Look Lightly on Some Laws.

LOOK Lightly on some Laws.
There are certain offenses against the
federal law which to some easy-goins
minds do not appear to be offenses at
all. Men and women who would not
steal postage stamp. even If its theft
was to save them walk of five miles
TO post office, will try to beat the
governments tariff laws and are not
at all conscience stricken apparently
when they succeed in beating its pro-
hibltion laws.
There are hundreds of first offenders
against the federal government who
have looked ut certain of the statutes
as having been made to be broken
There probably are great many
young men in the federal prisons
who do not realize today that their
crime really was crime. Instead
of being criminals some of these young
men simply have warped moral view
point. This seems to be understood
by some of the present prison officials
of the government and by men in Of
flee elsewhere.
1t seems likely that the attorney gen.
eral is overconfident when he says nine
out of ten of the first offenders can
be reclaimed. There probably is no
such record of salvation as this to be
found in any of the reformatory In
stitutions in the United States. 1t is
said that straightaway prisons where
close confinement and hard labor are
the rules do not reform fifth of their
inmates If state reformatories are
able to bring back into the fold of
grace one-half of the black sheep
which have broken away, the officials
probably consider that their work JUS
titles itself many times over.
Danger of Favoritism.
1t has not yet been decided whether
The Colorado statesman., 1922-04-22

1t has not yet been decided whether
the recommendation for the legislation
to make the Camp Grant institution
possible shall include in it provision
that the first offenders shall be sent
by the courts to existing federal pris-
ons, or whether the offenders shall be
sent direct to the reformatory.
There seems to be u division of opin-
ion in this matter. If the matter Of
the selection of federal prisoners in
the regular institutions for transfer to
the reformatories shall be left in the
hands of the wardens, favoritism may
play its part On the other hand, IL
this course is followed an opportunity
would be given to determine which of
the prisoners are best fitted for early
refprmatory methods.
If all the first offenders are to be
sent to the reformatory direct from
the scene of sentence it might receive
men past reform and whose example
would make difficult the reformation
of others more susceptible to guiding
influences.
1t is not known yet in Washington
definitely what strength of opposition
will develop to the plan for turning
Camp Grant into a reformatory, but it
seems likely today that authority will

school prison.

LAST LEGISLATURE
FIXED new CAPITAL
COST SAYS HALLANAN

The Intclligcncer is in receipt OF IN
following communication Of HoI
Walter :. HaIIanan Stat Tax Con
missioner:
Have noted the Inteligencer
editorial OF twcnty-first. relating
to the cost OF the new capltoI
building My statement contained
in Biennial report as to the ne
cessity for raising six and hall
million dollars for erection OF
new capitol was predicted upon
provision OF Section 24-J OF appro-
priation bill passed by the leEiSla-
ture of 1921, reading As follows:
Said commission Is authorized to
enter into contracts tor the above
named purposes for capitol Office
buildings and land in a total
amount Of not 10 exceed six mil
lion five hundred thousand dol
lars, plus the amount received by
the state as insurance Tor the de-
struction OF the old capitol build
Ing and the amount from the sale
OF land
Your editorial stated that the
amount OF money to be expended
for this purpose had never been
determined by the Legislature, but
this would appear erroneous in
view Of provision just cited. My
reference to the matter was only
prompted by the purpose to make
known the demands which the
state was facing from this I'M
provement, as well as the Virginia
debt liquidation and road develop
mcnt program"
WALTER s. HALLANAN,
State Tax Commissioner
The lnteligencer is fully aware o.
the acts Of the recent legislature. The
legislature did not determine the cost
Of the proposed capitol building by
an appropriation TO defray this
cost. The legislature did authorize
n expenditure of $6,500.000 for this
purpose but unless this authorization
an be considered as an appropriation
/ Is not binding on the next legisla
.ure; II It IS con Sidered as an appro
Driation. then II has lapsed, or Will
ave ,apsed when the next legislature
; convened. There is nothing TO hin
Ter the next legiS allure from making
whatever appropriations for the new
,apitol building it may deem fit. The
asst legislature has left no strings
binding the next legislature which can
lot be united.
The IntelliCenccr did not seek to
asst any reflection on Mr. Hallanan
II his work. II simply referred to
lin as having brought to light in his
biennial report the demands which
he state is facing from the erection
# new capitol building The Int IL
enCer commented on this fact, for
ike many individuals, It cannot see
he necessity for the people Of West
;ircinia to spend $S.oQ0,000 10 replace
