Thinks it Injustice

1t is a fact rather humiliating and
hard 10 bear with equanimity that the
newspapers OF the state inStinctively and
and as matter OF course accept as
true all statements TO the detriment OF
Tampa, her people, her city govern.
ment and her Officers. Several papers
from different sections have come to US
with comments upon the affair OF
Charles E. Jones, and, with one accord
they accept implicitly as true his version
of his adventures in Ybor City, without
waiting for a statement from the other
side, or apparently entertaining the
thought that there can be another side.
l. UnmeaSufed condemnation of our
city government and the whole body of
our citizenship is an outrageous injustice,
especially as that condemnation is visit
ed without allowing an opportunity for
defense or conceding the possibility that
there may be defense, or even that
the story of our defamers may possibly
be false.
We have before US the Palatka News
which contains an article assuming with
out allowing time for a contradiction
the absolute truth of the mendaciouS
statement of Jones in regard TO his al
| legged adventure in 1bor City and also
the further assumption, which is mon.
strouS, that the sale of cocaine to ne
groeS in our city is unrestricted"
The News is usually fair and unpre-
JUDGED newspaper that does not form
haSty judgments or opinions. For that
reason it is particularly disappointing
and wounding TO the feelings 10 find
such premature expressions in its col,
umnS.
The citizenship OF Tampa constitutes
a not unworthy portion of the aggregate
of the people of Florida. They are the
peers of any in intelligence, morality
and obedience 10 the law, and are not
conscious of having deserved that opin-
ion of their fellow citizens of the state
that causes the prompt acceptance of re-
ports to their diScredit as soon as made,
without investigation of their truth and
even wsthout waiting for a simple
denial. Tampa Times.

Thinks Florida Plan Best

The democrats of South Carolina ad,
nit negroes to vote in the democratic
primaries of that state; but they require
a written statement signed by ten repu-
table white men under oath that The
negro offering 10 vote voted for Hamp-
Ton in 1876 and has voted the democratic
ticket without a break ever since.
These written statements must be re-
turned in the ballot box to the chair
man, and a separate list must be kept of
all negroes voting. Too much trouble
better follow the Florida plan and moi
let them vote at democratic primaries at
all.-Tampa Times

The question of fire insurance rates is
just now agilating the people in various
sections of the state, and many papers
are taking up the subject and through
statistics are easily able TO demonstrate
that the people of Florida are being
fleeCed by the foreign companies which
control the business. Frank r. Osborn
of DeLand, writing from CaSSopolis,
Mich, to the DeLand Record, says:
"ln this state are a number of mutual
companies operating in 4 small territory,
covering some three or four counties
each. have my dwelling house and
farm buildings insured for So, 600 in one
of these companies and pay for this
amount of insurance SIS yearly The
DeLand dwelling house is insured for
$1,000 and for this amount we pay $50
per year in advance for one year, or $50
for three years. Adding to the $50 the
interest at per cent for three years
makes the cost on $1,000 $500. The
cost OF an equal amount of insurance
here for three years is $500 That in
dicateS a pretty fair margin of profit for
the line companies. | have given the
cost On exactly similar properties, for
our DeLand dwelling is in the country
and neither there nor here have we any
fire protection" A mutual company
has already been organized at Tampa,
and others will follow.

Washington.-Th excise bill was
put through the senate by a coalition
of Democrats and Insurgent Republi'
cans. 1t extends the provisions of the
corporation tax tor peFsons and
firms having a.masdl-liidal net income in
excess of $4,000. The vote was 81
to IS.
The coalition which at one time
seemed to have gone to pieces and
been replaced by a consolidation on
the Republican side and a closing Of
ranks, as was disclosed in the vote on
the metals bill, is again in fine work
ing order.
The nearest approach to an income
tax which the Democrats felt it was
safe to pass at this time was adopted.
Attached to the bill was rider re-
pealing the Canadian reciprocity act
and another creating a tariff commits
sion. This was the Cummins bill,
which had such an eventful expert
ence.
The estimated revenue from the tax
was stated to be $G0009,0O0 year, or
an amount equal to that which would
be forfeited by abolishing the sugar
duty.

CRIMINAL PROBLEM
 NEEDS ATTENTION
By FRANK E. McCARRY.

MT. Citizen, do you realize how much the criminal problem in Arizona affects you? do you know that to maintain the Territorial prison during the fiscal year en-
 ding June 3o,IoII, cost the people SIo4, 4,63o,33? Arizona has pop ulation of 227,ooo. Under the present methods the cost will be unberable when our population runs into millions.
 You may have no property to be taxed, but every storekeeper has, and the price of everything you buy includes his taxes You cannot avoid paying your share of every expense incident to govern ment. During the year named, you have helped to guard, house and clothe, on an daily average 445 men at the Territorial prison. During the same year, through your agents the courts, you sent to prison 277 men at an estimated expense of $40, ,ooo.
 Few men go to prison who have  not women or children dependent upon them for support. Every man has a God given right to support his family, but, the law says a convict's labor belongs to the state. Who keeps dependent families of convicts from starving? You dol You pay for the care and keep of the husband and father in prison and then lower the moral tone of his unfortunate children by giving them aims! Your prison methods breed poverty, disease and crime. Is this good business ?
 Do you believe that the people of Arizona are six times as bad as the people of New Hamphire? If this is true, and, you were homseeker, would you look for a home in Arizona? One out of every 500 of Arizona's population is in the prison Florence! In New Hampshire, only one out of every 3Ioo is in state prison. In Georgia, where the negroes far outnumber the whites (and the whites operate the courts) there is only one out of every goo in prison! Is Ari- !. zona's moral tone lower than Georgia's?
 The new state of Arizona can raise its standard of citizenship by . reducing the percentage of its | population in prison. How? By . creating a board of managers . which will have complete control l of those who drift in and out of the charitable, reformatory and penal institutions of the state.
 An interminate sentence law is necessary. Arizona has such a law, but it is imperative. It per mits the judge to sentence a man to prison for the indeterminate term, whereas, it should have made the ndeterminate sentence obligatory in all cases. The Ari- zona courts have not seen fit to impose the indeterminate sentence to any degree, because there has been no provision made 10 handle the men paroled under this law. A convict is not necessarily a criminal. Through the indeter- minate sentence law the parole bureau is given authority to super wise, outside the prison walls, N convicts who seem to be worth the effort. Of course, there will be found instances when those who have been paroled, commit new crimes, but in such cases the
The Coconino sun., 1912-01-26

state is saved the expense of a
 trial. The parole violator is re-
 turned to serve his maximum
 sentence. Another result of this
 law, is this, it drives from within
 our borders, the floating criminals
 who fear its workings. Again, the
 indeterminate sentence starts every convict even with his fellows. All
 have relatively the same sentence.
 Each knows just what he has to
 make possible his parole at the expiration of his minimum sentence.
 A parole law is necessary. It should put the power to parole, exclusively in the hands of board.
 This board should be authorized to look alter the convictS on parole; to find them employment, if necessary, and to encourage them in all proper ways. The parole officers warrant should be sufficient to return a paroled man to prison, subject to a later hear ing by the board.
 Some years ago, Indiana passed law providing for an operation known as vasectomy to be per formed on all incurable insane, imbeciles, habitual criminals and others of defective type, to pre- vent the reproduction of their kind. We now know that the McNamara boys dynamited the Los Angeles Times building com mitted wholesale murder. It is said that their father was re- peater and life man in the Ohio | penitentiary. If the operation l. named had been performed on him during his first sentence, there might have been no Me Namara boys to do wholesale . murder. New Jersey, Indiana, Iowa, Connecticut and California . have this sex law, will California . apply 1t to the McNamara boys2 i Will the incoming legislature enact such law for Arizona?
 As a rule, under these laws, state institutions are operated by a board made up by men who are not interested in politics, but are in the work. Under such a board, employees held their places just as long as they made good. Just the same way in which a man working for you, MT. Citizen, would hold his job.
 Can you do anything better for Arizona, than to urge your repre- sentatives in the legislature, verbally and by letter, to stand for the best laws possible-laws which have proven good in other states--in order that those who or suffer from poverty, disease and crime, may be cared Tor at a minimum expense to you2 m the language of the up-to- date do it now.
