NEW CRIMINAL CODE
The lndeterminate Sentence Law
shot all To Pieces

The indeterminate sentence law of
1907 which also created the state
prison board and provided for ;hc
parole of conyicts, is repealed by the
new criminal code, that is, if the
criminal code is itself valid. asserts
IAN Olympia report
This is one of the scores of iokers
which those who have examined tho
new criminal code assert were slim
ped into rrat law during ,ho last SEES
sion,
Under tie 500 law. chapter 1855,
every person sentenced to the peri-
Tertiary except those convicted of
treason OF murder. must be sent
there for the indeterminate term of
not less than the minimum and nor
more than tho maximum term pro-
yided by law for the crime.
Those who showed evidences of 70
formation could be released by the
prison board on parole and if the,
then made good could be finally dis
charged. TIE others would hay to
serve the maximum term.
Act Generally COMMENDED
The passage of the act was nrgec
by Governor Mead and was generally
commended as step toward the
modrn ideas of penology. The pen
Iitentiary officials have been well
pleased with the results of the work
ings of the law. OF the scores pa
rolled relatively few have failed
to make good and in nearly every
instance the convicts have been law
abiding and have earned an average
of better than $50 a month.
No public criticism of the law has
ever been made. Yet on page is
of the new criminal code, being sec
ton %, of the act, chapter 155, laws
of 1907, it is mentioned as one of
those repealed
ISut Little is Left
All at is left Of the indetermin-
ate sentence is found in section 20
of the new code. which limits indie
terminate sentences strictly to those
convicted of a felony for which no
| fixed period of confinement is i'm
posed by law, and paroles are limited
to these instances. AS few folonics
in the state law fail to carry q fixed
penalty the indeterminate sentence
law may, to all intcnts, be consider
ed as wiped out.
There is, of course, this legal qucs-
ton. The indeterminate sentence
law relates to procedure. Attorneys
claim that the title of the criminal
code is insufficient TO repeal laws
covering procedure.
There may he other questions rails
ed as to the validity of the code and
until these are determined the ad-
ADMINISTRATION CT the criminal laws Of
! the state may be terribly unsettled,
| Scores of criminals may get liberty
on technicalities because Of the un-
certainty whether, upon conviction
| they should be sentenced to fixed
terms under the code, or to indcterm-
mate sentences under the old law.
! The code will go into effect early in
June and before that time it is pro
bable the peace officers Of the state
will arr ange to test its validity.
