BUILDING
ROADS BY
CONYICTS
One Way tO Which Convict
Labor May Be Put With
out Competition

The benefits tc our state from the
possible outcome of the present move
ment set in motion by the recent ap
pointment Of state road commission
are inestimable. This commission was
provided for by the passage of the
last legislature Of senate concurrent
resolution No. 81, which provides for
committee of FIVE TO examine into
the feasibility of constructing ma
eademized road from Portland to the
south line Of the state, the work 10
be performed by convict labor. The
commission held it's initial meeting
September 20 affected its organization,
and already has committees at work on
the practical progress of its business.
1t is bound, however TO report ON the
feasibility Of the proposition, and will
render it's findings upon this point as
truly and honestly as upon any other.
This is a work that should receive the
encouragement and assistance Of every
citizen Of Oregon Nothing so greatly
improves a state or a country as good
roads, and no state has half enough OF
them. The very nature Of the question
at once places it beyond the contests
Of partisan politics, and nothing can
constitute a reason for opposition to
the movement save a possible objection
to the location. On this point IL should
be remembered that above and far be-
yond the technical premises Of the res
olutiOn, which has brought this first
commission into existence, and which
provides for a certain stretch Of road,
is the question of praetieability Of
employing the eonyicts on the roads,
If it Is practical to build one good
piece Of sufficient extent to demonstrate
the success of the venture, il win be
practical TO keep the eOnviets emr
plOyed in road-building for all time.
The principal argument in favor OF
the scheme is that n takes out Of com
petition with the free labor Of the
state by creating an entirely new field
Daily capital journal. (Salem, Oregon) 1903-1919, 1905-10-16

institutions TO give them reasonable
employment. It is an aid 30 reforma-
tion and tends to keep the prisoners
In n better state of health and con
tentment. And, too, as matter of
justice to the taxpayers, men and boys
who forfeit their liberty because of
law-breaking, should do something TO-
wards their maintenance.
There has ever been strong protest,
on the part Of the laboring world, 70
the employment Of prison labor, at amy
work that comes in direct competition
with the product of free labor. Hence
the employment of convicts in the
manufacture of any of the ordinary
commodities Of life, has been discour-
aged Only a part Of the convicts down
at Salem have been employed by the
Northwestern Stove Works; the re-
mainder, except during the past sum
mer, being in absolute idleness
To employ prison labor in road build
ing, competes in no sense with free Ia
Dor; for the roads built by this labor
would not otherwise be constructed It
is true, the state would derive no rev
enue from the employment of her en-
forced guests in this manner, but the
general public would reap the benefit
because of the improved highway.
1t probably would not be expedient
to take long term prisoners outside the
prison walls to labor, but short term
men, who would be allowed double time
when so employed, could be used in
this way with safety and with small
expense.
If tho state finds the plan of convict
labor feasible, it might be necessary
to construct branch prisons in differ
ent parts OF the state; or build porta-
bio prisons, in order that the prisoners
might be kept safely when not at
work; yet being kept in the vicinity
OF their employment. However, when
the state decides to employ convicts
for this purpose il will not be dificuIt
to provide for the reasonable comfort
and safe keeping of the prisoners.
Prisoners who exhibit signs Of treach-

for their services which, except for
the question Of the best possible em-
ployment of the convicts themselves
would not be created for many years
at least. The question Of good roads
Is paramount one all over this ma
tion, but nowhere more than in Oregon.
Pause and make hurried estimate Of
the amount Of time utterly lost in trav-
cling over poor roads as compared to
good ones, and how long would IL take
the energy 80 wasted to make every
legal road an everlasting pavement. A
few years in any populated region, and
In no conceivable public Improvement
could the money be better spent. The
Labor Press takes this opportunity to
urge every one of its readers to help
make this live issue henceforth. Talk
It up on all occasions. AS soon as you
find a budding candidate for office ask
him how he stands on this road ques.
tion and specifically upon the matter
OF 50 employing the convicts We
would respectively call the attention
OF the press Of the city and state to
this matter and urge that they give
the subject thonght and then discuss
1t in their columns aus they conscien-
tiously think it should be discussed
Let US all constitute ourselves a
joint commission in this matter. II
you think the venture unsound say so
and give your reasons II every dis
senting argument can be thoroughly
offset and a unanimity Of public sup
port secured such as work of so gem
orally beneficial nature as this should
have, it is quite conceivable that the
result will be a permanent character
or internal improvement for the state
such as no similar outlay has ever ac-
eomPiished. 1t is of paramount moment
that this road commission shall report
haYorably upon the feasibility Of this
plan, and IL is mp TO the citizens of
this state TO help show the commits
sioners that it is feasible. Portland

cry or are troublesome in any way,
could be given labor Of some deserip-
tion within the walls of the peniten-
tiary. The state Of Washington seems
TO be making a success Of her prison
jute mill. Something Of this kind
could be provided by our state for tho
"'loDg termers."
1t is simply justice to the taxpayer
that prisoners should be made as near
ly self sustaining as possible. Even
when this is done the expense of cap
turing ana convicting criminals is not
light, and which the law-abiding tax
payer must support. If our highways
could be greatly improved by this class
Of labor this tax would bo more cheer
fully borne. A plan will, doubtless be
submitted to our next legislature, by
which such labor can be employed in
road building in different parts Of the
state.
