Lee Does Not Favor
Having Inmates Work
Out Sums of Money

Proposals TO sentence men to work
out a definite sum Of money in the
penitentiary rather than to sentence
them for Il stated period Of time
meets with little favor from John
Lee, warden of the state prison here.
The plan, rs proposed by a magazine
would make numerous other changes In
prison management. Lee recently re-
ccived Il copy Of the plan with re-
quest that he comment on it but To
date has failed to make any official
declarations.
The present plan Of handling pris-
oncrs. Lec believes, meets the needs
Of the North Dakota situation about
rs we'll AZ anything that has been
devised The difficulty with scntcnc-
ing men to work out il sum Of money,
he said, is that it is not certain that
prison labor would be as productive
rs ether laborin view of the restrc-
tions which surround it. "Until
money had been earned you couldn't
justly credit prisoner with it," lee
said. ale might work hard but I'M
less his work resulted in profit or
the accumulation of money or goods
one couldn't say no had earned it,"
Difficult Task
Another difficulty, he said, would
be that Of melting out justice to the
prisoners in the assignment Of Jobs
and the difficulty which judges would
face in parccling out just sentences.
The present system, he said, per-
anits a prisoner to get ''good time"
and extra good time" as a reward
for honest work and strict observance
Of the prison rules.
"a mans record is taken into ac-
count by the pardon board in pas sing
on applications for pardon" Lee ex-
planned.

shall be replaced with a situation
under which there would he practical
certainty Of capture and punishment,
for offenders.
Under the present conditions, the
state has no facilities for dealing
with the type Of ycgg and bandit
that has been engaged In North Da-
kota. The counties are not equipped
to handle the work, yet the whole
burden OF tracing criminals and
bringing them to justice lies with the
counties"
Other Recommendations

for the state bureau Of criminal in
vcstigation are other recommends
tions including:
Adoption Of an act that will pro-
vide severe penalties for "repeaters,"
patterned after the Baumc Act of
New York. though probably not quite
so drastic.
Restoration Of capital punishment
for murder, with more severe pen
altics imposed on criminals who re-
sort to arms in carrying on their
work.
Adoption Of the uniform automo-
bile anti-theft and title certificate
net.
Reduction Of the period Of appeal
in criminal cases, and transfer Of the
power of granting extensions from
the district courts to the supreme
court.

POISON LIQUOR
KILLS 800 IN
NY. THIS YEAR
CONTINUED from page ons)

Under the old formula, two per cent
of wood alcohol is used.
Complete Enforcement Impossible
The decision not to use poisons in
dangerous quantities is based on a
conviction Of Secretary Mellon that
complete prohibition enforcement is
impossible. He thinks that as en-
forcemert grows stronger, bootleg
gers and drinkers will turn to bad
alcohol and other substitutes. He is
not willing that the government
should poison these substitutes to
enforce the law and believes other
connections can be placed in them
to prevent their use.
Improved prohibition enforcement
under the administration Of Assist
art Sncrc4a~v Andrews is believed
by Mr.. Mellon to have resulted in
the use Of industrial alcohol by boot
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1926-12-30

leggers and in the consequent poi
sonlng OF some drinkers. He does
not believe, however, that any pro
portion of the numerous holiday al
coholic deaths resulted from use
of poison alcohol and believes cX-
cessivt drinking was more likely
cause.
The international revenue law re
quires the government to denaturc
industrial alcohol so as to prevent
its use as beverage, on which much
higher taxes are levied. The treas
airy secretary intends to enforce that
law and government chemists de-
clare wood alcohol must be used as
one Of the denaturants, but Mr.
Mellon hopes that this chemical can
be dropped down so that it will not
be injurious to drinkers.

Football Played
BY u. Professor

New York, Dec. 30-P)-Intercol-
legiate football was attacked today
as IA breeder of manifold evils by
+. H. wilkins, University Of Chicago
professor.
Speaking before the annual conven-
ton Of the National Collegiate Ath-
letic Association, he indicted the
game on five counts, charging that it
produces over excitement among the
students, distorts their sense #
values, intensifies the drinking evil,
fosters betting, and prompts sur
rentitious maintenance Of players.
Professor Wilkins suggested that
these alleged conditions could be
remedied by limiting players to only
one year Of competition, or two at
the most; by cutting schedules to a
four game basis or providing only
for competition between class teams.
