BOARD is FIRM; JUDGES SCORED
Chairman Howe Advises Jurlsts To
Observe lndeterminate Sentence
Law As II Appears In Code.

Des Moines.--Chairman Howe, Of
the state board OF parole, has served
notice on those district judges who
pay no attention to the indetermin-
ate sentence law, that the board will
not give consideration to the sen.
fences which they provide.
This board of parole will give no
attention to determinate sentences
fixed by district judges" said Chair
man Howe. THE new law fixes the
maximum limit for practically all
crimes and that alone will guide
the board. For instance, in robbery
cases the law fixes not to exceed
ten years in Jail. If a district judge
sentences a man to six years that
man will stay the full ten years If
the board thinks he ought to stay.
The district judges have absolutely
no authority to fix sentences definite
ly and they ought to stop the prac-
tice. 1t only tends to create trouble
with prisoners who are given determ-
mate sentences"

Great bitterness has developed in
the contest. 1t is certain that as
long as Taft is president he will con-
tinue to recommend the postal in
crease, and shrewd political observ-
eTs say that in this far more than his
reciprocity program lies danger to
the presidents ambition to remain
in the White House another four
years.
The publishers here today laugh
at the administration ordering U.
S. District Attorney Wise, of New
York, to investigate with view of
prosecuting the magazines as trust.
They declare they have no fear of
any probe into their affairs and that
no businesses in the country is of so
competitive nature.
The fight started on February
when Postmastsr-0t neral Hitchcock
presented 10 the senate committee on
postoffices an amendment to the pres.
ent law increasing the rate from one
cent a. pound for second-class mail
matter to four cents on all adyer-
tising matter in exaBs of 1000
pounds. He declared that during
the fiscal year 100000, 900 pounds
of second-class mail matter was
carried by the government at a loss
Of $62.O00,O00, whereas the total
postal deficit was $6,000,000.
Protests quickly followed the
proposed change in rates. Publish
ers of leading magazines hurried to
Washington. charging Hitchcock's S
move as a plot to bankrupt them for
political reasons. They asserted that
the destruction of their business
would follow. and that the proposed
chang would reduce and not in
crease the postal revenues. They al

asked by the state penitentlary for
maintenance was reduced only $4,000.
The state asylum is hit the hardest,
more than 100000 being cut from
the estimates submitted by Superin-
tendent R. r. Lee Steiner.
The total amount asked by the asy-
lum official for the next biennial per-
iod was $953, 3,427S2. The committee
has reduced this figure to 1921 1,620.44.
This amount includes $692,45294 for
the institution proper and $29,207.5O
for the asylum farm. The amount
allowed for transportation of insane
persons for the two years is $4,000.
Superintendent James of the state
penitentiary estimated the amounts
needed by that institution for the BIZ
ennial period at $145,000 for mainte-.
nance and $43,500 for improvements.
The amount allowed for maintenance
by the ways and means committee is
$4,000. or $4,000 less than petit
toned for by the superintendent,
who with DR. Steiner appeared be-
fore the committee two weeks ago
and In detail explained the needs of
their respective institutions. When.
it came to improvements, the com
mittee did some wholesome slashing,
reducing the amount to $21,25O.
For material and labor for re-
plumbing old cells Mr.. James asked
for an appropriation of $35OO; for
wiring the cells for electric lights,
$500; for re-wiring the dollhouse Of.
fees and guards quarters, $500, max
ing total of $4,100. This amount
was reduced by the committee to
$4,000 for all the purposes specified

Salem and Marion county will have
no cause to complain of the liberality
of the present legislature. Senators

of the pruning knife, the bill for
