Little Interference
With Courts
Pardoning Board Carefully
Considers ALI Cases.

Atlanta, May 9.-The estab-
lished policy of prison commits
sion of Georgia to interfere with
the sentences of the courts only
when urgent or special reasons
demands it, has brought about a
decrease infthe number of appli-
cations for pardon. This fact
was plainly shown at the regu-
lar monthly hearing just held at
the capitol. There were fewer
applications than usual for cle-
mency, and the number has been
steadily dwindIing during months
past.
The policy of the prison COM
mission and that of Governor
Slaton, as he has often expressed
it. are almost identical on the
subject. They believe that par
dons should never be trivially
granted, and that the courts
should be upheld in their actions
as a matter OF general and regu-
lar principal unless some unusual
and actually material reason for
pardon or clemency arises.
At the monthly hearing just
closed no pardon recommen-
dations of any general interest
or Importance were made. Sit
ting at the hearing were all three
commissioners, Messrs. R. E.
Dawson, b. L. Rainey and 7. E.
Patterson.

Congressman Park
Introduces Good Bill

Atlanta, May 9.-The state of
Georgia is taking a leading part,
through Congressman Frank
Park. in a movement which may
not only increase the facilities
of the common schools in Geor-
gia, but may in addition become
of nationwide scope. Georgia
in the past has been occasionally
blamed for not doing more to re-
duce illiteracy, but if the present
project is successful it will mean
tremendous strides foreward.
Congressman Parks plan is to
obtain national aid for the COM
mon schools in the elementary
branches of spelling. reading,
writing and arithmetic. He has
already introduced a bill which
if it becomes a law will authorize
the payment Of the sum of three
cents per day per pupil for the
first two school years of actual
attendance. between the age
limits fixed by law in each state.
1t provides that the sum to be
paid into the treasury of each
state shall be distributed along
with the common school fund of
each state to reduce the percen-
tage of illiteracy. Every state
school superintendent in the un-
tied States has endorsed the
Georgia congressman's measure.
