WARDEN IDAHO PEN
RESIGNS POSITION
FOLLOWS ESCAPE OF CONVICTS-
EXPERIENCED MAN HUNTERS
ON CONVICTS' TRAIL.

Boise, Idaho.=Warden w. l.. Cuddy
has resigned as directing head of the
Idaho state penitentiary, following the
escape of five prisoners from that
institution Wednesday evening, but
the board of prison commissioners
refused to accept his resignation but
relieved him of responsibility because
of illness. He is now in the hospital
here. George Roberts, one of the
travelling guards and formerly of
Lewiston, has been placed in charge.
Dan Ack1ey, deputy warden, also
placed his resignation in the hands
of the commission, but the commits
sion declined to accept it and he was
prevailed on to remain at duty for
the next 80 days.
Five convicts escaped from the
Idaho pentitentiary early Wednesday
evening, by saving their way from
cells, overpowering guards and seal
ing the wall.

most wholesale escape has brought
to light a condition which citizens
declare calls for drastic action. Riots
and insubordination on the part of
prisoners, discoveries of hacksaws
upon their persons, and disquieting
rumorS of violence planned among
them have been told by guards and
officials. Those who escaped were
considered incorrigible and their PAST
records both in and out of prison
were of the worst among the entire
personnel of the penitentiary, author

No trace had been found Thursday
afternoon of any of the five who es-
capped. AT dawn prison guards found
tracks of the men and followed them
from where they had jumped over the
wall to a thicket of brush near the !

DR.. BRYAN To QUIT
AS COMMISSIONER
EDUCATOR CAN'T ACCEPT PRO
POSAL TO PROVIDE SALARY
FEARS FOR SYSTEM.

Boise, Misunderstanding that the
state educational system has been
ruthlessly wrecked by actions of the
last legislature, DR.. E. A. Bryan, state
commissioner of education, issued a
formal statement to the press, giving
the reasons why he could and would
not accept the proposal of the North
Idaho chamber of commerce to con
tinue the work in his office.
One of the acts of the last legisla-
ture was to refuse to appropriate
funds for DR.. Bryan's salary after
July 1 of this year. Recently, at a
meeting of the North Idaho chamber
of commerce in st. Maries, a pro-
posa1 was made to raise $4,000 from
personal subscriptions to pay the
state officials salary for the two-year
period. His statement concerning the
chambers offer follows:
"I appreciate fully the action Of
the North Idaho chamber of com
merce, in it's proposal to raise $4,000
to provide for the continuation of the
work of commissioner of education
after July 1. AS a mark of personal
confidence and approval, it is very
naturally gratifying. Far more i'm
portant, however, is the evidence of
realization of the serious menace
to our educational system and the
willingness to make personal sacri-
flee to protect it against harm.
"Of course, everyone will realize, l
think, how utterly impossible it
would be for me to accept such po-
sition on the basis of personal con-
tributions to the salary. First, be-
cause it is the duty of the state to
pay it's servants, and, second, because
the burden on the donors would be
unfair, and unjust; and, third, be-
cause, however magnanimous the
donors might be. the sense of being
beholden to individuals for a state
service would be distasteful to any
man.
zone of the sad things" continued
DR.. Bryan, "about this iniquitous
business is the fact that so many peo-
pie look upon it as a personal mat
ter-the loss of faithful servant,
the loss of a job and the like. AS a |
matter of fact, these things are of
small concern to the general pub /!
lie. The serious questions are the
wrecking of the educational
system of the state and the iniquity
oy which that was accomplished |
Whatever rehabilitation may be pos /
sible in the future there can be no
question as to the wreck of the sys-
.em. That a trap should be sprung

lfter the frontal attack on the system /
lad been driven into a corner and
lad utterly failed. thus by bargain
md sale, full of hishonor to the leg
stature and state accomplishing the
malicious designs of a few, is sad
on free representative
government.
"No,' concluded DR.. Bryan, deep
v concerned as I am for the educa-
iona1 welfare of the state and the
growth of her institutions, and ap-
,reciative as I am of the action of
he North Idaho chamber of COM
nerce and many other friends of the
,ause and of myself, | could not ia
-orably consider such a proposal" =

NORMAL ASKS
MORE MONEY
Valley City Institution Over
Crowded, Says President

With more than double the en-
rollment of two years ago the VAL
ley City Statc Teachers College
needs greater rather than a small
err appropriation for the next bien-
MUM than for the last one, accord
ing to DR.. c. f. Allen, president, in
addressing the house appropriations
committee.
In this particular case DR.. Allen
had figures to show that the total
winter and summer enrolment of
the Valley City school was S3S in
1921; that it has risen to about 1000
for this year.
The 1921 biennial appropriation
was $3S2,S86 two years ago, he
said; this year $322,230 was recon-
mended.
One fact that came up during Dr..
Aliens session with the committee
was that the Valley City College
is overcrowded while some of the
other normal schools of the state
have not as many students as they
could handle.
The committee discussed the pos
sibilty, in this connection, of direc.
tion by the state as to where the
students shall 60. There was some
questions as to the advisability of
doing so. Some of the committee
! members thought it would be going
too far to tell students where they
must attend normal school.
But many of the committees con-
sidered that there is a need for such
direction to take the flow of stud
ents where they could be taken care
of.
There was a discussion on the
matter of advertising when DR.. AL
len spoke of the need for certal,
allowance for printing bulletins.
! "Why advertise for students yol
can't take care Of" asked Chairman
] Watt.
"Well the ideal situation woul,
be to select only the ones best fit
ted to become teachers, from I
large teachers, from large mum
ber applying for admission sai'
DR.. Allen.
"We are hard on these institu
tons which want to advertise TO
more students than they can TAX
care Of" declared the chairman 9
the committee.

NEW RISK LAW
PROPOSED FOR
N0RTHDAK0TA
Would Provide for Insurance
To BE Carried in Private
Companies
COMMISSION CHANGED

Two bills affecting the Workmen's
Compensation Bureau were before
the house of representatives today.
One measure introduced by A. B..
jackson of Devils Lake calls for a
complete new method in the opera
tion of the department, while the
other introduced by Thorwald Rus
tad of Richland county would let
down the bars to employers to pur-
chase their protection from private
corporations.
The Jackson measure, document
of some $4,000 words, goes into the
most minute details of the opera
tion of a state industrial insurance
department. According to the au-
thor, his proposed statute is COM
bihation- Of the chief features OF
the New Jersey and the Minnesota
industrial insurance laws which arc
claimed to be typical of the best
laws and practices followed by pri-
vate and state organizations.
The measure abolishes the pres
appointive and two ex-officio men,
bers. In place it calls for one COM
missioner who shall be acting man.
ager of the Workmen's Compensa-
ton department and two ex-officio
members, the commissioner of agri-
culture and labor and the commits
sioner of insurance, the former .o
be chairman of the board, the ap-
pointed manager, the secretary at
So 900 per annum. Provision is made
for the appointment of division OF
department heads and broad powers
are given in the matter of conduct
ing Investigations.
The bill among other things pro-
vides for complete schedule OF
compensations for various injuries
diseases, accidents, permanent OF
| partial disabilities, etc.
Chief of the changes made is that
the actual writing of insurance, col
lection or premiums and awards i:
eliminated, the department func'
tioning wholly to see that employ
ers secure, pay for and carry in
surance on their employees in some
reputable standard company which
makes a business of writing tina
type of insurance.
The bill further provides that tn
| surplus fund or balance which ha
been collected since the inception
| of the Workmen's compensation bu
reau which is now over one million
dollars, shall be turned in to tn
general fund Of the state for sucl
purposes as may develop, and whicl
the author claims would for at leas
one year tend to cut the amount o
the required levy for state purposes
The measure by Thorwald Rusta
of Richland is that sponsored by tn
Associated Industries of North Da

This measure also repeals the com
pulsory payment of insurance pre-
miums to state department, leav

Bonds Based Upon Per-

In Bill
OTHER INDUSTRY BILLS

A bill embracing the administra-
'tion plan of financing the Grand
Forks mill and elevator project Of
the state will be introduced in the
legislature, probably tomorrow, in
which the Legislature will be asked
to provide way for the raising Of
$600,O0O to $l,000,000 to serve as
working capital for the project.
The bonds would be based upon
security of personal property, wheat
and flour manufactured at Grand
Forks. The bill, it is understood,
will be presented in manner sat
isfactory to bond attorneys whose
pproval is held necessary to facill.
tate the marketing of the bonds.
This bill, together with the meas
ure already introduced providing
for the creation of board of man
ayers for the Grand Forks mill and
providing for sale of the Drake mill,
embraces the mill and elevator as.
sociation program before the legis-
lature.
The milling business would be
limited for the present to the Grand
Forks project, project of such size
that the general manager, &C. E.
Austin, estimated the turnover whar
operating at full capacity, would be
between $6,OO0,0OO and $4,000, 900
year.
Bank of North Dakota Bill
One more bill regarding the Bank
of North Dakota will complete the
administration program in the legis-
lature on rural credits and the bank
operation. This bill, probably to be
introduced today, will provide that
bonds issued for the purpose Of
making real estate loans may be
made to mature 30 years from this
year. A constitutional amendment
will be offered by Senator Kaldor,
to be voted on in 1924, permitting
the issuance of bonds for rural Gre
dts which mature on period based
upon the time of making loans.
Section of the law Of 1919 pro-
viding for the issuance of real es-
tate series bonds, on which farm
loans are made, provides that: "The
bonds shall be issued in de-
nominations of from five dollars tc
ten thousand dollars and shall be
payable in not less than ten or more
than thirty years from passage oi
this act. The constitution says:
Every law authorizing bond issue
: shall provide for levying an annual
tax, or make other provision, suffi.
cient to pay the interest semi-an.
nually, and the principal within sc
years from passage of such law
Under these provisions, it is held
farm loan bonds may be made tt
mature 30 years from 1919. Sinc'
farm loans mature the same time a:
the bonds, the amortization perioc
under the law can be only 80 years
from 1919, and not from 1928 or an!
other year. Loans made in 1923 mus
mature in 27 years, it is therefore
held.
