PORT ACE PAPER
MAKES COMMEN I

Concerning the resolution passed by
the Sauk County Board of Supervisors
opposing the proposed bird refuge if to
evade taxes, the Portage Democrat says.
THE Sauk county folks seem to be
unnecessarily worried. In the first
place, the story from Ma Olson about the
proposed bird refuge was to the effect
that President Magnus Swenson and
the Wisconsin Power Co. might donate
certain lands for the purpose, said
lands lying wholly in Columbia Icounty.
In the second place, all the lands ex-
pected to be included in the gift are
either overfowed or subject to frequent
overfows since the building of the Prai-
rie du Sac dam, and therefore their
valuation on an assessment roll must be
very low-small enough to be of no i'm
portance in taxation.

THREE BROTHERS
PLEAD GUILTY To
ILLEGAL VOTING
How a Few Extra Votes
Can Change the Com
plexion of an Election
is Shown.

John, Oscar A., and CeIow Rasmussen
of Oshkosh have plead guilty to illegal
voting at the general and special cleo
tion held in the city of Portage in Nov
ember. The three brothers appeared
in Judge Kellogg's court and each plead
guilty to the offense as charged. Judge
Kellogg fined each of them $40 and
costs which they paid and were released
from custody. The complaint was made
by E. S. Baker. There are twenty
others who voted at the election who
were non-residents of Portage and en-
ployed on the street paving gang, in
fact some of them were not residents
of the state. Unquestionably upon
practically accurate evidence the entire
twenty three voted for the purchase of
the Electric Light plant. Eliminating
their vote from the election, the propo-
sition to purchase the plant was defeat
ed by the legal voters of Portage by 13
votes.

Crime Has Increased

During recent months crime has in
creased, somewhat there being more
prisoners at Waupun than ever before.
The number admitted during September
and October was 124 and the institution
is now crowded to the limit. The re-
formatory is also filed.
Mr.. Smith said that society is begin
mig to realize that it may be a son,
brother or father, that it is our duty to
reform, that there is often an imagi-
nary wall about the poor fellows when
they leave the prison which has a
tendency to get them into trouble again
and that the old saying of an eye for an
eye and tooth for tooth is gradual
ly passing away.
In looking up the law passed in 1851
to create the prison at Waupun, the
speaker said he was pleased to find
that the statute read the institution
was established to reform as we'll as to
punish the prisoner. Even at that time
the reform idea had a firm foothold on
the public mind. To reform is the whole
problem. He admitted that sometimes
1T seemed best that man be punished
and told of wife beater as an illustra-
ton. But in most cases the criminal
should be reformed and ,when he has
come into the proper state of mind to
give him a chance in the open
world, to see if he can make good un.
der the eye of the parole officer.

On Thursday evening there was a
large attendance at the Fortnightly
Literary meeting at the home of Mr..

of the evening being President Ralph
E. Smith of the Wisconsin State Board
of Control. His address was on the
"Parole of Prisoners" a question that
is taking on a new meaning in many of
the states. Mr.. Smith and the other
members of the board are in almost
daily contact with the question and he
illustrated his talk with many of the
experiences which had come under his
observation. The vital point, accord
ing to the speaker, is to know when a
criminal has been reformed and when
he is again ready to enter the social
world.
