STONE WORKED BY CONVICTS.
II Cannot be Used in the Construction
Of a State Building.
Attorney-General Fitzgerald's Opin-
ion on the Affiliated Colleges
Contract.

Recently the Regents of the State
University awarded to the Rae Building
Company the contract for the stone
work in the construction of the Affili-
ated Colleges buildings, which COM
pany's bid was based on granite from
the Folsom quarries The contract was
submitted to the Attorney General and
he declares that it is illegal because
the State cannot use material prepared
by convict labor. He says:
''The contract between the Regents of
tie University Of California and the
Rae Building and Contracting Company
Of San Francisco for masonry work
contains the following provisions: The
contractor agrees to
furnish the necessary labor and mate
rials REQUIRED. and to
perform and complete in a workman
like manner all the masonry work of
the Affiliated Colleges buildings of said
University Of California, all stone-work
to be of Folsom granite ETC. This is
direct agreement between the Regents
Of the University and this corporation,
that the stone-Work of the Affiliated
Colleges buildings shall be of granite
quarried by the convicts of the Folsom
State Prison.
Section q of Article 10 of our State
Constitution provides that the labor
OF convicts shall not be let out by con-
tract to any person, copartnership,
company or corporation, and the Leg
islature shall by law provide for the
working of convicts for the benefit of
the State 1t was the evident intcn-
ton of the trainers of our Constitution
that contractors should not be allowed
to benefit by convict labor, either di-
rectly or indirectly, and the only man
rer in which the Legislature is author
lied TO provide by law for the employ
Ilent of our State convicts is for the
benefit Of the State
Therefore 1 am of the opinion that a
contract which contemplates the pro-
curement by a contractor Of stone
quarried by convict labor is in direct
violation Of the spirit of this constitu-
tiOnal provision. For this reason
cannot approve the contract in ques-
ton until that clause is eliminated.
I am aware that by Section IS of an
Act entitled, An Act to regulate and

USES OF HOSPITALS.

! Escd of Legal Enactment for the Benefit
of Injured Persons.
Every year enormous sums of money
sre put into hospitals. and almost every
/ day something new is devised and fur
rished, in order to add to the comfort
| of victims of misfortune or disease.
| And yet, with everything at hand to
| insure the most approved treatment
! end the best care, it is often impossible
| TO induce injured persons to take adj
vantage of the conveniences provided
for them.
1t is possible for board of physicians
to decide when patients shall be sent
20 asylums, or when it is best to remove
them on account of contagious dis
eases, but there seems to be no author
ity to take them to hospitals when they
are suffering from accidents, even OF
the most painful and dangerous char
acter.
A case in point, which is only one OF
many, proving the need OF some legal
enactment on this subject, was that
of workingman who was picked up
not long ago very seriously hurt in
runaway accident. he had intelligence
enough left to protest against being
taken to the hospital. and those who as
sisted him were foolish enough TO give
him his way. He was taken home, and
persistently refused to be removed,
even on the assurance of the physician
that it was almost absolutely necessary
to his recovery TO be taken out of his
uncomfortable surroundings.
With the stopping of bis work his in,
come ceased, and be and his family were
dependent upon the tender nercies OF
outsiders for maintenance. Instead Of
going 10 the hospital where he would
have proper care, he determinedly
fought against the idea. until in despair
1t was abandoned. With il went most
of the interest of the doctor and those
who had kindly cared for him.
If il had been the man alone who suf-
fered, very little thought would have
been given TO his case, but he had al
invalid wife, q most worthy and ad-
1uirabie little woman whom every body
liked. and a family Of little children
all huddled together in the tiniest OF
rooms. II the man had been stricken
with a contagious disease that might
have affected the neighoors, Re could
have been removed, but because he in
jured only himself and wore his faith
full wife TO deaths door, taxing her
strength until IL is matter of doubt
whether she ever RECEIVERS from IL moth
