Foreign Representatives SMALL, SPENCER, BREWER ncorporated) CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Prison Labor In its suggestions for new treat- ment of the state's criminal problems, North Dakota's judicial council ob- served that idleness is the rule rath- er than the exception among prison- ers in county jails and that penolog- ists generally consider it an un- mitigated evil. Explanation is made that a prison- er who sits idle in jail is generally worse off when he leaves than when he entered and is less fit to take his place in society. make jails breeders rather than pre- ventives of crime. «+ $7.20 . 2.50 enterprises have not shown a profit, however, speaks for itself. The report places the whole trans- Portation issue squarely before the People. It calls for the utmést in understanding and leadership, both private and governmental, if this leader among the nation’s industries is to prosper. A Tarnished Jewel It is always easier to criticize than to construct but the recent report of @ congress committee against the government's business activities does call to mind that consistency is rather a tarnished jewel in our public affairs. For example, the government now is financing railroads through the Re- construction Finance Corporation and ,is restricting their profit-making pos- | sibility by cumbersome regulation. It j begs the farmer to reduce his acreage —and at the same time lends him money to put in more crops. It claims that the tremendous acreage planted makes agriculture unprofitable—and supplies additional acres by reclama- {tion and irrigation projects. It taxes | the profits of business to support the | government—then competes with busi- |ness to keep those profits down. | ‘There are hundreds of other in- ‘ consistencies in minor detail, as near- ‘ly everyone can testify who has had} dealings with the government. | { The voter once was guilty of cor- | responding inconsistencies. He want- ed tax reduction—and greater expen- ditures of public funds; he voted bond issues—and howled about his taxes. But the voter has come awake very acutely. More interested in his gov- ernment now and more active in its The result is to| affairs, he has quit expecting the im- possible. For him the game of polit- ical tiddle-de-winks is over. He is In 1929, according to the report,| better off. 1,903 prisoners were held in jails at a cost of $83,292.92. 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- bor. 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 a 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 a 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, Editorial Comment 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 well as to the inmates. To be successful a prison industry need not show large profits. If it “breaks even” it has served a use- ful purpose, that of aiding in the solution of a very important human problem.

To close every bank in a state means to put an immediate halt to business. Without the services of day becomes one in fact as well as in name. But it is a good deal better to have an eight;day respite throughout the entire state than disaster in many communities with banks permanently closed. Probably all of those banks will be able to pull through if pro- perly supported. Eight days will give the banks ample time to liquify some of their resources but, more impor- tant, it will give the public a chance to think it over and cool down. Some- times a holiday is a wonderful thing. | Eaitorials printed below show the | trend of thought by other editors, They are published without rega: | to whether they agree or disagr with The Tribune's policies, The Franco-British Flop ‘orl orl jegram) ‘The best news in world affairs in @ long while is the Geneva report that the Great Powers have dropped their pro-Japanese maneuvers and are prepared to support the no-recog- nition-of-conquest policy originally Promulgated by the United States and later accepted by the League's Lytton Commission. For a year and a half the Japanese militarists have been encouraged to new conquest by the failure of Great Britain and other powers to stand with the United States and smaller European nations for the sanctity of treaties, From the beginning the only way to check the Tokyo madness was to outlaw it by a world-united front. The British Tories prevented that. As a result the Nine Power Treaty, guaranteeing Chinese territorial in- tegrity, and the Kellogg anti-war pact have been broken by Japan without even diplomatic rebuke of the culprit.
