CONVICT BUILT RAILROADS.



LITTLE Rock, Ark, Dec. 2S. Gov. -.
elect Jones authorizes the statement
that in his inaugural message TO the
legislature he will recommend the
luilding of a railroad by convicts, and
that he will bend all his energies to lis
successful issue. 81 am very much i'm
pressed with the feasibility and practi-
cabiIi'y of the scheme" said the gov.
ernor-eect. "My idea is that there
should be two trunk lines, one north
and south, one east and west
This would open up vast resources
and lie of inestimablc value to all parts
of the state. l believe that in ten
years these lines would create reve-
nue. which would pay the taxes of the
state, and they could be operated at a
practically nominal expense. cannot
say that am in favor of the state
actually operating the roads, but after
they are built they can be leasel to
other parties"
