STATE OF WASHINGTON
REPATRIATING IT'S INSANE

Two years work of returning
insane patients to the states or
countries from which they came
ultimately will save Washington
more than three-quarters of a mil
lion dollars, the head of the de-
partment control estimates.
In his biennial report the direct
or shows that 81 patients from for
eign countries have been return
ed to their homes throug the Co
operation of the United States i'm
migration bureau. No cost to the
state was involved in this work.
In addition the state arranged for
the return Of SO other foreigners
and took back 176 patients to 9th
err states. All have been sent from
Washington in the care Of compe-
tent attendants. The total expense
to the state has been $27, 080.97
Ior an average of $102.97 per pat
lent.
Figuring the saving to Washing
ton in this work is pointed out
that the average life of an insane
patient is estimated to be ten
years and the average cost of
maintenance in this state is 5000
a year per patient. In addition
new wards must be provided for
each so or 60 patients and there
are two wards to building The
department Of business control
has found the cost Of new build
ings to be $1,000 per bed or pat
lent. Thus the repatriating of
263 patients saves $4,000 on
maintenance and $276,150 on new
construction, total of $S20,1
Deducting the $27,0S1 cost of de-
porting the insane the net saving
has been $775,069.
Washington has reciprocal ar
rangement with New York, Cali
fornia and Oregon and is willing
to make trades with other states
which at present receive back
III cir insane without protest. A
curiously interesting fact is that
Washington has gotten back about
a dozen of its insane residents
from New York but has found
two insane New Workers to send
to their home state.

COVE CoMIEMss;,.

The question of hanging or 9th
erwise executing murderecs seems
to be a crucial one at this time.
Some are for It and others are
against it. Soma say that execu-
ton is not a deterrent. Others
that it is. When | was about 16
years old l witnessed public
hanging in my native isle der

ed old man who mounted the seat
fold on top of the prison wall in
full view of everyone present. The
culprit was preceded by minister
reading the burial service and fol
lowed by the hangman, the sher-
if and other court dignitaries. 1t
was a grewsome and very impress
sive spectacle, one which | shall
wildly remember as long as l live,
and mpresses me as being very
much of a deterrent.
Ii hanglngs must be, | am Of the
opinion that they should be pub
lie for the reason that unseen
hangings do not convey any ade-
quate impression of the solemn
ity of the tragedy.
am at a loss to conceive why
so much comment has been raised
over the execution of an individu-
AL for an atrocious, inexcusable
murder when little or no com
ment is made when some poor I'M
fortunate is lynched without the
formality of a trial. The question
is; what are we going to do about
it. Murder is all too common and
burglars and hold-up men are po-
tential murdererS. It seems to me
that the reasonable way to deal
with such individuals would be
to segregate and sterilize as they
must surely be mentally unsound.
BY segregation | do not mean III
generation in a penitcntiary with
harsh treatment, but rather life
residence on some island reserv-
ed for that purpose, far removed
from land, with occupation tend
ing to self-support instead of be-
ing a burden on the community.

she owes us then we would not
have to fight to save the money.
The other way is to make France
a present of the debt and it would
cost less than another fight. But
France can pay and should pay
