-partisan
board to tell him what to do. lie has merely to carry
to perfection the constructive reform policies inaugurated
by his predecessor, which he abolished, as a partisan polit
ical play. There is no better authority on prisons than Os
wald West, none better acquainted wit h the prison svstems
ol other states and the needs ol the Oregon prison, no one
more successful in handling the flotsam and .jetsam of
humanity that society bulges behind prison walls.
When West was governor his every reform was be
littled and decried by the Portland Oregonian. and the
clique of partisan papers that echo its lead. "Whenever an
honor man failed to keep faith the event was blamed on
West. "Whenever a convict escaped, a great to-do was
made and Wes't s reforms declared a failure. AVhen land
and fluids ran short, West had the convicts make brick,
which lie sold to buy more land for the prison farm and
brickyard and his reward was a personal suit for dam
ages for exceeding his authority.
(Iovernor Withycombe lias not been handicapped au.
West was. lie has had the loyal support of the legisla
ture, the slate board of control and the maioritv of the
stale press. Prison records of
lor st udy. .lit; could have loi inulated a, modern policy and
enforced it without opposition. I tit he made prison con
trol political spoils and blindlv restored the old senseless
regime of brutality.
Why should the convicts lie kept in idleness, wit!)
abundant field for labor on every side? West had a law
passed authorizing the use of convicts on highways. Why
are they not thus employed, as they are in California and
other states which followed Oregon's lead? There are
countless opportunities to give the prisoners useful labor
which are all passed by.
Coining after the -"(),( )()() fizzle of the governor's flax
experiment, the ipiery naturally raises, lias (iovernor
Wilhyconibe no initiative, no creative force, no executive
ability, llial he publicly confesses failure and seeks en
lightenment ! Are not his own blunders and the more or
less successful efforts of predecessors guide posts to del in
ile policy? Opport unity exists why is it iriit grasped?
Why ask others to solve problems it is the execut ii,'s
province to master ?
l'x'ing governor involves other qualifications thai;
spoilsiiiauship. something besides skipping spectaciilat lv
about the state glad handing gatherings and hot-airing
farmers on hogs and hominy. It requires pat ient attention
to details and masterly grasp of situations to properly ad-
ster the at lairs ol a great
