Governor Believes "No Hon

vocates Inside En-
ployment.

SALEM. Aug. 2.-The honor sys-
tenn and the trusty system are fall

thieves" The only solution of the
penitentiary problem is the establish
ment of some sort of an industry in
side OF the prison walls. with the trus-

with entirely.
These are conclusions reached by
Governor Withycombe after three
years of experience, and after ex-
tending leniency to large numbers of
convicts. who. the governor says, have
shown they are not appreciative.
The governor is now formulating n
plan for submission to the next deg
islatVre, which will provide for the
employment inside of the prison.

pended upon. The only solution of the
present grave situation is In the es-
tablishment of some industry inside
the prison walls which will keep the
men confined and at work. For three
years we have extended to the men
considerable leniency and have allow
ed them trusty and honor privileges,
because we felt that certain classes
could be redeemed under the privil-
