GOV. HODGES WILL
. GIVE MORE PAROLES
Indeterminate Sentence Law
Made the Terms Longer.
NEW LAW NOT A SUCCESS
Was Intended to Aid In Reformatory
Work, But Failure of Governors
to Use Parole Power Makes
It Failure.

Topeka.-Because the Kansas 1nde-
terminate Sentence law has increased
the average terms of the men in the
Kansas penitentiary twenty months,
Governor Hodges has decided to use
his parole power more freely than
ever before. Some time ago Warden
]. X. Codding of the state peniten-
tiary told the governor that the law,
which was supposed to make prison
terms shorter, had actually made the
average terms longer. The governor
then asked for detailed report on
this proposition.
Under the old law when man was
convicted for a crime he was SEN
fenced to prison for say three years"
the governor said. by good conduct
he was released in two years and
four months. The definite term fixed
a certain time when he could be re-
leased. The Indeterminate Sentence
law provides that when man is con-
victed of the same crime that he
should be sentenced for from two to
five years as a fair example. The
working out of. this law has been that
the man served three years and eight
or ten months before he was released,
while under the Discriminate Sentence
law he served two years and four
months.
THE Indeterminate Sentence law
was passed to give the governors an
opportunity to reward men for good
conduct in prison by releasing them
He is released under parole, the state
keeping tab on him for the entire
maximum sentence. The governors
have not been using the parole power
and the new law, intended to aid in
reformatory work, has failed. am
going to use the parole power and
get every man out of the prison who
is fit to be a good citizen at the ear
