Califol MIA, whose Board of Health
RECENTLY raised the question of quar-
antining the state against consum p-
tives, is now considering the advisa :
bility of putting to death all incor-
rigible criminals. There is no law as
yet sanctioning such a course, but
those who advocate it are ready 70
present one for passage. Three con-
victions for felony would be considered
as" establishing the incorrigibility of
the prisoner, and he would then be
examined by board of criminologists
and atheists. Arguments advanced
in favor of such a law are that it is
more humane thar the present sys-
ten of long imprisonment, and that it
would be great deterrent. .
