LAMENT FOR TAXPAYERS

Asserting that the courts of Indiana

credulity to believe that law breakers who
have received suspended sentence for law
violations, cease their awbreaking,' the
board Of trustees Of the Indiana State
Farm at Putnamville, in their annual re-
port to the Governor today, arraign the
State courts vigorously.
IF the courts would show more Sc

number Ct men sent to the farm would
be greatly increased says the report,
Usually they are given suspended sen
