BOARD Of CONTROL
WILL TAKE CHARGE
Governor Will No Longer
Have Free Hand In Prison
Affairs

Whatever may have been Governor
Withycombe purpose in filing resolu-
tions asking that he be permitted to
name commission to survey the state
penitentiary, the result seems to be that
murky condition of the atmosphere
enveloping that institution is in a fair
way to be cleared up. 1t has long been
the custom in Oregon to delegate to the
governor supervision of affanrs per
tanning to the penitentiary, custom
having q basis in the statutes, but the
legislature OF 1913 modified this and
placed the penitentiary with the other
state insti utions in the province of the
state board of control.
There are now manifested a number
of things to the conclusion that the
board of control is to assume active
supervision of the institution, and a
majority of the board membership, Sec
retary of State Olcott and State Treas
urer Kay, have already taken steps to-
remedy any faults there which may
need remedying and which are within
their province to remedy.
Secretary Olcott and Treasurer Kay
are united in the assertion that "inso-
far as the governors resolution may
have been directed towards criticism of
conditions at the penitentiary which are
under the supervision of the board, we
will not vote. for it, but as for the
recommendation of changes of policy,
such as the erection of new buildings,
which is matter to be placed before
the legislature, it is our intent to give
full cooperation"
During the past few days Secretary
Olcott and Treasurer Kay have been
investigating conditions at the prison.
This investigation is entirely apart
from the proposition submitted by the
governor last Monday. 1t is stated
that thus far this investigation has dis
closed nothing whatever to justify re-
ports that have been circulated. The
trouble seems to be without and not
within the walls.
1t is the evident purpose of those
members of the board of control, who
constitute a majority, to make the in
vestigation most thorough and rigid
one, and it is likely that before it is
ended more than one eat will be let out
of the bag and more than one nigger
removed from the woodpile, figurative-
ly speaking. The present determination
to put the superintendency of the pris-
on entirely into the hands of Superin-
tendent Mimic, with power to remove
disturbing element if he sees fit to
do so, is the first radical step in this
direction. Superintendent Minto will
be given full swing, and it is up to him
to make good or be removed from his
position. This is the way the situation
appears at present to an interested OBJ
server. tr-
When approached on the matter this
afternoon, Superintendent Mimic stated
that he had nothing to say at present.

coming up from down Coos Bay way

left breast, and which he said was a
magic symbol that meant "Salem
