to confuse the dear people just be-

mb* Echo man is again trailing with
the Journal Editor for clean town, a
law-enforcement (own, the kind of a
town that Percy Brinker, old Sul-
phur Springs boy, and Mayor George
Sergeant stand for.
The Dallas News, of which State
r-fii-cn
Press is Edit6r-in-chief, says:
FOR AN INFORMED VOTE
ili

m:
A persistently repeated error in
American democracy Is the desire to
get out a large vote. Not that there
is anything wrong with the entire
mass of American citizenship exer-
cising the right of franchise, when
that fa done in entire understand-
ing. The gOkl fa n TOO per cent in-
formed vote. Democracy functions
best when all of the qualiifed voters
are capable of straight thinking, do
think straight and vote intelligently
and unselfishly.
In Tuesday’s Dallas city election,
there I* a short ballot In which two
men offer for each place. The civic
records, public and private, of all of
these gentlemen arc open to inspec-
tion. There should be no difficulty
in forming an estimate of how you
wish to vote. The informed vote of
the city should be cast at full
strength. The rest should stay sway
from the polls.
Surely no appeal to an informed
voter, however, is Mr. Brignadollo’s
assertion for the Forward-Legion
group that the present council ma-
jority should he re-elected in cyder
to preserve a ‘Tiberai" Dallas against
a bluenosc city. If what Mr. Brigna-
dello terms a hluenose town is one
that drives out the marble board, the
slot machine, the bookie preying on
gullible ignorance, the street prosti-
tute and tha lftfld tiight spot dis-
Chietgo. — The Illinois Prison In-
quiry Commission recommended to
Governor Henry Homer Sunday re-
organization of the state prison sys-
tem by “consolidation into one ad-
ministration unit of all the factors surprised,
having to do with punishment,” in-
cluding probation, incarceration, pa-
role and superviaion after release.
The recommendation was the .ma-
jor point fin a 884-page report, con-
taining jhore than 250,000 words,
summarizing a year of investigation
by arj^/ight-member board, serving
t pay.
Col. Henry Barrett Chamberlin,
managing director of the Chicago
Crime Commission, directed the in
veetigation.

The single administering unit pro-
prosed by the commi&ion would be
known as the “Illinois Board of
Prison Administration." It would
comprise firi* full-time members,

“This board would have authority
over the entire prison system, su
perseding all other agencies and be-
ing responsible for the employment,
discharge and discipline of employes
who are to be appointed under
proper civil service authority.”
Other general recommendations of
the commission included:
Construct no more prisons of the
"fortress type.”
Construction of two new units of
the “mediam security” type to be
developed as pre-parole institutions.
Substitution of civilian employes
for prisoners in work of a confi-
dential nature, such as correspond
ence, telephone and records.
Checkup Requested.
Closer checkup on the progress
of prisoners.
Study of the fire hazards in all
branches of the penitentisry.
Use of prisoners in road construc-
tion and payment of wages, with
preference given those who have de-
pendents.
Establishment of full time educa
tiortal and recreation directors in
every branch of the prison, and dis-
continuance of inmate instructors.
A reconstructed system of uni
form rules, privileges and treat-
ment, wijh abolishment or minimum
use of solitary confinement.
Better medical and surgical equip-
ment and expansion of the medical
staff.
Reorganization of the prison in-
dustry.

TO GOME BEFORE
THE LEGISLATURE
(By Byron C. Utecht in Star-
Telegram.)
Austin, April 18.—The Legislature
this week wili begin floor operations
upon major appropriation bill*, with
partmenls and $17,000,000 to state
colleges for the- biennial period. The
issue is whether the pruning knife
will be used or the amounts increas-
ed. At that, the Senate Finance
Committee has reduced the total $2,-
000,000 under the amount allowed
two years ago for state departments.
There wijl be more discussion and
^dispute over the departmental ap-
propriations than any other money
measure, though a subcommittee has
been working day and night to get
the bill in shape, using the knife
with such effect that some reduc-
tions are certain to be protested, in
spite of the economy drive.
The bili, as turned into the Sen-
ate by Senator Redditt of Lufkin,
chairman of the finance committee,
consists of 79 printed pages, item-
izing all departmental expenses
worth analyzing. Since the House
has not yet turned out any major
bills except the judiciary, it Is pre-
dicted it will get the Senate measures
before its own.
The departmental bill, now before
the Senate and ready for action, ap-
propriates a little more than $10,
000,000 n year for all departments.
Here are some of the totals for the
biennial:
Senate Monday, and 6i the $17,213,
000 asked there are several new
buildings proposed, one of them a
$300,000 library for Texan Techno-
logical College, Lubbock.
The bill is approximately $2,000,-
000 more than the 1936-37 appropri-
ations, but there has been an in-
crease in the number of students.
The proposed appropriation is but
little more than the 1931-32 bill. For
teachers’ salaries and maintenance,
the bill calls for nearly $14,000,000
for the two years, while the 1930-37
item was for $9,000,000. Back in
1932, this appropriation for mainte-
nance and teachers salaries was close
tp $13,000,000. t
Total enrolment in.1938 and 1937
was 31,678 compared to 25,542 in
1931 and 1932. * ’)
The per cent of increase of en-
rollment Over 1932 is 26.1 and the
increase in salaries and maintenance
in the present bill-over 1932 is8 per
cent.
The finance committee used as a
basis for all college appropriation
$176 per student in the freshman
and sophomorfj classes and $226 for
junior's and- seniors. Each student
was allowed $25 extra for technical
work. It also allowed a 10 per cent
differential for colleges with less
than 750 students, and only 30-hour
semester students were . allowed in
the basis,
“For these reasons," Senator Nel-
son of Lubbock and Senator Wood-
ruff of Decatur explained, “it will
\ stop the grab bag system for appro-
priations and it will not be necessary
for college deans and presidents to
come here and plead and lobby. Nor
will it be necessary now for any
members to complain upon the floor
that they are being discriminated

These take care of the major ap-

ed at this time that tho Legislature
will appropriate around $60,000,000
which will be an increase over the
record of two years ago. But this
docs not represent the entire coat of
government. For instance, the High-
way Department depends chiefly on
the motor fuel tax of about $38,-

the appropriations. ••

from $5,000 to $4,000; A. E. Wood,

Salaries of the average run of
