CLAIM
Votaw Urges That All Able
Bodies Prisoners Be Put
to Useful Tasks.

The population OF Federal prisons
is Increasing so rapidly that more
housing space is badly needed, &C.
cording to a report submitted to
Attorney General Daugherty today
by Heber H. Votaw, superintendent
of prisons. Votaw also recon-
mended that steps be taken to pro-
vide useful employment for all able
bodied prisoners.
In the three principal Federal
prisons-Atlanta, Leavenworth and
Mcneil Island-and the several
smaller Government institutions,
there were confined on June 80,
1928, a total Of 1905 prisoners, an
increase of $40 over June 80, 1922.
On the 1905 prisoners held. on
June 80 this year, about 1880 were
reported in state of ''idleness or
semi-idleness."
''These can be put to useful en-
ployment," it was stated, eff Con-
gress will heed the plans Of the
Department OF Justice and author.

industries"
The cost Of maintaining the 5.616
prisoners confined in the three prin-
cipal prisons, exclusive of county
jails and State institutions where
some Federal prisoners are housed,
was STATS, 602 last year, compared
with $1,31S,637 for the support OF
$40 prisoners in the fiscal year
1929.
Eight hundred and twenty-nine
Federal prisoners were released on
parole during the fiscal year ending
June 80, as compared with 702 in
1922. The paroles Of forty-three
were terminated for violation of the
conditions of their parole, as COM
pared with seventy-three termina-
tons In 1929.

MOROSPROTEST
PHILIPPINE
I FREEDOM
Secretary Weeks Gets Note
Signed With Thumb Prints
OF Their "Headmen."
BY SEARS TAYLOR,
international News Service.

With the smudgy finger prints Of
village ''headmen" as signatures, a
document protesting against the
granting Of independence to the
Philippine Islands has been received
BY Secretary of War Weeks from
the Moro tribes, it was learned to-
day. The PROTEST will be submitted
to President Coolidge for his con-
gideration.
The objections of the Moros to
Philippines independence were set
forth in the message in clear and
concise langua sc, and 1t apparently
had been written by some one con-
versant with the English language.
The signature to the document
however, consisted Of the imprints
of the thumb of each Of the tribal
headmen, giving rise to the belief
that the Moros probably had only
the word of their interpreter that
their views on the subject were
being set forth as they wished
them to be.
Civil War Feared
While the message was not made
public, II is understood that the
Moros' chief objection to Philippine
independence was that civil war
would Immediately break out in the
islands between the nom Christian
tribes. located Cor the most part on
the Island Of Mlndanao, and the
Christian Filipinos of Luzon, IL the
guardian hand of the United States
was removed.
Civil war, they contend. would
eventually mean the determination
OF one of the two factions. mas
much as the Moros are for the
most part unarmed and morgan
tied. they would probably be the
ones to suffer defeat. On the
other hand, Mindanao, probably the
richest and largest island Of the
Philippine group is in the control
OF the Moros and there are in
Vulnerable non-C Christian tribes scat
tered throughout Luzon, the strong
hold Of the Christians.
If the Filipinos were able to cap
ture Mindanao it would be only
after a bitter struggle. Further
more, with the two largest and
most productive islands Of the
group aligned against each other
the independence of the islands
would not last long, it was pointed
out.
Revolt Against Christians.
Army officials declare that the
recent instruction Of the Moros
and other similar revolts are not
directed, as is generally supposed,
against the United States or Amer
lean soldiers, but against the Chris
tan Filipinos. These revo1ts, they
say, are inspired by the Moros
bitter hatred Of the soldiers OF the
constabulary and the Philippine
Scouts, all Of whom are native
Filipinos. The regular American
troops are only called into action
when the scouts and the constab-
ulary are unable to quell a revolt.
Army officers who have seen
extensive service in the Philippines
are Of the opinion that the fighting
strength of the Moro tribes has
always been underestimate and
that should the United States grant
independence to the islands, there
81 a possibility that the Moros.

tribes, could overthrow the inde-

Agriculture Report Indicates
Rents Have Not Jumped in
Same Proportion.

The amount of cash rents paid
on farms leased on a cash basis
has been compiled by the Depart
ment of Agriculture, based on CEN
sus returns for 1920, and indicate
land values generally have In
creased faster than rents. accord
ing to a statement issued today.
One Of the most striking results
of the inquiry is the variation
shown to exist between the proper
ton borne by farm rents to land
values in different parts Of the
country. In Iowa, in 1920, for
example, cash rents were only 3.2
per cent of land values, compared
with Sc per cent in Ohio. Rents
in the more recently developed agri-
cultural States are generally con-
siderably lower in proportion to
land valuations than is the case
in the older farming sections.
In States where a large percent

based on expectation of future in.
crease in farm land value, rents
constitute a relatively small cur
rent return on the valuation.
The inquiry brought out the
fact that farm tenancy is greatest
where land values have been in
|creasing most rapidly. There is a
considerably larger percentage Of
tenancy in Iowa, for example, than
in Ohio and Indiana. This Is be-
lieved to be due to the way the
land values are made up, rather
than to their absolute amounts.
Variations were found to exist
between farm rentels paid by white
but these differences are not be-
lieved to actually indicate any
modification Of the fundamental
laws of farm rent. Negroes, it
was pointed out, pay more rent
than white tenants because they
usually need considerable super.
