Special to The Journal.
Des Moines, Iowa, March 24.--Iowa's move for
prison reform occupied the attention of the SEN
ate yesterday afternoon. The debate on the bill
system opened by Saunders Of Pottawatta-
mic county, chairman of the legislative commit
tee which investigated this subject
My investigation has convinced me- he said,
that the whole system Of punishment of crime,
as now administered in Iowa, Is wrong. A con-
V1cted criminal is given a definite term in the
penitentiary. He knows when his sentence is
to expire, and that by good conduct 1t may be
shortened. His term completed, he goes free
with nothing to restrain him. He reasons that
his methods when be committed his first crime
were coarse, and that he was foolish to leave
such an open trail. He resolves not to be caught
again in that manner. If released on parole
under an indeterminate sentence he knows that
any infraction of the parole terms means his
return to the penitentiary, with little posi-
bility of his release before the end of his SEN
tence. He has every inducement to live law
abiding life and to form habits of decency and
responsibility.
Il believe that a criminal should be pun
ished so that others may be deferred from COM
hitting like offense, but it is more important
to society that he should be reformed than that
he should be punished. AS it is now, we turn
out criminal to prey upon society, and he
commits all manner of depredations. The need
is to turn him out reformed
Senator Saunders produced comparative figures
from Illinois to prove that the percentage Of
''repeaters' in the penitentiaries had decreased
from 17.5S per cent to 8 per cent during the
ten years that the indetermfnate sentence and
reformato tory system had been in opera ton in
that state.
Senator Molsberry Of Louisa county spoke
against the BILL
For Iowa Insurance Probe.
If the measure reported by the senate insur-
ance committee last night becomes a law it will
lead to an extensive investigation of life insur-
ance companies doing business in Iowa.
Quite d sensation was created early In the ses-
sion by a resolution by Senator Molsberry, pro-
viding for investigation of life insurance COM
panies. At the same time bill intro
duced by Senator Warren providing that investi-
cation be limited to reports in the state audi
tors office. Yesterday the senate committee
voted out the bill combining provisions of the
resolution and the Warren bill 1t provides for
legislative insurance commission Of five men,
bers Of the legislature appointed by the presi-
dent of the senate and speaker of the house.
The commission begins Its sessions at the adj
journment of the general assembly, and has
power to employ clerical and legal assistance
and summon witnesses and documents.
A hard fight will be made against the bill.
