Who says there is not work in
Iowa? The members OF the state
board Of pardons think otherwise. So
does State Labor Commissioner Van
Duyn. Since the last sitting of the
board of parole the board has found
good Jobs for the fifty prisoners who
were paroled during the May term.
If fifty paroled prisoners can be given
good Jobs in Iowa the members Of the
board think that men who are not
prisoners and have no prison records
should be able to find Jobs. And as
though bearing out the belief of the
board. Commissioner Van Duyn is be-
ing urged by the farmers OF the state
to find them more men for farm work
He has given every collegian who has
asked for farm work place. Now
/ the farmers are demanding more men.

The latest contributions to the
literature of the Iowa prison system
and work of the present state admin
istration is from the pen of DR.. NJ. R.
Hammer of Newton, who had expert
ences as an inmate of FIT. Madison
The fact however, that he was an in
mate and that Governor Cummins par
doned him on showing that lis con-
victton was dead wrong, may weaken
/ his testimony. He declares that the
old cell house is unfit for occupation
and that the conditions at the prison
have long been very bad from sani-
tary viewpoint. He points out the fact
that the prison population has been
steadily increasing under the present
method and states 1t as fact that a
great majority OF the prisoners be-
lieve that "the board Of parole are
/ actually in the pay of the contractors"
DR.. Hammer does not state that he
has this belief, but points out that 1t
is condition in the prison, which
would probably nullify much of the
work Of the warden in reformatory
directions. Dr. Hammer declares his
belief that Warden Sanders is "the
most humane warden Iowa has ever
had in the history Of her penal insti-
tutions."
