PAROLE PROBLEM
BEFORE CONGRESS
Results lndeterminate Sentence Laws,
BY Amos w. Butler, President
Prison Association.

This law is in effect in many states
but has not been adopted by the fed
eral government. A better name fol
it would be the indefinite sentence, tC
distinguish it from the definite sent
ence still in use in many states.
The following states have reforma
tories, under the indeterminate sent
ence and parole SYSTEM Colorado
Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Massa
chusetts, Michigan. Minnesota, New
Jersey, New York. Ohio, Pennsylvania
and Washington. The state reforma'
tory of Wisconsin has the indetermin-
ate sentence so worded as TO make it
definite for the maximum term.
In Indiana, Iowa, Massachusetts,
Michigan, New Hampshire and New
Mexico the indeterminate sentence ap-
plies also to the state prison.
In Arizona, Connecticut Illinois,
Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, New
York, North Dakota, Oregon, Pennsyl-
vania, Vermont, West Virginia and
Wyoming, prisoners are committed to
state prisons under either definite or
indeterminate sentences.
Those imprisoned under the inde-
terminate sentence are usually releas-
ed upon parole. Who should be pa
rolled? Those who by their ability to
keep the rules inside the prison give
evidence of their ability to keep law
on the outside. They may be released
under supervision and should report
monthly to the institution while on
parole
The indeterminate sentence cannot
be efficiently administered in an in
stitution controlled by partisan poll
tics. A non.partisan basis and the
merit system are necessary to sue
cess.
The most important part of the pa.
role work is proper supervision. In
some states the work of local agents
is supplemented by private societies.
Some states give little or no super
vision. In some, private agencies
alone supervise those released on pa
role.
Summing up the operations of the
indeterminate sentence law, some IN
teresting results are noted:
1. We usually regard the record OF
the men ON parole as the chief result.
approximately 25 per cent of those
so released violate the terms of their
parole. This does not necessarily
mean that they commit crime, but
that they fail to observe the condi-
tions of their release.
2. The average length of sentence
under it is increased above that of the
former system of definite sentences.
8. It is not popular with the con-
firmed or professional criminal.
4. The less experienced offender be- |
lieyes in 1t and profits by it.
8. Wherever the law is well ad. |
ministered the prison officers approve
it, both as a help to the prisoners and
as a means of discipline.
6. The views of prison officials,
members of the bar the press and
most Of the public have changed fav-
orably toward this law
Z. There has been an awakening
and extension of interest in correc-
tional institutions through the parole
work.
S. II should be observed that no
state which adopted the law has re-
1ealed or unfavorably amended it.

SCOTT FORCED INTO

The automobile business which
was conducted by Jesse Williams for
the past six or seven months mas
passed into the hands OF Andy Scott.
Several months ago Scott desired

Williams bought other machines and
Scott endorsed his notes to the CON-
pan ,es which were given in payment
of new machines. Recently Williams
left Douglas, ostensibly to see about
the starting Of an automobile line
into the Altar placer fields, but 1t
soon became known that he had gone
to the coast and has no intention of
returning to Douglas.
Scott stated today that he had
no desire to return to the automobile
business. preferring TO devote his en-
ergies entirely to the contracting bust
ness. but that he had to take the
machines in order to protect the
money that was sdll due him on the
macines he had sold W lliams and
the notes which he had Endorsed foI
him. He states that it is not his
wish TO remain in the business and
that he WI only do 50 long enough
to dispose of the machines and thai
these he will sell as soon as he IS
able 10 do so without loss. Mean
time he win conduct the business
Williams had worked for Scott as
a chauffeur for some two years be
fore he embarked in the business TO
himself His departure from Douglas
came as a distinct surprise TO al
lwho kenw him.

for you, no matter where you may
stand in the list of candidates now,
doing everything in your power to run
your total up to handsome proportions.
Under present conditions a very little
effort can make you big leader and
bring you a prize worth many, many
times the energy which will be re-
quired to get it.
Space is not available here to give
in detail just what each prize lead
represents, but some notable illustra-
tiOns are the lead for the $500 double
trip to Honolulu, which represents
less than five yearly clubs, and the
total which leads for the 1920 double
trip to Mexico City and return, which
represents just little over one yearly
club.
If you would like any of The Herald s
magnificent prizes it will pay you to
talk to the contest man at once. After
the facts and figures have been laid
before you, you can come to your own
conclusions and act accordingly. This
information will be furnished you
gladly and it will then be up to you
to do whatever you think BEST but
not investigating and studying present
conditions will be a great mistake.
Your Indifference and idleness at this
time is costly.
Ir a few plain words the opportu-
nifty is this: 1t is up to you to learn
just how you can get a rich reward
and you should at least be interested
enough to see how and why this oppor-
tunity is yours.
Whether you are a candidate or not,
whether you have a vote to your credit
or not, whether you have become al
ready Identified with this enterprise or
not, the opportunity is offered you.
Are you going to grasp it?
Just a few minutes thinking will
suffice to convince you absolutely of
this, and when a few minutes thinking
or a few hours effort can bring you
an award worth hundreds of dollars,
don't you feel it is worth a few min
utes of your time and attention?

AN OPEN LETTER TO
CONTEST ENTRANTS
Next important Event Is Drop in
Schedule of the Extra
Vote Offer
THIS OCCURS NEXT SATURDAY
Every Club Dollar Gets so Votes
More Than Will Be
Given Later
THIS OCCURS NEXT SATURDAY

The next and last important event
before the close Of The Herald's Vot-
ing contest itself will be the drop III
the extra vote offer at 10 p. m. next
Saturday June IS
This will see the extra votes on a
club dollar drop from 400 to 400 votes,
d reduction of 80 votes.
There will be less than two weeks
remaining of the contest after June
Is, so it can be seen that everything
done before June 1S will give can
didate the advantage of the higher
voting power of a dollar and make 1t
possible for him to insure success at
the close of the contest by doing
everything in his power before next
Saturday.
Perhaps the best way to show the
importance of turning in all the busl-
ness possible before the vote reduction,
is to call attention TO the fact that a
club of new yearly subscriptions now
calls for 30,750 votes this being fig
ured on 165 regular votes and 450 extra
votes on every dollar in the club
amount After 10 o'clock next Satur-
day night a new yearly club will call
for 2S,25O votes, or 2500 votes less than
the same amount of business cast at
the present time.
The greatest lead in the entire con-
test, the lead IOf the 9OouO nome, rep
resents (under the present vote sched
ule) slightly more than fifteen yearly
clubs only. The value Of this prize
surely justifies a greater evidence of
determination and proof Of hustling
ability than this.
Other totals. those leading for the
$33S0 Knox Tourabout, the double
trip to the Orient ($7S750), the $3.50
grand piano, the $500 mahogany dining
room set, the $500 bank account, and
other prizes, are away out OF proper
ton to the value Of the prizes led for,
and another important item is that no
great increase has been shown in any
of the leads for a considerable period
and SIX OF THE EIGHT GRAND
PRIZES HAVE BEEN STATIONARY
FOR WEEKS.
Now, with a whole week in which
to build clubs, there is every reason
