the common SchOOl fund, and as
many more as they wish at regular
contract prices fixed by competi
tive bids. The board urges that
they be given preference over pri-
vate bidders.
The above plan would, however,
leave a large number of convicts
to be disposed of. 1t is stated
that one half of these we're put On
the work of extending the state
road, they could be maintained by
money derived from the leasing of
the other half. The demand for
convicts on the road will natural
ly increase, and by this method
there would be but a small per
cent of the states convicts employ
ed, except on stateaccount, followed
within the next decade by a great
er demand for labor on the roads,
and thus the ultimate employment
of the whole convict body.
Referring to the value of convict
labor, the commission sees no rea-
son, should good business condi
tions be restored, why they should
not bring $3.50 year each, in view
of the fact since the last general
lease was made cOnvicts have been
let out under sub-contracts at $3.50
a year. At present, however, the
market is temporarily depressed
because of poor trade in the lines
that consume the major portion of
such labor.
1t is lamented that many women,
some white, are confined on misde-
meanor chaingangs and the COM
mission suggests that judges be
given the right to send, within
their discretion, all women cOnvicts
to the female department of the
state farm.
In discussing the increase in the
penitentiary population it isshown
that for every 1856 negroes in the
state one is doing time in the peni
tertiary or on changing while
there is only one white convict out
of every 1888 general population.
Under this showing were the en-
tire population of the state whits
there would be only 100 peniten.
tiary and changing convicts in
stead of 1896 as at present.
The commission repeats It's
former recommendation anent
the. state reformatOry, asking
for a larger appropriation and for
the right to make many improve
ments. The undertaking is de-
scribed as a bitter disappointment
because of a lack of funds.
Another plea is made for better
pay for prison officials. Wardens
are making only 5000 year, and
guards only 1916, the latter earn
ing less than is paid for the con-
victs they guard. The board has
refused to permit it's employees to
accept any outside or independent
employment from contractors, for
fear of criticism, and urges this as
a special reason for allowing the
men larger salaries. The legisla-
ture is asked to increase the usual
appropriation $1,000 this year.

The Georgia Convict
Lease System,

The following brief but interest
ing history of the Georgia convict
lease system, printed as apart OF
the report of the Prison Commits
sion is of particular interest just
at this time:
"Between 1865 and 1899 felony
were leased outright to
individuals and companies and
were worked under lax supervis-
ion of the state. The lessees re
ceived the entire prison population
both sexes and all ages, with little
restriction as to their treatment or
care. The state derived An ave-
rage of only $4,000 a year from
the system, and $4,000 Of this
had to be paid out to maintain a
system of inspection. For several
years previous to the Inauguration
of the present system there were
an average of 2, 900 felony convicts,
the gross hire of each being only
$12 and net income $3.50 for each
of them. At the present time,
only ten years later, the state re-
ceives $136 net for each leased
prisoner. ..r
The present system of contract
ing for the sale of convict labor be-
gan in 1899, and was modified
somewhat in 1908. During that
period and including the unexpir-
ed portion ofexisting contracts, the
state has received 81, 757, 1858, 40
from the hire of it's felony prisO-
ners. The sum of $54, 5O9.76 has
been derived from the sale of pro-
duoduts OF the state farm at Mill
edgeville, the crop of this year
being estimated of $4,000. A
farm of 4, 200 acres hac been pur-
chased and paid for. In addition
to the above, 800 convicts have
been furnished to counties for
work on public roada, their being
worth $685.
The sum Of 1,555, 8O5.16 has
gone into the public school fund
from the hire of convicts.
During the present year, $780,
631.68 will be derived from the
lease Of convict labor, and $4,000
from the state form. The cost of
the department will be $14O,OOO,
the school fund deriving $238, 3d.
from that source.
1t is charged in the report that
more than 500 misdemeanOr con-
victs are being worked by contrac-
tors instead of on the public roads
as the law requires. This is ille-
gal and a deplorable violation Of
law, it is charged.
Twenty nine counties have
availed themselves Of the oppOr-
tunity afforded by the act of 1908,
so use their prorata share of con-
victs on the roads in lieu of their
part of the school fund, some of
the ecOunties hiring additional
prisoners from the state. 1t is
charged that the camps maintain
ed by the counties are no better
than those where contract prioners
are maintaied and that the treat
ment is no more humane.
The commission recommends
that all misdemeanor convicts be
first utilized on the public roads,
and then many felony prisoners as
are needed or desired. Referring
to the open violation of the law in
the matter OF leasing misdemeanor
cOnvicts, the board says:
''As long, however, as the law
as it is, providing that
convicts shall not be
hired to individuals but shall only
be worked by county authorities,
