DISCIPLINE IN STATE PRIso


Not only the law but the necessities OF the
case require the wardens OF the State prisons
to enforce discipline. Coneicts are sentenced
to hard labor, and the wardens are directed TO
enforce the sentences OF the courts, and both
"a dne m % and tne peopie .egu.se .ne 10
and for the purpose Of enactfng this huinape
fentiment into the laws of tho State tho
Legislature In 1915 prohibited punishment by
showering with cold water. or whipping with a
lash on the bare body This proviso was en-
acted because the lash frequently left scarh
upon the bnck and believe II has been faith
fully observed by all our wardens since It's en-
actment. But 1t has been construed by war
dens, Legislative committees, and by all the
Governors since the enactment of the law, that
this did not prohibit, on extreme occasions, the
of the fiat strap. The instruc' ions given
have been TO enforce discipline with the least
possible seyerity

INDEBTEDNESS.
For Some years ample provision has been
made for liquidating the bonded debt, but as
all of the bonds had not matured they were not
paid up until within the last year. And now,
for the hrst time Ia our history we can with

bond issued by authority of the Legts-
lature has been cancelled, IL Is true that the
State Is indebted TO the trust funds, eonsist-
