JUDGE TURNER TALKS
ON CONVICT LABOR
A Defense of the Old System of Convict Labor
and Explanation Of the New Are Presented.

the few largest counties one-half of
all the convict labor free of cost, and
at the same time permitted them TO
draw out of the state treasury an
amount of the net hire of the remain
der, equal in proportion to population
with the smaller counties, and restrict
ed the state control of such conVicts
as were employed by counties to that
exercised over misdemeanor conVicts.
Should Putnam county utilize her
quota of felony convicts, eleven in
number, upon the public roads, she
would lose from her common school
fund not less than $1,650.00 per annum,
on $4,000 per capita per annun, for
every year conViCts are so used and
would have to raise by direct taxation
not less then $153.00 per capita per
annum for each convict for mainte-
nance and salaries, making her labor
on roads cost 10000 per capita per an
mum, or more than twice the cost of
free labor for such work This price
for such labor. the county could not
afford to pay. and would find it more
profitable should it's grand jury de-
eide TO divert this fund from education
al purposes to road building, to take
its prorata in money and hire free Ia
Dor for road making
But, until her public schools have
been brought to a greater state of per-
lection than they are at present it
would be better not to disturb the
source of income, which. under present
legislation, cannot be increased by To-
cal taxation, than to so divert it to
making public highways. which can be
provided for by county and municipal
taxation. W
Judge Turner's speech was splendidly
received, and it is safely predicted that
Putnam county will not work her quota
of convicts upon the public roads. He
states that it Is his intention during
the next few months to make a SINH
lar speech in every section of the state,
in order that the people may be edu-
Gated upon this important question.
