GOVERNOR
TO PARDON
CONy|CTS
WILL CUT DOWN THE NUMBER
OF PRISONERS BY PARDONING
THEM = TO KEEP PENITEN-
TIARY EXPENSES WITHIN THE
APPROPRIATION.

A special dispatch to the 0regonian
furnished exclusively to that paper
by Governor West and appearing in
it this morning says:
"In carrying out the policy an
nounced by the state board that no
deficiencies will be allowed at the
state institutions, Governor West will
inaugurate one of the most drastic
moves ever attempted in the state in
connection with the state peniten-
tiary, and will prevent deficiencies at
that institution by liberal use of
the pardoning power.
At present the prison Is filled to
overflowing, there being Ats inmates.
During the last two or three months
there has been an unprecedented in
crease which has filled every availa-
BILE space.
Every Tier Filled.
In his report Superintendent James
showed an average of 412, the great
est in the history of the state up to
that time. Under the present condi-
tions, which have arisen since the
legislative session, there are 475,
creating the necessity of slowing
away prisoners in the fourth tier.
high above the windows, which col
lects all of the foul air arising from
the tiers underneath. In this fourth
tier are a few extra cells that have
never before been usd.
Funds Not Ample.
Superintendent James recommend
ed to the legislature that 4S new cells
be installed and that maintenance
appropriation of $151, 900 be given the
prison. this being on a basis Of 45O
prisoners. The legislature reduced
this figure arbitrarily to $4,000, and
as a result the conditions are such
that the appropriation will not be suf-
fcient to cover the needs of the
prison.
with these facts confronting him
Governor West declares that he in.
tends to make good his declaration
that there will be no deficiencies.
PardOns May BE Remedy.
"He sees only one method for rem
edying the conditions-that is to keel
the number of prisoners down to
basis where the $4,000 will provid,
plenty of food. plenty Of clothing AM
plenty of sustenance for inmates a
the penitentiary. There is a singh
way in which this can be accom-
plished, and that is by frequent AM
wholesale pardons, when this is con
! sidered a necessity by the executive
and this plan will be followed.
