that gambling is a felony?
Mr.. Pugh rendered an opinion
two years ago that it was illegal
for members of the board of county
commissioners to collect personal
expenses from the county when not
engaged in official business. He
knows that George Collin collected
as high as 800 month for the use
of his own automobile. that Collin
made the county pay for his
lunches almost every day, some
times as high as $1.25 per meal,
when he had a home in the city,
yet Collin is immune to prosecu-
ton under the Pugh regime, be-
cause Collin is one of the head
pushers in the court house gang.
Why was it, Mr.. Pugh, that you
told the grand jury that if an in
dictment were returned against Cal

ing graft interest on trust funds,
that you could secure a conviction,
and urged that such an indictment
be returned in preference to one

r. X. PUGH.
Spokane county is paying 80
cents per day for feeding prisoners
at the county Jail. The money is
paid to F. x. Pugh, sheriff, who
serves two meals per day to the
prisoners at an average cost per
meal Of 17h cents per meal. The
county furnishes everything except
| the food, the prisoners do the work,
and in this way Sheriff Pugh last
year collected $4,000 from Spo-
! kane county.
Even if the food were good and
plentiful, the price is out Of reason,
when it is taken into consideration
that the sheriff pays neither heat,
light, rent or help, which forms the
big end of the average restaurant
mans expense. Yet the county
pays as much as an ordinary meal
can be had at some of the cheaper
restaurants of the city.
| Spokane city feeds its prisoners
| for 10 cents per meal, and the man
who has the contract does the cook
ing away from the Jail and furn-
ishes his own light and fuel. pays
his own rent and help and still
makes money.
What is the rake-off of the sher-
| if under the present plan of feed
| ing the prisoners? An ex-sheriff,
who filled the office for two years
and knows whereof he speaks, said
| Saturday: Mac Pugh makes a
clean Is cents profit each day on
the cost of boarding each of the
! county prisoners. The county
could buy the grub and give the
| prisoners more and better food for
20 cents per day. That is the plan
followed in King county, where the
cost of feeding prisoners under
Sheriff Hodge has been reduced to
almost what it is in Spokane coun-
! ty.
"Under the present plan, and
with the police working to keep the
| jail full, the feeding of prisoners is
! easily worth $4,000 net to the sher-
! iff every year."
