Those and the prison automobiles are in excellent condition. Farm Production Good. ''Farm erops in the Willamette val ley for the last two seasons have been generally poor, but farm prodiicvi the peuitentiary farm generally hag been nearly to the average. During the past bienuium, largo quantities of sup plies for the coninus8ary have been pro duced on the warm so that the table "was largely provided with products pro duced by themselves. The food supplies purchased amounted to au average of less than seven uoi'ar. per monta iw person, including inmates, employees and officers. "Surplus produce, particularly pork lias been sold and tho money derived Mwirrif mm. fia wnll sit the ninnev derived - - i - - j - from the labor of prisoners, has been used for the purpose of buying a tractor auto trucks and other machinery, with a cash balance of over four thousand dollars still on hand. If the present warden, had converted this surplus pro- uuoe, Die, imo eiuer couumron.? plies by sale or exchange, as was for merly customary, instead of turning ov er this cash and equipment to his suc cessor, it would have reduced the cost of food purchased by the state down to considerably lees than that. "This is an excellent showing, con sidering crops, food prices and condi tions at the penitentiary. ."The food provided has been ample and wholesome and the prisoners are well clothed and well cared for. Governor's Incompetent Fanner, "The dairy barn is untidy, and poor ly cared for. The stock generally is not of high quality and some of the dairy cows should be replaced oy uet-j ter and younger stock. The horses are good but over-fat and appear to have had insufficient work...

Hi active in flueuco over-the governor has "had a demoralizing effect on the administra tion of tho penitentiary during his in cumbency. His pernicious intermed dling in prison affairs has resulted, not only m an increased expense ot main tenance, friction, strife, insubordina tion among employees and disloyalty to the warden among guatds, but also frequently, injustice to convicts. "la his efforts to discredit the war den, he has caused certain convicts to be informed and to believe that they would never be paroled while he was in office, thus discouraging them and causing thent to violate their trust arid to escape. Men who incurred his per sonal hostility by their loyalty to the warden were vigorously opposed beforo the parole board, I Although the praent law limits his duties to looking after those on pnrolo, the parole board has permitted him to usurp the powers of tho warden and looked to him for -advice Ho writes up each case for the parole board, giv ing his ucrsonal recommendations on each nan, which are generally allowed. Governor follows Jjunaiy. "Not only are his recommendations in regard to revpeations of parolos and conditional pardons final and general ly followed by the governor, but it is in his power to stop the- issuance of a parole evon after the samo is recom mended by the parole board. Model pris oners,, with insignificant crimos, have been unable to receive consideration by th board for apparently n0 other rea son than being too friendly to the war don, while thoso who have mado ne effort at being model prisoners and have sewed only a short time, on grave offenses, get by, if they arc on good tonus with, tho oarolo officer. "His nearly arbitrary power wielded through the innocent agency of. tiie pa- role board and the Executive office arc nnw fin d Ion have- been a menace to prison discipline. Employees at the penitontiary irioneuy to mm aavu uau their pay raisod by the governor and somo of them several times, even, in spito of objections of the warden, while thoso unfriendly to aim nave oeva m missed by request of tho governor, or have been forced to loavo tho service by reason of being compelled to work for the old ftf ale of pay, while othors wore' raisod sovcral times.

' "Although his official duties have no connection with tho ponltcntisry or with tho prisoners at tho penitentiary, it is common knowlodge among both in mates and cmployeos that in matters of differenco between tho parole offi cer, and the various wardens, tho parole officer has invariably beon supported by tho governor, thus viitually couati iiiHnir tho narole officer the head of tho penitentiary and makt, n Hfeu head of the warden. Keller Juggles Loan Toid. "The last session of the. legislature appropriated $500 to be placed, in the hands of the warden for tho purpose of loau fund, to be loaned to prisoners on parolo who may be temporarily sick or otherwise urgently iu need of assist ance. Since the passage otthis act, .e parole officer has written to divers' aud suudiy paroled men substautially, as follows: , "At tho last legislature, there wan a bill passed croating a fund to aid paroled men.

They requite him to write np each case and his per sonal viows are invariably injected in to ,lt". This is in spite of the law w fining hi duties as pertaining to con victs only aftor they have been paroled. Before that timo prisoners legally are and morally should be entirely in the care and charge afthe wardon. It is common knowledge at the penitentiary aud among paroled men. that prison conduct has little to do with olio's got ting out. In fact it ia the belief of most prisoners that recommendation by the-wardeit, based oa good conduct, is a detriment when it comes to getting out, as it is almost impossible to t a parole Over the .wishes oft he parolo officer. - Keller Boasts of Power, "In fact, he freely boasts of tiiia ar bitrary powor to, the prisoners aud they know from experience he has and can make his threats good. They know that even if they got the recommendation of the parolo board that he can still go to tho govornor and stop the parolo, as has actually been done. Then even art or thoy are signed by the governor, he linj the power of; recommending a re vocation, which recommendations aro usually followed. This power iu tho bauds of one not responsible to the war den is vicious and has already under mined the administrations of threo good wardens. "The parolo board itsolf may even be unconscious of the power he exer cises, but as the board draws no pay from tho state and meets only once a the actual time e was to serve, largely on recommendation of the parole offi cer. The prisoner was often brought before tho board time after time with out being given any intimation whether be was to serve twa or ten or fifteen years, Nothing can be more demoral izing to the individual prisoner than such uncertainty. Under tsueh law, the parole board or a eunmug parole ofn ecr has more power in this respect than all the esurts of the state com limed. . A recent amendment, permit ting courts to fix a definte maximum and definite, minimum within certain limits only partly remedies the evil. In case of some repoaters,the court was authorised to give a flat or uvuntte sentence. -To illustrate, the impropriety of parole board assuming the duties of a cireuit ludee. cases are noted wnora men with small minimum aad compara tively small offenses are serving un usuallv long terms. Ia one instance coming to the attcntioa of tho iry. two men convicted of the same crime Mere sentenced by the same court. Oi.e had been previously eonvicted and was given a flut sentence that was coneid erablv loneer than the minimum, Tho other waa given-an indetorminato sen tence, as he wag considered the. lessor of tho two criminals. Howover, aa it worked out before tlw parole board tho man who was, a previous offender got out at the expiration of his sen tonco while the otuer man who was I fi:-st offender was kept thore by the parolo board considerably longer than tho repeater. - Curtail Paroie Board Powers, " lit remedy we. rccoinmoni loaisla tion ducectiug 'al juuges ti Ux an intellinont minimum and, an intelli gent maximum anywiioro aitinn tne minimum and maximum established, by low and directing- further that the pris oner be entitled to parole as a attor of law, it hia prison conduct is good at the exmration of his uinunum. Buca a law would eliminate most of tho ac tivities of tho- parolo board and place the matter in Hie hands of the circuit judge who tried the case. In such evont provisioa should be made tnat re peaters who had not fully disclosed all previous convictions of crime may oith er bo resentenced by the court or have their minimum u' td by tho paiolo board. This rcoviua ia nocessary for ohe- nmsott that iifcquontly sufficient oi'birtuiwty for a comparison of Hit tillion and other identifieatiou records does not exist prior to sentoncuig a criminal. It should also bo providod that tho prisoner oould shorten sis nun I mum' by a definite scalo of gaol con duct time, as exporionce base proven this to be a great inducment toward oucouroging good , conduct at the pent- .'iitinrv.

No business eoncern could long jivni.i hfliikruntcv with such a system f JuinkWDine. Nothing is as effi eicnt in covering up poor management as poor bookkeeping. , - "If the penitentiary hogs or the da iry or tho poultry department were charged with all the feed and other expense that goes into them and wi're ercdited with the value of all produc tions, the manager of the department as well as the warden and the public could tell whether that branch operated at a los8 or a profit. Such definite knowl edge is also a valuable experience to the prisoners themselves, as the results ' shown by this bookkeeping in regard to th" -narti-ular work that they followed night-guide them in choosing an occu pation after they leave he prison walls.

If good conduct ar the'l'Crirtmrtiif y Tatinot be consider ed 'itt granting paroles, then one of the greatest '. Inducement , toward reforma tion is ttostroyed. information regard ing their conduct cannot properly como from any source but the warden. "To further assist in curtailing the power and authority of the wardon among tho prisoners, a law has been passed, requiring every circuit judge and district attorney to report on the conditions of each prisoner at the time he is sent to the penitentiary. They re port on his family lifo, history, educa tion, etc. It is recommended that this law bo amended requiring these oiiieers to report to tho wardon who is to be their official custodian, so that he mny be prouerlv advised in regard to the method of treatment and also tne prou ability of thoir reformation. It is be lieved that from such information and from the information obtained person ally and throuuh subordinates at tho Dcmtentiary. tho wardon is tne person be6t Suited to recommend- prisoners for parole. If the warden has authority to roward good conduct by a speedier pa role or to punish bad conduct by a long er prison term, much good will be done to all tho pnsonors, less expense win bo involved in their care and more bur niouv and Icbs turmoil will exist at tho penitentiary.

Iu houiQ of these cases, the offenses have been insignificant and the sentences served have bcen grossly out of proportion to tho time served by other prisoners. It is urgently recommended that these cases be brought to the attention of the goveniop by tha parole board. ".At the present time, most oi tae parole violaWa who have left the state aro. returaod by the parole officer per sonally. In some instances these men have lived in other states for a con siderable period of timo as useful citi zens, and. in some instances, have done no more than to leave the state with out permission of the parolo offieer. It. ha been contended by somo prison ers that their paroles had beon revoked at the recommendation of the parole officer principally io ordof to furnish a trip for the parole offieor at the ststo's cxponse. No evidence is avail able that such ia the case. However, the practice ia bad and it is recom mended that these people bo returned by others than those directly having it in their power to order their return. Tho expense accounts of the parole of fieer for returning a man frequently amounts to several hundred dollars and suoh a practice leads to suspicion on the part of thoso inside tho peniten tiary and leads thom to distrust the officials of the state ,even though their actions are based on proper motives, Put Pen under jsoaro. . "This erand jury urgently recora- monds that tho management of tha pen itentiary be placed in the hands of the board of control. The activities of tho ponitcntiary are so connected wito the other institution that they should be under a similar management, in order that there may be harmony. At the present timo, various state institutions aro benefitting their own cost accounts at tho expense of the penientiary. The penitontiary is making clothing for the Oregon state insane asylum, apparent ly at losg than the market valuo there of. Tho penitentiary has furnished la bor to the stato fair board, to tho.stata limo board, to tho flax industry, at toss than tho market value of tho labor. Tho poatcntiary is now doing tho hauling for cost of the state institutions at a flat rate -of fifty dollars per month. This rate was fixed by the board of control sometime ago, and since that timo, tho, hauling has greatly incroaso'l and tho cost thereof has also lnotoasod The ponitontiury is making and deliv rine ice to- various institutions of the states. In one of the institutions, ice is delivered twice a woes at a monthly cost of one dollar and soventy-fivo cents. Tho ono dollar and sevonty-fivc cents probably would not cover the' cost of a singlo trip for hauling tho ice,, The warden has urged that tho penitentiary bo allowed a fair compensation 5 for those items. While, some of then! are not largo, vet thoy all serve to benefit somo of tho institutions at tho exjjcnBO of the penitentiary and partly form a luiti fur an unfavorable comparison of percapita eosts.. "The meat of varous state institu tions is rerigerated at the penitentiary and the warehousing of feed is taken care of at the penitontiary. Deliveries are made several times a week and the cost of the deliveries is many times greater than the amount allowed for the aorvices of Muling. "It is recommended that whenevor service, labor or material ia furnished by- one institution to another that the samo be booked at a fair market value thereof. Such a method would not make the cost of any of the institutions, as far as the taxpayers are concerned eith er greater or less, but it would tend to let the expense rest where 11 prop erly belongs. Give Warden Completa Control The warden of the penitentiary penitentiary to the board f control in dicates that the maintenance cost of the penitentiary has increased approx imately $11,001) during the past men- ' nium over the proceeding bienaium. Astdo from the management, the rise in prices generally has been responsible for the greater part of this increase. The increase- iu salaries and wages alone is nearly 13,000. While the num ber of employees hat been decreased, it was found necessary, in oraer to re tain competent employees, to raise tha scale of wages and to adopt an eight hour day. The cash on hand of over $4000 in the betterment fund, as well as farm tractor and several auto truck may properly be considered as a credit and offset against tha increase. A largo chimney was constructed at tha axpensa of approximately $1000 which may alsa bo credited against the income, "Among other items responsible for the increase are the repair and fur should be given complete control ofjni-shing of a cottage for the Parole Of the institution the same as ia given the i ficer and the maintenance of himself heads of other state institutions, Thojaod family and tho maintenance of hia four wardens wh0 succeeded Wardon! automobile, which expense was added Lawson have not had complete control I by the last legislature.

Warden Should Nam Parole Officer. "To insure future harmony at tha penitentiary and to prevent ncedlesa turmoil, end strife in regard to wha is the active head of the institution, either the parole offioer should appoint tho warden or the warden should ap point the parole officer, so that ther can. be no- question in regard to wow ia the superior authority. This grand jury recommends legislation providing, that the warden hereafter shall appoint a parole oficer and that he shall be responsible to the warden. 'Lastly, this jury recommends that the law prohibiting competition of con vict with free labor be repealed in s far as tho same pertains to the employ ment of prisoner inside th peniten tiary. The establishment of an Industry of some nature in tho penitentiary that will employ practically all prisoners at all seasons of tho year is a matter of urgent necessity.
