commission of the crime with which
he is charged.
His normal or abnormal person.
atty traits are not considered. Yet
they are of more Importance from
the viewpoint of society than the
mere fact of the guilt of the man.
They determine what to expect Of
him.
Treated as Mental Case
"In case of serious personality de-
fects, expectation of satisfactory
readjustment is small. 1t would be
more reasonable to sentence such a
person for an indeterminate period
without maximum limit. the only
provisO being that he be treated as
mental case and paroled only on
recommendations of pSychiatrist
or other competent persons"
Some men who had committed re-
latively unimportant crimes might
be kept for life, the Governor points
out. Others who had committed
more serious crimes, under an indie
terminate sentence policy, might
not be kept as long as they now are
kept.
Gov. McNutt has stated that he
favors the establishment Of a state
sentencing, clemency and parole
court. Such a recommendation is
reported to have been, made to him
by the prison survey committee of
experts whom he called in to study
Indiana institutions.

HIGHWAY BOARD
SEEKS INCREASE
IN ROAD FUNDS
Larger Share of Gasoline
Tax and Fees Urged at
Joint Hearing.

Methods whereby the State High
way Commission would receive in
creased revenue of S4,325, 900 by
changes in distribution of gasoline
tax and auto license fees were pro-
posed last night by commission
members at a joint meeting of the
roads committees of the House and
Senate.
James D. Adams, commission
chairman, and John w. Wheeler
commissioner, explained the five
point proposal as follows:
Each county would get an equal
share of one-fourth of the auto
license fees.
Proceeds of 1 cent of the gasoline
tax would be dividend among the
counties, distributed on basis of
one half in proportion to county
road mileage and one-half in pro-
portion to population.
Thinks Cities Burdened
The commission would get three
fourths of the Accent tax instead of
the present one-half.
In return, the commission would
take over all town and city streets
now part Of the state system.
"It is not just for towns and cities
to be responsible Tor the upkeep of
streets mainly used by tourist
traffic." said Mr.. Adams. TOO
much load falls on the AUDITING
property owners"
While admitting that the pro-
poSd change in distribution was not
without flaws, Mr.. Wheeler said
that it was the most equitable plan
yet devised.
Weiss Approves Change

every one" he declared. But this
method is far better than the pres
ent one, in our opinion"

He went on to explain that the
tramp printer never had what
might be termed steady job. He
always substituted for a regular
printer.

got to calling me Grasshopper.

FORGETS PROMISE TO
REFORM, 'MO0CHES'
FROM JUDGE; JAILED

Ed Gelerlein, 80, of "a S. Illi-
nois-St, was ready to start a $780,
day sentence on the Indiana State
Farm today because he made the
unfortunate mistake Of attempting
to beg money and cigaretS from
Municipal Judge Charles Karabell
and hour and a half after the
judge had suspended his sentence
on a drinking charge.
Ed, who has been arrested 10
times in the last four years on
drunk or vagrancy charges, es-
capped conviction last Monday be-
cause he promised the judge to
reform. Later, Ed imbibed too
freely and tried to mooch from
Judge Karabell on a downtown
street corner.
Hailed into court yesterday for
drunkenness, Ed did not remem-
Der the incident.
Judge KarabeIl did.

Amazing irregularities are
revealed by an analysis by the
Indiana Governmental Econ
omy Commission of sentences
imposed on prison and re-
formatOry inmates.
For example. Gov. Paul v. Nc
points out in a resume Of his prison
reform belief, there we're as first
offenders sentenced to the reforma-
tory for auto bandltry. Their sem
fences reveal the following dispari-
ties:
Thirty-two we're sentenced for 10
years, three for II years, two for IS
years, two for IS years, four for l
to 10 years, one for 5 to 81 years
and two for 10 TO 25 years.
-Four of these men probably will
be paToled after serving a year or
a little more, while two of them will
have to remain 25 years, unless they
are pardoned or their sentences are
committed.
Sentences for recidivistS show the
same irregularities as those for first
offenders. For example, two men
who had served previous sentences
for felony received flat sentences of
Is years each for auto banditry, but
one fortunate bandit who had
served four sentences for felony and
one for misdemeanor received only
an 11-year sentence for auto ban
ditry.
Fit Punishment to Criminal
Another favored bandit, it A.;
pointed out, had served two previous
sentences for felony and one for
misdemeanor got only l to 10 years.
Only 10 men in the Indiana State
Prison have been sentenced under
an habitual criminal law which In
diana has had for many years, but
367 others in the state prison have
as bad or worse records than the
unfortunate 16. and yet have not
been sentenced under the habitual
criminal at.
The Governors penal theory is
one Of fitting the punishment to the
criminal instead of the traditional
policy of fitting the punishment to
the crime.
"A comparative study Of sentences
for first offenders ara recidivistS
for Is different oIfenSeS," the Gov
ernor points out, reveals no we'll
defined tendency on the part of the
courts OF give heavier sentences to
recidivists than to first offenders"
Penal Servitude Fails
1t is apparent that penal servi-
tude has not made good citizens of
the recidivists, the Governor points
out.
Among the repeaters, it is highly
probable that large numbers are, in
some degree, psychiatric cases. None
of those in the refOrmatory has
been pronounced insane, but the re-
peated criminal behavior of these
recidivistS is good preSumptive evil
dence that their mental processes
deviate considerably from those of
normal citizens.
