that they have not been alert to the

tendency to discount the claim that
unfair and unregulated competition Is
responsible for their woes. Neverthe.

Prison Labor

In its suggestions for new treat
ment of the states criminal problems,
North Dakota's judicial council OBJ
served that idleness is the rule rath-
er than the exception among prison.
ers in county jails and that penolog-
lists generally consider it an un-
mitigated evil.
Explanation is made that prison.
er who sits idle in Jail is generally
worse off when he leaves than when
lie entered and is less fit to take his
place in society. The result is to
make jails breeders rather than pre-
yentives of crime.
In 1929. according to the report,
1903 prisoners were held in jails at
a cost OF $83 ,29292. This sum was In
addition to the costs involved in plac-
ing the offenders behind the bars.
Except the benefits which come from
upholding the law, the counties re-
ceived nothing for this expenditure.
The prisoners did no work while in
"durance vile"
One reason for this situation is the
prejudice which long has existed
and with cauSe-against prison la
Dor. Another is the fact that most
jails contain too few men to make
it worth while to assign them to
work. A third is the lack of suitable
work for them.
The state legislature is considering
the same problem as it applies to
prisoners at the state penitentiary.
The state has twine plant but its
product has not been as much in de-
mand as before and the work provid-
ed for inmates is less. It has q big
farm. products of which are used at
the prison. and this gives employ
ment to many. But scores have little
or no employment there under
present conditions. They have only
to sit and brood over their troubles,
possibly think up ways Of escape, new
crimes or other things which will
bring good to neither them nor soci-
ETY. as a whole.
Among the industries suggested for
the prison are a coffin factory. a
leather-tanning works, a wool mill
and the manufacture of automobile
license tags.
All are eligible for consideration
without violating the very reasonable
standard which the legislature has
established for such proposals in past
years.
This, in brief, has been that any
industry operated at the prison
should not be such as to compete with
one already established and it should
be Of benefit to the people Of the
state as we'll as to the inmates.
To be successful q prison industry
need not show large profits. If il
breaks even" 1t has served a USE
ful purpose, that OF aiding in the
solution Of very important human
problem.

Identify Body As
Taxi War Victim

OAKLAND, Feb. 7. U.P)-The
body of a man identified as Ray
mond Walker, taxi drive missing
since December, was found in Oak
land estuary at the foot of Grove
street today.
His hands and feet were bound
by ropes and a mask covered his
face. The body had been in the wa
ter long time.
Police believed weights had been
tied to the ropes but worked off,
permitting the body to come to the
surface and be washed near shore
1t was discovered by member
of the crew of the coast guard
cutter Northland.
Walker, who was involved in a
taxicab war while working as a
strikebreaker for the yellow Cab
company, disappeared the same
night that Albert K. Scarborough
another cab driver, was murdered.
No trace of his whereabouts was
discovered until his body was found
today.

THIEF MEETS
QUICK DEATH

Paul H. Fleenor, 30, met death
last night beneath the wheels of
a moving locomotive which he at
tempted to board between the in
ternational boundary and the CAL
exico railway station with loot
taken from automobiles in the
border city.
One leg was severed when the
train passed over him after he lost
his footing. He was dragged 100
feet by the train. He was alive
when taken from the tracks and
sent to the county hospital in an
ambulance. He died, however,
soon after his arrival at the insti-
tuition. Death was attributed to
loss of blood, according to Coro-
ner Bert Underwood, who investi-
gated the case.
The bulk of the loot taken from
the machines is believed to have
been instrumental in causing him
to fall between the wheels of the
engine while attempting to make
his getaway with the stolen prop
erty. Two sofa pillows, tools and
a quantity of advertising material
were included in the stolen goods,
Underwood said, and today were
identified by the owners.
An examination Of Fleenor's per-
sonal effects revealed that he had
a mother, Mrs. Opal Fleenor, at
Oildale. Underwood telegraphed
her the news of her sons death.
The body is at Arnold's funeral
home while funeral arrangements
are pending. No inquest will be
held, Underwood said, as he took
testimony from those who were
present Immediately following the
accident.
Fleenor was discovered beneath
the train by H. M. Griffee, opera
tor at the Southern Pacific sta
ton at Calexico.

OPPOSE MOVE
TO CUT RATE
ON TOMATOES

Protest against any decrease in
the tariff on tomatoes was made
at yesterdays meeting of valley to-
inato growers which was held in
Calipatria under auspices of the
pea growers association, an organi-
zation for tariff protection and the
promotion of activities favorable to
the industry.
A telegram from Congressman
Phil D. Swing was read which
stated that hearing will be held
in Washington, D. c., on February
l3 to take up the question of re-
duction in the tariff on peas from
Mexico, the request having been
filed, according to information CIV
en- the growers, by the Southern
Pacific railway.
The local, growers decided to
work up all data on the question
and send it to the tariff commits
sion through the national farm
bureau office in Washington. Cop
les of the data will be sent to the
states representatives in Washing
ton.
E At Saturdays meeting of the
farm bureau directors that group
went on record as opposing any
reduction in tariff on tomatoes
adm today Scott B. Foulds, secre-
tary-manager of the bureau, stated
that the bureau would undoubtedly
telegraph a protest directly to the
tariff commission as we'll as to
