AUGUST 20, 1926 THE PRISON OUTBREAK Parsimonious legislators who wanted to make false records for economy are in a large measure responsible for the recent state' prison outbreak which snuffed out the lives of two guards and brought a tragic but de sirable end to the criminal career of one "Oregon" Jones, notorious outlaw. The present state prison was built more than 50 years ago. It is antiquated and out of date. It is nothing more than a tottering shell, from which more escapes as dangerous to society as the one iast week, can easily be made by desperate and determined convicts. On many occasions efforts have been made to pro cure appropriations from the legislature for the con struction of a new state prison. But the lawmakers, as is their biennial wont, seek to make a showing with ihe folks back home. The old hue and cry of political demagoguery economy is raised from beneath the state house dome.

WASHINGTONpn LETTEB.r'"sS; Uy CHARLES P. STEWART NBA Service Writer WASHINGTON. Aug. 20. The American Federation ot Labor al ready has its program for the next sesBion of Congress very delinitely worked out. It knows just what it wants and doesn't want. It aims to get the former if It can; to do all in its power to prevent the lat ter, or put an end to it, if it exists now. President William Green's outline ot his organization's policies is as clean cut and concise as the typical politician's discussion of party plans usually is uncertain and Indefinite. The federation scents a scheme. If Congress cuts out the surtax on big incomes, to put a sales tax in its place. "The average workman's living," President Green told me, "costs him practically all he makes. Taxes are passed along to him on everything. He carries the whole load except the surtax. The man who sells to the workman makes a margin of profit. He includes his taxes In the prices of the goods he sells, unci has his profit clear of everything but tho surtax. Abol ishing the surtax and imposing a sales tnx would be putting the entire burden on the poorer man. The fed eration opposes it. We're for tax reduction, of course." There's been considerable talk of action by President C'oolidge to pre vent further coal strike tieups. Nothing doing along that lino Is the federation's view. "The supreme court," said President Green, al ready has held government interfer ence with labor's wages or hours unconstitutional. Those are mat ters purely between the employers ntid employes. What's more, we du'il oppose any attempt to restrict labor's normal activities further by government tribunals or boards. We shall join the railroad labor group in an effort to pass the How- THIXKSK OFFICIAL SLAIX LONDON, Aug. 20.
