during the HNe year peTlOQ from
January, 1904, to January, 1909, the
total number of commitments to the
penitentiary at Fort Madison and the
reformatory at Anamosa We're 2,154,
and during that period there were pa
rolled of that number 175 or eight per
cent of the commitments. In addition
there were thirty paroled before COM
mtment making a total of 205 placed
on parole in Iowa during the five years.
OF the total number paroled only seven
per cent have failed to keep the terms
of the parole and reform.
The paroled in Iowa furthermore
make a better showing than in other
states in the money they have earned.
The average is s4s.76 a month for each
person paroled while if they were con-
would be burden to the state. The
average earned by those paroled from
the Indiana reformatory is but $320A
per month.
In many of the eastern states the
parole system is used to the extent
that in hundreds of cases where the
offense is the first and there is no evil
dence tending to show any degenerate
condition on the part of the person
under sentence, the sentence is sus-
pended and the person committing the
offense is paroled without ever being
sent to the penitentiary or reforma-
tory where a handicap is placed upon
him to be lived down in after life.
Representative White, of Story coun-
ty, believes that the stocks and bonds
of the railroads and many other forms
of comparison will show that the rail-
roads are not now assessed at more
than about 55 per cent of their real
value, the same as the farm lands. He
made the stock and bond comparison
one of the chief points in his argument
