RANSPORTATlON OF PRISON.
ERs BY THE GUARDS LES
SENS EXPENSE OF CONS.
Reduces Board Bills and Cuts OF
Money Sheriffs Formerly Made
BY Employing Guards.

| Actual figures show that under the
| operation of the new transportation
of prisoners law, fathered by Cover
nor Mead, the cost Of transportation
has been materially reduced for the
state and the cost of the care of the
prisoners to the counties has also
been cut down, is the report that
comes from Olympia.
Under the old law, the sheriffs, in
addition to their profits on the board
of prisoners, were enabled to make
considerable money by employing
friends as guards in taking prisoners
to the several state institutions. The
new law had been in operation but a
few months when the official reports
showed that it had accomplished a
saving of large sums in the trans
portation item.
Sherffs Make Complaint.
This contention of the opposing
sheriffs having been wiped out on
that point, these sheriffs have re-
Gently been voicing the complaint
that prisoners We're being detained
longer after sentence at the county
jails awaiting the travelling guards
and that the counties were being
made to eXpend greater sums for
board.
The exact data has been secured.
The state records at the penitentiary
show that for the months of April,
May, June, July, August, September
and October, 1904, under the old law
there were received at the peniten-
tiary 1876 prisoners, who had been de-
tanned in the county jails after sem
tence a total of 1872 months and 20
days. For the same months this
year, under the new law, there were
tention aggregated 100 months
and three days.
In other words the new law has
saved the counties on board bills, al
though two more prisoners were ham
died, the expense of board for two
months and II days.
Showing of New Law.
The very long intervals between
sentence and arrival at the prison are
in cases appealed to the supreme
court.
In fair comparison the month of
April, 1905, should be eliminated, as
in the spring Of that year the fund
for transportation of prisoners was
exhausted and the prisoners were
allowed to remain in the county jails
until the new law went into effect
Omitting the month of April the
showing for the six months period
would be as fallows:
In 1904, 165 prisoners, aggregating
III months and % days.
In 1905, 147 prisoners, 95 months
and Is days.

INSURANCE IDEAS
AIRED IN CONGRESS

NASHINGTON.--Debates on the re
colnmenaation in the presidents an
nLGl loessage regarding insurance re
gnhltion has again occurred in the
House. The pending resolutions refer
the question to the ways and means
committee. and n rs defense Mr..
Payus. chairman. made the argument
that tAe only way congress could con
trol insurance was through the taxing
power To this many objections we're
made. Members said congress could
not afford to take the position that
the only way it could control insurance
was through taxing il; that II should
resolutely pursue other methods OF
control until some way was found
which would be effective.
Mr.. Mann, Of Illinois, said he saw
great difficulty in regulating insur-
ance through the taxing power. but he
did believe regulation might be secur-
ed under the commerce clauses Of the
constitution.
