the board of supervisors the new tax levy
for the county must be established by the
supervisors and in the meanwhile County
Auditor Shaffer is preparing the necessary
data on which to establish this rate From
present indications it looks as though the
rate will be S1.65 in the city and about 50
in the county, as against s1.40 and $3.50 last
year. This, added to the city tax of 81 .25
and the 80 cents special school tax, will
make a tax rate of 1920 for the city tax
payers to take care of unless the super
vsors use the pruning knife considerably
This apparent increase in the rate is due
to the material reductions made in assess

DRIVING coNv1crs MAD
Inevitable Consequence Of the Nom
Employment Lunacy

The law of the state of New York
practically prohibits the employment Of
prisoners at any gainful or productive
industry. The exception is that the
state or the political divisions thereof"
not only may, but must buy prison made
goods whenever it is certified to them
that the prisons are preparing to supply
their requirements Under this provi-
sion of law the charities commissions
ers of Kings county have notified the va
rious municipal departments of Brook
| lyn of the goods. the Kings county penn
| tentiary was prepared to supply.
| The orders they received were trif1ing
| in amount. Since the new law went into
| effect at the begirnipg of the year, the
warden has been able to furnish em-
ployment of any KIND for but 300 out or
| the 700 inmates of the penitentiary. Ths
others. the majority, have been locked
| in their separate cells and left to their
| own resources. They were merely de-
| tanned. They haG no opportunity to
| exercise their faculties at any work.
They had no pportunities to acquire
ar,y handicrafts that might have fitted
! them to be self supporting citizens after
! their release. They were condemned BY
! the law to the frightful combination OF
| idleness ard solitude.
| The natural results have followed.
| Seven of the convicts have been official
| ly declared to be insane, and two more
are in a condition of which similar
| declaration is expected The insane con-
| victs have been removed from the peul-
| tentiary to an asylum.
! The wonder is not that so many, but
| that so few, of the convicts have sue
| cumbed to the appalling ordeal to which
| the legislature at the behest of organ
+! lied labor" has condemned them. It 10
ar. ordeal to which no man and no asso-
citation of men has right to condemn q
man. To take away a mans life is justi-
| fable when he has forfeited it, But to
| take away his reason is never allowa Die.
| Ard the bereavement of reason is tne
natural and almost inevitable result OF
locking up by himself an able-bodicd
and active-minded. mar during his wax
| ing hours as we'll as in his sleeping
hours and leaving him to brood. Even
the unproductive and dreamy round OF
the treadmill is better than this, which
is now the legal punishment for crime In
| the state of New York 1t is cruel AND
unusual" an inhuman and devilish pun
ishment. The insane victims of organ
izeos Ia Dor" in the Kings county peniten-
| tiary make an appeal to humanity 1or
the repeal of the law which has con-
demned them to such fate. Tnat ap-
neal cannot be disregarded except to the
shame of the state.-New York Times.
