The last development is the amendment offered by the house ju diciary comnrttoe to the prison con trol bill, already passed the senate, for the measure to become effective in 1925. This amendment is aimed at preventing the General Assembly from legislating out of office the present sunerintendent. A. K. Sana ers. and members of the board of directors whose term do not end this year. The amendment wou,'d allow the elect on this year of the prison superintendent by the legislature, as heretofore, and also the election by the legislature this year of the three members of the hoard, to fill vacan cles occurring this year. After tnese terms expire, the amendment pro vides. the five hoard members would be appointed by the governor, this board to elect the superintendent. If the amendment carries the governor would appo nt the three members whose terms expire this year. It appears certain that the prison board bill will pass. It received a majority favorable report, signed bv Representative W. I). Barnett, o. Richland. There seems to he strong sentiment for the bill, and the house Is expected to adopt the amendment. ^Howover-Tvhether or not the amend meat passes is a matter of doubt.
