The Convict Lease Question.

There is great deal being said
at present about the leasing of the
state convicts. It seems that the
new commissioner of agriculture
has advertised for bids that must
be made within certain limits and
restrictions, and the result of the
awarding was expected to be an
nounced ere this date. An effort
has been made TO let the state reap
a larger benefit from leasing these
convicts by naming a minimum
amount that will be acceptable,
which ought to reimburse the state
by $50, 600 or SIS, 900 more at least
than has been received heretofore
annually from this source.
Undoubtedly there is a large
profit in the labor of these crimi-
mails as the demand for them comes
far and near, both from turpentine
and lumber manufacturers who
now compete against the phosphate
interests for these laborers.
Whether the legislature will
make any radical changes in the
convict lease system at the coming
session remains to be seen, but the
lawmakers, when they take up
this question, will have a difficult
matter to consider.
In the meantime this affair is
getting into quite a legal tangle.
Certain parties claim to have a
valid contract with the commits
sioner of agriculture for 800 con-
victs at 500 per head per annum
for four years, commencing Jan.
1st, 1902. The claim is made that
this contract has been approved by.
the board of state institutions, and
that the parties interested, Messrs.
E. E. West and w. N. Camp, will
insist on the enforcement of the
contract in the courts, if necessary.
Assuming that the facts are as
above stated, it seems highly prob
able that the case will be carried
into court.
1t seems to us that as the legis-
lature is expected to take up the
question of leasing convicts that it
would have been better to leave
the leasing until after the legisla-
ture had adjourned, and now to
have a legal notice served of
former contract having been made
will probably tie the question up
In the courts so that the legislature
cannot enact a law that will be-
come operative until over four
years time has expired. -
Future developments on the sub
ject will probably be interesting
reading for the people of this state.
