Some More Machine" Work.

In the recent letting of the con
tract for the employment of 600 con
yicts in the Frankfort penitentiary
for period Of eight years, by tn
Prison Commissioners, Messrs Brow
and McCutchen, it appears that tn
much abused Machine" has gottel
in some more of its dastardly work
and again oppressed the people O
the Commonwealth by making fol
them an additional 500, 900 pei
annum in the lease Of these convicts.
Under the contract held ty the com
pany, of which Col. 4. ID. Martin i,
the head, and which will expire, the
State received 30 cents per day
for each convict, and under the
new contract the State will receive
for each one IS cents per day, or
more thar twice as much a. il receiy-
ed under the old contract. Col, Mar
tin, who lost out under the recent
bid, but who accepts the result with
his customary grace and manliness,
has said that the gain to the State
under the new price will be ov r
sl00, 600 per annum and for the life
of the new contract will make almost
enough to pay for the new Capitol.
We sincerely hope that this change,
however. will not lose TO Kentucky
the genial and progressive head Of
the Frankfort Chair company, who
has made himself 80 popular during
his residence in Frankfort.

Spending Millions for Roads

Spending Millions for koads
With reference to the problem OF
good roads and the solution OF the
question how to secure the much
desired relief from present condi-
tions. the Staunton Dispatch very
wisely says:
Governor Montague has gathered
the facts end finds the State OF
Virginia spends a million dollars
year on roads, and yet, az ne
saws. mas very little to show for 1t.
One would think a million dollars
we'll spent would give the State
pretty good roads.
The explanation is not far to
seek The system is a bad one !;
there is too much diffusion and
not enough concentration. Some
years ago We counted it up anu
| found that under the present law
% men In Augusta county were
getting something out OF the ROAD
tax before it reached the laborers
and material at all.
A law is needed that will more
concentrate road management and
expenditure. We have always
thought that for big wealthy
county like Augusta the best sys-
tenn would DE one that provided
an engineer with assistants who
should have, subject to the board
of supervisors, entire control Oh
the workings of the roads and the
expenditures Of the money.
Under such a system the ROADS
would be worked in the season oil
the year when it is best to work
them, and with regular paid
force engaged in that bushes and
nothing else, and therefore capable
Of accomplishing more.
1t does seem that q better sys'
tenn than we new have ought TO De
worked out and adopted.

Mr.. Swanson Plans for Simple
Inauguration

Governor-elect CLAUDE a. o"anson
has mapped out his plans for his In
dncii, u into the executive Office on
February list, and he has decreed that
the ceremonies incident thereto shall
be simple and democratic to degree.
Governor and Mrs. Swanson, who are
now at the New Willard In Washing
ton. will come to Richmond on jan
uary 26th, and will stop at the Jeiier-
son Hotel until they take up their
abode In the executive mansion.
Governor Swanson will go to the
Capitol on Thursday morning, Eeo.
lat and after exchanging greetings
with Governor Montague will proceed
TO the hall OF the House Of Delegates,
where he will, In the presence of a joint
session OF the Legislature, take the
oath Of Office before Judge James
Keith. president Of the Supreme Court
of Appeals.
The new Governor will then deliver a
brief inaugural address, which will
conciseIy outline the salient features
of his administration. After the Gers
monies in the House. which will be
simple and unostentatious, II the
wishes of the new executive are OBJ
served, he Will go to the mansion ano
receive the members Of the General
Assembly, the State and city officials
and such citizens as may desire to call
between the hours Of 2 and 4 p. NJ
The entertainment at the mansion
will be in the nature OF buffet lunch
con, and 1t is likely that great many
prominent people will call to wish the
Governor end Mrs. Swanson happy
life IN the mansion and His Excellenc.
A euccessful administration. Thes
arrangements are subject to sligh
changes by Governor Swanson, but II
the main they will stand as outlined
above.
The public eye liz Virginia Is natural
ly turning toward the new aiministra
ton, and there is a growing feeling tina
Governor Swanson is going to max
an aggressive, clean-handed and popu
lar executive.
The simplicity which will mark tn
advent OF the Swansons into tn
ms nslon Is largely owing to the recen
bereavement OF Mrs, Swanson, oc
, casioned by the death OF her mother
| the late Mrs. Lyons.
i Whether Governor Swanson will
submit a message to the legislature
enc body his recommendations In his IL
augural address, is not detnitel.
known, but the letter impression
seems to be that he will, shortly ate
his induction into Cffce, communieat
his views on public questions at som
length In writing, to the body.
